[chiaki23]

hmmm notice there is growing number of people doing vivariums nowaday...here is my first try on them hope you people like it..

please feel free to comment...


tanks...exo terra 45 x45 x60
lighting 18 watt PL
erm...thats all

[chiaki23]

some more....sorry pictures were taken on my lousy web cam.. will post some more proper pictures if needed

this is a fully automated system... no need misting by hand

yes that is an osim U-mist....the plants have a much better life then me

just a normal U-mist with a tube into the tank..

misting time is 4 times a day for 15 minutes each..

still waiting for some of the plants to grow in properly and also hopefull could get my hand on some nice plants to grow on the drift wood in the center...maybe some wild orchids.....thanks...

Chiaki23, thank you for sharing. Your vivarium is very nice, indeed.

However, we will appreciate if you do not post in sms language. Your posts need to be editted heavily to better facilitate reading. As a guideline, 'tat', 'mi', 'wif' etc are not the proper spellings of words and 'u' is a letter, not a word. Also please avoid mis-spelling words purposely, such as 'goin', 'doin'... Thank you.

nice nice, how long do you take to setup the tank ?

[Corleone]

Let me answer for my bro, all in all he took 2 weeks to get the stuff needed and 3-4 days to do up the vivarium.

[chiaki23]

yup..

corleong is right.took me about 3-4 days.will post and update soon.some plants did not make it cause i am trying to get the misting timing right. takes alot of try and error. have added new plants too.will take updated shots wheni get a hold of a decent camera.

Actually i did think of using the umist for my tanks... looks like you proved to me it works!! yay!! The only problem is that i can't find it now.. where did you get yours?

[Corleone]

Jus, its actually available at most places, you can try IMM Best Denki, they were having it on offer a few weeks back at 100+ i think. can go try your luck there.

[ranmasatome]

i tried vivo city today.. they said its sold out island wide... OMG!! should have bought it earlier when i saw it..

[Corleone]

island wide! OMG!

[chiaki23]

actually any COOL mist mister will do...but i use umist because the outlet is easier to connect to a tube.but its not as good as a sprinkle system...saw one at petmart but it cause 400 plus...am now think of importing on from oversea..maybe a mistking system...

[ranmasatome]

actually at som garden depots.. you can make one on your own for about 200.. all inclusive..

[garythay]

Nice setup. Thanks for sharing.
