beautiful build mike.. im a new subscriber and new to the reptile hobby. absolutely love your videos and appreciate the in-depth approach you take in your content. i see the passion, and it keeps me watching your videos and getting inspiration. keep up the great work!
That is fantastic to hear! Welcome to the hobby! I take pride in going deeper with my videos, not as sensational as many, but I feel like there is a lot less value in the sensational stuff
Love it. Love to watch build videos for the inspiration 🎉
Thanks! That’s why I watch them as well
I love the end result Mike, it looks absolutely amazing!!
Thanks! Put a lot of work into this one!
Looks great Mike! 👍
Thanks Mike!
Awesome looking setup, fuego ! Love it !
Thanks for watching!! :)
This viv is fuego man! Great work!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Great video. Stunning tank wow.
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy Chantal!
It’s finally done haha, awesome build. Hope to do a massive enclosure soon as well
Working on the second one now! Hahah
Beautiful build and plants and FUEGO frogs
Thanks! So happy with it!
fuego - thanks for sharing -- very inspiring work
Thanks for watching the whole video!
looks awesome
Thanks so much!
Nicely done! Fuego!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Any videos showing the updated vivarium? Really curious to see how you covered the sub stratum. Replicating a tank like this in a couple days and was hoping to see more of the ground layer.
Stunning
Thanks!
That build was on fuego!!!!!!
Haha thanks for watching!!
Fuego! Love this!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
I've been watching for a long time. Your builds and filmmaking never fail to impress me. Very Feugo!
Thanks so much! Glad you appreciate the filming aspect of the videos as well!
Nice FUEGO! Could watch hours of this footage 🔥
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
Nice build!
Thanks Andreas!
This is so beautiful! Poison darts are such beautiful lil guys and learning more about their homes is so fun! Fuego video ✨
Thanks for watching! Part of why I love them so much is because of the habitats you can setup for them!
Totally educated me and what an absolutely beautiful piece of living art you created! Completely on fuego and the frogs, which are striking btw, I’m sure are loving it. Gonna go check out some of your other vids, thanks for making this one, I really, really enjoyed it you did a fantastic job!
Thanks for the kind words! Definitely check out some of the other videos! More build videos in the works and videos from my trip to Colombia!
Well done! Fuego!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Si esta muy fuego. Truly looks great
Thanks so much!
That mouthful of cork😂
Glad someone got a laugh out of it
I’ll honestly watch this video around a dozen times. Before Tinley park was interested in dart frogs. Now after the fact I want to add some in the future. This will be very helpful thank you.
Awesome! Please do enjoy it 12 times hahah
Diego my boy! I’m starting my journey with a plant based Vivarium, awesome tips!
Hahaha I assume you meant fuego hahah. Awesome! It’s addicting
I love that purple flower at the end and oh FUEGO!
Ya that is one of my favourite plants in the tank :)
This turned out very fuego 🔥
Ayyyy Thanks for watching all the way through! Hope you enjoyed!
Incredible build! I just got my very first dart frogs, two little tinc azureus froglets
Oops! Fuego haha
Thanks for watching all the way through! And this setup would work for azureus as well :)
id live in it
Thanks man!
It looks very FUEGO 🙂👌🐸
Thanks!
Great build, Fuego 🐸💚
Thanks for watching Rick!
Mannnn so glad I came across this your the first person I seen use cork bark sheets definitely the route I plan on going now instead of having to spread silicone over everything then packing coconut fiber on top… F’ing Fuego bro 🔥🔥🔥👍👌
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed! This method is messy as hell, but looks so good
Great vid- made me rethink my strategy
Awesome! Feel free to send some photos on ig
Beautiful ! (Fuego!)
thanks for watching the whole video!
Looks very nice :)
Thanks so much! Happy with how it turned out!
Looks awesome Mike. Where did you get those cork panels from? I haven't seen them before? I also haven't seen the filter media substrate method which looks great once carved and covered in substrate
Thanks Greg! There is a company in BC that sells the cork although cant remember the name right now! I get it from a place locally. Really happy with how the filter media turned out, but damn it ain't cheap haha
Amazing FUEGO
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Epic Fuego!!!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Awesome (fuego) build, can’t wait to have the space to give something like this a go!!
You can always do it on a smaller tank as well!
@@MikeTytula for sure, I’m definitely going to give something like this a go at some point!
You definitely did! I did it in a 14x17x24@@bjgreptiles
Beautiful build and FUEGO frogs 😏❤🔥🔥
Thanks so much! This was a blast to build! Can't wait to get started on the other tank!
Looks great Mike, I think you sold me on working with a cork panel hardscape background! Fuego
💯🤘🦎🐸🐍🐢🌱
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the build style!
I wish I had used cork. I just love the look of it, and the fact that it is basically a solid substrate is icing on the cake.
Definitely not a complete substrate but something we are messing with to find other applications for.
Fuego Mike!
Thanks for watching!
Minty mint 🌱
Sometime you’ll comment something about the video ;) or watch the whole thing and comment the secret word!
Watched the whole thing haha but mint is what mint does
lmao
Beautiful Vivarium; more Vivarium Builds as a Suggestion.
Got a bunch to build over winter!
Build is pretty Fuego
Thanks! Very happy with how it turned out!
Ok you convinced me. Gonna have to try cork bark background on my next tank
It’s well worth it!!
Fuego spicy is my favorite food and your frogs are awesome.
You and me both! And thanks :)
Fuego 🔥🔥
Thanks for watching!!
Excellent build. Already doing lots of my vivs this way but picked up some tips on fire or should I say Fuego? Very nicely done! Been watching your channel for about a decade
That’s incredible! Thanks for watching! I appreciate your viewership for so long!
Great video, terrarium looks sick, was wondering what do you use to tie plants to branches to help them root to it?
Mostly just fishing line! Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed
Those are some lucky frogs ❤❤❤
Thanks so much!
That vivarium is en fuego 🔥
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed!
Fuego vid/build my friend. Subbed. 👍
Thanks for watching! And thanks for the sub!
Fuego 🔥
Thanks for watching! :)
Loved it Fuego hehe
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Wonderfull build looking to upgrade my tank size soon so i can be FUEGO
Thanks for watching!!
Fuego-tastic!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
the build was FUEGO my friend
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Fuego!! Ha
Great looking build! I want to do something like this however i want mine to be more bioactive with springtails and isopods. So maybe no sponge on the bottom? Drainage layer, eco earth and leaf litter perhaps. What do you think? Love your tank!!!
There is still springtails in this build, they help feed the froglets. you can definitely go with no filter foam though.
Diego I really like this build. I like the drain. I have to use a fish tank hose to empty mine
Ya I used to do that for my old tanks, but drilling is so easy
Fuego Aye!
Thanks for watching until the end!
can't wait for the fuego'n next video!
Reptile room tour early next week!
Fuego 👊
Thanks for watching!
Fuego!!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Great content!
Ricard, Sweden 🇸🇪
Thanks for watching! So cool to see some people from all across the world! Hi from Canada
Hey man, really cool build! Where do you get your lights for the tank? I can never seem to find a good bright light that can support plant life too.
These are just sunblaster LED lights haha
Very FUEGO
Thanks so much for watching the whole build!
The plants. Fuego
haha my favourite part of any build! Thanks for watching all the way through!
That cork background looks great! Where did you get the cork by the way? I'm having a hard time finding cork with that thickness around Toronto
Hi Kent, you can buy it from me if you'd like because I'm local! Shoot me an email or IG message
@@MikeTytula awesome! Thanks Mike! I'll send you a message
Cheers! We'll chat there!
Hastala.... Fuego? Nice build Mike! I definitely want to see the progress of the plants growing in. Did you add a fan inside, or do you plan to?
Thanks Jesse! Hope you enjoyed the video! I don’t have a fan in there currently, don’t have plans to add one yet, but maybe in the future
do you have a build video on the tanks itself, or the place you bought the supplies for door and or what not?
I don't have a build on the glass itself. There are a couple other tutorials on UA-cam though
It’s beautiful, so are the frogs
Glad you enjoyed :)
Fuego👏
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Would like to have seen more on the pluming ie the misting system and how often you run it.
That’ll be on the next build :)
Fuego!!!!😊😊😊
Thanks for watching!
yes it would be very helpful if you did a live planting video!
I will likely do a live for the second tank I am working on.
thank you!@@MikeTytula
pretty fuego, bro
Thanks for watching the whole video!
badass as per usual. killer build from da boyz🤌🏻🤌🏻
Thanks man! Really happy how this one turned out!
Super fuego
Thanks for watching!
This was super duper FUEGO lol
Thanks for watching! :)
That cork bark crack was so satisfying😮
That was the goal!
El Fuego 🔥
Thanks for watching!
Very fuego, where did you find the background material?
I sourced it local to me
Fuego!
Thanks for watching :)
🔥
I was literally just about to text you 🤣
Im just now thinking of building a large tank for some bumble bee frogs I hope to find next month at the reptile show in Lodi California. I hope my tank will be at least nice enough to show my friends😂.
Where do you buy the cork bark you glued on the walls?
I honestly have no idea where you find them in the US
Fuego fuego fuego!!!
Thanks for watching all the way through!
Cool build fuego
I saw some moss called rose moss would that be good for dart frog set ups?it looks so cool
Thanks for watching! Let me know what the scientific name of the plant is
This looks incredible mate! One random question asI am only just starting to research into this 'hobby' and notice alot of people make their backgrounds in one way or another. How do the background and side panels look from the outside of the vivarium? Do you do anything to try and hide where the cork has been siliconed to the glass?
You can paint the sides, or cover it in vinyl if you don't like the looks of the outside of the enclosure
I am in eastern canada as well. Can you mention where you sourced your panels from?
They only sell wholesale quantities, if you are interested in individual panels shoot me a message on IG and I can sell you a couple.
I wish I had used cork instead of drylok and foam. It looks incredible. I loooove it.
Yes, please stream on yt.
One tip, for future reference, would be to soak the dry wood for a couple of days in the bathtub, to get it nice and water logged. I assume using tap water with dechlorinator added would be ok. I imagine it will take it quite a while to fully absorb moisture in the tank. Idk, maybe not.
It looks spectacular, fr. Can't wait to see the update. Fuego. That's actually a great pet name. I like Enfuego as a name, pronounced ahn fuego
Thanks for watching! Problem with soaking the wood is not silicone or spray foam would stick to it if it was wet.
Looking great Mike! Mucho fuego!! Que paso?!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
