I've had planted aquariums for a couple years, but I want to add a terrarium to my list of tanks. I plan on using mainly marginal plants such as anubias, java fern, java moss, hygro, etc.
I have 110 watts over a 46 gallon tank, I think that should be enough lighting for a terrarium. I use Greg Watson ferts too. Since this is not an aquarium and I wouldn't have to worry about algae, could I add more ferts to the water? If so, how much? (there is about 4 gallons of water in it)
I guess my main question is the substrate. I have some eco-complete, but I don't have enough. I was thinking Moon Sand to since it is black like eco-complete. I was also thinking about adding some peat moss, but I don't know if it would clog up the water pumps or decompose too quickly. What would be a good addition to the substrate?
