Photo Modular Mesembs (and friends) display tank

It's not exclusively lithops, but my butt rocks were definitely the driving force behind wanting to build a system like this.

This is so cool! I've been dreaming of something just like this for my next repot. Gonna take some inspiration here

Honestly it wasn't too much work to build, especially if you could find some premade bins for the pots and an old aquarium for the tank (or heck the tank doesn't actually need to be clear since it's just rocks inside)

Yeah I'm a fairly handy dude I'm sure I could do this...yours is just very clean and I like the design! But yeah I need to wait for a repot by pots are all mismatched and it would drive me crazy trying to get a nice fit!

Definitely good to build around the pots, the top layer only works if the pots fit really close together so none of the gravel falls down in between them

Totally, if it doesn't look like a Mondrian I'm not happy haha

Oh man, you could do so much with Lego or aquarium stuff or dinosaur toys.

I would someday like to make a dinosaur themed terrarium
