The start of a 20g terrarium bulid

I emptied it all out and started over with what I had already at home.

I used aqua-tech aquarium sealant, and half of the top of a 10g glass hood to separate the pond from the dry. And catty cornered the glass slab (they best way it would fit.)

Then I used the sealant to make a rock "stair way" I plan on adding to it when I get more smooth river rocks.

I used rocks from my yard, and sealant to hold them against the glass hood piece. large to cover the space, and then alot of smaller rocks to fill in the gaps.

Then the gravel on both sides of the glass divider, and coconut husk on the dry side.

I used a larger branch to separate the husk from the water (dont want it tracked into the pond, and grass to fill in, and soon river rocks to add to the stairs......

I haven't started the back or sides yet, thinking of the spray foam, but I like the look of a wood back, so may collect large hunks of bark, and fill in the gaps with moss and maybe coco?


Ideas are more than welcomed.....

Oh, what are good plants to use in a wetter, humid setting?

P.S, be gentle, its my first try at this...

I am nut sure, most likely frogs or toads. I am a little scared to to the spray foam, but I really want to do it!

I have been looking into it. but how do you attach it?

looks like a good start.

I think cork is cooler than spray foam, and easier to play with placements before committing.
