that's one way to create a water-tight land area - have another glass tank - COOL! I like the way the whole tank comes together, very nice!
I am not quailfied to give pointers, I am a complete newbie in this but I have wild imagination and maybe a little skill in using my hands...
I really do not know, went to the nursery because its near my home and saw it, like it, bought it....
Coming from a Vivarium & Marine Champion, I am so touched and honored,...thank you
Can see a lot of hard work being put in.
I tore down my vivarium at least 3 times too! haha
thumbs up!
I keep sulawesi shrimps, tetras, birds, exotic pets, herptiles and monster fishes.
now I have this crazy idea of sticking up a background on the left side of the tank with pots so that I can have more land plants on the left...
Hi, kapitan
So sorry didn't involving for past few days...I got stuck in Islamabad with full of work craps ...
I must say again you never fail to amuse me with your creatively idea by using another glass tank to be the dry land.
I did notice you add some small rocks right below the glass tank, and you lay over the small rocks with (stainless steel mess?)before you overlay with some gravels or peat and soil. agree? I must say this is only a temporary drainage method but for the long ran, and you will have to pull it down again, reason is your bonsai doesn't like its feet get wet, and its roots will rot when the soil got soggy due to improper drainage. In due time, if you keep watering or either the water-fall will accidentally splash to the dry land for the period of time and eventually flood the whole thing again. I must say the method isn't a bad idea The only way is using a level indicator to determine the water-level within the dry land. Just minimize the watering the bonsai and keep another flora moist that surrounded the bonsai by using a humidifier that normally used for home.
Hope this will help you...for the period of time.
hello eddy, if the bonsai trees die on me, I will saw them off and leave the stumps planted and name the layout, Deforestation...... hahahhaaa.... I will be very careful when watering the plants and make doubly sure I be careful not to flood the dry land
made some minor changes..... added one reddish air plant and a red fern....
Aiyah... airplant cannot make it inside the tank - too high humidity - sure die one... needs air circulation - that's why the name air plant.
my tank is open top
How to create air circulation? opened top?

by means of a fan?
Its possible to put moss on the 'land area' to look like its draping down in to the 'river bank'. Will look more natural

yes, that's what I have been thinking... later today I will go to this place I found in Alexandra to look see... and maybe get to a LFS for some moss... may also pluck some land moss from the garden at the bottom of my block...
[QUOTE=mukyo;743667]too cool....camping now.
any fauna planned? crabs?
no fauna planned yet.... I am not allowed to keep frogs...... I need a cover for those fauna that will climb....
btw, just came from Hort Park, saw a paludarium there, a covered one, I saw a couple of tilly (air plant) in that tank. ... same like mine....
I left my vivarium running with black phantom tetras for a month or so before deciding to add my frog. Now my frog wants to eat my fish so i added floating plants to deter my frog.
So you can add some fishes for the time being

Dont have to go LFS, get from marketplace here, its cheaper. or you can try the ones at your block, free!yes, that's what I have been thinking... later today I will go to this place I found in Alexandra to look see... and maybe get to a LFS for some moss... may also pluck some land moss from the garden at the bottom of my block...
