    I cleaned and sterlized the plastic containers that came with some of the plants from the Nursery since a few of the plants that I had were a little big for the standard 2" planters used in the GS backgrounds.

    Yeah I am hoping I do not run into that anytime soon. But the main pot is about 6" wide and 6" tall so it left a lot of room to grow............for now.

    Thats why I used the plactic pots, the size of pots I wanted the weight would have been unreal if I used Clay. I wanted to make sure that I had the room for growth since I did not use real small plants. I also made it to where I can slide a pre-planted pot in and out of the slots in the wall so I can change the plants out fairly easy if I need to, so I had to get 2 of every pot I was planning on using.

    Thanks Lynn, it was a struggle after I broke it with the ladder. There was only supposed to be one GS wall in there but the incident caused there to be 2 GS walls. Now that it is said and done I like it. It is not as good as I had hoped intially but after the break I lowered my expectations, and I exceeded those so over all I am happy. The more and more of these GS walls I do I learn a little more. The next one I plan on having a waterfall in. That will be the upgrade that my Cobalt Tincs get in the next 6 months (give or take for planning).

    Looks great! I really like the two GS walls, even if you had to break the tank to get there.
