    @eddy:

    Depending on how deep the water section will be, and the eventual water parameters, you can have all sorts of fish in there. By the way, if you need floating plants, I got a ton of Salvinia to give away. Don't mind contributing them to your tank.

    I would suggest using Copella arnoldi, if you're going with an Amazonian-style set-up complete with bromeliads and other broad-leaved plants. Then you can see them doing the egg laying thing on overhanging leaves. IMO, more fun than keeping Archerfishes, since those guys require a brackish set-up.

    Thanks for your awesome advice, Storm!

    Pass me some Salvinia,

    But where can i find this rare Copella Arnodi! How's many this splash tetra can i keep?
    cheers

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    I remember seeing them at C328 some time back. Probably Gan's fish farm has them. You can keep several pairs in your tank. If you want the Salvinia, drop me a pm with your contact. I'll sms you directly eddy. Collection's in Bukit Batok. I still got a lot of them in my 4 foot tank.

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    I gathered my flow rate might be too strong if I have a 800 pump. I will look for 400 or 600 pump (if any). Still thinking...External ones might not be a choice at the moment...too strong. Although very tempting, I know can't for the moment.

    I drew out the 1st concept, rough one and posted in Operation Maximus.

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    Hi folks

    Here it is, finally my first ever 6ft paludarium is now almost 80% complete when the water piping system, waterfall and with the flora in place. I wanted to purchase humidifier, mini ventilation fan, misting system and more flora yesterday but unable do do due to I'm now on biz trip till next 20 Dec. Hopefully this 6 ft palu will be a blast Xmas present for me!

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    Looks nice! What other plants are you intending to grow in there?

    The water flow seems a little noisy, but I'm guessing that because of the way the mic in your video camera picked it up?

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    Hi Eddy,

    Nice work on the paludarium so far. You used the whole bag of Salvinia I gave you? It carpets the water surface real fast in bright light and with some liquid fert dosed.

    Yeah like Fuzzy, I noticed the water flow is quite noisy. Sounds like an impeller hitting something. Is it coming all from a single point? Because if you diffused the flow over a wider area, it might reduce the noise.

    Thanks for the comments..folks

    yeah, you right. Do you notice when i video cam at the back of the support and you may notice there bubbles flow out from the pipe, actually the water level is half the height of my return pump ..not enough water to suck out .

    Yes i poured all out..still very little. Can i have more please.

    Let me know your thoughts
    cheers

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    very nice indeed Eddy! More plants would be great!

    Some suggestions in deco and plants... I found this nice Palm Tree Pod/Flower at World Farm very nice, its hard and woody

    Plants wise maybe a Neoregelia or a nice big Vriesea as centre piece? For the background maybe Dischidia or Lycopodium Squarrom (all of them can be found at World Farm as of last sat)

    Can have 1 or 2 Begonia to cover up the Hose outlet too

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    Perhaps you might want to consider changing the pump to a smaller one? Or filling the water up to a higher mark? If the pump is not submerged by water, it might overheat within the impeller's chamber and burn out. I'd rather not risk that if I was you.

    As for the Salvinia, I can pass you another bag. Harvesting again later or tomorrow, because they're spreading AGAIN.

    Re: 6ft vivarium

    Good job brother. You have to fill up the water higher as the pump needs to be fully submerge in order not to overheat.

    You need some fishes in the water to keep the insects away.

    if you pipe the water up the to backdrop and let it stream down, you may not even need to mist it. By the way, if you split the water flow into two, the splashing noise will also be reduced.
