New Paludarium with Pictures! Need HELP! (load warning)

That is going to be an amazing setup! I love the European look of the Fluval tank and stand... very sleek.

What is the main viewing angle of the tank? From the left? I saw the table over there. I would probably have put the driftwood on the opposite back corner, to increase viewing space into the tank from the left side. But what do I know... I never like my own tank designs.

Natalie has a good point on the trunk placement. as far as the false land could cover some egg crate or Styrofoam to make the land area. other wise maybe look at riparium supplies a raft system that you put plant on that us stick on the side of the tank.

look through these set up on another forum.

Thanks guys, it will likely go in the left corner instead of the right. I considered that too.

Of the room, not the tank.

This tank is so nice J. I love the Osaka series. How thick is the background? (how much room is behind it?) I ask because would it be poossible to pack the back with foam, drill holes in the BG and plant in those holes? Using the foam as bio like a sponge and a splace for the rplants to take root? A submerged pump (hidden behind the tree) with a mech attachement would handle the mech portion. I have 100 lbs of Careabsea sand with your name on it still. Very nice stuff.

Haha you don't want to live by me. I give away a lot of stuff but you have to help me move a lot of tanks! I'm heading over to clockworks here in a few hours to kick off on this tank

I personally would try my hand at riparium techniques with this set up. This will allow the corys with more swimming room and since you're looking to set up in the corner, it would be very easy to do.

Haha, I just realized the black "platform" line is below the water line. Let's just pretend it's a little bit higher.

You could still have the platform just below the waterline for many terrestrial plants.


The only think I would change would be to add another filter intake (perhaps from another small canister with a hidden underwater outlet for a bit of circulation).
