Hi,This is my first.An exo terra 45x45x60cm.

Would appreciate comments and suggestions.
Haven't decided what species yet but would also appreciate suggestions for this also.
Very nice oslodunc!

Can you tell us a little about your tank? What type of lighting are you using, what you made your background out of?

Ok,
The background and sides are Xaxim panels.there is airline tubing feeding a drip in the centre at the top of each panel.
I have a 6 way manifold hidden behind the backing to control the drip.

I used a false bottom made from plexiglass i had already.So i always have access to the pump.
Seems to be working very nicely.
I use 2x15w life-glo with reflectors.

Picked some moss from a forest here which is doing nicely.had it some time first and had no stow aways on it!!
Also java moss, ficus pumila, ass. broms, fern.

Have had a couple of plants mysteriously sprout from the backing and these are growing well.

No animals yet as i wanted the viv to be running correctly a while first.
Open to suggestions of species that would appreciate this set up.

The censored word was an abbreviation of assorted bromeliads!
