Nice terrarium you have got. Please can you give me more information about the waterfall/fountain? Did you create it yourself or did you bought it? Have you got close-up of the fountain? Would love to see it!
I got both the terrarim and the waterfall for Christmas from my father-in-law. Initially I didn't have the waterfall in the terrarium, but it was very difficult to keep the humidity up so I put it in and it has worked wonderfully. The waterfalls should be available at most lawn and garden centres, usually they are sold with potted plants set into them, but are rather pricey.
I am currently building a second fountain for the second terrarium (looks just like the one in the pic). I am using a glazed cermaic bowl, and a $15 "table top fountain pump" (available at lawn and garden centers) I plan to put the pump in the bottom of the bowl, fill it with decorative rocks and water. I will post pics when it's done.
As for lighting, it's all natural. All my plants are in the gazebo with the hot tub. They get bright indirect light all day, and about 4 hours of direct light in the early afternoon.
Thanks for the pic, it looks nice... I will check the local gardencentres overhere, till soo far there was nothing to my taste. That's why I am planning to build one myself, using a waterfall or mystifier.
But I don't know how to begin Is Chicken-Wire an option? In dutch we have: "pur-schuim" don't know how to translate gives a natural effect (used also for terrarium-backgrounds for reptiles), but I am not sure if you can combine it with water.
Anyway, I am very much interested in your new waterfall design!
Thanks, I just covered all the walls with mylar so I don't need the heater anymore, and it is extremely bright inside my little 7ftx9ft terrarium. After I found the A/C unit on sale at walmart for $150 I couldn't resist building the chamber.
And it came with two remote controls so my lowland Neps and Highland Neps each have their own remote for the A/C. Although sometimes at night I swear I can hear them arguing.
Great Terrariums, I will post my pics up of my Terraium and greenhouse in the Summar like in July or June. Great pics. Monkeyma I really like you neps. And saladshooter I like your Dixie.
