Re: Vivarium/Paludarium.
Dominic,
I have a 48"L x 18"W x 18"H tank that has paludarium written all over it but it's still on the drawing board.
Besides 2 rather huge pieces of driftwood that has plenty of 'pockets', nooks and crannies, I was thinking of including aquatic plants that I've been growing emersed (ferns, crypts and echinodorus) but final plant list will depend on available budget. If it shoots sky high, I'll go with terresterial plants that don't require alot of light and care.
There will also be moss (not sure which type) that will have water fed via drip irrigation tubes, connected to a distributing 'octopus' (8-outlet distributor) and concealed pump. I might consider cork bark for background and will have killifishes, of course , in the shallow water column.
As I said, everything is in planning stage but unlikely to work on it till after the Lunar New Year (it's killie breeding season now, so I already have my hands full). Will update again when I begin the project.
BTW, you've got 2 nice tanks going! (but I suggest lower resolution images for future updates... it takes a long download time for those on dial-up connection)
I'm back & keeping 'em fingers wet,
Ronnie Lee
