I've been really interested in the dart frogs but I am unsure of how to mod the Biocube to make it into the vivarium.
Ventilation and lighting/heat, I am not sure about.
Designing it isn't too bad. I started a DF project and kayboshed it because I just couldn't spend the time on care.
So basically here is how it goes (for me at least)
-Gravel - not too fine
-Rocks and plants - design how you want
-Substrate design - make it pretty high on the right and low (kind of like a bowl) to hold the water.
-Buy a reptile type pump (I don't remember what I purchased) and I buried it in a part of the gravel, behind decorations, because when you fill the tank with water (for the little basin) water still seeps into the gravel. In my case, -I positioned it so that I still got alot of water pumped out.
-I then took a tube and attached it to the pump (make sure you match up the diameter with the pump output part so it's a snug fit)
-I ran it up and behind a piece of rock I bought that looked like a slide (pretty cool)
-I took silicone and attached the end of the pump hose to the back of the top of the slide -- I adjusted the output (higher or lower) of the pump so the water went up a bit and slid down the slide into the water basin.
-From there you decorate (moss, rocks, wood, plants, etc)
That's about it!
With more research it may be explained better. I hybridized the explanation with my experience.
Let us know what you choose.
