1st Vivarium

[albert]

After much inspired by all the beautiful tanks, I decided to venture into it. This is the first vivarium I had created. It's 2 weeks old and still have much room for improvements.

Nice, Albert! Btw, what are you using as the cover?

[albert]

Currently I am not using any cover. However, I have cut out a fitting cover made of acrylic "mesh". The acrylic "mesh" is bought from C328.

Do you use a filter to maintain the water conditions?

Looks good, I look forward to seeing another picture. I presume the picture is from the side rather from the front?

[Justikanz]

I am thinking of using that too for my tank... But I am thinking of using wire mesh as I will be adding small frogs to my vivarium... But dunno where to find...

Btw, what is the moss-like plant? Also, how is the lighting like?

Nice Albert .

[albert]

Thanks for all the compliments. The pics is actually taken from the front

There is a pump running at the back to create a waterfall effect. However, it did not actually turn out to be what I wanted it to be. I use natural light in the day and supplement is with 11w PL in the night when I am at home. No fixed timing though. This tank is on my study table and the lights are orginally my study lights.

I am using Taiwan moss to cover the bogwood.

Nice , do you get algae problems with natural sunlight?

[albert]

I did considered about algae problem when I am designing for this tank. However, the location of the tank does not receive intense sunlight and I reckon algae problem in vivarium is not as undesirable as aquarium. i.e. Algae on the wood makes it looks more natural.
