I'm soon to purchase my 3FT Vivarium. But now looking into getting the right theme.

I was thinking about Desert / Canyon theme (although know that sand is a no go).

I quite like the thought of aztec ruins.

Anyone got any suggestions?

That's a good idea, how would you go about cleaning a defecate from a planted vivarium?

Remove as much as you can with kitchen roll.
Use F10 to spray and wipe with damp cloth or just use F10 solution on cloth to rub off.
How easy this is will depend on what the plants are made of!

I think they meant real plants herriot
Welshlamb, if you do a bio active set up correctly then you won't have to clean it yourself the creatures do it alp for you

Yes been advised against this due to humidity. Don't think it's practical now anyway as all vivarium I use are wood. Would have been a cool concept

would have looked very cool, your other option is if you still have your exoterra tank you could buy something that likes humidity so you could have your planted set up
This is my line of thinking as I really want to have a go at a planted setup at some point
