Gomer, so you're saying it would work in a terrarium?

I'm thinking of setting up a terrarium with Anubias
plants since my submerged Anubias have always made
such wonderful homes for spot and black algae.

I've also got a really spectacular submerged sword that
doesn't fit in my tank anymore. I just pulled it out, but
am so attached to it that I cannot bring myself sell it. So
I'm thinking of putting in the terrarium with the
Anubias. My plans are to create a "waterfall" from the
filter outflow or if that doesn't work, use a pump, to
increase humidity.

Any suggestions would be most welcome.

cheers,
  shireen
