Welcome to the forum!

Start a thread in the vivarium section and ask away with any and all questions!

Hello and welcome to FF! Bills builds are particularly awesome, along with Paul (Digitalpunk) and the other Paul (Vivariums in the mist). I just hope I can be as good as them someday

Water feature are very challenging to get right in a vivarium . Each one has it's own advantages/disadvantages. False bottoms have the advantage of being lighter while drainage layers host way more bio-bacteria and other microfauna on it's surface .

Welcome to the forum . A nice false bottom is great for keeping your plants happy. Many of us also have our tanks drilled to a bottom side for easy access of excess water.

I did read that but I was thinking of just sucking it out with a small hand pump
