    lovely vivarium you got there, really like the way the whole thing is set on a gradient. Reminds me of a cliff

    Looks quite good. The sloping effect is well done.

    Cheers,
    I have dwarf cichlids in my tanks! Do you?

    You have good growth there, what materials did you use for the back panel? I have same issue with certain plants that just doesn't do well in vivarium, but those that remains normally takes off. From your other thread you have a misting system in there, what's the average temp?

    backgound is great stuff foam silicon wif peat moss and coco peat

    average time is about 28 c in the day and 26 at night...running a fan drawing air out for circulation.

    The setup look rather dry. You did not use any pump/misting?

    does it? my soil are wet 24/7.
    runing a osim i mist as misting system. fully automated. 15 mins 5 times a day. humidity at 60-70 during the day wif fan on and 85-95 at night when fans are off.but i have to say some parts under the fan tends to dry up real quick...still trying to find a solution for that. maybe misting system i reckon. but its too costly.
    anyfolks not how i can diy a cheap one.

    Thanks, Is there a need for fan? If you are using misting.
    As long you have some gap on top of your tank for air circulation, i think it fine.
    If you need to use fan, try to have the fan drawing the air out, rather than blowing in. And try to limit the air blowing to reduce lost of humidity.

    yup.my fans are blowing out..reason for fun i for better air circulation. with out it. white mould seem to grow very fast. with the fan on just in the day when the lights are on.i dun have the problem anymore.and it keeps the temp down also.. thanks for all the feedback and pointers guys.
