My new obsession
 
This might even spell the end of my 120g saltwater tank on the stairs

A paludarium in the making, this is going to go into a 29g bowfront aquarium, I haven't decided if it will house dart frogs yet but killifish are a must :lol:

Honestly that looks dreadful, totally unnatural; I'm pretty sure a better job could be made than monofoam.

Just saying.

Well that was a beautifully abrasive comment :neutral:, I think it looks pretty good Marie! Will you be changing the color of the white foam by any means?

Subscribed, I'm a big fan of paludariums will you be using an ultrasonic fogger in the enclosure?

And if I can make a suggestion, Archer fish would be a very good addition here!

I totally agree :lol: but that is just the background. Foam is a lot lighter then rock and wood and can be molded and carved easily.....unfortunately I have to wait for the foam to dry before I can cut it to shape and cover it with peat moss, wood bark ect and then plant the plants

I thought of a fogger but I haven't decided for sure, there is definitely going to be a waterfall. A lot of space behind the foam is open for the pump and heater

Can't wait to see how this evolves!!!! Foggers do look very very cool! But they get fairly warm to touch....we had an Exo Terra Fogger in our ET Waterfall, in the middle little pool and it did get quite warm..but did it ever look cool!

The ultrasonic fogger in my Red Eye Tree Frog enclosure literally boiled the frogs alive. Certainly has to be put on a timer otherwise it superheats the water :(.

Marie,

I have friends locally who breed lots of different types of killifish. Let me know what you're interested in & I'll hook you up. I also know a couple of people who may have dartfrogs that I can ask.

Anthony
