    got my allowance from my boss yesterday and went shopping today at the hydroponics store!! i could have spent my entire allowance there! lookie at what i bought:



    got me a pump, some plant pots and a buttload of fittings to make myself a rain system. maybe that will be a diy project thread....diy misting system. maybe i should see if it works first. hopefully an update will soon follow.

    Note: i did not purchase the cup o' joe at the hydroponics store. that was at home away from home #2...lol

    I see, there is a website called stotmthecastle.com and the guy who does it calls himself the planted tank guy. Anyway I have actually used 95% of them, in down to just 3 10g and the screen ones. I NEED MORE

    ok, update time!! after i did the water testing, reconfigured a few things, and designed a rain system (more on that one in a later post), i got my equipment secured, terrestrial areas wrapped in weekblocker and got ready for some foam:



    yes, that is a reflection of me and my 75g planted in the one pic. hey, i never claimed to be a photographer....lol

    after that, i started foaming. then added a few pots for plants, and foamed some more. i will let this cure over night and then i should be able to complete the foaming tomorrow night. the easy part is done for mow.



    sorry there's not more. building a rain system was a bit more tricky than i expected, and still has to be completed, that will be in the next few updates.
