How to Build a Paludarium
What's a Paludarium? I'm not really sure but this thread will outline methods I used to construct one.
Step one, shut down your reef tank. Nothing in there will be useful for the remaining steps. This concludes step one. |

Step Two: Background.
I wanted something 3 dimensional that would hold some plants and act as a water feature. Only option was to build one from scratch so I picked up some rigid foam and some spray foam and got to work. Foam outline and pots all siliconed in place Spray foam going on After burning through 2 cans of the expensive black pond foam rather quickly I just decided to continue with the standard great stuff. Then I curved out the exist to reveal a more rock like structure. After one coat of Quickwall Cement with Acrylic Fortifier Next layer had brown cement coloring added Final Layer has charcoal coloring |
