[deranged chipmunk]

omg!! how freaking adorable!! i want one!!LOL

[Heatheranne]

Aren't they awesome? So unique .

[Heatheranne]

How's it coming, Amanda?

[NatureLady]

All is well. My internet isn't allowing me to upload photo's, but it is siliconed down, covered with weed guard, and I will start foaming tomorrow between laundry loads! I had to wait to start foaming until I could buy tubing for my filter. The poor guys at Lowe's were trying to sell me silicone not tubing...somehow their wires got crossed in my need for directions and cutting help. lol

[Heatheranne]

Lol!!!!

[deranged chipmunk]

Lowe's home of the people who can't use a measuring tape.....lol

[NatureLady]

I gave the dude a wtf look and said NOOOOOO I need tubing, silicone tubing not a tube of silicone. All the while my 2 year old was wearing her red and green stocking cap screaming (ok talking loudly) that he was HO HO (aka: Santa). I just dropped my evil stare and said "isn't she cute". But, it got super funny when he got the right size tubing onto the outflow of the filter and the fitting popped off. He thought he had broke it and started to get nervous, lol. I told him not to worry just cut the length I need and price it. He also thought the tubing should fit inside of the fitting. Obviously not the smart one. You want me to send him to your migrant work crew Bill????????? LMAO!

[deranged chipmunk]

Lol.....i will pass. And say what you want about migratory workers, but they do work hard!!

[deranged chipmunk]

so what time do we start foaming today? LOL

[NatureLady]

Ummm..yeah they are hard workers. But, we'll keep this topic off of FF. We don't want anyone to start ranting up my thread. lol

Amanda. I have a purple passion in one of my 40vert dart vivs stuck in a nook of the stump about 2/3 of the way down. Its doing pretty well for about 3months plus. Lower light will make it loose its purple shine. Make sure not to let it stay saturated where it is planted. and it should do ok. Mine has thrown alo of aerial roots. Not just from the base. Very cool little plant that adds a nice color. That background looks awsome btw.

[deranged chipmunk]

Well, it's about time you got something done.....lol it's gonna look awesome once it's planted. Don't worry about those touch ups, vines will grow over those spots.

Thanks Heather. I'm getting excited to see it finished.

Lowe's almost killed them and while I was away for a work trip I managed to kill them dead. lol. Yes I was gone and killed them. Talent. And thank you

I did the silicone portion of it today, because it has to be upright and out of work by Wednesday, and I noticed a few more spots that needed touch ups...What I didn't smear with the black silicone and more coco fiber I left alone. I do after all have a desire to finish this project once and for all.

OH...and our next expo is Feb 10th and guess who just confirmed that the breeder is bringing more mossy's...MEEE!!! So excited. I am going to try to pay for them so he will save them for me and I don't miss the chance to get them. I have turned the reptile expo into a family outing. My brother, his family, and mine are planning on making a day of the expo. lol <3

Me too!

The messy silicone step...I'm not looking forward to the step. I'm still debating silicone vs grout. Have you ever tried the grout method? I'm betting its looking great!

Ooh! I hope you find another mossy .

[NatureLady]

Drum rolllll...it is planted. No one is calling home just yet, but it is beautiful to look at.


I have replanted the aquatic section again....and may do it again before it is all said and done.

[deranged chipmunk]

that looks GREAT Amanda!! you did and awesome job, it looks killer. it will grow in very nicely. Love the 'shrooms!! hate the duckweed though, but it's your tank, you're the one with aquatic herpes now.....LOL

[deranged chipmunk]

and that last pic is my favorite picture. i love the view of the waterfall

[NatureLady]

ACTUALLY, that is the azola and when I purchased it was my favorite plant that I got. I hate it too!!! It had better turn purple and be lovely, but my hopes are not high. My mossy will be covered in it and that is what I hate.
