I was also inspired by this thread, (thanks alot I didn't really need another hobby ) I picked up a 18x18x24 Exo Terra yesterday. I also ordered a Mistking kit.
Still doing my research but I'm planning on doing the FF mods, maybe use an Aqualifter for a water feature and still not decided on which way to go with the background, either Epiweb or Great Stuff.
I'm ultimately hoping to put in a group of D.leucomelas.
Anyone have any tips for culturing FF's? That's the part I'm most apprehensive about.

Haha Lots of hobbies are good.


Might be interested in selling or trading my terrariums (minus a few of my mini orchids) thinking of making one big terrarium to house all my greenhouse plants, as i cant justify heating a 6'x6' greenhouse for 10 plants. If anyones interested pm me.

I finished my Exo-terra build, should be fruit fly proof and ready for some leucs.
There is a small waterfall and pond powered by 2 Aqualifters hooked up in parallel.
Picked up some cheap plants at Golden Acres, we'll see what grows. Still need to get a couple small broms for the back.
The Mist King is great, the timer can go down to 1 sec.







Thanks for the inspiration you guys!

It looks AWESOME!!! Nice work.

Can you post a picture of the timer? When I bought Mist King stuff a couple years ago there was no timer available from him. (I've never gotten around to setting up a vivarium yet, I'm just pack-ratting the equipment until the day comes that I have time to take care of it.) A timer with 1-second resolution is something I'd love to get my hands on. Can it be sold separately or do you have to buy a whole new kit, do you know?

Sure no problem. They sell the timer as a $28.99 add on, you would think they would sell you one separately.
It came in Mistking packaging with nothing identifiable except the product # on the back.
Tony I ended up with way to much coco bark, substrate material and other stuff so if you decide to give it a go let me know.
So now to order springtails and fruit flies.
