I'm coming to the realisation that I'm not going to have the 500 L aquarium of my dreams; my floors will not take it. I'm pushing it with the AS600 already. I will probably downsize my collection to only 2 tanks.
So what do you do then?

You take the water out!

Oops. Should not be a sticky.

MOOODS!

I love my exo-terra! just as much fun as a planted tank without all the hassle of water changes! Are you putting anything living in it or sticking to plants only? Oh, and new posts always seem to show up with the stickys for some reason when first posted.

There's springtails and woodlouse in there for now. Got some ideas. Needs to grow in for a while, though.
I've already moved some plants around, so pic is outdated already 🤣

I know that feeling!

Probably just throw in an update from a couple of months ago.
Ready for some inhabitant(s) now, but who?

Looks great. Love the mini palms.

Too tip: tooth picks can be used to pin climbing and vining plants to the background.

😅 there's a lot of them
Bamboo spears, like the ones you use for barbecue, are useful too for larger plants like orchids.
