    [QUOTE=fotoudavid;522170]where to buy peat?? giant or daiso should have sell right??[/QUOTE

    giant have... bought it from there... horti moss-actually from description it's decomposed sphagnum moss... so think it should be beneficial. anyway i also have exo terra forest moss, not sure if it could be revived... but at least it can hold some water and retain humidity.

    hmmm read that it's better to let silicon to cure, should be fully cured by 48 hours... so gonna be patient for at least 3 days before i let the water run.

    custom made tank, so had all the dimensions, realise abit too high and only left with 3" gap, so gonna be difficult to reach to bottom of tank...
    yes think i did mention that i gonna have moss/fissiden and narrow java fern to cover that. moss will grow faster so.... maybe will use it!

    when you want to go World Farm?

    have you tried VFT(venus fly trap) before? To me they're not easy especially when they've to go through a dormant period... I've tried like 5-6 times and everytime sure fail... only have good success with Nepenthes... or you can try Drosera if you're into CPs (Carnivorous Plants)

    Re: New Vivarium Setup

    after all the hassle yesterday to get the water up... got a submersible pump to pump up the water to the small canister filter so that the "octopus" is able to distribute the water....'
    and fogger should be arriving within these 2 days as status showed that jus arrived s'pore in late afternoon....

    added java moss, peacock moss, fissiden and hc to parts of it.

    here's some of the pics... will add more plants again.

    Re: New Vivarium Setup

    Looking good Raymond, how about adding a bromeliad as the centre piece or some redish plants to give it a fuller look? Alternatively Tilandsias at the top would look good too (there's a pushcart selling tons of tillandsias at Century Square now and their prices are very reasonable)
