Hi guys - I got my new Exo planted this afternoon. I still need to add leaf litter, some gravel for the little pond and then give it a good misting. What does everyone think?

Very nice !
I really like your oil fern and brom placement.

If it was my tank I would take that tilli and put it upside down on your background and maybe get a creeping vine to crawl up the wood.

What specie do you have in mind for the tank?

I like it, it looks really well planned out and i love those broms.
Whats going in there?

Wow, looks great, will look even better as the plants grow in. Got an idea of what the inhabitants will be?

Edit: Ha! We all posted at the same time!

it looks awesome, except that i'm scared of the background if that's epiweb from the horror story. looks really nice though

Thanks very much guys!

I've already done a bit of renovating - thanks for the suggestion on the tilli Jeremiah! I think it will look awesome if it roots into the Epiweb and spiders down over everything.

Also, there is a little ficus ridii in the back right corner that I'm hoping will take off up the back wall.

I also placed my Peperomia prostrata in behind the broms there. I'm hoping it will get enough light to do well.

Here are some updated pics. I'm going to stop messing with it.....now....yeah. Now.

As always, comments are appreciated! Oh, and could a mod please add "pic heavy" or something similar to my thread title? I don't need people wigging out at me for too many pics! Thanks!

Cheers,
