    Second step

    Spray the egg crate with expanded foam. Attach the rock on the top left hand side to let the water flow down like a waterfall..

    Re: Vivariums

    Hey Marcus

    Wow, that very creative way you put the flat slabs to the foam to create a waterfall!!
    Mind share with me what adhesive do you use for bonding the coconut's crisps to the foam wall?

    your thoughts please..
    cheers

    Re: Vivariums

    think you should remove the moss from the waterfall , they look nicely stack up , cover by moss cant see the flow

    Do I need to check for anything to see if it is aquarium safe?

    Hi avant

    I can see that you are soon to built palu/viva project real soon.

    Just point us what materials do you like to be built...background or land? I'll able to give you some pointers if you like.

    let me know your thoughts
    cheers

    Re: Vivariums

    Eddy,
    Yup. Considering a paludarium setup at my new place but the area is a bit tight as I can only have it at the service yard. I will still sourcing for some design ideas to see whether it is feasible.
    I am considering doing a slim profile river bed set up with a small portion of land and/or vertical garden area. Maybe once i have the rough designs, i would share them with you so that you can provide your expert advice!

    Re: Vivariums

    reborn4ever, think the picture was either removed or moved to another location at the photobucket server which you have upload. You may like to log into your account and check them.
