Tommy Gave HIS BLOOD For This Terrarium! Was it worth it?

What you do when you have some spare time between projects? Tommy built this terrarium, but like all custom build, this had some unforeseen challenges as well. Wait until the end to see the result and let us know what you would have done differently in the comment below.

This is why I like Tommy's style. Sometimes its not about the livestock in the tank. Its about the plants. Simple, sleek, and creative. For me. I would let the pump run at night. The sound of the waterfall would help me sleep.

[@horiescu]

You can find those black "crispy" foam plastic sheets under the name Komatex (I think that's a specific brand product name - similar to a Xerox machine :) ). You should find them in most hobby stores in relatively small sheets like 60x90cm. Often used by people who are into miniature models and dioramas. Also popular in the publicity industry, so they may be able to share some of their suppliers for larger and/or thicker sheets. As for the waterfall terrarium you made, I really love these and the idea of flowing water in the house. Looks really awesome. What I would have added are little pockets, like terraces where water would gather, along the wall.

[@GreenAquaShop]

Thanks! Cheers! Glad you like it.

Wonderful build. I would have liked to see some small plants added for detail. But still a lovely concept. Good DIY Tommy 🙌

Tommy kept this minimal... :)

[@ttw369369]

Interesting. I really like the magic touch of hygrolon, it gives the water dripping all over the rocks. Looking forward the entire grown after few days/weeks, won't it nicer to have some little flower, or maybe Bucep scatter around?

Genius Tommy. Great build today, you have thought of everything, will you be adding any more plants at home ? Hope the finger is better with the dinosaur plaster. "I also have a hole in the backside " 🤭 made me giggle. Love the use of that material for leaching the water to other areas, brilliant. As always, best wishes to all the staff at green aqua, and especially Balazs. Fingers crossed, I'm hoping to visit in the autumn, hopefully you guys will have time to share a drink with me. Take care. Terry.

Nice built Tomi! Sorry about your hand, part of the aquascaping deal :D As for that foam board, you can search for "Habosított PVC" You can find them in different colors. Most regular is white, but you can find some art supply stores where they sometimes have it in color.
