Bye bye Marshal :-)

Marshal was my sons gecko who has gone off to a relatives on permanent loan therefore I've gained a 2ft vivarium
Going emersed on it
What's a good substrate ?

I have found the best way to set up emersed tanks for me personally is to divide the tank with a piece of glass or acrylic so theres a water area, you don't need to seal the divider or anything. On the land side I put down about 1.5-2'' of hydroleca clay balls then regular potting soil or whatever's lying around on top. In the water section as I don't want any animals I put pots full of hydroleca and use them for Spathiphyllum, Anubias, Microsorum and various mosses. Works a treat.

I may have somewhere, I just set up a 130l box from ikea with the trimmings from the original aqua one 620 this way so the aqua one is looking bare. I'll get some pictures up after if I can find some.
