will there be any mould issue? if yes, how did you combat that?
Hi tarzanboy, I got it from hortpark at the garden bazaar.. this sat and sun the bazaar is still on, but no guarantee if there are any mini orchid left. But you could still visit the place if you are into gardening, there are many plants for sale there by gardening enthusiasts.
will there be any mould issue? if yes, how did you combat that?
Mould means warm temp and high humidity, this usually happens when theres no exchange of air, if im right

Hi fireblade, yes initially there was some mold growth on the driftwood, but I think it is just a natural process of decay that will go away after some time. But agree with TheAquarist too, if there is no air circulation and it is too warm and wet, it could favor mold growth instead of moss.
However, even if we could prevent the growth of mold with some subtance that is anti-fungal (eg. tea tree oil? but never tried before), moss would still not grow well because it is too hot.
Hi bro, saw that you used acrylic cover for your tank. Is the cover fully sealed?
Hi bro, nope it's not sealed at all... the acrylic cover i have is too short, so I extend it using plastic sheet.
I think my frog escaped about 3 times last time from the tank
I intend to DIY a proper hood with some wood from daiso, but currently still no time to do it yet...
Question, how does the substrate NOT fall in the mesh when u first started out?

Hi gorilla, any updates? I read that you seeded your soil with springtails. Where did you get them? Also, do you feed your frog crickets daily?
Hi Cardinal Tetra, not much changes to the tank, still looked the same now, so won't post updates yet.
The springtails I got them in the wild too you can find them under damp leaf litter... but there are other insects in the leaf litter too, so this is if you don't mind some other insects... The springtails multiple quite fast when the conditions are right. In fact, springtails are everywhere. You can even find some in your home.. although there are many different species at different locations.
Very nice growth. The Bolbitis are ok grown outside of water? Where do you get the wire vine from...nice leaf shape and color.
Hi gorilla, hope you're still around. I've just updated my thread. Time to update yours.
Interested to see how your tank is doing.
Hi Cardinal Tetra, yea still around Recently have been busy and have been neglecting my tank. Also, I am tired of topping up my tank with water every 1-2 days. My frog also died a few months ago too
So I decided to let the tank die off and change it into a scape without water in future.
Here's how my tank looks like now, just took the photo...
I turned off the fan and water pump 2 days ago... so there are some condensation on the glass and the moss wall is slowly drying off...
Will start a new scape when I have more time
Thanks for the update. Hate to see your setup go, especially the moss walls. I suppose the air plants didnt make it? Also, what is the black mesh for? The picture looks like a scene in a nature broadwalk!
Where did you get the spring tails from?
