A special shot of my dog Suri.

Hope everyone enjoys!

They must feel right at home in that tank, so tropical! I'm curious about the underground moss pit: how did you make it? I can see that it's built into a sand hill but what did you use for the container? How are you able to remove or moisten the moss?

Love the dog, by the way! I'm a big fan of all terriers :D .

@Crabinski Thank you! I just used a fish bowl and am going to spray inside once and a while (It has easy access.) We love terriers too! She's a wire fox. Hope everyone enjoys!

I'm loving that climbing piece! It looks so fun, I want to try! :lol:

Best to keep an eye on the coconut ramps to the pools, I could see the potential for all the water to wick out of them and flood your tank.

Thank you for the feedback! I will hopefully be getting plastic mesh, but this was a temporary solution. :)

I love your set set up ! Question are those fake plants in the bubblers or real ? I'm in process of setting mine up and want to add plants to my pools.

Love your tank!! Beautiful and natural looking :D The center climbing piece is my fav - I would have never thought to put fishnet over it but I love the look! We also have an underground moss pit but being the nosy person I am ( like a helicopter parent really ) we put it against the glass so we could spy on them a bit :wink: . Such cute hermies and Love Suri!! I'm a total dog fan!

The plants are fake. I would've put in real plants but my crabs would destroy them. ;)

Thank you Kermie16! I have seen the moss pit at pet smart and my crabs seem to love it! I think they use it more because it's dark.
