David's 2ft failed and try again Vivarium

[fotoudavid]

Hi bros,

As do not wish to 'disturb' other bros thread, decided to start my own.

Just bought my back ground. Will be hunting for the tank. Will post and update any new items and queries, as my 1st time set up, need a lot guidance.

For plants wise, any exotic sellers in the west near say qian hu?

Bros, what soil you use for this set up? I was thinking using garden soil for the plants, and fine sand for the river, and using polyfoam to separate them.

well individual preferences, some of us swears by garden soil as they are natural, some of us swears by commercially available soil by GEX, ADA, JBL etc... so its a preference, I personally uses GEX mixed with Organic Compost...

garden soil from cold storage for both water and land.

For the water portion, cover the garden soil with one layer of lapis.

[fotoudavid]

thanks ddk08 and allover76, now more or less know what to do with the soil.....

[LauHau]

there is a shop in Balestier, nature or sometin, got sell alot of plant stuff there, been there once

[David Moses Heng]

Nature does mainly planted stuffs though they do sell a wide range of hardscape. For viva/terraium/palu needs, I would suggest woon leng or world farm as the brothers here pointed out. Sometimes, cheers and cold storage are also worth a look.

[fotoudavid]

I will visit woon leng.

Also, failed to get the tank, will look for it at qian hu and tropical again.
