Third set of plants in an eighteen by eighteen by twenty four. Each time they hang on for a few weeks, get leggy, then go soft and rot at the base. Humidity is right, drainage layer is working, springtails and isopods…
Crested gecko, enclosure already bought, so I am pricing drainage layer, substrate, leaf litter, plants, cleanup crew and a light. Every guide I read lands near 150 and my basket sits at just over 300 without a single…
Planted an 18x18x24 six weeks ago with a pothos cutting, two small ferns, a bromeliad and some moss on the background. Everything is alive and nothing has died, but it looks exactly like it did on day one. The pothos…
18x18x24 with one LED bar, misted morning and evening, and by mid afternoon the hygrometer reads about 50 percent. I have killed two ferns and a jewel orchid, and the gecko sleeps on whatever I plant, which flattens…
18x18x24 with a drainage layer, substrate barrier, about three inches of coco and sphagnum mix, springtails added at setup, and a large piece of cork and a driftwood branch. Two weeks in there is white fuzz creeping…
Snake tank, false bottom with clay balls, about ten centimetres of substrate, springtails and isopods added at setup. I mist twice a day, there is no fan and the vents are two small strips at the front. The smell is…
Front opening glass tank, full screen top, two inches of LECA under three inches of substrate, and a decent amount of standing water in the drainage layer. I mist heavily in the morning and it reads 90, and by early…
Springtails were thriving for two months, visible in hundreds every time I lifted a leaf or the cork bark. I added a starter culture of isopods four weeks ago and now I barely see a springtail anywhere. The isopods look…
Building an 18x18x36 for a tree dwelling species. LECA for that footprint is about 30 here and I would need two bags, egg crate and screen would be maybe 12 and some cutting. I have read that weight matters in tall…
