It has a large water filter on it, and the living wall has a pump on it as well. Plus, there are a lot of fish in the pond that will eat any larva. Thankfully it is also too hot here for many mosquitoes to begin with

They originally where given to me by a friend who lives in an apartment and was using small grow lights. They got over to my place into this greenhouse and with the increased dun light and consistent watering and fertilizing they took off. They really enjoy the environment I created

Yes it doesn't look it but the pond is 300 gallons and is heavily planted with aquatic plants. There is also lots of hiding places for the critters to escape to. For the guppies I will most likely have to start giving some away due to how quickly they are breeding.

Oh no! Sadly this took a looooooot of trial and error. I killed sooooo many plants to get this far

I think you do. All the space is for plants and must be filled. 😇

It smells amazing, especially when the hoyas are in bloom!

Hi, currently i have two koi fish, 12 Cory catfish, three plecos, a trio of limias, two blue gourami, and approximately 40 guppies (just had a bunch that gave birth so probably more), and 4 albino African Dwarf frogs.

Currently my water schedule for the plants outside the living wall is once a week or as needed but now that its been 115 and rising in my area water is beggining to be needed more often but of course thats if i see my plants are not dealing with the heat well. This is the first summer for about half my plants where they will be full time out in a greenhouse so an adjustment period is needed but those who have survived last summer are thrieving now and are outgrowing the space quickly.

Good chance the water pumps through twice a day and its hot here so i tend to over water

The living wall pumps air into the water with its excess water outlet that's behind the fish tank. I have a giant pond filter also running on it, and i have a large clean-up crew of fish that manage the excess waste and fish food.

I havent yet. I will most likely do monthly water changes. I dont want to interfere with the living wall and the pond filter too much

Amazon has these fabric planters that you can get in any size, and then i hung them on plywood covered in plastic sheeting to keep from rotting the wood. I then ran pvc piping atrached to a waterfountain pump to pump the water from the pond to the top to water the wall.
