Here is the rest of the construction journal for my tank. If you have any questions for me please just let me know. I haven't been able to work on this for a while due to being ill but I really liked how it came out.
Laying in the screening....one layer thick. I just tucked it all down and then put the leca on top so that it would stay by gravity instead of pinning it down or glue.
Now here comes the dirt.
Here is a side shot of the tank after being planted.
Here is a shot with the lights out. I'm going to add some slate to the bottom of the falls and also some driftwood for the frogs to hide in.
I went ahead and seeded the tank with dwaft tropical isopods and some tropical springtails. I also had this container that I used to keep springtails in but I fed them too much yeast and mushrooms broke out everywhere. So, needless to say, I packed that dirt in there as well.
I had been trying to raise up some moss a while back and I ended up getting sick. It dried out so I just used that rich dirt as well in the tank. Along with longer fiber sphangnum and two different sizes of fir bark. It drains well and retains moisture.
