    Yeah, lucky kid. Btw, what's the height of the tank & cabinet? Can any kid reach the rim of the tank? Was afraid any itchy hand release a luohan into that tank!

    the tank is 2.5ft and the cabinet is 1m, high enough. I think the crickets wont be able to jump out too.

    Very nice, Roland...

    The similar-concept tank at Sungei Buloh Park is a dismay compared to yours. No one seems to maintain it. Wonder if it has been upgraded since I went there last year. Maybe you can approach them to offer your services?

    Juggler, i think its a different theme. The one in SB seems to be a brackish water one.

    Infact I'm in the middle of converting the 1.5 ft to another vivarium will post it together with the updated 1ft cube when I'm done.

    Doing a brackish water biotope will be challenging, don't you think do can try leh!

    hey dom,

    thanks for the compliment. You are actually the source of my inspiration! hahah.

    There is CO2 and even a Chiller, using a new porous gravel product.

    Roland-what's that plant with the red flowers on the driftwood branch, is that tied to the branch?

    no expert, just test out this type of set up. It'd look better with some nice and unique carpeting mosses and stuff.

    ken, not really sure about the name, i just get whatever hardy and as asian as possible.

    roland, does the water actually flow?

    Waahhh..... The setup looks FANTASTIC!!! Really appreciate it when you guys share your setup here. It inspires and gives us ideas when we're rescaping!

    I'm suprised a chiller and CO2 is used cos it looks like a low maintenance setup.
    Ever thought about adding a few red colour crabs into the vivarium?

    Choy, the water flows, and very well. For a 200-300L water volume, I have 2 x Eheim 2028 working on it!

    aquarius, this is a low maintenance but high tech vivarium la, got chiller, UV filters, co2, eheims, MH etc. Low maintenance just means you dont have to get your hands wet, dirty all the time. Changing Co2 once half a year not high maintenance, right? Red crabs will be nice, good idea!

    juilian, yeah, sure familiar to you. I bought them all from Eco Culture@Cichlid Forever mah. haha.
