Okay, this is my LAST post of the day. Just finished the last touch up on my driftwood/coconut coir background. Really is a learning experience.I bought one of those dispenser thingy's for the large tubes of silicone and found that makes it much easier to apply.also used someone else's suggestion about using an old credit card to spread out evenly.I am hoping that the background will have cured enough by tomorrow so I can get it installed.

I am done!  A week ago today I was sitting here looking at an empty glass box and here I am 7 days later with my lush green tropical forest. It actually turned out better than I had pictured in my mind when I started. The only thing missing are some Tillandsia on the back wall. I went to three plant nurseries today,and nobody had any :-( So will have to get online and order some asap! Thank you to all who had something to say during my construction.I look forward to doing another one soon.  |

Thanks,It was a lot of fun,however I am not having much luck finding any tillandsia.Seems most of the retailers are in the US and do not ship to Canada.The hunt continues............
I will post a final full tank shot after recharging the camera battery. I am also going to try and post a quick video because still shots don't capture the beauty of the waterfall.

okay, so i took a really cool video of my finished viv,but was unsuccessful getting it uploaded on this site. You will have to settle for a still photo.Also my "disclaimer" No frogs were injured during the filming of this project ! (just kidding,it's made out of banana leaf) and is just an "actor" ............lol

Any ideas where I can get some?? Canada really sucks when it comes to online purchasing. I have been on about a hundred websites this afternoon looking for a programable fogger or mister. I have had no luck!!Found lots of sites that have both, but don't ship to Canada,or they take only certain methods of payment.Arrrrgh! I will have to take a road trip to the US soon. I will wave at you as I go by. I got lost last trip to Portland, and actually wound up in Lake Stevens WA. Too funny!
