    completed what I wanted to do over the weekend, added rain bar, connected to a small pump activated every 6 hours for 15 minutes by a timer.... this should keep everything moist...

    Hi kaptan

    Your design of this DIY background and platform really impressive me a lot . I really don't like this but I love it very much.

    Can I ask you.. care to silicon the rainbar with cork bark or some coconuts husk to camouflage the ugly greenie pipeline to look more natural, agree?

    thanks for the kind words.

    I am actually thinking of tearing this apart and set up a 2 feet tank, left side land and right side water......

    due above reason, I am not improving the tank.....

    now watching out to buy a used 2 feet tank for the new project...

    Re: setting up a paludarium

    Hello ,

    Neh. Might consider for future. But for now I have to stick to my current tank. I had just introduced this new tank to my family and it will be the first time my house have pets. My parents havnt fully accept it yet. So I had no choice but to hold on to this first.

    Besides I am still a noob, still learning. Y leh? U help people set up tanks?

    yappyz.

    Glad that you got aquarium, don't worry too much about parents, let them know you love nature and this really help you to relief stress in your hard day work. So your parents will say "bo bian" then you can slowly go for the next adventure with us.
    cheers

    was busy travelling and was not able to reply.....

    I have thought of a exo-terra tank, but decided against it, maybe in the future...

    I have just confirmed buying a used 2 footer and will start on the new project as sketched....

    Re: setting up a paludarium

    This is going to look amazing setup with waterfall.

    Try to give more space on the front ground rather than the "land part" go right to the front glass panel. The reason is you will see the ugly side of land part going to be exposed through the front glass panel. How are you going to filter the water part or create the waterfall? Background?

    Let me know your thoughts
    cheers

    Re: setting up a paludarium

    the land part will be dry am thinking of putting in a panel and seal it off..... now that you said, maybe I would now go look for a container, and have the soil in container and put it into the tank and cover the spaces with aqua soil and plants in water..... waterfall will either be return from canistor or a separate water pump......
