So today i started getting my supplies and found everything i needed at home depot. I started going with the design i had made and as i went with the eggcrate it kept changing little by little until now it is almost nothing like how it started! Anyways i will be posting pictures soon(got to find the cord for the camera). I have a false bottom suspended above where the water is going to sit. Should be interesting to see how it turns out. again i will post pictures soon!
I am so excited

Well i wasn't really planning on putting anything in there actually. Maybe a guppy or two in the water, oh and this little mantis i found out in my yard

I have too many tanks as is and don't think i really need any other animals. I just love the looks and i enjoy plants. maybe sometime down the road i will get something for it.

Thanks beck! Today i finish up with the GS and cutting out the eggcrate i don't need. It turned out better than i thought it would so far. Some of the spots were so uneven that they actually looks natural. I will put up more pictures later. I can't wait to start transferring my plants into it.

Have made some progress lately since i have been busy with other things lately. I plan on leaving the inside of the semi FB like that just adding some gravel then a divider. Will also plan on adding some moss in various places. The pot that is sideways will be for my ivy that i have growing in my other terrarium.

Here are some more pictures from some progress past few days. The last picture is going to be one of the inhabitants. I have a few more for the next post.
