P.S. you ivy is growing fast as I have had mine for like 6 months and it hasn't spread that far. I am definitely gonna steal a few ideas for my next viv, again great job
    the background is celotex with the left wall submerged and the pool wall/ramp/floor is expanding foam which was cured, cut to shape and grouted. yes then all the pool area coated in the pond sealant inc the cascade area. the rest of the background is just the paint job. only water loss is from evaporation only so not really noticable here. the filter(zoomed 501) is on a little ledge behind the curtain placed at mid height of the tank as seen in the "IN-SITU PIC". i have had this ivy a long time in the setup so i would not worry too much about yours taking it's time growing. again, take any inspiration you want from this project.

    thanks for the praise

    MICRO-FAUNA: as stated in earlier posts about collecting native moss for the abode and recommending for other peoples setups here are some videos of said subject that MAY be of interest to some. the benefits of this natural scenario is that the critters perform a clean up duty from the toads waste and dead livefood, some become food for the toads and, for me anyway, another interesting feature of the abode. I have here now a well established mini-ecosystem . the following videos are not exactly professional but they are only short and you may catch a glimpse of a few different mini critters in there when the camera decides to focus.
