Hi guys.. ive been lurking around in this forum for quite a bit.. thought of doing a setup like the one at tamp mall lfs.. the one with the plants, mosses, waterfalls.. im not too sure if any of you guys know what im talking about firstly, what do you term it as? vivariums/paludariums? i doubt so right? Secondly, where can i get the custom made tank built at a reasonable cost? Thanks

Pictures will help alot. How about browsing our vivarium forum or our vivarium gallery and pick pictures that resemble waht you are looking for?

From your description, it sounds a lot like a vivarium.

I believe you are refering to the setup with waterfall and a mass of water at the bottom.....there is a small space which sells a few fishes and equipment at the basement of Tampines Mall

The shop owner is formally the owner of Mr Fish of Joo Chiat. Have you seen his Altums? They are NICE!! Body length about 5 inches with finage about 1.5 feet.

Everytime I go there sure spend sometime browsing around to get some creative ideas back home. Love to watch the display of the waterfall. The water in tank also super clean & clear cos they use several layers of filter systems (Partition tank) at the bottom for filtering purposes. Honestly, their fish price is so ex ( Air-con shopping centre ). Good to see but pain in the pocket. For those have yet to go down Tamp Mall shopping centre (basement), why not see for yourself @-@... Cheers

Yeah i thought so too.. But those setups i see in the vivarium section are mostly small. The one at TM is 4ft. Thats why im not too sure its a vivarium or there is another term for it. Anyway i've browsed through the vivarium section a million times(ok a bit of an exaggeration, maybe a thousand ). I would love to set one up. Not for frogs but just as a water feature. My neighbour has an extra 3x2x2ft with overflow tank and cabinet that's used for his marine tank previously. Thought of reusing the cabinet. We thought of converting it into something like the one we saw at TM basement. Will try and take a pic if im there again. Cheers

anyone knows where and how much can i custom made that kind of tank? thanks

[flamey]

this is what we did to my neighbour's tank.. any suggestions?

[flamey]

would prefer it to be more 'green' though..

Nice effort flamey. You can start thinking of what other plants to add in. Also maybe you would want to think of a way to lessen the impact of the waterfall. It should be quite loud from what I see in the picture. Any faunas yet?
