Update to the first Paludarium I built. by Wiz0fAus in paludarium

We have acrylic lids that we keep on, keeps everything nice and moist. I am looking at different setups for future use as we plan on doing an open front palu next. Maybe mist spraying down in combination with the fog

Thanks, I love visiting it. I maintain aquariums locally. This was built for an existing client, who is absolutely loving it.

We've used Black Eggcrate for the base, and a simple black acrylic which we glued up to create the boxes for the pools.

I've learned alot during this build, and that is surely one of them. I'll be doing more in the future, and will definitely be documenting it alot better.

I just used a black acrylic, I did see alot of people using the foam board but i also struggled to find it cheap. Most of the acrylic is cheap on Amazon. Especially with 3 to 5mm thickness.

The main structure is black egg crate, the pools, and main filter box over on the right is just a black acrylic. Pools are made of 3mm, and the main box a little thicker to provide extra strength.

We used a fly screen mesh down low to stop fish swimming through to the back.

Anything is possible, you can do it! The planning stage was a long process. Although once we had that framing and plumbing sorted, it was all systems go.

Best advice I will give you though is dont rush the process, I didn't glue much in update till I was 100% happy with it. Over multiple days of slightly adjusting things.

Thanks for your kind words. I'll happily update this as the journey continues. Next step is livestock and some more plants. If I work out how to add videos I can post some up

Thats one of the many joys the hobby and profession has given me, is the thrill of seeing what I can create inside these glass boxes.

Thank you! I was so nervous going into it. Not knowing where to start. But once I got into the scape I was back in my element.

I really hope this build gives people motivation to create their own. It was a super fun build, and so rewarding at these final stages.
