·hi,
i'm new here, and still reading up and trying to get an idea for how to set up and care for a terrarium... i have a 35 Gal vertical hex, and really like the look of this simulated rock background:
http://greenstouch.com/articles_background.htm
...i also like the great stuff/coco bedding setups as well, but personally i find the 'simulated rock' more pleasing. i'm thinking running a drip waterfall down this rock would look pretty cool, along with some draping plants.
what i'd like to know is why people put the coco bedding over the great stuff background... does it serve a purpose other than for looks? for instance, is it necessary for certain plants to grow on walls? or do you need the driftwood for that to happen..
and finally, if i go with the foam/marine epoxy method to make simulated rocks for the backdrop, can moss grow directly on this surface? can anything?
thanks in advance... this forum is remarkably useful...
btw.. if any of you has a chance to see the frog exhibit at the NY Museum of Natural History... go see it! it's remarkable...
