Alright guys. New update on my viv and this update should take it up through a finished product. Also, I wont bug you much with too much explanation...Just short sentences and lots more photos.
Anyways, here we go.
After the silicone and coco fiber has cured, I brushed away the excess coco fiber leaving just the silicone with the fiber stuck to it.
Next, I needed a glass top so that I can keep humidity and frogs in the viv.
Moving on was to add substrate to the bottom. I just used left over stuff from previous vivs that left a layered look.
Add a thick layer of leaf litter.
Tested placement of some of the bromeliads.
Finished planting the viv, sprayed the holy heck out of everything and then added a 1.2.1 of R. Imitators.
Here's a bromeliad that I got at the new grocery store in town. I swear this thing holds a gallon of water! I hope the imitators like it!
And last but not least, when I was getting ready to transplant frogs into their new viv, I found a little surprise!
Now tonight after the new episode of Lost is over, I get to tear apart their old viv to search for eggs and tadpoles. Hopefully I can find some!
The best part of this viv is that I spent hardly no money on it at all. I think all in all, I only spent about $20 total on it because I had almost all of the supplies and plants laying around the house already.
I hope you guys like it!
-Matt
