Wow amazing setup.
Mind sharing where you got the back grounds? Looks great, never seen it before.
Thanks so much Merviso,
Your pictures have clearly explained what I need to know. Now I know and can go and build mine up. Thanks.

Hi cdckjn, do take note that my set up for the land will not be suitable for plants that needs their roots to be out of the water... But I personally do not like to use silicon inside my tank as it will be more troublesome to rescape next time... Even my backgrounds is not secured by silicon...
Hi fotoudavid, thanks! The brand is Juwel... Bought from Sam Yip at Marine Parade... The price is quite high actually... almost doubled the other brands, but it is definitely much better in quality and looks! There are various sizes and designs, and the piece I bought is 500x600 mm... The ones I used for this tank are the left over from my last project.
Thanks bro, really appreciated. Nice tank, enjoy.
Notice that the plants you use also mixed, i actually did search brlow my block, see got ant hardy plants or not.
No problem! It's more fun when there's more people doing it together...
I'm trying to play around with different plants too... maybe we can go to those places with streams or small ponds to collect....
bro great job , that day went to your house is half done up , it is already very nice , now fully done up , is even more nicer !keep it up
haha... Thanks! Hope it will not die on me...
Hey Merviso, I want to start something like yours, except that I need the tank to be open on all 4 sides, as I do not intend to have lights.

I want the "land" area to be more dry, but land with moss if also ok for me. Maybe I will plant venus flytraps and pitcher plants instead and have fishes and shrimps in the water area.
Any suggestions for me. Thanks.
hmmm i think should add a mist maker will be nicer and prevent the moss from dry offOriginally Posted by Merviso

cdckjn, one easy way to set up the land area, without using silicone, is to place another container (glass or ceramic) and put the soil inside. To make it look natural, you can coat the exterior with a layer of lapis sand or even build a moss wall around it.
For my water soaked land area, the most suitable will be aquatic and semi-aquatic plants... Cryptocoryne, HC and Downoi are a few examples. Venus flytraps and pitcher plants will not likely to survive water soaking their roots....
Haha... Elgin, this tank is really too small to warrant a mist system... I just spray a bit of water every night...
Bro, if you need the Singapore Moss just let me know, i got tons of that.
Bro, you poison me, hope i can own 1 after cnyNo problem! It's more fun when there's more people doing it together...
I'm trying to play around with different plants too... maybe we can go to those places with streams or small ponds to collect....but still no permit
