Potential Vivarium (Warning: Photo intensive thread)

[jeffteo]

When doing water change today, I noticed that my planted tank got the potential for a Vivarium. Sharing some photos for viewing pleasure.

PS: View it with a light heart as it is not intended to be a Vivarium.










Thanks for viewing

Cool idea. I have something like yours at home. But due tomy tank having soil in the tank, no my wife complains of the "earth" smell. So I am thinking of building something like your with the driftwood supporting the plants about the water with a spray to "water" those plants above water. I have some water plants that grow above water type.

The smell is nature. We should try to bring more nature in to help us relax in this fast pace world.
Shouldn't be too strong if the air circulation in the room is good.

I think with DW as support, there are more water below for the fish to swim. Too much artificial build up and the space for the fish becomes very limited.
Very curious how the effect is going to be when you have done it.

will take a picture, once I planted in the new plants which I hope to buy by today.
