What kind of glue can you use? For the sand and sticking the foam to the glass?
I love the Arrowhead plant, Syngonium podophyllum, it comes in soooo many leaf and color variations.
I need some substrate suggestions for the land part. I would prefer to use stuff I already have but if need be I can buy one more thing. So far I have about 1/2-2/3 inch of gravel and a thin layer of unused carbon. I have organic potting soil and coco fiber. I thought I had sphagnum moss but it's disappeared. Was thinking a mixture of the soil and some peat? Topped with the coco fiber? IDK. I also have some vermiculite. I don't want to have to buy a big bag of something just to use a handful.

Can't wait to see all the plants in place.
Wy Renegade said:What you eventually desire to place in the this tank should play a roll here. If you're thinking at some point you might like an amphibian or something similar, skip the vermiculite. Other than that I think you are good to go. I went ahead and just mixed my coco fiber in with the organic soil, but have seen where others just toped the soil with the fiber. However, if you have something in mind that will be moving between water and land, I would mix them as they are far more likely to drag the fiber with them into the water.

Either way it is a miraculous transformation!

The Pothos will get rather large for that spot I think, though you could aways trim it to stay in check.
