How to build a terrarium?
I have a 45 gal hex (corner) aquarium that I would like to make a terrarium. Id like to tropical, not desert like. I may eventually add a lizard, but is undecided. So where I can start? What do I need know? What plants work best? Where I can find plants and supplies? Where I can find a rock wall, or how to create one? What are my options for creatures that live in it? (Since I do not want a source of water in the tank), but one thing small water dish, as you can. Tank to get a lot of indirect sunlight, do I still need special bulbs? What are some common "problems" that need to be aware that should be avoided? Thanks in advance!
