Heres another update of my terrarium with my new plants :)
My set up fish tank gravel and airsoft bbs for drainage and a pump to pump oxygen into the water then a layer of old jeans to soak up the water and a mix of sphagnum peat perlite on top. And in earlier pictures the usb fan for air circulation
