Please check out the current tank and tell me what you think!

Here is the tank as it sits after growing and "maturing" for 6 months. You can see it freshly set up in the user galleries. It has about 6 kinds of tillandsia, 2 orchids, rabbits foot fern, a few other ferns, an antler horn fern, and some flowering thing that my wife liked when she saw. You know what they say, "You cant fight city hall".

What do you think? Is it mossy enough for you? All of it was collected locally here in N.C.

The tank looks very nice. Your moss gives it a very natural effect. It looks like the same species that Harry from Cloud Jungle sent me that died (NC, as well).

I have really come to dislike pillow moss in vivariums, as all the researching of neotropical rainforest photos I've done has yielded nothing that resembles pillow moss. That's why I've switched to leaf litter and Java moss. Your moss, however, looks wonderful.

This is one of the inhabitants of the tank, Pyllobates terribilis. This one has grown so fast I cant beleive he stays that fat!

Looks nice... Be careful though, that looks like long fibered sphagnum moss, wild specimens have been known to have large grubs in them, they eat at the roots of other plants
