Hi guys, good to finally post I finally found my camera (I hate moving) so here is my 1st viv/palu. I meant to take pics durring the construction phase, but alas it was nowhere to be found. I was shooting for a dual water feature/tropical lagoon/river look in this 29 gal tank.
It was tough to get all the features in that I wanted in such a small tank, but I think it went ok. Next time I would like to try working with a much larger tank, I feel that it would be so much easier. Here are a few more pics.
Here is a shot of my "Mangrove roots"; just some roots ebedded into the titebond/sand mix at the base of my little tree to give the look of roots emerging from the riverbank. I just planted and have only done one water change so the water is still a bit murky.
Here are a few more shots. All of the plants (except for the brom) are collected from my backyard, and the mosses from a hike nearby. I had thought about planting more but I love moss so much that I just carpeted most of my substrate with it.
And one last shot, just becuase I am proud
I plan on making this the home of 4 or 5 froglets, cobalts most likely.
