Grimm's Vivarium "Build"

[beckdg]

ok... leave him in there then. lol

[Grimm]

Haha I mean the slug I will definately take out when I see it again...But the plant cant survive anywhere else in my place haha....The only reason why the slug was up on the leaf was because I put him up there for the sake of the picture haha..After I just put it back on the ground where I found it.

If you feed the slug he won't eat your plants. just toss in some lettuce or cucumber or something and you won't have to worry. You can also trap him to remove him that way if you do want him out.

I must say, you take amazing pictures and your tank looks very clean and is just stunning. Keep them coming my friend.

I LOVED the comment about the frog being a fatty, btw. To me that's like hearing someone talk about how well their baby is doing, lol. Heart warming, I guess. I'm such a weirdo!

[Grimm]

Haha thank Froggsong...Not bad with a 150$ 7 year old digicam eh??? I wish I had a nice DSLR like my friend brought over that one day...The picture of Ted in my first post as he is holding onto that vine is the only DSLR shot that I have posted...The rest are using my garbage Sony Digicam lol

My kodak camera "greens out" as I call it. If there is alot of green, the whole picture will wash out and you'll lose all the other color and any detail. I HATE IT. Of course, almost EVERYTHING I want to take pics of is freaking green... Stupid damn camera... lol... Anyway, rant over! My blackberry Storm actually takes very good pictures, so I guess I'll have to use it until I can get a better camera. I'm saving for my sister to come for the summer and maybe next school year all the way from SC, so a new camera will just have to wait.

Here are a few updated pics....These will be the last ones I take before revamping this tank.



Heres some of the Ficus growth...


And last a pic of the root structures down the waterfall...

This is such a great build.

[Grimm]

Thanks Froggy...Im actually hoping it looks much better once I fix everything.

On the To Do List:

1. Take out all my land area plants, aswell as all the water and critters.
2. Add height to the land/water divider while making it completely water resistant this time!
3. Drill holes into the bottom of all of my plant pots.
4. Buy a bunch of Moss/Broms/Neos/Leaf Litter from various websites.
5. Replant my old plants while adding all my new ones (This time I will be shoving more Noes/Broms straight into the foam)
6. Finally add everything else that I took out.

I am hoping that once I complete my revamping it will look more natural, I will be able to fill the water side nearly up the the black door strip, and the added plants will allow me to add more RETF's without worrying about them being overweight. I hate seing a pet stuck to glass when it could be climbing around on plants!

[Grimm]
