My Mini Vivarium

UPDATES-Philip and Michael went and hunted for some moss and its in great shape, i put it in the tank and i think it makes a nice difference. still got more to do plus the second tank..

My test tank. I did a small tank so that i could figure out how to do it..the mistakes here i hope not to repeat in the next tank. I have to say the pics look better then the real thing..amazing what lights can do.
