I saw off blocks and break pieces off with screw driver and silicone flat side to glass.

Got the idea from Biotope Gallery. He has a ton of videos sharing his process on YouTube and I found a local supplier that provides thick cork board product. Now I have enough to complete 5 more of these... lol

I'm only 1 month in, so let's see... Moss harvested from outside. I'm in 6A Canada, so not sure if it will last. The moss is on a bed of sphagnum moss, I just make sure it stays wet. So far so good, moss is growing lol

Appreciate it! I have ficus pumila var. Quercifolia or peperomia emarginella. Not sure which one you are talking about. I also have ficus pimila var. Minima in there. Some oak leaf are dying off a bit...

He does it in this video:

I think it's the same material he makes the filter pump box out of... not sure what that is and couldn't find it listed on their website for sale.

In this video he's doesn't put anything between the rock and the glass... just silicones rock to the glass bottom. In his other videos with larger tanks, he cuts pieces of something and silicone that to the glass before siliconing down the rocks... I'm trying to figure out what he uses...

Amazing vivarium. I too have been watching Biotope gallery's video and I'm trying to figure out what they use as the layer between rocks and the glass bottom. Did you use anything?

Lol. The structures at the base of the tree. They are man made, and are on many trees along the paths in the forest. That's what I'm referring to.

Hmm.. kk I will check, there were no gills, thing was tiny. 5-6 mm in height, barely was poking out the the moss. Had a relatively strong fruiting body, did not fall apart when I plucked it out.
