That tank looks awesome. The fern looks like it is high enough to let the brev's get to the top edge. Then they can disappear to anywhere. Back to the tank what size is it, and what are those roots or whatever they are at the bottom? i sure would love some of those. Great tank overall.
 
its olny a 20 gallon alreay makin plans for bigger one but hadta get this it done for em.the roots at the bottom? i think ya talkin bout the chunks of sandbalsted grape wood i set them in to where behind them is open so theres lots of open spots to lay eggsthe littler branches are manzanita that i had around that was to small for other uses so worked out perfect i baked them all at 350 for 30 mins so everythinhs freshgot the grape wood pieces at the reptile show so had alot to choose from....
 
the all glass ones? yea i loved those but lil more then i had so i did it myself im already planning to set up one in a 60 gallon tank i have i figure i can put something in the middle and make it into two viv's in one

Wow thats great, congrats - setup looks good! Keep us posted on the 60gal setup your working on as we have a similar sized tank we want to use to do the very same thing!! Will you be setting up a rain/mist system?
