Exoterra Vivarium

[kaganesti]

Just want to share and track the progress of my small vivarium here

Just set it up and planted the plants. Now is to mainly wait for them to mature and hopefully my itchy hands will not go disturb them.
As the water body is quite small, so probably will not add any fauna inside. Hopefully won't breed mosquitoes

Do feel free to comment if any.

Look nice bro... Once the moss mature will look wild... Maybe u can add few tetra like maybe 5 to make it more natural to have fish in... What you plan to keep inside...

[David Moses Heng]

Nicely done. Any pump inside to keep the water moving?

[cdckjn]

if there is a pump and some fishes there will be no mosquitos, as mosquitos need still water, a small bottle-capful is enough for them to breed.

A noob question..how to secure the plants like nana to the wood ah?

[Twigster]

It's okay, i asked many many noob questions too. Using string or fishing line (finer the better) to tie.

[archenemy]

I know moss can use fishing line to tie..

But does it apply to plants like nana as well?

Now I understand how your new Vivarium look like! Its a beautiful creative set up! I love it. Keep it up that way!

If you want to add Nanas to tied on your wood and you must provide a consistent water flow on flora. Okay my advise if you like, Use a clear acrylic sheet measure on the same size of your exxco terra tank. Drill 2mm diameter holes on the acrylic sheet in about 8 to 10 randomly locations as possible. Place and seal with clear silicon to the drilled sheet on top below the lighting system. Use flexible hose or pipe to the sheet and allow the water flow from the canister into the sheet and you will create like rain dropping consistently . Your Nanas and other flora will be most happy with that.

But you need to do away with your air-plant or it will start to rot in a week time.

hope this will help you.

The Spanish moss on the right side as well as the air plant will not like to be contiunously wet.
