I decided to do a simplish fbt set-up to save on money right now. It's a standard 29 gal tank. since they don't like deep water I had the divider made 6 inches tall. I would of liked to do a more natural set up like the tanks all you guys have, but that will be for another day.

Anyway, do fbts like 50/50 land and water or?? (I have a repo filter for the water part and might make a water fall) Since the land part will have plants I don't want to get root rot, so could I do a false bottom type thing? Only with gravel instead of egg crate, to keep costs low?? Does the water evaporate out of the gravel or is there someway to siphon it out or? Also what kind of live moss should I use? One more, what type of substrate for the plants? Could I just use peat from the big bales? I use it in my tarantula enclosure if I'm out of coco fiber. If I do a back ground, like cocofiber will it be removable if I want to use the tank for fish again someday? Thanks a ton!
