So, you said there is gravel at the bottom. What kind is it? And what is the rest of the media? And what are the temps in the terarrium?

Looks like a great setup :D Keep us updated.

ps - congrats on the nep seeds. and how is your TC going?
Thanks! The gravel is just the coated aquarium stuff, nothing special. I wish I had a better answer for the media, but I put it together based on feel rather than percentages. If I had to guess, I would say ~ 60% peat, 30% perlite, 10% low pH sand.

Still trying to figure that one out. The nep is potted, so I can remove that easily and put the whole tank into dormancy- or I may transplant them closer to winter time. I want to put together a bigger terrarium still, so I haven't quite decided what my plan will be.
