Default 40 gallon oceanic cube.

Got the tank on craigslist for $35, light and glass top, light not used.

I have four Leuc Poison Dart Frogs in there, and a water fall following the wood.

Here are the pictures.











Feed back would be appreciated.

Looks great and what a deal! It's very wild and natural. Cool looking frogs you have there. The tall plant (peace lily?) on the right looks a bit too big for the rest of the setup. What are all the plants that you have in there?

I got a couple (4 I think) types of club moss (aka selaginella) Strawberry begonia, another type of begonia, Java moss, the tall plants I have no idea what theya re, gottem at PetCo, but they do not look as bad in person. Also got some pilea I think it called, and oak leaf creeping fig, boston fern, and some other fern, button fern too.

The water plants are butterfly fern.

Nice, I like it. the more and more I see these, the more and more I think I have to do one.
Is there any good books on setting up and maintaining these?

Looking very natural!!! Love it! Any set up pix? A pix of your bare hardscape without plants will be very helpful
