Hi there.
Its time to show you all my paludarium, build from an old aquarium.
Sizes: 106x107x35 (yeah its not to deep.)
Behold.
The aquarium at the beginning.
![]()
I've build a nice place for it to stand on
![]()
Taken care of the aquarium.
![]()
The lightsource and the false bottom with the viv in between.
![]()
Total shot, after the paint + epoxy
![]()
Building of the background.
![]()
More isolation foam
![]()
And after a couple of day's
![]()
Coated with peatdust and tile adhesive (roughly translated from dutch to english, i really don't know if you guys know these products by these names)
And for further information:
I'm using an falsebottom, all the water from the bottom is filterd and pumped up again to the waterfall.
There are 2 PL lights in the lightsource, and i'm gonna need to attach something to keep the fruitfly's out of my room and the frogs frog climbing to the lights.
This is my first viv i've ever build, i've been reading these forums for the past years to gather information and now its my turn to build one.
When the front windows are in place, i'm gonna check the humidity etc. for a couple of weeks.
And then decide what frogs to pick.
Hope you'll enjoy these photo's, because there will be more in the future
(Btw the last 2 pics are huge... is there an code to shrink them?)
