My first real viv! : )

[Heatheranne]

Well, got the philodendron. It's big. A little too big. I'm going to clip it back and see if it lives. Probably not, but the leaves are so nice and heavy...if it does they'll love it.

Thanks! So sweet of you . I think I'm okay for now. I'm going to play around with the back wall and see what I'd like to do before I get more.

I need to break out the sketch book
.

[Badger]

Alrighty, lemme know if you need any later. Have fun planning haha, It gets frustrating when nothing works as planned :P

[Heatheranne]

Thanks! So true. I just want it to be closer to done so I can put my babies in. But, it's also been fun, too .

I'll likely put them in before the waterfall is done. That'll take a good few days in itself to finish up. Lots of layers to dry in between.

[Badger]

I just finished my waterfall, finally :P

[Heatheranne]

Nice. How'd it turn out?

[Badger]

Pretty good, not as amazing as I hoped, but it's my first time. I think the background overall came out great though :P It's on the thread if ya wanna take a peak. If you're still looking for plants you can check black jungle for some, they have a huge selection.

[Heatheranne]

I'll peek at your thread. I bet it looks great.

This is my first vivarium also. Stickers is currently in a terrarium. It's in my pictures.

So you going with the false bottom. I see you only used the crate . Did you use plastic ties to connect them. Its coming very nicely.

[Heatheranne]

Yeah, I think so. I think I'll put mesh screen, gravel, coco fiber and maybe some live moss (not loose).

[Heatheranne]

In layers, I mean.

[Heatheranne]

Sewing the mesh on the eggcrate...

[Heatheranne]

Ph tested the water with a piece of mesh soaked in it to be safe.

Then boiling the aquarium gravel. Level it in.

[Heatheranne]

Added some sphagnum peat moss for the plants.

[Heatheranne]

Play with the plant positioning around the soon-to-be waterfall.
