So no build pictures on this one. It evolved fairly quickly over the course of the school year as two different groups of students worked on it. This one is dedicated to our native Boreal Chorus frogs, which I've housed in some of the other paludariums previously. The others are big enough that...

15 gallon paludarium set up in the traditional eggcrate style. This tank successfully incorporates a small water feature using a Repti Flow 200 pump.

When looking into Paludariums, consider the turtle tanks with the cutouts for the HOB filters.

Its built in - hides underneath the intake cover. You have to remove the cover and then turn to adjust the flow rate.

Anybody have any suggestions on how to throttle this pump back without shortening its life span? Set up our newest paludarium and incorporated a water feature out of a log, which works great, but the pump shoots the water over the top of our river, so need to throttle the pump back. Never mind...

Anybody have any experience with this nano tank? Curious regarding other's experience with this particular nano. Just purchased one yesterday, set it up with ADA soil, a nano anubias and a clump of mixed liverwort and Java moss. Modded the filter (which has a pretty significant flow) with a...

Thanks, I first had the emergent growth pattern show up on a piece of wood that was in the salamander paludarium. Thought it was pretty awesome, so been using it every sense. A little hard to get growing onto something below the water line sometimes, but once it is established it just goes...

End products looks nice, but you've spent a lot of money on 2x material that you didn't need. Of all those top boards you put in, less than 10% have anything at all sitting on them, so they aren't supporting anything regardless of the weight of the tank. Also forum users should be aware that if...

Haven't done this in a while, so we will see how the images do. Attachment is a photo of Java moss growing below the water line and emerging up onto the rocks in my 20 Long Bog tank The Bonsai tree I've used is the fiscus...

LOL natural kitty litter (i.e. baked clay), in a tall column to create a anaerobic area. Easy enough. The laterite to add iron back in might be a bit more difficult as it is mostly sold as a powder.

As I sit back and survey my fishroom while sipping my favorite adult beverage, I can't help but be impressed by the amount of greenery which currently resides in most of the tanks. Now, I'm not going to lie and tell you that those plants are in perfect health or that I don't have issues with...

Perfect thank you, will check it out. Replacement of micronutrients etc. as well as removal of toxic substances. Unless one has a complete regiment of dosing materials you run the risk of old tank syndrome if you aren't doing any water changes.

So in a saltwater tank one uses a deep sandbed or life rock for denitrification. I doubt biomedia, given its porosity is going to create much of a anaerobic zone, so what would you suggest as a denitrification media. I will check out Kevin and see what he suggests. Not a real fan of throttling...
