I am awaiting the arrival of 7 juvie A.callidryas about 1-3/4". I setup this 60 hex for them using the help of BlackJungle.
Comments aand suggestions are always welcome. As they grow I plan to add larger leafed plants.I still have to add a branch to the pool so they have an exit, just in case!
It's a bit shiny in the pic as the misters had just gone off.

Nice job. What kind of lighting are you planning to use. To keep the plant life thriving you should invest in a proper light. There is high lumine flouresent lights available through hydroponic growing supply stores. A nice light will make a big difference in the plants surviving vs. thriving. Clint

Wow thats nice. Would you clean something like that or just changing the water is enough?
I have plants in one of my terrariums the crickets were a nightmare they ate holes in plants. Than I switched to roaches now its okay.

Aside from occasional grooming of the plants there is very little upkeep. The water feature is run by a Duetto 100 submersable filter. I have built a hatch-like panel that lifts out above the filter for access.
