Hey I'm Dan, I just thought i'd throw up my progress on the viv so far. New to the hobby and this is the first one, but I've been doing tons of research and reading all the forums for a while now.
I used the GS pond foam and various driftwoods to sculpt the background. I did the back first and then the sides one at a time. I want to create terraces everywhere on the background to utilize the space well. I am pretty set on getting a pair of Leucs.
The lights are 2 24" 24 watt T5's. I added some flat aggots to the terraces to give them a little zest!
I had read about Grapewood constantly molding and decomposing quick so I tore that out (which was on the left side) and replaced it with some Malaysian Driftwood (pics of this soon to come). The bottom will be Hydroton and ABG mix with Magnolia and Sea Grape leaf litter. I just need to buy a glass drill bit and put a few holes in for vents on the glass top. I will be covering the front vent and the top vents with noseeum screen. Plants and Springtails should be shipping soon with luck!
