The 2" pots are great for the mini violet. In fact, you don't want to go bigger, it will suffer, but they are small for most other things. I would go with 3" or larger.

I already have 3 3", don't worry. Those are for anything really small I might have in the future. Plus, if worst comes to worse, I can take all three 3" out of my old tank as well.

Well, I went to Home Depot and picked up supplies:



Fiberglass screen, two pvc pipes for support and drainage, another foam spray and silicone, and a container for springtails.

I also found this random tillandsia surrounded by bromeliads in a purple owl pot, lol



And I found this unnamed "house plant" that looks surprisingly like pilea glauca

Getting a nice pile of supplies going Can't wait to see this tank as it moves along.

One tip for you. Dollar stores have a similar tub for springtails for well $1 they are not great for much else but perfect for culturing springs in them

Yeah, I saw the tub at Home Depot for the same price, and I was thinking, definitely worth it. Now all I need is some Brewer's Yeast from Walmart or Target, and some good charcoal. When my package from NEHERP comes in, I bet I'll wet myself from excitement, lol.
