Few pictures of my planted 90gal vivarium. It's quite overgrown, so I think trimming is in order. I kind of like that out of control jungle look. There's bunch of plants in here, don't know the names of most though
ops:
8 adult leucomelas call this place home. As for the setup, there are 2x55W Compact Fluorescent lights, water feature that's a bit overgrown, with external canister filter supplying the waterfall/drip wall. There is an ultrasonic fogger and a misting system. Also a heater for the water, always at 75'F, Air bubbler for the water, to increase the circulation and aerate it a bit, there are 2 computer fans slowly circulating the air...I think that's pretty much all.
Sorry about the dark pictures, I was toying with my camera on manual setting. Just imagine that it's a bit brighter in the tank
Pic much overexposed. This is what the tank looks like
Again, very overexposed, with the filter, timers, air pump, and some storage underneath the vivarium. I was bored one day and I installed a fridge type switch with a light. Now everytime you open the door the light automatically goes on...hehe
Full frontal view of the tank.
Middle center, a bit of moss, some leaf litter and mix of coconut fiber and peat with a pinch of organic soil
This is the tip of a root that became completely covered in moss, with time ficus pumilia climb up and ferns sprouted out. The root is just a supporting structure, as you can't really see it anymore, except in the water.
2 Leucs doing the rounds
Splash of colour with the home depot variety of this red plant. I'm notorious for throwing out labels.
Tip of the root mountain again. At the top there is a nice plurothalid orchid. It's growing nicely.
One of the leucs hunting down some fruit flies
Here's the red plant again
ops:
Top of the food chain. Yellow and Black, ready to attack
Hey! What's this walking on my leaf !
Leuc sitting pretty
Another leuc...or maybe the same one ?
Balcony view
That's how the leucs sleep at night. They huddle around the cattleya, all 8 of them. That's also how the orchid is fertilized
Fogger in the background. I turned it on just for the pic.... Humidity is mostly 90% +, so I rarely turn it on.
