Hey Troy how do you view this set up now 13 years back?
lol certainly gets the job done. And it’s totally fine for most keepers. It was a very average setup.
Would that foam false bottom have to be cycled periodically? Or do you just siphon out the water? I’ve never seen this before and would be interested in trying it out. Thanks.
Stunning frog room extremely jealous great work 🔥 🔥 Would love to see more videos from your channel ✌️✌️
This is an awesome video, but how in the world do you find your glass? Every custom glass place I look is selling one pane around the size of a Single front door panel for $60+, at that point its cheaper to just buy a customized terrarium that is pre-built by an outside company
Local mirror and glass shop
Hi, I'm trying to find E channel like you use. Where did you get yours? It looks like a lot of the old links are now unavailable.
Hi
That red mushroom at 6:22 is beautiful
Do you know the name of the mosses on the left branch and do you use riccia fluitans is it a good moss?
i had this issue with mine as well. fortunately, i found a solution by wrapping a garden liner around the intake to prevent clogging the nozzles. it works fantastic as it's fine enough for the water to flow through, while , at the same time, enough to keep all the fine debris out. works wonders for a year and a half now
Great video!
room tour room tour room tour
very cool system!
So interesting ❤
How much do cork panels last? Im keen on using them but dont know if insects will degrade it quickly.
Very beautiful frogs! Interesting facts! Ty for sharing your expertise
+1 subscriber!!! WOW
I noticed you don't use soil or ABG but rather put moss and leaves directly on the sponge filter. Where do the isopods and springtails live? I though they needed soil to live, but maybe that's not always true?
Hey Troy, love all the videos - they’re essentially my bible for vivarium construction. Wanted to run a question by you; do you add isopods/springtails in the aquarium sponge substrate and if so what’s the success rate?
Would this system hold 2 18x18s side b side before another upright? I think I'd follow your advice and have 3 cross pieces if that makes a difference.
Where did you get the hydra lawn. I google it and all kind of thing come up. Is it simply weed barrier mesh ?
What do the people who raise tadpoles in cups do with the adults?
I have black spiders in my vivarium with crested geckos and frogs. I think probably the came in with the crickets, but I don’t know. I am wondering if you could help me because I have the substrate and the wood chips and the bark 2:26 and they are all infested with these black spiders. How do I get rid of them. Please help… I do not know what to do and I have not heard any Vlogs on how to get rid of spiders out of your vivarium. Thank you.
I received a plant and there were two tadpoles in the bag, one dead and one alive with half its tail cut off...I rescued it and put it in my vivarium, when I found it it was about 2cm, now after 3 months it is still a tadpole, but this with 6.5cm, is it normal to take that long? He has fully regenerated his tail and continues to grow, but only growing like a tadpole, no legs yet
I love this plant taste
Not exaggerating... I have watched this video over 5 times while chilling in my frog room. It's time for the 2024 frog room tour! 🐸
Been shooting the B roll for a few weeks now… I’m hoping to have it done in July some time
I know the care itself would not be too difficult as ive done salt water tanks and reefs tanks in the past a bunch. But setting up the tank with spray foam and such that is permanent is what makes me nervous
How do you stop the glass from forming water spots?
I need my wall to look like that intro..
hi troy do you have any ready to sale
hi ready for sale
Where do you get that moss that’s growing all over the logs ?? I’ve been trying. To find it.
I see no issue with the terrarium … but do you. Lol
Where at in Ohio are you located sir?
lol are you talking about a tank from Protean terrariums at the end did he actually ever send it or refund you?
Have you ever been interested in keeping mantellas?
Is this your favorite method for backgrounds?
Not sure if it’s my favorite… it’s definitely the easiest and fastest while still being good looking
Ya debating on doing this way or hygrolon
Question about door measurements: You have it at 17"x11". I get the width 11x2 is 22 (the length of the tank +1/2" overlap) but the hight is 17". If you dam is 6 and total height is 24, that leaves 17.5" space (accounting for 1/2"glass thickness). Are your doors 1/2" smaller? is that correct (24-6=18-.5(bottom and top glass thickness)=17.5 space
Your forgetting about the door track clearance
hey troy what is that mesh stuff you put on the expanding foam I couldn't hear it good because I want it to use it for when I build my second tank another question what are good plants for the background
Hygrolon
I think rubbing an uncooked potato on the glass also works, right? hahaa for the cheap temporary solution.
My dad likes your work 🎉.
I really like this video
Damm.. Your tanks never looked better. RO sytems are a total quality of life upper, great video as usual 🤙
what are the waterfall boxes does anyone know what is does and where to buy ?
They make the water trickle out like an overflow box…. Rather than directly out of the tube which sometimes has crazy flow
Beautiful! How do you go about fertilising them?
Beauties!
I have one of them installed in the basement and I plumbed it up to a fridge water line outlet behind my terrarium. I’m just hoping they never stop making the filter because I’ve never found those filters for anything else.
Nice hoodie
Whenever you do the tour can we also see that tadpole setup? I may be alone here but I find tadpoles super cool.
Marty is a great dude , Mist King has some awesome products on the Horizon 🚿
Thanx Troy, I'm gonna have to look into getting this. I'm still on caveman status, getting cases of distilled water 😂
I promise an RO system will be one of the best investments you could makes. So worth it!
