[QUOTE="Charoozz520, post: 329362, member: 2156"] Yes luckily with Dart Frogs they don't mind the humidity so I have an automatic mister setup. I also have a fan inside the tank that circulates the air so it doesn't get stagnant. As for vertical and adding more depth to your tank here's a simple hack, get a nice growing pothos, and plant it towards the back, then since they like to vine you can use stainless steel jewelry wire or even cut up some paperclips and make a U shape, use these to hold the stems in place on the background (you should be able to press it into the Styrofoam background just make sure the hole is big enough that you don't crush the stems. This way you can guide the pothos to grow up the background. As for a planted fish tank, are you going high tech or low tech? I agree it is a huge balancing act, before I got into mantises I had a high tech tank that I have to spend tinkering with everyday. It looked nice but it was a lot of work (I literally trim a bucket full every week). Unfortunately, I went on vacation and the person who was taking care of my tank didn't do everything I asked so it was a pond of green soup when I got home. Here it was before it turn into a disaster, maybe one day I will start it over [IMG]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7885/32524241627_3a71bcfd3f_z.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
