I've always built my own aquarium stands so I've just been doing that for my frogs too. I'm getting rid of my last Reef tank cuz I recently had a son and I can't keep up on my Reefs anymore, who woulda thunk babies need so much damn attention! 😁 So my frog collection has grown quite a bit, much easier to care for and it's a lot like Reefing when it comes to scaping with all live plants and animals and clean up crews. I'd probably get these racks too but I'm pretty broke. Love what the room has become Troy and these Highland Seriensis I got from you are doing amazing 👍🏼 Good look bro!

Sorry for the unrelated question (to this video), but I'm at quite a loss. How the hell do you make moss grow? I built my first terrarium about 2 years ago, and most is going great. Almost all plants are doing great, bromelias are producing a lot of offspring, even most orchids are fine. But I just can't get moss to grow. I used local and tropical, seeds and patches... the seeds worked fine in the beginning, but after creating a beautiful peice of moss, went black and died down. The patches either die or, if I'm lucky, survive, but never grow. (again, in 2 years...) What is the secret of moss growth?
