My second practice run I'll do a couple more and then I'll get to work on the actual thing. It'll likely be black and white as well

Then you need to make a floating island like this for real in your next tank.
"The ants are a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." Prov. 30:25
Keep ordinary ants in extraordinary ways.

I already had that in the first one. That's where I got the tree from it was on that island. It was way too large tho I thought about making some I just worry it'll look out of place. I'd rather have floating islands in my forest type terrarium where they fit better. I want this one to look more mystical and dark. And the other more friendly and natural

The next one could be just a massive floating island. A tank almost on the floor and this huge floating island wider than the one looking at it. It'll be very hard but I know it's possible I could do some crazy stuff with that.
I have a whole basement I can fill with that stuff. That's not my last setup
