Yesterday I posted about a free 20 gallon high tank that I received for free. I brought it home, cleaned it up, and realized that it has a huge crack on the top potion where a muddy patch had been.
I cleaned it up, sanded any rough spots off, and then applied aquarium sealant around the crack to prevent it from cracking further.
I don't trust it to hold water, so I decided to turn it into a home for the tadpole I rescued from work. (They usually end up as feeders!) He is a Northern Leopard Frog, I do believe.
Anyways...
I am planning on doing a half land/half water do-it-yourself vivarium, with egg crates, pvc, hydroballs, eco-earth, etc.
I was thinking about doing duck weed in the water since I can get that for free and its a native plant.. What other live plants would be good?
Also, has anyone ever used the zoo med cork background for a vivarium before?
I'd appreciate any and all tips and suggestions!
