    Merviso,

    You can try humidifier , those mosses required stay moist at all time to grow nicely. As for my palu i located my mosses placed on the corkbark background and i did spraying water 3x a day, and this method still doesnt work very well. My beloved mosses turning from bright green to dull green that indicated me that my mosses are dehydrated and i installed mister system together with my Norita humidifier can let it ran for 10mins 3x day....mosses grew more fronds and turning bright green slowly again.
    cheers

    Re: Merviso's Vivarium updates 2010

    Happy Chinese New Year to all the bros! I had been cleaning and water changing all my 6 tanks yesterday and plus a rabbit cage! Lucky this vivarium is a new set up...

    Eddy, I observed that my moss are actually moist all the time. This is due to my rainbar hiding inside the moss on the top of the rocks, thus distributing the water down through the moss. My only concern is the Selaginella erythropus on the right back corner not getting enough moisture. BTW, my Singapore Moss is actually land moss, so I'm not worried about them..

    Hey Felix, haha... Welcome to the dark side! I just finished doing my room space optimisation program these few days.... and I'm already planning for another 4/5 ft tank to consolidate my tanks...

    Re: Merviso's Vivarium updates 2010

    Thanks dkk08, the photos are actually taken around the first few days of planting. They seems to be curling up recently, not sure if it is supposed to be like this. Think maybe it's the light or heat that is affecting.

    Here comes more videos:

    nice , that means there are hardy ones which withstand higher temperature , just to confirm this is C. orientalis ? as the skin appeared quite smooth

    Yes. But it will definitely be better for them if you can provide a lower temperature! This is one of my favorite photo of a previous set up.

    Hi Eddy,

    It's been a while since I last took photo on this vivarium....
    Unfortunately, I loss both my Newts during the last few months due to unknown sickness. The molding moss needed some attention too before I can start taking photo again.... *_*

    Hi Merv, I'm wondering with your vampire crabs tank with puddles of water around, would mosquitos be breeding in them?

    Hi cherabin, the mosquito lavas will not have any chance when the vampire crabs are around! They are very effective hunters!

    That is the same white undergravel filter plate as in the second photo. I just cut to size and spray it with black acrylic paint. Bought it from Aquastar at Yishun.

    Ah..I see! Thanks! So you just conceal it by tying the moss on it?
