Axolotl Planted Tank Build

Thanks! It's fairly simple: driftwood, cork, Great Stuff foam (the yellow to give depth), acrylic paint (hide the Great Stuff), filter, pump, tubing, fern, two kinds of ivy, four kinds of moss, a touch of slate, super glue gel (attach the cork to the glass or you can use aquarium sealant, also a touch here and there to attack moss to wall).

The art is just putting that all together. ;)

Incredible! Love all of your little projects. :)

Thank you! I love building stuff! If only there was a way to ship these tanks I could sell them.

Not a great quality video but it gives you a better idea about the waterfalls. :)

Once the sun goes down I can get better still pics of the tank.

That waterfall looks great! o:

Thanks! I love the waterfall! :) Oddly enough the waterfall is almost completely silent. I wish the wood would stay *just like this* forever! But it will get darker as the water soaks into it and some stuff starts to grow on it.

Really hard to get a good pic! The flash bounces off the glass and without the flash it looks really dark. Well, you get the picture. :)

Awesome setup! Do a video when you put the axolotl in please? XD

Off-camera "flash", yo! Get a couple of table lamps and set them up to either side so the light is going through the tank. If you cover them with a thin white cloth or white tissue paper you can diffuse and dim the light somewhat which will probably help too. Then turn the flash off on your camera and see what you get. Might help you get better pics!

Can and will do!!

Until then here is a video when he was much smaller (he's at least twice this size now) eating from chopsticks.
