300 gallon Paludarium build (image heavy)
Thought I would share some photos of our latest project for those that are interested: a 300 gallon Paludarium. Variety of plant species but no fauna for now. We are using approximately 300 watts T5 lighting, it has two waterfall features for water circulation as well as a fan for air circulation. We aren't heating the water (yet) as the apartment stays quite warm. We set this up in one day. It was a long one.
Tank in wall & supplies ready to go in  Constructing the structure using lighting grate, zap straps and plastic crates  Structure complete  Sewing landscape cloth onto structure  Structure covered  Adding soil  Adding plants... :P    Almost complete!   We have yet to add another two inches of water, some floating plants and tidy things up. Over time the ground covers and mosses will grow in and cover most of the exposed landscape fabric. Note to future self: try to avoid soil with perlite. Its great for the plants but floats in water  Will post some more shots once things are settled  -Diana

You might want to ditch the Sarracenia. They don't do well indoors longterm and need a wintering period.
