Well done... May I know how big is the tank?

It will better if,
1. the diveder is lower or same hiht with the 'land'
2. the diveder is more natural by glueing some stone on it
3. the diveder is not glue to the front glass

Casey.
The tank dimension are 1.5ft x 1ft x 1ft.
The divider are glue. That what i thinking to do so. But not glue with stone as there's hole at the divider afraid it might block the water flow thru the Cps area. I will going to top up some sphagnum moss later let the CPs grow for some time first.

Edmund..
Thank you. Not really just try something else.... Erm.... you going to sponsor me some CPs? hehehe.....:wub:

Hey Edwin,

Nice setup you have there. Sure you can use some water based CP to populate the water reservoir. Some U gibba or aurea be nice. Be even nicer if there are some water wheel plant aka Aldrovanda. Hehe...

Nice setup, might try my hands on a design that is similar to what you made, I have a few spare glass lying around in the house :)

Good call about an Utric or Aldrovanda on the water reservoir, though I don't know if Aldrovanda will be happy in it, but hope you do suceed. It'll be like a "community CP Tank". cute!

TTFN

Got some Japanese Aldrovanda but still very few strands. Pretty easy to grow. Not ready to distribute yet.

Love to have a glass tank to have lateral view. Atm, only top down in my fiber tank.

Arvin,
If you really like to try it out. I suggest you to use arcylic than glass. Mine have a dis advantages. During hot sun the air circulation not so good. If you use arcylic you can make some window on the side part so it won't be too hot. But so far nothing happen to the plant, infact the D. Paradoxa getting reddish then before i put in the tank. Will upload the pic to next week.:2thumbup:
