Many thanks

I really like the fact that you are not afraid to use stone, clay and other natural materials to create your setups, and the speed with which the animals adapt to them is a strong indicator you are on the right track.

However i have to say i am always wondering how you can keep them moist enough for the moss to keep growing.
You must have good ventilation right?
What is your ventilation system like and how do you provide the moss with enough light?

Ventilation-

I actually use fairly minimal ventilation in most of my planted setups. This setup comes with an acrylic lid with heaps of 5mm vent holes that needed taping off. Charinus pescotti are tiny little amblypigi from far north QLD forest environments, so having a bit more moisture for them isn't a bad thing.

Lighting-
At the moment, I've got all my planted tanks on the floor in my T room next to a glass sliding door with plenty of indirect sunlight the entire day. But in the next week or 2, I will be moving everything back onto my shelves with new lighting. I've been recommended using white LED strips with 3800 lumens of output or higher to keep plants happy, and I've got some they are about that ready to go

Looks great!!
