    Attachment 41151 Carving is done! Now I need to paint the waterfall and cover the walls with silicone and coco fiber/peat moss. Still a little ways to go

    It's not supposed to be purple. It is probably the walls in here since they are purple, or the bad lighting in here. As far as plants, I have a creeping fig i am putting in the pot above the waterfall, and a pink cryptanthus going in the pot below. I have a snake plant that I want to put behind the branch. The right side is too boring but I don't know what to put there.

    You could go with a nice climbing vine on the right. Or, plant something like a wandering jew in the top pot and plant the fig low on the right and let it climb the wall. Or, you could attach some sort of epiphyte to the right side wall. Hmmm, maybe a climbing ivy on the right? Need some aquatic moss for the water feature? Oooooohhh.......let me know how moist the soil is next to the water feature is. If it gets fairly damp, i'll hook you up with a cryptocoryne zukalli. It's a bit rare in the aquatic trade, but i have a spare one in my bed bully's tank that just refuses to grow.

    It looks like a white-balance problem with your camera/pone. Auto-white balance can often go wonky under any kind of fluorescent lights and will especially be wonky if you have multiple light sources on of different colour temperatures.

    Did you try calling yourself. Looking forward to an updated picture.
