Exo-Terra Nano Tall Setups

Awesome stuff there! How are all your other tanks doing?
I'd love to see a "tour" post with new shots of each of your setups!



All assorted moss, liverwort and assorted bryophyte donations may be sent to me directly at:

a quick search of bryophyte led me to discovering the name of a liverwort that I have been dying to ID. Thank you for having similar interests!!! ;]

Progress of Utric fulva's future home, still playing around with the mud levels. Thinking I want a slope and have to allow the mud to dry some to harden up so it will retain the shape more over time when wet. Sounds weird but it seems to work.

What wood is that that you are able to use despite the humidity / constant contact with moist soil?

Very beautiful set ups, extraordinarily beautiful grow room by the way. Truly.

I prefer cork bark & driftwood myself.

Aquatic quality driftwoods such as African Root and Mopani Wood, they will last decades underwater without much noticable decay. They do decay and leech into the water but the rate is ignorable on the good stuff.

I've been using cork bark for easy backgrounds and with the wet/humid conditions I tend to create...I not sure of the long term use of it. So far so good.

I trade/sell alot of the plants I'm growing to frog people and the plants seem to do just fine with them. I've been toying with the idea of adding a heli to one of these setups but it will likely be in the spring when I divide up the next H. minor. I just need to figure out how wet I can keep them long term first.

Well while the fern Pilularia globulifera is a nice plant it was not a smart move to put it into one of these tanks....So I'll be removing it once I set-up a new home for it.

Added a few more mini's into this one. Most are orchids so the growth rate is super slow.

I'm really liking these setups a lot. Any updates for us!

Not yet, most of the plants in there are orchids and grow slower than snails.
