Aiden,

a planted viv will take care of its self so there isnt any need for cleaning as such.... the geckos eat they poop then the plants eat and grow from the poop just like in nature Cool

so no cleaning sweet
would you be able to send me a list of which plants are good in a crested gecko tank.
and you no the coco fiber backgrounds which size would you recommend for the exo Terra 60x45x60 because the large is 1 sheet and doesn't fit the back of the Viv and the medium you get 4 little ones in.

If you go with the 30x30 size you can just attached them next to each other, you dont want them to go right to the base any how as your have a substrate layer.

You would use aquarium silicone to attach them to the glass go around the edges and then a squiggle in the middle.
