Terrarium setup

[Sunshine]

Not the paper kind. It is a fabric, usually black. >I can never find it here this time of year though so I use window screen.

Thank you so much! I will check it out at Lowes today. I feel like they would still have some as it has not started snowing yet in my area.

They carry it year round, you just gotta know where to look for it

thats what I thought. Especially in my area where landscaping is huge. I will check it out when I am driving around today.

So I went to BOTH Lowes and Home Depot and neither of which had LECA. Disappointment...

I guess I will have to buy it online as well as the landscaping fabric. Thank you all so much!

well, neither lowes nor home depot sell leca. you need to go to petsmart or petco and buy hydroballs, or a hydroponics shop and ask for hydroton. both chain stores keep their landscaping fabric outside in the garden center once the cooler temps come in.

I went to Petco earlier today and they didn't have anything like what I was asking for. Perhaps because I did not specifically ask for Hydroballs. After glancing through there reptile/amphibian isle, I was unable to see anything either so I do not believe they have it in stock. I will check again tomorrow, but if I am unable to find it, I am ordering online.

I have old screen that my girlfriend and I used on a project last year so I will probably use that rather than purchase landscaping fabric that I wont use 90% of.

One more thing I am thinking about getting is the Aquarium airline for syphoning the water out from the bottom as well. What would I use to syphon it out with because I want to avoid using my mouth? Blech!

Thank you all so much for your help!!
