Hi!
It is a long time since I am thinking to built a Paludarium. After many projects and drawings, I have decided to built one that should look like this (at least at the upper floor) :
Inspiration comes from this :
So, the plan looks like this :
- basic tank, 100/30/60 with independent filtration, CO2, ... everything like in a clasic tank.
- upper floor, 100/15/30 with independent water circulation, planted, divided in three section, disposed asymmetrically, with a relatively central waterfall area.
I have to find a solution for building the upper floor so the front line to be hidden by stones and plants. Also, need to have there a water circulation according with each plant needs.
Main problem I found to be the light. I will have a suspended lamp for the top of Paludarium, thsi si clear. But, for the basic tank ... Maybe a submersed lamp? Here I need (but not only this) some advice.
One more think. It will be a dry start. This means everything will be covered in a plastic tent, isolated, in which I intend to get a greenhouse effect.
Plants, fish, ... any advice very welcome! My intention is to use only aquarium plants growth emersed (Anubias, HC, Bucephalandra, Ludwigia, ...) and a Bonsai tree made by myself.
Again, any advice, comment ...
Thanks!
