10 Gallon Vivarium!
Hello all!
Let me start off by saying that this is my first journal. So, I've tinkered around in this aquarium biz (see my video: ) and I have decided that I should not be limited to just inside my tank, but rather I should try to re-create nature completely, submerged below the water line, and above it. I have almost no clue which plants to do or how to do a mist system or any thing like that, so any help is appreciated. So here's my list so far: -Equipment 10 gallon tank Aqua Soil Amazonia II for aquatic plants Nutrient rich dirt for emersed plants HOB Filter somehow used as a waterfall Workshop lights: CFLs x2 Some sort of mist/spray system Rocks Maybe DW -Plants Crypts Java/Flame/Willow Moss (Either-Or) Various Vivarium plants Swords Micro Sword? Anubias? -Fish White cloud minnows or Celestial Pearl Danio Tiger Shrimp Otos These are just things I thought of, so help me out with decision choices. Oh, and one more thing- I am working on a ~$11 a week Budget  So any constructive criticism or ideas would be helpful. Thanks.

That was cute, but the camera motion is very distracting.
I'm doing something similar with my Fluval Ebi.. so it will be interesting to watch what you come up with. |

Here's the pictures of my progress (the layout):
http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=1 http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=2 http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=3 http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=0 Here's dome plants I found while rock-hunting: http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=4 http://s1279.beta.photobucket.com/us...tml?sort=3&o=5 All the rocks I found at a local spot. This is the layout I plan to use, with the waterfall going down the rocks on the right. I decided to scrap the spray system because I can't find any help for how to do it, plus I am not sure how to make it so mold won't grow.

Sorry no posts for a while. School gets in way the sometimes
 . Though I'm pretty stoked about going to the LFS tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get a nice colorful bunch of stem plant for the 60P.
