New Pygmy Condo
Some of the B. superciliarius that I hatched out several months ago are ready for big boy/girl tanks. So I thought I’d share the process.
Got the hydroton and activated charcoal layer going. Couldn’t find the charcoal locally so I googled “buy activated charcoal” and sure as **** it took me straight to buyactivatedcharcoal.com which was kind of amusing. Corks cliffs too - brooks love those things. To hide the silicon in the corner seam I crammed some substrate into the silicon – a dart frog enclosure trick. Plants with sphagnum moss around the base – moss saves some soil. Substrate with moss to hide the tops of the plant pots Leaf layer, odds and ends, pill bugs Sticks Air plants, Spanish moss Male Female 1 Female 2 -roo |

The cork flats are from backjungle.com and the cork pieces for the cliffs can be found almost anywhere. Its a 29g tank whcih is pretty common for my setups. The cost/rent is frickin' BABIES and they better come through! Thanks for the nice comments ... I spend oodles of $$$ on these things not to mnetion all the time I put in. -roo |

Roo, Drew and I think that is the coolest! Awesome setup! On our brevs' tank, we used sphagnum and bark chips to fill in cracks, too. He is really taken with those pygmys...wants some! (Of course, he wants many, many animals...) I put a shelf fungus in my brev tank, but no bark shelves. I did put driftwood protruding out of the back, though.
Wish we had a "pygmy room"....

Roo,
That's a sweet tank, I like it. Out of curiosity (and I've thought this for a long time with these sorts of tanks), is there any reason you run the lower substrates all the way to the front of the tank? I would think that turning down the front edge so all you saw from the front was dirt would be a little better looking, unless there's a functional reason to keep it level under there... |

Tyler, if used as shown, you can see how well the tank is draining and filtering down the water. Also how much excess water you might be using.
