TC Plants for a Small Terrarium in a UNS 25TM Prism

Take a deeper look into the full hardscape process as Parker and John build out two distinct terrarium layouts from start to finish in the 25TM and 30TM Prism tanks.You’ll see how each decision shapes the final layout, from hardscape placement to fine-tuning flow, balance, and negative space. The UNS 25TM leans into bold contrast with Red Petrified Stone and Controsand Morocco sand, creating a striking foundation with rich red tones.
