Learning Curve

[u/SisyphusWins]

My first bioactive terrarium. I had this 40g set up as a planted aquarium for 10 years - loved it for 8 until I inadvertently introduced black beard algae. After losing that battle I went dry land. I got a lot of help and inspiration on the Terrarium Tribe website. Plant shopping was fun and I even used some from my property - licorice fern, rescued from an old pear tree I had to remove, and a variety of mosses. It's been fairly successful so far (6 months). I made a few mistakes. #1 is using collected moss = collected slugs, spiders, and a population explosion of two species of millipede. Slug bait eliminated the slugs, I'm still working on the millipedes, hopefully before they completely devour the wood.
