haha ya after i got into reefing i figured and pretty much stop the hole plants and terrarium thing but its seems to have now come back and over run my reef tank... (probably because i dont have money to buy new toys and critters for it) but now i got my self into 4x4. as for the frogs that would be sweet i could trade you some plants or somethin.

I was also inspired by this thread, (thanks alot I didn't really need another hobby :smile:) I picked up a 18x18x24 Exo Terra yesterday. I also ordered a Mistking kit.
Still doing my research but I'm planning on doing the FF mods, maybe use an Aqualifter for a water feature and still not decided on which way to go with the background, either Epiweb or Great Stuff.
I'm ultimately hoping to put in a group of D.leucomelas.
Anyone have any tips for culturing FF's? That's the part I'm most apprehensive about.

Haha:mrgreen: Lots of hobbies are good. :twised:


Might be interested in selling or trading my terrariums (minus a few of my mini orchids) thinking of making one big terrarium to house all my greenhouse plants, as i cant justify heating a 6'x6' greenhouse for 10 plants. If anyones interested pm me.

I finished my Exo-terra build, should be fruit fly proof and ready for some leucs.
There is a small waterfall and pond powered by 2 Aqualifters hooked up in parallel.
Picked up some cheap plants at Golden Acres, we'll see what grows. Still need to get a couple small broms for the back.
The Mist King is great, the timer can go down to 1 sec.

It looks AWESOME!!! Nice work.

Can you post a picture of the timer? When I bought Mist King stuff a couple years ago there was no timer available from him. (I've never gotten around to setting up a vivarium yet, I'm just pack-ratting the equipment until the day comes that I have time to take care of it.) A timer with 1-second resolution is something I'd love to get my hands on. Can it be sold separately or do you have to buy a whole new kit, do you know?

Pescador 10-29-2008 03:17 AM

Sure no problem. They sell the timer as a $28.99 add on, you would think they would sell you one separately.
It came in Mistking packaging with nothing identifiable except the product # on the back.
Tony I ended up with way to much coco bark, substrate material and other stuff so if you decide to give it a go let me know.
So now to order springtails and fruit flies.:neutral:
