I currently have an ~3.5" emp that I've had for a few months. Right now she's in a pretty barren, basic setup but I would really love to get her set up in a beautiful bioactive enclosure.
I picked up a 32-quart Sterilite bin and a massive bag of peat moss the other day in preparation.
I must admit I got a little ahead of myself and put the peat in before a drainage layer, so tomorrow afternoon I'm going to take the peat out and put in some drainage and some screen. after that, I was going to put a few plants in and give them time to root up before I put my girl in. Probably around US thanksgiving if I were to ballpark it.
I'd probably just plant some pothos since they don't need much light at all and are just about bulletproof. I was also debating adding some moss that I've grown and maybe a cutting or two of Wandering Jew to add some color to the tub, but I'm not sure how they would tolerate the low lighting.
I was curious about the forum's thoughts. This will be my first bioactive and she's my first scorp, so a lot of this is new territory for me. One of my biggest worries is that she will just tear the plants up when she digs, but she also hasn't shown much interest in digging in her current enclosure.
