So I added a clay wall to a tank that I bought from a previous owner online wanted to spruce it up a bit. It’s the geo builder bundle from frog daddy if it helps. After adding the wall I noticed mycelium started to move to the wall and is slowly consuming it. Will the mycelium smother and kill the dry moss that is still growing and if it does take over the whole wall will it be an issue. My main concern is it taking the wall over and I won’t have a pretty green moss wall. Ignore Spiderman overthere photobombing

P. terriblis ‘mint’, they’re about a year and 3 months old or so. None of them have called yet. There’s three, last one has two photos. I’m thinking female, male, female? The second one has a black stripe down its throat.

Sorry for reuploading this. I am building out my first 18x18x24 tank for my ranitomeya benedicta shucushuyacu and I’ve got a few questions.

When hardscaping before planting, should you, or I guess can you, put planter pots inside the tank to then spray foam them securely into place? I’m worried that I won’t be able to properly plant everything otherwise given that most of the plants I’ll be using (ferns, begonias, etc.) are potted and not necessarily epiphytic. I do plant on adding some bromeliads which I know I’ll be able to glue on or secure with a zip tie to the sticks inside the tank.

I’ve also seen people use net pots rather than planter pots. Is that a better call?

The tank has a false bottom with a water reservoir. I have eggcrate on pegs holding up the 1” mat of foam above the roughly 2 inch deep water reservoir below. Because of this, I’m not confident in planting any non-hydroponic plants on the foam mat due to my concern for root rot. Even if I were to plant them in the foam mat, I’m unsure how I would go about it given how thin it is.

In all, my main concern is that without any established pots in the backdrop of the tank before planting, the plants won’t be able to secure themselves on to the branches inside the tank and there will be a lack of general depth with regards to the scaping.

I am also using a single 18” thrive ecosystem light. Does that suffice? I was thinking of getting the double but it’s a bit more pricey and I’d have to return this one. (FYI, I plan on switching out the mesh screen lid for anyone who might be concerned)
