  1. it fits nicely in the rear compartment it worked well enough for the puffers setup the tank swings from 24.8 on cooler mornings to :facepalm: 27.4 on warm afternoons mostly because the room heats up in the afternoon sun, as were heading towards winter this shouldn't be two much of a problem edit: tank is currently 26.8 corals dont seem to mind it and the turbo snails are still turboing :sml2:

    I got up to quite a bit overseas (mostly trouble) but some of the not so troublesome things I did was: spent some time in Asia teaching english and working in a sanctuary for elephants for about 6 months Then went to Argentina for a few months to watch the orca hunting south american sea lions hope those img links work :smln:

  10. Hey all been a long time from my last post. me and a flat mate got some tadpole's a few weeks ago from a pet shop down here and there just at the stage where they can climb out of water :happy1: judgeing from size and colour i think there Whistling tree frogs. but i have a few questions is a small exoterra terrium an ok size for 4 of these little guys once there hopping arround? and i was thinking of putting a few small carnivirous plants (sundue and a pitcher) and a few (small) tree branches in for them would this cause any problems? tank will be lit with a small jebo clip on light and most likely have a sphagnum moss does anybody else use sphagnum moss with their frogs?
