I am guessing since you are an administrator it was you who came up with those clever names! Good to see you are still online. I read the "off topic thread",and it was looking like the land of dial-up for you...yikes! Anyway rambling now, must get back to work, have much siliconing to do.

We aren't moved quite yet... We are moving into the new place on the 15th of this month. It may end up being the world of dial up for us after all, but if so, hopefully not for long.

Well good luck with the move! I always dread moving especially when you have aquariums or vivariums.I am pretty certain I will stay where I am for quite a while.I must admit I have become rather obsessive with "my project" I retired from work a few months ago and my hubby thought I should get a hobby.So that's how I found my way here to this forum.I started researching things that interested me and since I have kept freshwater and saltwater aquariums for over 30 years I decided a change was in order.
I figured I would just kinda plug along with my viv build over the winter, doing a little bit here, little bit there. HA! I am almost finished the damn thing.As you can see in my photos,I am on day 4 today and it's almost complete. I just have to wait for the 3D background to finish curing, give it a good vacuum and silicone it to the back wall, easy peasy. It is really hard to see in the still shots of the waterfall, but I gotta say I am super impressed how well it turned out. I may have to do a video and try to post.

i must say i'm super impressed also... looks great!
i especially like the pump/filter you chose.
will you be able to access the filter extension on that pump? it will need cleaning from time to time. i'm sure you knew that, just wanted to bring it to your attention just in case.

Thanks for the great feedback! Yes I did make a trap door in the false bottom, so it is very easy to get in and do filter maintenance without having to dismantle any of the plants or decorations.I just have to lift up a small piece of slate at the back of the waterfall to access everything.I also really like the ease of the foam filter/powerhead.Keeps the water clear and has lots of power for the waterfall,and it's adjustable flow!!
Later..............

So I could not wait to get started planting, put in some Helxine Soleiroli and some Selaginella.Also had some nice mosses growing in the yard so put some around the waterfall. Planted an unidentified Bromeliad behind waterfall.  |
