Yo Troy, do you have any advice on a low growing moss/liverwort that I could culture and eventually move to wood? I’m talking like cork or something for orchid mounts. Light and humidity ain’t a problem, I just don’t know where to get this or what would do well.

I noticed you don't use soil or ABG but rather put moss and leaves directly on the sponge filter. Where do the isopods and springtails live? I though they needed soil to live, but maybe that's not always true?

Troy what’s your recommendation on using UVB light for poison fart frogs. I’m starting to get into the hobby and I’m getting confounding information. Currently I have 3 cinnamon tree frogs (I know they are not dart frogs) that I keep with a UVB light, and 2 azureus froglets that I keep in a grow out bin with no UVB light. Should I move them into enclosure with uvb light too or is it okay to keep them without it as froglets?

old school back ground looks great. Super saturated (wet). Is that a good thing? No rot or mold issues? No foot rot on the animals? how often do you drain out the tank to remove extra water and keep it from flooding? I like the false bottom, but I didn't see a drain. What your trick? #TotsNewby

Look closer there’s a drain… tank is always draining, never backs up, a lot of the clips were taken after a fresh misting, the leaf litter dries out inbetween misting cycles. The tanks have good ventilation. No rot, no mold, no foot rot
