Can anybody help me to identify what moss this is in my terrarium? ☺️

Looking to start a terrarium and wanted some input on terrarium size and difficulty. Had the idea to put one in my fireplace and hide a light in the chimney since I never use it. So, I was thinking of getting a 15 gal tank since it would fit nicely. After mulling it over, I figured I’d ask if terrarium care varied much depending on tank size. Are larger tanks more difficult to care for? Would I be better off trying to make a small terrarium before I spend a decent amount putting together a 15 gal size tank and everything? Thanks!

My pellionia repens pulchra’s leaves have doubled in size since I put it in this terrarium! Great terrarium plant, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants a cool climbing plant.

Okay I need help! I have been wanting to make my own terrarium for a while now. I’ve done a lot of research but everyone makes it different. Also I’ve search all my local plant store for supplies and can’t find any. Where can I buy all the essentials? What plants work best in them? Where can I buy them plants and moss? Please help!!!

It’s hard to see with the lighting is there anything I can do to fix the lighting?

Hello can anyone help me identify these? They are in my terrarium soil which houses spring tails and isopods. All of a sudden there is a lot of these eggs things at the bottom layer of soil. The green at the bottom is the liner. Thanks in advance

I have this terrarium that’s now infected with fungus gnats. I closed the lid to trap the insects hoping they don’t escape to my other house plants. Should I buy hydrogen peroxide and spray inside? Or should I quickly place sticky traps in there? It doesn’t need watering for a while.

Do you think a planted aquarium could be posted here as there's no where else for me to post them?

Made my first terrarium last night through a class at a local greenhouse. I love it so much and hope it survives! I have it in a north facing window (I live in Colorado). I don’t particularly want to use a grow light for aesthetic reasons. Has anyone had success with natural light for their closed terrariums?

does anyone have fish tanks and bioactive enclosures for their reptiles? I'm watering my plants with the fish tank water and just now had the idea to water my bioactives with it as well...... would that be okay or safe for my leopard geckos?
