My pump broke this morning so I'm gonna leave It off now.

​

The Elodea was fully submerged and I could hardly see it but now it's stretching across the surface, I think it's like an underwater forest in there as I added 24 stems and my hornwort has branched out like crazy, the duck weed was 1 tiny piece 😂 , I might get an underwater camera so I can see what's going on down there and see if I have anymore life apart from snails and mosquitos.

I'm not sure if this one counts as a diorama, I have made the backgrounds, floor and fences.

I'll be making them their own shelf just like my Predator 2 collection, I'm keeping Feral on this shelf because he's from the same director Dan Trachtenberg.

My dad always had the tape ready for me so I could re watch all day lol I was mutant mad and always wanted to be on the team, the good old days aye 🦸

​

The blue barrel was a 200 liter that I chopped in half and I used the second half as insulation, there's 16 hornwort and 24 Elodea along with some Frogbit and gravel, there's plenty of access to get in and out, and I've actually seen wood mice and birds using it, there's now snails in there (probably from my plants) and there's also blood worms, back swimmers (adults and babies) water moth caterpillars, waterboatmen and I think some dragon fly nymphs, I'm pleased with how it's all coming together nature wise, and the willow branch is growing which will also filter the water by drinking nitrates and give me a bit of green growing up and over, I'll keep the roots trim and every winter chop the green back so it doesn't over grow, the tannin colour is from the logs but is natural and water is really clear

The blue barrel was a 200 liter that I chopped in half and I used the second half as insulation, there's 16 hornwort and 24 Elodea along with some Frogbit and gravel, there's plenty of access to get in and out, the second is a 12 liters paint tray, the full thing looks really green but the actual water is clear this also has hornwort and Elodea and I'm not using any pumps.

The blue barrel has been set up for about 12 days now whereas the black tray has been out for about 3 weeks, both ponds have lots of larvae mostly midge and mosquito and I'm hoping the predators are in there or on their way. Oh and there's water moth caterpillars as well in both.

It's the Westminster dinosaur collection, there are 3 different types, silver(limited), gold(rare) and black(ultra rare) there blind packs so you don't know what you have until you open your pack, this time I got silver.

My dad used to tape all the episodes for me and I watched them constantly, I wish I still had the tapes.
