A project

by Alasse

Been doing this for quite a while, only muck with it when i have a fair bit of spare time. It's messy but fun *L* I'm in no hurry, just seeing what can be done.

The tank is 3ft. It can never be fully filled again, so it will only be about 1/2 filled, looking for it to become a frog tank (this is the more likely choice) or a part aquatic part non aquatic plant tank

Its progression to now

that's alasse's link (hope it works)

frogs are cool...I've african dwarf frogs in the fish tank. These guys will just sit for hours, sitting, waiting for prey (fry) and then, zap, fry gulped.

So what type of frog or frogs are you going for?
