No worries. Any questions just ask. KJ is really good with the PDF's also. The basics are the food though, get that right and the rest is easy.
Otherwise, keep the temps mid 70's making sure to stay below 80. And keep the humidity up high. Liveplants really help with this.

That mesh looks a bit big, is that going to stop fruit flies and stuff escaping? I used 0.4mm mesh for mine which is small enough to keep Springtails inside.

Also just wondering, I've never seen PDF vivs with the lights on the inside, they are usually above the glass, high humidity could be a problem, and frogs jumping onto the lamp.

Nice looking Azureus though. I'm getting my first frogs in a couple of weeks now my viv planting is established, was thinking about Azureus but I'll probably go with Leucs, may depend what's available at the time though!

Where did you get them BTW?

They don't need a UV, just a daylight striplight to provide light for the plants and a little heat, I have two T5 daylight tubes with a reflector in my lighting hood, they are above the acrylic tank top.

Are you a member of a dartfrog forum yet? If not try www.dendroworld.co.uk, loads of friendly and very experienced dartfrog keepers and all the advice you'll need.
