Completely unacceptable ... :p

What's the brom? Looks a little like a Vriesea sp. maybe. I really love the miniature broms, there's very little selection (really none) out this way though, I have to mail order everything like that.

i would liek to say thank for , for inspiring me to get back on a 4 month old project.

Looking very nice ! Looks like you're inspiring a few of us. Now I'm going out to garage and dig out my set-up to see what it would take to get it going. What did you do for the flooring, unless I missed it somewhere ? And yes keep the pic's coming.

Thanks everyone! Raf now wants to tear down our amazon tank and make it a terrarium. Addictive!

The substrate is river pebbles, large enough to allow water movement through them. I stacked them using wood and petrified wood as barriers. Then a layer of re-moistened dry moss (for reptiles), then a layer of sphagnum peat moss, then the layer of living moss. Stream feature provides dampness to the top of the "hill". :)

What a fabulous idea to use petrified wood by the way. What a great look. One thing I've always noticed with paludariums is the stark contrast between land and water (ie., tank looks great except for the black siliconed in baffle kind of thing or something like that). But petrified wood to the same end ... brilliant! :)

That is a fantastic looking Paludarium... :mrgreen:

Are these tanks a lot of work? They look fascinating but I'd be scared of environment a meeting environment b and making a mess! Either way I love what you've done.

'Energy' off the large tank forum on RC turned his massive reef into one of these. Don't have the link handy but it's crazy.

For a Paludarium, any advantage running a sump?

Friend picked up a chipped, drilled 240g. Been sort of sitting until figure the right way to get started.
