Merviso's Mini Vivarium 2012

Nice. Would be better if you do a mini hydroponics design. Check out the newest indoor smart hydroponics garden devices for inspiration

Nicholas, hahaha, and it's already growing! The carrot tops is not cheap btw, 1kg of carrots with tops cost $19+, recently bought some for my bunnies and this is cut off to try growing them...

Madscientist, yeah, this is just a try out because I'm not sure whether they can make it in our hot temperature! I did tried to put inside my vivarium above under the dripping water, it was growing for first 2 days and then the carrot suddenly melted...

Cool man.. Good luck to you.. Dont be surprise Merviso appear in Aquarium Ads selling carrot with tops..

[madscientist]

Beauty of hydroponics is that you can use chilled water, haha

[Merviso]

haha... reborn4ever, I have never sold one aquatic item in buy/sell before ever since I joined this forum... Think carrot tops will be in higher demand from the bunny lovers anyway...

Madscientist, that's true... Maybe one day I will try!

Ok, This one is good. Carrot growing in viva.
Merv, able to grow herbs that way too?

[Merviso]

Haha... Felix, I'm going to grow some vegetables soon...

Interesting to see. This is something new to me and perhaps most of us here.

Hi Misery, this is an experiment to see if the carrot tops can be grown this way... The Christmas Moss, which is the remaining of what I bought for the vivarium above, is supposed to be the main focus...

The small Betta tank, background foam and Gex soil are all recycled from my 2 years old setup... Guess this is the good thing of not selling away old stuffs...

It looks bigger than it actually is ... nice!

[Merviso]

Thanks diggenem! My 2 Fire-bellied Toads are starting to tear down my plants...

[diggenem]

I used to have a group of them. They are very active, I loved them. I have a problem with my red claws eating my plants. Broms, azolla, even anubias are all fair game uh dinner to them lol.
