no, sorry i dont know it. It's been years since I got that stump on eBay

heres pics of it when I first got it

FRONT

BOTTOM

the hole that you see in my vert now is around the back of the stump, which goes all the way through the bottom of it. It's pretty neat

Very awesome. I have six 40 breeder verts to finish soon and I love the inspiration. I was going to do 3 sides covered on each, but am opting for just one since I have so many to do. Once again, excellent stuff!

thanks, man! post up some pics when you're done with them. I wish I had more room for more tanks. These 40gal breeder tanks are like the perfect dimensions for a viv. try doing a few of them 3 sided, some 2 or whatever. Just dont rush the job, you'll regret it later on.

a little update:

I replaced the old mist nozzles that I reused from the old Paludarium because they werent spraying right. Probably got clogged up. Oh well, they were cheap anyway. So I went to ace hardware and found some nice brass mist nozzles. I got 4 of them for only $7-8...not bad

Oh and also I noticed a plant growing out of the cork bark so I took a picture of it. I have no clue what plant it is. Sorry for the unclear pics, the camera was having a hard time trying to focus on this tiny leaf.

Does anyone have any idea what it is? I noticed a few more growing on the tree fern panels.

Yeah those little tiny 2 leaf stems pop up from time to time in mine also usually in a potted plant or near where I put one in a tank, no idea what they are though. they don't hang around too long

Great job. I am getting to really like vivs that have their green balanced by brown-- all the wood really adds structure.
I was wondering about the nozzles. Do you have any type of filter before the water goes in?

As for that seedling, until you get true leaves, id. is impossible.

nah, just straight from the pump out the nozzles. I dont think i really need one since Im not using any expensive nozzles here.
