i am thinking of building a paludarium to merge my 2 tanks together as the creatures in them have begun to thin out and this would take up less room... is this a good way to go about building this?
Oh oops. The file didn't attach I guess? Yeah I am thinking about housing my land hermit crabs with the contents of my 10 gallon freshwater. I would use glass and aquarium sealant? To hold back the water from spilling over into the sand side and allow the sand to spill into the water side creating a beach so they hermit crabs may be safely in the tank.
Yeah as long as you make it so the hermits can't drown that would be pretty cool!
Most likely your hermit crabs will burrow into the water rather than the land side, and when they do they are constantly kicking up the sand into the water. It is hard on your filter. Other than that, it should work fine.
