I love the look of the viv you have in your gallery (starting at the 14th picture till i think the 18th) and i have a few questions about it. What size is it? Is the background the blackjungle greatstuff/black silicon combo? And about the pool of water, is it just standing or does it have a pump and flow? Also, how did you pull off the land to water interphase -- how did you keep the land from sliding down into the water? I was thinking of molding a pond out of the greatstuff and silicon but just wanted to know if you used a simpler method. Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Thanks.
The viv is a 90gal. 2'x2'x3' .There really is not background. It is driftwood held together with GreatStuff, silicone with coco brick powder, some "dry' moss ect. The land mass will not "slide" because I use peat brick which is somewhat fibrous and does not get 'muddy". There is a circulating pump under the "stump".
Rich
Where do you get the peat bricks from? I've had trouble locating a vendor.

Hey Luke,
I get them through Vivaria NL, (Netherlands) but order in bulk, it is not cheap. Some higher end pet shops will carry it also.

Rich, I really like the size and shape of this setup. Who makes/sells this tank or Is a custom ?
Its in dutch but checkout
www.palutech.nl . I built a 2x2x3 corner modeled after his design. It was fun satisfying and i have everything exactly how i want it. Probably not the cheapest way but hey. Pictures are in my gallery.
