5 elements

Having playing around recently with my left over tank from last terrarium project. Here is how it develops

First tryout. Not so nice and I call it a pile of ****

Try-out got destroyed in a second. And here is another

Pretty happy with it, I started adding more details and finished scaping

And flooded the tank, let it run until it's fully cycled

Hardscape

1. Larva rocks
2. 01 bag ADA powersand S type
3. 01 bag ADA Amazonia

Light

Tank is cycled and I start planting it. I don't finish planting at one time but do it in several days. It is because of some plants are ready from my 125cm tank while the others are not available. I have to wait for the stock availability from LFS

Ozone is having major decoration change now. I will write a post regarding this change later on my thread about Ozone

Quan is kind enough showing me his Babylon, and shares with me three plants from his hanging garden. Can you guess what they are?

It’s been awhile. My house had gone through a major renovation, and I had to send my tanks away. The project completed last December and I was able to relocate 5 elements back to my house. Trimmed it a week before new year, and here is it few weeks after trimming
