Hello Everyone!
First time poster but LONG time reader. I got into terrarium building a few years back and it has become a real obsession! I currently have two terrariums for my strawberry pumilios and dwarf cameroon geckos but naturally needed more. When then pandemic hit I bought a 36inx18inx36in paludarium and have been working on designing that. I wanted to walk through my steps and get feedback! Current tanks below

Those are looking really nice! What's the mossy type plant in the second photo in the top right corner?

Gorgeous! What kind of lights are you using?

Ugh! I can not remember the name (which is driving me crazy) of it but it definitely coves lots of ground, loves water and gets these tiny little white cone flowers all over it. In the first picture on the top right you can see one. I just searched and searched and I can not find it...but if I do I will let you know!

Thank you On the bigger frog tank I have a Reptisun LED UVB hood on the front half and a T5 Dual 6500K Aquarium light in the back and on the small tank just a Reptisun LED UVB and a basking light!

Oh cool, I've not seen that one. Is it pretty easy to take care of?

Yes! Extremely easy if it is wet enough. I planted it near the waterfall wall and it has taken over the whole wet side of the tank. Easy to clip back and transplant.
