I am still here and lurk a few times a week. I haven't posted in a long time due to a lot of reasons one of them being we are stuck with dial up until we can afford to have satilite installed and the connection is so slow and drives me nuts.
We are still fighting the moving company to have my frog tank replaced. The plants have survived real nicely though. I have even added a few plants to the plexiglass container I am keeping them in. I bought two grow lights and keep them on most of the day into the night. I hand spritz it once to twice a day. I am still getting the hang of the spritzing part....the new house is kept warm by wood and soon charcoal which is really dry.
I have gotten 11 babies off of the one brom I had. Five of them are really tiny so I planted them in a small plant container which brings them closer to the lights. I am hoping that they survive. I bought another brom and that one also has some babies on it. The one plant that I thought died because it lost all its foliage when I put it in the tank came back really nicely... I am so glad that I didn't throw it out like I was going to. Even the coco huts I placed in with the plants are starting to have some kind of green growth on them it is so cool! I have run out of room for any new plants. I will have to buy a separte container if I get anymore. The nice thing is that once I do get the new tank I will have plenty of nice plants to put in it.
I have so many new ideas for the next tank and even though I was mad that the one I had broke I am kinda glad that it did...becasue the second time around is always better!!
Patty your 180 tank looks awesome!!! Talk to you guys later

I'm glad you stopped by, Hedder. The plant information you gave is currently pertinent to other discussions.

What happened with the dial-up? Planned obsolescence? Mine finally simply didn't work at all over half the time. It couldn't make connections. I was fortunate, that even in the boonies as I am, I could connect to a DSL, or whatever it's called. It's more expensive, but all in all, this kind of communication is awesome to me. I grew up without a telephone or electricity for a good part of my very early years--or an indoor toilet, for that matter. Communication was by letters taken to a town 12 miles away about twice a month. Now I get pissed off if the computer doesn't give instant satisfaction within seconds. Are we spoiled, or what??

Yes I guess we are a bit spoiled. The dial up works it just takes forever and I get frustrated waiting a million years for the pages to download. There is no dsl connection up here. So I have to get sattlite. I have got to run for now, dinner is ready.
