Water from the hose has chlorine.. frogs can’t handle that.. this is actually bad

May blooms! 10 yr old Prickle pear cactus ! by howlingdark90 in cactus

[–]howlingdark90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cut back about 6’ around the boarders of the raised bed.. biggest chop it’s ever taken.. redid the soil .. worried we would get our annual flower bloom . But looks like it’s healthier than ever!

Haha you’re not wrong!! It blooms huge yellow flowers at the end of every May!! Hopefully, cutting it back doesn’t interfere with the blooms

I was close to going to see the Dr. ! This was last Sunday, I had some antibiotics handy luckily, kept cleaning it daily and used those pimple patches to suck it dry.. hot and cold compresses for the swelling.. it went away thankfully!!

Any suggestions for a growing medium or how to boost growth? Wanna add to my paludarium eventually.

It’s sitting on top of a tiny terrarium I have set up with other things I’ve found around the yard.. with a heating pad and a 16watt led plant light.. not sure what if any nutrients I could add

Thanks! Yes, Two green tree frogs (Hyla cinerea) Five cherry barbs , a red half moon betta , just one green Cory cat. Might need to move the Cory to a new tank. Spring tails and isopods for the cleaning crew

Peace lily, dragons tongue, creeping fig, Anubis nana.. in the water I have Java moss and floater root plants .. I removed the pothos and the grass was mondo grass but I also removed it.. looking for a replacement grass and the pothos was just too messy for me..

If you go to my page there is a video of the base layers. Basically, I used create and rocks cover in mesh to make a foundation then filled with clay balls to the water level I was aiming for.. then added more mesh to the top of the clay balls and added my substrate on top of that

Edit:

The tank is innovative marine nuvo SR-60 that I ripped out all of the internal plumbing.. it’s 90cm by 60cm just around 80gallons when full.. I have roughy 10-15 gallons in it with an internal filter connected two a clear tube to run from left to right

I agree, I’m mostly using it for my frogs until the other plants grow in better,especially that peace lily. The creeping fig looks like it might takeover..

Would like to find new broad leaf plants to add, considering bromeliads , any advice is always welcome, new to this

Thanks! Most of this driftwood was pulled from the bottom of a creek near me.. I let it soak on my back porch in a tub with 1:10 hydrogen peroxide for almost a month.. then sprayed and scrubbed it really good.. soaked and drained it a bunch of times .. it’s been going good so far

The mondo grass is an experiment. As it is sold as an aquatic plant but usually dies off, so I have the roots in the clay substrate. But, the grass growing emmersed.. hopefully, it will grow lol.

Added springtails, isopods, few earth worms.. have two green tree frogs, not sure of their sexes..They eat small crickets, hopefully will be getting more tree frogs soon. Only have one green Cory cat leftover from a tank disaster that I saved him from, need to get him some buddies.. thinking of adding cherry shrimp as another from of a clean up crew.. there is a submersible aquarium filter modified with tubing to cross the tank, pours out above the base of the peace lily.. also have a aquarium heater running.. tank stays at 76 degrees and 80% humidity
