Just to give warning, I have ots of questions.
I have a 75 g. i would like to set up and plant over the next month. I plan on a false bottom (probally foam) I have a lot of aquarium gravel and a hood and light.
I've been reading this board for weeks now and find many people diagreing on many topics. So please bare with the enthusiastic newbie.
1. is great stuff toxic is exposed to water after complete drying? There won't be frogs in this enclosure for atleast 3 from now.
2. I'm looking for a cheap backround that I should be able to find at the local mom and pop shop, home depot, or Petsmart. Any ideas and prices would be greatly appriciated.
3. I colect nice rocks from stream beds. With proper washing i'm sure they will be fine. Now my worry is wood. Could I just find some locally or do i have to pay high prices for cypress at the shops?
4. I have this moss growing around my apartment building in the parking lot. Its winter here in Pennsylvania and this moss is thriving. Would it be possible to scrape it from the cement and transplant it into the viv, would it survive at higher temps and humidity? just a little description( its thick, fuzzy and very green.) I hope i can use it. There's tons of it and its FREE.
5. Do you have to silicone the exposed great stuff used for landscaping? Kinda a repeat of question #1 sorry.
6. When setting up the false bottom then putting gravel ontop the styrafoam do i need to put the window screen ontop the gravel, before laying the substraight?
7. Any great subs easy and cheap to make mixing certain topsoils and stuff???? I'm not exactly a green thumb.
8. Since there will be no frogs and no money for a misting system hand spraying will have to do for now. How much How often???
I'm looking to spend around $50 to get this tank ready to start planting. I'm a bargain shoper and looking for great advice of all you experts.
Thank You.
