3 Months Later: My first attempt at a paludarium build and 5th & largest tank; previous being a 10 gallon. The tank serves a few purposes: a greater environment for my consolidated livestock, a longtime goal to have an earth, water & open air ecosystem, a focus for meditation & really, just something beautiful to gaze at after a stressful day.

A small water pump & air stone are on order.

It’s a MarineLand 75g stand & tank set, Fluval 207 filter, Malaysian wood from Pet Kingdom with some manzanita from previous tanks, elephant skin stone as a primary hardscape with assorted black volcanic rock & some dragon stone from my previous tanks, some nook units from PetSmart, all my aquatic plants from those previous nano builds, the light is from Amazon as is the Buddha statuette, crystals from the Gem Fair and lastly, terrestrial plants from City Nursery. The under frame is several cut Sterilite mini plastic crates tied to together in a modular fashion inspired by Dennis Wong. Thanks & respect to all the creators on YouTube for the inspiration & motivation: Green Machine, Cinescaper, Green Aqua, MD Fishtanks, Dustin, Aquarium Co-op, Minh Ho, KG, Foo, SerpaDesign and many, many others.
