    Hi tarzanboy, I got it from hortpark at the garden bazaar.. this sat and sun the bazaar is still on, but no guarantee if there are any mini orchid left. But you could still visit the place if you are into gardening, there are many plants for sale there by gardening enthusiasts.

    Mould means warm temp and high humidity, this usually happens when theres no exchange of air, if im right

    Hi fireblade, yes initially there was some mold growth on the driftwood, but I think it is just a natural process of decay that will go away after some time. But agree with TheAquarist too, if there is no air circulation and it is too warm and wet, it could favor mold growth instead of moss.

    However, even if we could prevent the growth of mold with some subtance that is anti-fungal (eg. tea tree oil? but never tried before), moss would still not grow well because it is too hot.

    Hi bro, saw that you used acrylic cover for your tank. Is the cover fully sealed?

    Hi bro, nope it's not sealed at all... the acrylic cover i have is too short, so I extend it using plastic sheet.

    I think my frog escaped about 3 times last time from the tank

    I intend to DIY a proper hood with some wood from daiso, but currently still no time to do it yet...

    Hi TheAquarist, there is an additional super-fine mesh layer, so the substrate can't fall through the mesh

    Hi gorilla, any updates? I read that you seeded your soil with springtails. Where did you get them? Also, do you feed your frog crickets daily?

    Hi Cardinal Tetra, not much changes to the tank, still looked the same now, so won't post updates yet.

    The springtails I got them in the wild too you can find them under damp leaf litter... but there are other insects in the leaf litter too, so this is if you don't mind some other insects... The springtails multiple quite fast when the conditions are right. In fact, springtails are everywhere. You can even find some in your home.. although there are many different species at different locations.

    Thank you Goalkeeper Yes, I think the Bolbitis can grows in very humid and cool environment, it is not a aquatic plant if I am not wrong.
    The wire vine I can't rem where I got it, I think some local nursery sells it.

    Hi Cardinal Tetra, yea still around Recently have been busy and have been neglecting my tank. Also, I am tired of topping up my tank with water every 1-2 days. My frog also died a few months ago too

    So I decided to let the tank die off and change it into a scape without water in future.

    Here's how my tank looks like now, just took the photo...

    I turned off the fan and water pump 2 days ago... so there are some condensation on the glass and the moss wall is slowly drying off...

    Will start a new scape when I have more time

    Thanks for the update. Hate to see your setup go, especially the moss walls. I suppose the air plants didnt make it? Also, what is the black mesh for? The picture looks like a scene in a nature broadwalk!

    You mean the mini orchids? Yes, still alive, but it's not in the picture because I removed the plastic cover and the plants are hanging on the cover.

    The black mesh platform I used it previously to place some humid loving plants

    Hi Greyc, i got it in the wild under some decomposing wood in the forest. After that they sort of multiplied in the tank afterwards.

    There are many different kinds of springtails and you can find them almost everywhere, even in some parts of your home
