previously had vivarium thrice...
first and second time... mum nagged so had to decomp... : (
third time... cos of decomposed crickets, had worms in it, so decomp it cos looks disgusting
Yah boy, this is part of my worries.
Having all those pest, was wondering how the other guys manage to put their terrarium in good conditions. Pest free I meant.
Maybe with the help of those frogs / newts? Well my intention is strictly on flora & fauna only. Can advice any other ways of pest free terrarium?
Cheers

Hi guys,
from my past experience, its quite difficult to be pest free (ants, bugs, mites, worms, flies)... its part and parcel of an ecosystem... all I can say is we can only aim to have a balance ecosystem and not to eradicate any species be it pest or other flora/fauna... everything living thing has a reason to be on this earth
Sorry if I sound too philosophical... too much caffeine in my system

Ha... Ha... Ha...
Regarding this, I think I need a special license.
My family will throw me out when they find me breeding pest.
Thanks Desmond, you simply explain well.
Cheers

PS: I was thinking of placing the terrarium tank in my bedroom.

even with just fishes in the pond, you'll still find flies (most probably fruitflies) and some tiny worms or bugs on the land part, which is normal...

Hi Ray tan
You really have a beautiful fauna setup, I'm so privilege.
I must highlight you regarding to your beautiful orchid. Its not easy to keep orchid inside any palu/viva.Your orchid hate being very wet. If you happen to immerse its roots into the water or constantly wet, its roots will rot and you'll see all its flowers will gone for good within 2 days.
Another tips, if you can, mist lightly 2x a day, never add any compost soil to its roots (just leave the orchid roots bare), ensure its root stay out of the water and maintain RH of 80% inside your palu.
Please update us if you successfully grow your beautiful orchid inside your palu.
cheers

Hi Ray,
The tank you have there sure look great.
Hm... me still fighting if I should proceed with one. Thinking of all the pest that I may un-intentionally invite. And doubt that the special license BY MY FAMILY will be approved
. Ha... Ha... Ha...
However looking at all the setup in this forum sure make me.
Anyway keep up the good work love to see more picture of your set.
Cheers
Knight
hmmm i'm trying to see if it works... i had some charcoal at its roots
Try fern bark for your orchid's roots, charcoal being place inside palu isnt natural, lah.
