My vivarium

[Hollywood]

Here is the beginning of my first vivarium. I am fairly new to the hobby and tried my best not to rush things and to build it right. Since these pictures, the tank has had some time to mature, I will have more pictures coming.

here are some more pictures of the tank...

This is a communal tank and so far have had no problems.

looking pretty good there, hollywood. i would try to get that heater a little lower in the water, though.

as always, welcome to the site.

Since that picture was taken I have added a new underwater heater as well as a fully submersible filter

[beckdg]

excellent.

looks good. I would try to mount the bromeliads though. they could rot easily in the substrate.

Very nice Viv. It makes me want to hurry and get mine done. I have been away for some time and haven't gotten anything done. My wife and I had to move for the 3rd time this year. However your Viv has inspired me to finish what I have started. It's been too long! Keep up the great work!

looks very well made.
Is that just a garden-variety sago palm? I've wanted to include one or a similar tree fern, because they just look so ancient and wild. but they generally reach huge sizes... I'd be interested to see if you can keep it trimmed to a small size while still looking good and healthy, keep us updated as your viv grows in.

Thank you, it's a bonsai variety. Since I planted it about 5 months ago, I've noticed the roots take off but the leaves have not grown too much which is nice. The animals love basking on it.
