This is my first vivarium, it's a 10 gallon tank. Any suggestions for improvements? I realize now that I'll need a bigger tank for the next build!
Here are the steps that I took, and I'm wondering if I did everything correctly. I siliconed the cork bark to the back first. Then, I used the Hydroballs on the bottom, then put the Eco Earth substrate and covered it with the sphagnum moss. I bought some "terrarium plants" at our local nursery, removed the soil and dipped them in a 10% bleach solution and rinsed them off before planting. For the oak leaves and magnolia leaves, which I collected from my yard, I boiled them for about 5 minutes. The driftwood was also found near a local river and was baked for about a half hour at 200 degrees.
Any advice? I value your feedback.
Thanks!
