    could you do a terrarium as usual but use full aqua soil as the substrate? i was always curious for the effectivity of aqua soil (i imagined it could eliminate the need for drainage layer and it looks cleaner compared to dirt). Thanks!

I want do redo it with the right substrate. How in the world do I catch and remove the isopods so I can redo it?

    You are obviously really smart so why can't you get your emphatics right? It's really distracting, the context leads you to expect what you're saying then you use the wrong emphatics and leave you wondering what you missed. forest FLOOR if you're just casually talking about a forest floor but if you've been referencing a kitchen floor then switch to FOREST floor THAT's when you switch the emphatic! Why can't millennials speak their own language? AND those are not CHEST nuts the HAZEL nuts or Kentish Cob since they're so big, still Hazel nuts. OMG!

    The terrarium is gorgeous. I also have one and many tell me it's beautiful. cmq is mine you can see at 180 ° since I tried to make a fake 3d background with expansive foam ... I wonder but the plants are bought or taken from nature (park, forest, forest ..) and then inserted inside. to me it works fine . The plants inside now how are there updated videos ? Can I show you my terrarium, if so where? do you have instagram ?greetings Maxim
