Thanks for all the replies folks! I've bought a reptsun tube as suggested by the retailer, the same as they use in their tanks. £27 for a poxy T8 though, I just couldn't get my head round it! On the subject of frogs, I keep a variety of Dart Frogs. I switched from the standard ExoTerra canopy...

Cheers guys, I know the animal needs UV but do I have to get these marketed "UV" bulbs or is a standard T8 similar? Thanks again.

Hi folks, I'm looking into reptile lighting for the missis's Bearded Dragon. Now, companies like Arcaida and ExoTerra etc sell specific tubes that give off UVA and UVB, apparently. What i'm wondering is, is this just a marketing ploy similar to "plant pro" tubes for planted aquaria etc or do I...

Well you certainly know your stuff Roy! I can see your inbox filling up when i start my new project :wink:

You got it mate, all sorts. Oh, and it'll have 30 x 60 x 80cm of water at the bottom for a shoal of cardinals or similar, it's gonna be so sweet :D

I aint scared pal, i'm double hard :lol: I've handled it before and i'm still here :wink: It is a shame i broke it down, i learned a few lessons from it and now have a custom built 60d x 80w x 1220h plan in the making to replace my 80cm tank :wink: i'll be sure to keep you all informed of the...

I'm not mate, sadly, i've had to break it down as my frog has escaped :( He must have jumped out whilst installing some lighting, i can see no other way it could get out! Thanks for that info Roy and our frogs look great. I'm certainly gonna be buying some more so feel free to post away, i...

Cheers Squiggley, thats a cracking site, thats what i've been using lately. I've been chatting to Shirley Aquatics in Oxford and they have loads of frogs in so that looks like the place to go, although they're mightily expensive compared to various websites.

Happy days, i could have popped in there at the weekend if i'd known.

Good point, most vivs have mesh for a roof which obviously lets light in and ventilates at the same time, many have ventilation at the bottom of the front pane too, hhmmmmm. I've just looked for tree frogs and they're in the region of £75.

Yeah, worth thinking about :)

Why not turn your tank on it's end and "make" and acrylic door for it :wink:

Most vivs are taller than they are wide, there's a reason for it. You may be ok but you may need to do a load of research as the main thing i've heard about them is, they need a tall vivarium. I've not researched Tree Frogs specifically though but this is all i've heard.

£50 is the cheapest Dendrobate (thats why i have one LOL) they go up to about £200. The Tree Frogs need a big viv because they jump quite far and like to be as high up as possible. I'm just discussing a possible new project with my Master (Jeremy) and we're talking about Tree Frogs coz the...

Hey guys, thanks for all the kind words! It was £50 He's easy to keep, i don't do anything, just feed him flightless fruit flies. I haven't had to do anything to keep the humidity up, the moisture in the soil keeps it up i presume, it's stayed around 70-80% and all the plants are saturated...

Thanks mate! Will do :D

Ha, i have thought about it LOL I can't stop thinkin about it, i'm gonna redo it tonight i recon, use some fossilised wood to match the background and make a proper "pond" for the waterfall. Jeremy gay had an awesome one, much bigger and it fascinated me, thats why I got one! Cheers mate :D...

Not yet brother, will be in there by the end of the week though!

Cheers mate, well i've built a waterfall, i have clay pebbles at the bottom topped with peat so there is plenty of moisture. Oh, of corse....i took the front glass out for the photo, sorry i should have said, so it's not hard. I have a humidity meter in there so i'll check it when i get home.

Hey guys, On Sunday i got myself a Poison Dart Frog - Dendrobate leucomelas and it's way cool. I got a cheap, craked Clear Seal viv at about 40 x 40 x 30 and scaped it up using local mosses and Blue Stone from TGM. It took about 30 minutes to do and i love it. I'm gonna resape it soon with...

Hi mate, the black stuff is the business! i use it in most of my tanks. It surprises me that MA said that they have to order a pallet load in, thats not true, that have to order a pallet load of stock but it can be a pallet full of one of each bag in the range if they want? Unipac have said "We...

Hi mate, that sounds harsh. What gravel did you want? MA's and WoW's seel Unipac stuff. I have loads of their stuff, you need to check out their fossilised wood. mmmmmmmmmmmmm :wink:
