Oh boy, i love it already...
Time to go back and revamp my newly-set-up-messy-vivarium.
Heh, the only reason it's call a vivarium is because it got rocks, got water, sand n soil. :X
Hey ya guys, was browsing though the tanks at C328 and found this tank with black silicon which measured 1ft for its width & breadth and 1.8ft for the height. Thickness is 6mm. Found it rather appealing as in aesthetic values and so i bought it. Wondering what to do with it, and in e end i decided to turn it into a vivarium but only thing for this was that i will be placing foreground plants in the water area as well.
Here is a look into the transformation....
Here's the unfinished look wif all the bare rockscapes that i carved out of black styrofoam.
And here is the intermediate stage, just pruning back the saligena ferns in shape hence the fallen leaves on the gravel.
And below is a few shots of the finished overall look but not yet included the water as well as the waterfall feature.
Last but not least a top angled shot of the scape.
I'll update ya guys as to when i've added the foreground plants and have the waterfall feature running.
Regards,
Phillip.

hey Ginger,
where do you get such a big block of styrofoam?
Ya can purchase such from C328. They have it in a standard size of 3ft x 1.5ft if i'm not mistaken.Originally Posted by Franz

Will it soften wif time?
Hi John, styrofoams in general are expanded plastics in lay man terms. They're long lasting and will not soften nor change in shape in time to come. Hope these will clear of any doubts ya should have in using styrofoams as one of the materials in vivarium construction.Originally Posted by johntan

Superb set up Ginger.
Just one thing, you mention Saligena Ferns. I think their genus name is Selaginella or otherwise called Filmy Ferns.
Fish.. Simply Irresistable
Back to Killies... slowly.
Beautiful setup. Where can I find this Saligena Fern? It really gives the vivarium the wabi-sabi look. Look forward to see a photo of the complete setup.
