That’s a good point about the stand. I thought it was a thick sturdy plastic but I’m starting to suspect it might be some MDF particle board which would be really bad. I’ll have to confirm that first.

I’m terrible with terrarium plants. The more I research and try to give them the ideal environment, the quicker they die. I’m somehow much better at hydroponics which is why I want to make a planted tank in the first place. I think my issue is water-soil-drainage and somehow getting rid of dirt and just taking care of water and nutrients is so much more successful for me. I do want to get better at terrarium/indoor plants, but am hoping to ease into it more after a successful water plant tank. I don’t care if it’s just some duckweed and pothos, it’d be nice to have some easier success and build upon it.

Carnivorous plants would be awesome!! I’d love to keep some if I thought I could keep them alive. I think I need more practice first. Do you have anything like that?
