Thanks for sharing your info and experience! My setup is uninspiring at best (one pothos, one fern in a 10 gal tank; the only substrate is large gravel because I got paranoid about him eating the moss and coco fiber not long ago and tore the whole tank apart to get every tiny scrap out. He has a slate island in his 'pond' that is about 5" long he likes to sit on from time to time)

I wonder if that heater will work... I have only about 1.5gal of water in a 10 gallon tank, so I fear I might boil the little guy. :\

Thanks for sharing pics of your setup! It gives me a lot of hope that I can make something similar!!
