I've been thinking about building a densely planted tank for a while now and I had an exo-terra tank standing in my greenhouse doing nothing at all...so thought I'ld give it a shot.
I'll post some pictures now and then showing progress as I'm not very satisfied how it looks right now...I'm waiting to bring in some more liana's where I can put some Neoregelia's on.
Maybe I should place some fernplates against the sideglass to.
Dimensions are: 60cm high 60cm width and 45cm deep.
My major interest in flora are ferns, so I used some of them.
Ferns used:
- Cheilanthes pilosa
- Hemionitis palmata
- Microgramma lycopodioides
- Pyrrosia lanceolata
- Pyrrosia nummulariifolia
The backside is fernplate with some Vesicularia dubyana (Javamoss)
I have Neoregelia lilliputiana, Neoregelia ampullacea, Begonia schultzei waiting to be put in.
Greetings
(apparently imageshack flips vertical pictures back horizontaly...you guys will have to turn your heads a bit)
Looking good Kenny. Neoregelia's would certainly bring in some colour. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks
Today I changed/added some things a bit... Now I just have to wait for the Neoregelia's and the Begonia to be inserted. I think that will do for now.![]()
Added some Bromelia, let the growing begin:

in the meanwhile there's Ranitomeya imitator 'Chazuta' breeding in it..found some larvae in the Bromelia's, plants are doing good.

Beautiful,great job
Very nice Kenny. You've got to enter it into the montly tank contest.
Hi Kenny
You obviously have a "green thumb" .
This looks unbelievably beautiful!
What is the frilly looking (fern type plant)in the lower R hand corner in this enclosure?
Thanks , Lynn
