I really like it too- the shots make the bark look like cliff faces or something. The whole thing's really neat and original. And to top it off, I think he's going to see some really good growth in his plants as well.

HC is Hemianthus Callitrichoides, commonly used in the aquarium hobby:

well here are some new pictures got the Cryptocoryne parva that i put on the upper left side and some other crypt sp. that i picked up from work along with another anubias (sp. unknow). also painted the back ground black and like how it looks, from a distance it obscures the loc-lines.

(ful tank shot)

got a crested gecko for the 20 gallon!!!!! he's still young (really young) but he's really cute. do you thing a the 20 would be ok for a pair because there another young crestie that i have had my eye on too.



also the tank is doing really well still need things to grow in and i filled in the water area because it was to much trouble to take care of.



and yes that a illy coffee cup up there it's what i'm using temporarily to hold gecko food




also here are some up dates on the other tank added more java moss to the left side cork bark and the other java moss has grown incredibly fast. i've also removed the fern from the left side was over powering the set and planted more UG there. sadly i also lost the anubias just wasn't doing well enough so i moved it into my fish tank but it just couldn't recover and died. i tried again in another spot with another anubias but no luck.



the cryps are going well and i must say ammania sp. 'bonsai' dose well in this set up




i believe this is gold baby tear but not sure it's doing pretty good there

man was about to update this. the tanks are good though the i did cannibalize the smaller tank some what to get parts for the new White lined Gecko tank. here's a picture of the 20 though that's relatively recent.



i'll try to get pictures up of the other tank but i think i'll be taking this down soon ish just because i know have 6 terrariums and aquariums in my room. also fungus and other thing are becoming a problem and in such a small tank ot's hard to deal with. i think it would be easier to control this in a bigger tank and while probably do this in something like a 55 gallon i have at home once i settle down a bit more.
