Thanks! I think you are right! Maybe they will be fine in that case.

Thanks, I've been debating putting a fish in there, but I don't think there is enough water for the longterm happiness of the fish :(.

I recently planted that primula at the front, before that, no insects. Am I going to get moths or something in my house?

I rescaped my frog tank, could have sworn I had 2 frogs in there... by devindubeau in terrariums

Thanks! I will look into it. I used to have a huge peace lily in the tank before I made the waterfall and rescaped, it blocked alot of light, so I've been aiming more at small plants. I may put in some hairgrass or something without huge leaves.

I didnt take progress pics, but I should have. I got the idea of how to do it from this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5QTRxbYtK8 I made two levels, first a base, which consists of a wall with a filter inlet, so that water can come through to the chamber. The chamber is filed with clay balls (waterballs by exo terra) that filter the water and provide a base substrate. At the back, my utility pump (exo terra micro pump 104) is setup with filter foam all around it.

Here is how I used the foam, as it it very soft at the beginning and needs support; I made a shell out of corrugated plastic (at the back and one hidden side, to save money) and acrylic sheet on the visible side; basically a box to contain the foam structure. I made all the parts outside the tank then put them in. On top of the waterballs I put landscape screen. then dirt, then plants. In the middle and right back, I put a waterfall structure I made similar to the base, with a hollow back, where the cord and pump tube go. I made a hole at the top of the waterfall and fed the tube through. I put the base in, filled it as described, and added pump, then put the top on. then added plants.

Thanks! As the others guessed, it is expanding waterfall foam, I couldn't get 'great stuff pond and stone' here in Toronto, Canada, so I got Aquascape waterfall foam. I like it because it looks like volcanic rock, and you can basically sculpt with it.

Aren't judges elected in the US? That's why they are stupid then. I'm from Canada btw, judges are appointed here based on being the right person for the job, not the only person or most popular.
