so as requested i have more pictures. Here is the grouted (3x) columns
. I did a thin coat to cover, a thick coat, then and in between to fill in the holes. I'm going to plant and pump water through it. i love the little crack i made, makes it look very old. I found creeping fig ( i think) at home depot for 2.99 (what a steal! Home depot has no clue what they have!) so after i seal it tomorrow, i will plant it the same way i did my other plants, which i will show u. Here is a close up of the wall so you can see the texture. Perfect <3
love the broken part!! Here is my tank after GS and co co fiber
. on top of the meshed egg crate i put hydroton clay balls and on top of that ( which u can see) is garden liner which is water, but not dirt, permeable. all the holes i made for the broms have the same thing, layer of clay and liner covered with forest floor bedding. They also have their own drainage tubes. Here is a picture of the plants i ordered from NE herptoculture.
. 20 tillys, Peperomia Prostrata, lemonbutton fern, N. "wee willy" and N "Eoz".
Wee willy with pup! and
a very pretty Eoz. Here's the planted tank
. I also wanted to mention some things i used that were a little different than what i've read so far on this site and others. instead of taking up another plug with a 2nd pump for drip irrigation, i got drip vines from petsmart.com and hooked them up to a little dripper. i zip tied them into the top for my tank, which is eggcrate cut to size and meshed. this system works awesome for my tank, cuz all my plants are pretty much on the BG, and the heavy drip goes from wee willy, which drains into EOZ, which drains onto the fern, which drains to the water section. lol it was a total accident that worked out beautifully. I pinned most of the tillys in but did use liquid nails for some of the smaller ones. the grassy stuff is LIVE spanish moss, also from NEherp, which was used as a filler. I have an aquarium fan on the side of the heavy water flow, to keep air circulating and also put in some green and blue led lights for moon lights. I will have a picture up soon i swore i took one lol but i guess i didnt. the top is an exoterra 24 with dual switches, and i have 2 2.0 full spec bulbs. i have a heat light but dont think i need it just yet. i have the hydro/therm in the top of that, and the light is tall enough to hide everything in the back. I just ordered some aquatic plants and scuds from living aquatic, so im excited to do the water section. temp is about 75 F and hum is about 65, which i would like to bring up to 70. Thanks for all the help here i couldnt have done it without your imput. and finally, all the chords are hooked up to the digital timer 24/7 thing lol. which i can't get to work properly yet so any help with that would be great! Thanks for looking!
Where is the wall going, up front?
.and heres the LED moonlights: 
.the blue lights will be under water. how cool is that?!? lol im doing the water section next and then the final accents. I will post as it comes along. oh and Beck i got the timer to work (finally). thanks for your help
