Natural Vivarium

Okay so I added a branch for them and rearranged a few of the plants a little bit

the front needs sorting out and the things rearranging a little bit more but that can be done at a later date when it's not almost 11pm here.

Also I'm planning on getting a Magnaturals next month to go in that space on the left hand side of the viv, which is when I'll probably shift as many things as possible to make it a bit neater. But the photo makes it look a whole lot messier than it actually is, which is annoying.

It looks good! Once you get your magnaturals, if you are moving stuff again, I read somewhere about a rule of thirds.. Divide the tank into thirds or something like that. I am sure one of the experts on here can point you in the right direction. There is some amazing info on the terrarium build forum.

Looking good. The main rule I follow when laying a tank out is to have something (a piece of wood, a plant, a rock... something) that will be the main feature in the tank. Position that piece so it is off center. When someone looks at the tank their eyes are drawn to that one thing right away and it causes the tank as a whole to feel more natural and flow better

Thank you all for the advice, it's my first proper live plant set up so it's all a learning curve for me, but I like it a lot better than the fake plants now. I can't ever go back :P
It's a shame that the pictures don't do it justice, they make it look smaller and more crowded than it is.
