Hey :) Today was cleaning day and after putting everything in place I thought it was worth a picture.

That's the overall look (90x45x45 cm viv'):




I've been collecting the things I liked from several stores and eBay, and the background sticked at the rear and outside the viv is "handmade", meaning I picked a picture off internet and printed it. I liked it because it reminded me of Gladiator's landscapes (am I alone on this one?) and the corn field was quite appropriate. It turned out darker than expected though, so I might try to print something else if I find a cheaper store.

And that's Discordia wandering about...


Any input?

I've been thinking about adding Buddha to one of my vivs...

I'm going to second BB's comment about ground cover; if you get a second one of those 'Ivy' strands and make loops you could fill the space quite nicely.

And... Your warning label has an incorrect picture (why not put Discordia's pic there?)

Overall I like it.

Thank you :) I am quite happy with how the viv has turned out!

I do agree with you guys that I should put some more ivy; I bought 275cm off eBay and it took a month and a week to get there... And that's what it is! I am amazed at how many you need to cover a decent amount of space! So next time I'll get supplied in a closer store

And Thorne Walker you're absolutely right, I should have put D in that warning label! But I suck at photoshopping stuff so I went for the lazy version and printed it as is. Ain't that bad after all :p

Lovely Maybe needs a little more ground cover just to make it perfect, but I love the statue.
