    Difficult to get rid of the reflection of the table...

    I am housing clown killies in the water area now. The intention is to have something else inhabit the terrestrial part later...

    Re: Good Luck Creek

    Thanks! I love the Marsilea...

    I took some pics on the set up process but somehow unable to download them from the phone as yet... Once they are out, I will upload them and share. Some hiccups when setting this up. A 'landslide' occured and so I have to do some last minute 'land reclaimation' and reduced the percentage of the water area.

    Should be expanded clay balls.

    I always see this in pots of fake plants, especially at the bank.

    Nice setup Thomas. I like the Marsilea too.

    Yup. Clay balls. Using it to prevent the soil from being too water logged...

    Will post the pics once they are downloaded from the phone.

    The large rocks gives the idea of the creek better. Nice. What livestock are in the tank?
