Plants For Vivarium (half aquariuim, half land)

[ergo sum]

Anytime, I figure it is lots cheaper listening to you figure out how to build this than buying all the supplies myself.

This is what I have so far (front top looking down). The right side is land | soil for regular air plants to grow. THe left side is where the aquarium is - it is 'L' shaped as to allow for more water and to hide the filter and heater. THere is currently no fountain here because it is being repaired - leaks too much. The log on the land is fake - but the toads seem to like it alot. The rocks are real as well as the driftwood in the back left - if you can see it.

Just wanted to show everyone what it was looking like. When I get it all nice and planted - I will post again - hopefully with better pics - currently I have no place to store them but here.

That looks great! Now you can't just post a picture when you get it planted you have to tell us what plants you want to put in. This is the virtually vicarious world we post in.

I would be concerned about the potting soil. I think at least I would cover it with an inch of pea gravel. Maybe someone who has used it in this fashion will come along but I suspect it is going to cause you problems.

Check this one out. The article has several pics and discussion about building. Not quite the same as what you are doing, but the plants and frogs are similar. You might find some info you can use.
