Hi I'm new =3

Hello fellow members!

I'm not only new to the forum but also to building vivariums. I just finished my first one yesterday. It was a HUGE learning experience but I'm pretty proud of myself. =D

I used an old 40 gallon aquarium I got off craig's list for $30. The background was made with expanding foam for ponds and sealed with GE Silicone II (black). The substrates I used to build the land mass were hydroponic clay, charcoal, orchid wood (for the orchids), forest moss, kelp meal for natural fertilizer, and jungle bed. The floor is a little bare because I wanted to leave space for growth.

You might want to hit mute because I had my radio on in the background...
