Hope this is the right category to put this thread in…
In October 2013 I started a paludarium with a water segment of about 160 l. It’s now inhabited by 2 species of dart frogs (dendrobates auratus and ranitomeya amazonica) and below the waterline mainly Green neon tetras, Marbled hatchetfishes and Checkerboard cichlids. Thought I share some pictures of the building process and growing stages. Some pictures include explanations, in Swedish , Google translate is advised.
The tank is 150 cm high. Here is a sketch of the the shape of the tank seen from above.
The base consists of XPS Styrofoam (covered in black silicon and xaxim), some epiweb , xaxim plates and Ben´s Rainforest Background Modellier Torf.
Newly planted...
A Swedish description of how the water system works...
And just some random pictures taken during the last year...
If you wonder about the lack of water segment pictures it's due to a serious cyano problem. It's just a mess... I'm going to try a blackout in a couple of days and see how that works...
