I need some help on the design of my paludarium and wondered if anyone could help?
I don’t want to go for the paludariums where the aquatic side is limited, however, try for a living wall and a decent sized area of water for aquascaping.
The design that I have gone for is below:
The tank is from @Aquariums4life (btw if you are thinking of buying a tank their customer service is simply amazing).
The backwall is going to be a Epiweb IIS self watering Panel. I want to place a fogger in the back to allow additional moisture for emmersed plants (Buce). I understand that the pump/ fogger will run for 5 or 10 mins on 5 occasions over the day (this is the plan).
I will need to run an external filter to manage the bio-load and flow. I will go for Co2 via a inline diffuser and in-line hydor heater.
I am struggling with five issues (so far):
1. How wide and where should the hole be to allow the lilly pipe and eternal flow to enter the tank? I have marked where I think it should be…
2. Should I go for an external ultrasonic fogger or an internal one?
3. If I should go for an external how big should the hole for the fogger pipe be? I haven’t bought it yet and the websites that I have looked on don’t specify the diameter of the pipes.
4. If internal, how does the reservoir operate. I guess this is how ADA DOOA Mistwalls work?
5. How do I distribute the fog so it evenly cascades down the wall rather than pumps out in one bit. I have reviewed the Green Aqua video, however, they seem to have used a work-around for the video but not explained how it works.
Any advice would be very, very gratefully received!
Inspiration came from a Green Aqua video (cutting holes is at 8.00mins in).
