Hi Everyone
I'm starting my journal for my Foresta 35e Paludarium. There is a backwall filter with a pump and an Atomizer which creates fog. The filter water trickles down the plant mats on the back wall. The fog flows out the top and down the backwall, keeping the plants moist. The back wall has slots to insert moss covered plants mats. I really like the concept of an aquarium which leads up and out into hardscape and plants out of the water. My aim was to recreate a slice through a river bank showing under the water and the bank. I wanted a relatively clean sand river bed, river bank with Anubias and Bucephalandras and a land part with plants growing out of the water into the air. The backwall sponges are covered with various mosses and a few plants (see below).
