About Yourself: I am a 3D animator that has been an aquarist for about a year... I kept many terrariums in the past 2 years. I was into plants first and it led me from houseplants to keeping terrariums to creating aquariums and paludariums. I spend an average of 10 hours a week keeping up this tank. It is a great joy. Thank you for looking at it. It is an honor to have you view it.

I realy love to do a tank like that. Its amazing. fish avatar despina
My fillter works by drawing water up into the rear of the lid, where there are 4 comparments and drops back in. But i want to make a paludarium. Do i have to change the fillter to an canister type. fish avatar despina
