so i finally managed to complete my set up after 2 weeks of putting it together. I'm not sure why it took so long, I think I decided to take my time with it.

enjoy and as always, comments are welcomed!
front tank shot

right side

right small "pond"

middle part

left side, water pump fixture

left small "pond"

i know the front of the tank shows the egg crates and etc.. but i'm ok with it. the tank begins on top of the substrate so it doesn't bother me.
i was really worried that it wouldn't come out the way i wanted it to but after couple of tries, i'm really happy the way it came out.

i just need some more plants in the tank now.. hehe as of now i have peacock moss, purple bamboo and Chamaedorea cataractarum.

i received the purple bamboo slightly dry and weak.. i'm hoping it'll spring right back up. the Cham Cat. is really nice which I purchased from hydrophyte.

what do ya'll thing? i made this to replicate natural habit for vampir e crabs

hmm, i was contemplating on the leaf litter but decided not to because i believe their natural habitat is more by streams of water. they graze and roam around hidden areas within the rocks. they've been climbing the thing nonstop since i put them in tonight.

as for plants, i'm up for suggestions! thanks

^thanks for your comments!
yep, i'm in nyc
as for leaf litter, i may add them just to give them cover i suppose. i realized the front area is a bit 'bare'... i wanted it like that for viewing but mabye they'll appreciate it.

as for isopods, do they need them for reproducing? i've been trying to search intensively on their reproductive patterns and have come with with very little..
