A New Way to Grow Terrarium Plants

Interesting, with this system I assume it would be easy to remove excess water from the bottom either by taking a plant out and pumping out the water or having a drainage system built into the tank? Why not build levels that can rest ontop of the bottom level to fill the vertical space.
Also perhaps some of the planter holes can be square to allow for square pots, which would also give more room for more plants.

Thanks!

Yes it is easy to siphon the drain water out by just lifting out a plant and sticking a water-filled hose down into the void space.

The vertical space gets filled up plenty well enough by plants and other features, such as driftwood stumps.

Finally I got back to getting some new pictures of my 37G. I have started putting plants in here...



This was just a random selection of plants among the ones that are looking good right now. I might have tried to use some kind of theme, such as using only palms, but I think I like the way these plants look together.

I have also spent the afternoon cooking leaves and ABG mix at 325F...the house stinks bad!

Tonight when I get home again I am going to start belach sterilizing and repotting all of these plants. I hope I can pull it off without wrecking these nice specimens!
