PetPitcher Forum - [Edmund] CP in the House

hi guys,

Here with share my terrarium that had been setup last few month . Now is growing mature and stable. For those have a thought / planning to have a CP tank in the house/room. Here is the step :

Note : it might not the best way but it work to me :1thumbup:

First prepare the tank size that suit for you

The glue is not direct on the glass but on the blue sticker. it is easier to clean for the next time if i change the background board. or turn the tank into others purpose.

Tie the plant with some stick. However. those plant no grow well due too hot on top. After that, i bought some air plant /tilansia plant and now they are growing healthy in the tank.

As you can see top on the left and right. there is two holes for each corner which allow air flow to go in and out.

The sponge filter will be use for the basement where filter out the dirt. When i pour/ spray the water, it will go through the medium and sponge. By doing this way, it make more clean after the water accumulate in the lower layer (white color area).

Wrap another type of sponge for double filtration.
