    This Holland sand is just probably a type of fine silver sand or river sand, probably originating from Holland, hence the product name. Occasionally the product may not originate from the country mentioned but may be mined elsewhere and shipped here under the brand or product name.

    It's always weird to find out that people name something after your country, while you haven't got a clue what it is, or what it is about. Thanks for clearing that partly up for me. I still don't know what it is like exactly but I thought it would be some kind of fertilizer soil, as that is often said to be used in the holland planted tanks.

    50% done on my Paludarium. I took the 4ft tank. put on top of another 4ft x 2ft height tank as the cover. (Turn it upside down. Then cut off the front glass. Going to get arcylic as the doors.)

    I will get some bog woods and plants. (cork bark for the background) And will fully setup for the top part of the tank.

    Update of my paludarium. It turning out to be my ferns collection tank. All the ferns are collected from road side and somewhere near my living place.

    Nice setup, Dominic but if someone doesn't mind telling me - What's the difference between a Vivarium, Paludarium and a Terrarium? I know what's an Aquarium though

    If I recall correctly,

    Vivarium = any encosure for keeping organisms

    Paludarium = Enclosure incorporating dry and wet habitats

    Terrarium = Enclosure with primarily dry habitat

    Dominic,

    Why do you need to enclose the plants? I mean can't the emerged part of the plants be open to the free air?

    I like your setup.

    Dominic, very inspiring and looking good!

    Due to time constraints and other priorities, I have yet to start on my paludarium, but what is that you have for background in the inverted tank? Sure looks like corkbark to me or did you undress a tree
    I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,

    Loh,
    I believe Rahul answered your question.

    Freddy,
    It is to maintain the humidity of the tank. Some of the plants can't really grow if I open to the free air. My setup causing the heat. Due to I forgotten to place a fan in there to suck out the hot air in there.

    Ronnie,
    Yes. That is corkbark bought from local fish shop. I was searching for it upside down. Just only a shop selling it. Haha...I am not that good to undress a tree.
