How much would it cost to do a 10 gallon tank? Great stuff expensive?

EDIT: But the panel would hold in moisture and be alot easier to mount the plants right?

Depending on what you cover GS with, it will hold in moisture. A can of GS can be between 4 and 7 dollars here, depending on the store, but they do sell it at walmart. You'd probably only need one can of GS, one tube of silicone, and whatever you are covering it with.

This site has the tree fern fiber stuff for a decent price (though i haven't looked at the prices elsewhere. They also have cork bark, and I think I might get some... Gotta shop around a bit more first... Oak Hill Gardens

So far I have always heard of people not putting live or fake plants because the pacman frogs bulldoze them down, maybe it will work for you, good luck.

They were with all their outdoor stuff like patio sets and mulch and all that stuff. One of the broms I bought had 6 small pups on it and they gave it to me for $1.50 I was surprised myself. That is the first time I've bought plants from walmart.

All the Local Supercenters in my area have loads of Broms and other tropical plants great for vivariums. I picked up 10 medium size Cactus for buck each at my local Wally World. I might go grab some other plants just to have >
