    Default My Pacman Viv,

    Here's what my Pacman VIv has turned out to be. I have it growing and just added the Brom in the front today. I did have an aquafer. flowing through the drainage layer and being pumped up behind the background and flowing down it, but for some reason the substrate kept becoming overly wet even with the wafer flowing back into the drainage layer. I tore the whole thing down 3 times trying to figure out what was going on with no luck. So I pumped the aquafer water out and am leaving it as just a drainage layer.

    I'll. try and get the build log up soon.

    I don't know a ton on Pacs as you know and wonder how the roots will work out with a Pacman. Will the Pac dig in under the roots?

    As a matter of fact YES. She will dig them up. I will probably block the roots off with cork bark round pieces. I figure she will more than likely burrow beneath them rather than right beside them. neither of mine burrow right next to their fake plants so they will probably do the same with live plants.

    I'm far from an expert though so we will see .

    Yeah the one in the back dead center. it hasn't turned as red as I had hoped it would, but it looks nice. the one in the front that is really red in the center of the plant I actually got at the Kroger at Cherry Grove right down the road from me.

    This one started from the center which is kind of weird considering that the ends of some of the larger leaves were all ready becoming red when I bought it.
