Hi All.
I'm planning on setting up a carnivorous plant terrarium using an old fish tank and I was wondering if you could give me some advice.
The tank I am going to use is a small 'Aquael' tank with a lid (example link coming shortly) as it contained a goldfish in it a few months ago.
My questions are:
1) how do I ensure airflow as the only hole is the feeding hatch in the lid and I don't have the money/skill to modify the tank further?
2)Is the 15watt T8 lihgt sufficient or do I need to replace the bulb with something more suitable?
3) I am intending to plant my Cape sundew in there once its fully restored to health (i nearly killed it a few weeks ago) do you have any noncarnivorous plant suggestions as my venus flytrap and Sarracenia Purpurea Venosa need dormncy?
Many thanks and kind regards Carl Wood.
PS: Here is the fishtank I have: https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/142637478372
