Nice pics!! Tarev yes agree the amount of shade rocks provide is perfect for semps!!! One difference for you Paul is that it is so dry where you are, I'm not sure if they'll like that better or less so than where Tarev is...Either way I'd say do what you did for the other semps...Morning sun is what they like best I have found
Chicken grit is crushed granite and for me here they have 2 different sizes #1 or #2 and I use the #1 because it is more fine. The small offsets are able to push their roots out easier than other things I've used, and yet it keeps a bit of water but not too much!
The cilliosum types have always seemed fussy to me I have a couple and they look sad!
