Less Aqua

So, I figured I would just start with this...

...and let you all know that there won't really be much water in it. Do you all still want to follow?

Now you have me intrigued. What are you going to do with the tank?

Yes.

Hell yeah, dude. Make it happen.

I'll post more later...

Dendrobates tinctorius azureus

Oh boy. This thread is like a murder mystery!

 

[Evergreenblue]

You know what Vicki... I like that comment and I think I'll use that as a "theme", if you will. I think I'll s t the scene with my next post!

Full credit to you of course (assuming there's enough interest in this!)

This story takes place in the Sipaliwini Savannah. Located in southern Suriname, the Sipaliwini Savannah is a grassland peppered with palm trees.

Within the Savannah, forest islands exist around water, creating isolated tropical ecosystems with high humidity and an abundance of life.

Imagine within one if these forest islands, you see fallen branches and decaying vegetation in the understory giving life to epiphytic plants and fungi, surrounded by moss covered rocks and tiny shallow pools of water.

Not the best eye candy, but I figured I would share some quick pictures of the hardscape I've selected... I'll probably do a mockup and share what I had in mind soon.

I plan on turning this into a nursery log:

I'm going to have some stones too, but haven't found any I like yet.

Oh... By the way, in case it's not yet apparent...

Small world. I did an independent study report on Suriname in college. Would love to go there someday.

Really!? That's awesome! I'll have to pick your brain about details!

Looks like it's going to be a nice setup. I like that log.

 

[Evergreenblue]

I'm still deciding how I want to place the log... I'll try to mock up the branches though to help show what I have in mind!

It's a little dark, and please excuse the golf tees holding up the wood, but here's a couple pictures showing what I have in mind. (Eventually I'll put better pictures up, I promise! )

*Note the awesome pocket in the center of the piece on the left... I've got plans for that!

 

[VickiK]

Riveting. I love this kind of stuff. Don't spare one detail!

I'm attending the reptile expo tomorrow in Monroe... I've never been to one, but perhaps I might find something useful for this, we will see!
