I really want to make a terrarium or vivarium that mimics or replicates a cave system, possibly with like moss and mushrooms and maybe also blind insects or fish or something, real limestone stalactites/stalagmites, and crystals I've grown.

IDK if that is possible, I read this like, 20-page kids' book trying to learn more about how caves develop to get ideas.

It's VERY short and VERY basic and definitely, er, for kids. I learned a couple of things, though.
