1, aquifer
This is the most basic structure of household waterscape rainforest tank. This kind of structure is generally called "false bottom", which can be a layer of volcanic rock, ceramsite or lattice slab overhead space. Height 2-5 cm. The function of false bottom is to contain a part of water, so that the land part does not directly contact this part of water, and to prevent the soil medium of the land part from being too high in water content. The water in the false bottom can be the pond reserved at the bottom of the pond, or it can contain excess water infiltrated by spraying or drenching equipment, but no matter what form, water and soil need to be separated.
2. Dielectric layer
Located on the upper part of the false bottom, it is the soil medium for planting ground plants. Because of the closed environment of the rain forest trough, the relative humidity is high, and it is not suitable to choose the substrate with too good water retention, such as peat, garden soil, mountain mud, humus soil and so on. Try to choose granular media, such as grass mud, ruby soil, tung sand, etc. Mix a small amount of coarse sand, peat and bark to become a suitable medium.
3. Bottom floor
There are many ground plants to choose from, such as mini dwarf pearl, nettle, begonia, Guanyin lotus, button fern and so on. The ground plants should not be too high, and the lower the variety, the better. The selected plants should have certain waterlogging tolerance, so all kinds of succulents are not suitable for being placed in the rain forest tank, but the water leaves of all kinds of aquatic plants are very suitable. However, aquatic plants are generally fast-growing plants and must be pruned regularly.
Planting should be divided into foreground and background according to the law of scenery. Low plant species are in front, high plant species are in the back, and low before and high after can create a large depth of field effect.
4. Backplane layer
Epiphytes are the essence of the rainforest. In the rain forest trough, there are usually high backboards and branches of various submerged trees to support various epiphytes, so that the plant density in the rain forest trough will be improved. Generally, epiphytic plants that can be selected are: moss, Ficus pumila, Trachelospermum, lily, anemone, various air pineapples, water pineapples and various epiphytic orchids. These epiphytes can be fixed with thin fishing lines, sheathed iron wires or even glue, and these plants can be replenished with water through conventional spraying systems.
5. Top floor of cylinder
Different equipment can be placed at the top of the cylinder according to the cylinder environment, such as spraying, humidification, ventilation, lighting, control, etc.
