    I know this is crazy old and you will never see this, Mike, but I really appreciate you leaving the waterfall "fail" in. It makes me feel better. Also....and I say this from my heart, you really should leave the waterfall in! I LOVE the way it looks cut open, and the drip will not only be hidden by plants but it is, you know, how nature works!!! I absolutely LOVE what you did, and it gives me a lot of ideas for my bioactive viv I'm working on.

      Good luck, and the reason I didn't want that is because it saturates the soil.

      Mike Tytula idk if u read this but i need help, okay so basicly the room temperature is at day 19,5°c here. at night it lowers a little bit. at summer at a realy hot day its 22 to 24°c what light i need to higher a 20 gallon by 5°c ? and if its 24°c in our house at summer is it oksy to turn the light off? or do the dartfrogs need the light at all time. i also could buy a fan in the summer.

    Hey great video it teaches a lot to a beginner. I was thinking the dripping was ok because in nature everything is not perfect. I think its important to have imperfections just as much as perfections so it dont look to fake. I guess im speaking from an artistic point of view. thanks for the video

  • @ProfessorAquaria

    I specifically watched this video to get an understanding of the waterfall, then when you are almost done, you change your mind. Anyways, at least I learnt a few tricks and tips. Good video.

    Hey Mike! I have a question for you. I'm turning an old 75g into a vert converted vivarium for my tokays, but I've been trying to wrap my head around how I'll heat it properly. My target ambient temp is about 85, but a heat lamp on a screen top wouldn't penetrate heat down 48", and heat tape on the bottom/back might not make much of a difference with a thick layer of substrate and a DIY foamy background. Think a small waterfall feature and reservoir with an aquarium heater in it would be a good idea? If I had toasty warm water in the drainage layer that should keep it nice and warm, right?

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  5 років тому +1

      I would have a ceramic heat emitter, it will be tough to achieve the 85 ambient though. All the things you mentioned are good but honestly I would just try and keep the room temp around 80 that way there isn't too much of a drop off.

    • @brie1226
      @brie1226 5 років тому

  • @TheOpelkoenjas

    I too had problems with leaks in my waterfall. But I didn't give up that fast. It took me a bunch of swearing, lots of beers to calm me down and stubbornness (which I'm known for), and two weeks later everything was working just fine without a single leak. Yes, two weeks. Building your own background with waterfall feature takes patience. Lots of it. LOL
    Cheers.
    Ps: isopods are to be found everywhere in the yard here, by literally the millions. LOL Of course, not during winter (nowhere to be found then), but by that time I already have a good established colony in the tanks. And yes, they are equally safe to use, provided that the soil you gather them from has never been sprayed with toxic products.

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  7 років тому +1

      haha I tried for a solid two weeks and without redoing the whole thing it honestly just wouldn't work.

    Very nice video, an easier but messier way that I do to cut egg crate is to use a large heavy knife and start cutting a row of squares out and then once you have it started just chop down with the heavy knife like a butcher knife and you can cut maybe 10-15 squares at a time. They do fly everywhere though. I'm also glad you didn't put as much foam in this tank, it looks very nice :)

      @garysizemore3729 6 років тому

      If you are just going down the line straight try a large screwdriver to break it out fast then clean up any problem spots. Little safer than a big knife and the roundness of the rod keeps it from digging in and going a different direction.

What are some things you do to prevent this? I am about to start my first terrarium for my RETF. I love this video. I am going to be adding a waterfall as well. So, thank you so much for this!

    Have you ever thought of building a freestanding vivarium without a tank? I know you wouldn't be able to house animals but I think it could be a cool concept for a tropical foliage display, especially if you incorporate a repti fogger to maintain humidity. Might get around to trying it myself one day!

    Hi Mike, great video as always. Just after a bit of advice please. I'm currently building an 85g dart frog vivarium and I was pondering about the addition of LECA? I have got a 4" high false bottom and was planning to have the water about 3" high under this, to feed a waterfall system. Is the LECA really needed with a false bottom or not, or can the substrate go straight onto the egg crate layer?Many thanks in advance.

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  6 років тому

      A waterfall in a beardy cage would introduce to much humidity in the system and might cause respiratory infections. I'm not saying it can't be done, just have to be careful

    Side cutters would work much better than the wire stripers, for cutting the egg crate. You may want to give that a try.

    @cashakozlov3104 4 роки тому

    If you're going to be covering it with silicone anyway just get the cheap expanding foam and save a bunch of bucks! When you cover it it makes it safe for the animals so the "Great stuff expanding foam" Is perfectly fine and cheaper if you're just covering it with silicone anyway :)

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  4 роки тому

      A lot of time you miss some of the foam and it shows through with bright yellow.

    Cake the waterfall with a tube of silicone let it dry then another layer for your substrate. It will work.

    Recently I had an aquarium tank where my fish died, but I wanted to turn it into a large vivarium. I wanted to know if 25 gallons would work? It has a top mesh and everything, but it’s a tad bit large. I was thinking geckos or red claw crabs

    • @MikeTytula
      @MikeTytula  6 років тому

      It would work for a vivarium but I would strongly recommend getting a glass top depending on the species you want to put in it.
