50 Gallon - Progress

We're going to equip them with ankle bracelets.

As for the creeping fig, yes, it's doing really nicely in the 29G. Not out of hands though. I'm really happy that the oak leaf fig is also doing great.

I should tell you guys that I am not manual, not at all. There's a chance a hammer will break when I hold one. And last time I tried putting up a picture on the wall, I did 7 holes. I kid you not. These are real achievements for me. Whenever I start one, Sara cringes. Will the screwdriver rust in my hands? Will the viv spontaneously combust? I'm very proud of mine. My best bet is to build ones that will develop with time.

I have another empty one which I should start in a few months... See if I can manage not to break that one too...!

Hi Grrrit! It's an Alocasia Polly (Alocasia amazonica) commonly known as African Mask. Thanks, Grrrit!

I bought three Exo-Terra circulation pump for the waterfall system. All three can't do the job, and are very noisy. I have some aquarium filters and one of them runs silently and pushes the water to the needed height. It took a bit of silicone and some patching, but seems like it will do...

Was it the 200 pump?

Was it the 200 pump?

I bought the 200/250/350. The 200 was cute, barely any water coming out. The 350 did work, but the noise it made was just not realistic.

Do you know any other trick? Thank God for the filter I had...
