Default REVAMPED vivarium

Hi pple,

wah looks like more and more people are falling in love with vivariums!!!
anyway taken out my bird's nest fern and replaced with mosses!!!
all the mosses are doing fine, and today added a piese of wild orchid, attached to the drift wood with fishing line. Next week is my term break so finally got time to do up the tank for my FBT, so stay tuned

My table, with 2 tillandsias and a bromeliad

thanks for the comment, i maintain the humidity using a piece of acrylic taken from Bro ginger. give a bit of ventilation if not the misted tank sides would prevent the sunlight from getting in.

hi Dom, is your nano tank covered, for mine i mist using a spray twice a day also, but if its covered once a day will do also, best if its the substrate beneatht the mosses are wet, for me, as i highlighted are the ones on the driftwood which dry up fast,

1) one way as Bro ginger recommended me to do was to put some soil between the mosses and the driftwood (retains moisture longer)

2) the hard way of misting regularly loh


bro desmond, tot u also setting up new tank??? (as in vivarium, saw ur planted also, darn natural looking)

bro reddot, i am a busy student u noe
haha

Hi Fuse,
My nano can't hv a cover. due to the drift woods which i get in...are too long. that's why i hv to spray twice per day. Currently the tank still in my living place. Gonna bring it to office tomorrow. At least can get 24 hours air con.

I was thinking,hw do u prevent the soil from being too moist,thus causing the roots to rot?There isnt any holes for excess water to drain out right?
