O.K. - So i built the stand for my 100 gallon today, cleaned and put in the crushed coral bed. I have an old magnum 350 and a hob double type filter running now. I ran out of prime after about 25 gallons. Smells like a swimming pool but looks great. I think 4 archers and my toadfish and eel (g.tile) will be the stock. Maybe a couple of scats. gonna do plexi around for the top half - gimme some ideas or comments to get my brain flowin again - lol
100 Gal brackish paladarium

OK- no scats, any ideas about tank-mates? or will the archers and my eel and toadfish fill up the 100 gal?
If you can either raise the lights or lower the water that could be good for a riparium setup. Ripariums are generally much easier to set up and take care of than paludariums. I have some mangroves and also some emersed Java fern that could do well in there.
Here is some black mangrove (Avicennia germinans) in a riparium planter.

would be interested in some mangroves, i guess i could try raising the lights up to top and see what it looks like. But the tank is for archers, so that comes first
I suppose then that it would best to lower the water at least a few more inches if you can do that. I bet the archers would love to have some foliage above the water for hunting.
The mangroves and other plants could look really cool, and help a lot with the biological filtration.

Had to drain and refill today because of a leak. Got it fixed. Refilled with some prime and started to add some salt. put some filter media in from my 55 to help with cycle. When can i add fish? so anxious- I'll check parameters tomorrow and then start thinking about fish.
