Shortly after starting up my first aquarium (planted or otherwise) in this 55gal tank I saw pictures of paludariums and knew that I had to have one. Fast forward 2.5yrs and the time has finally come. We had to treat the house for termites and as such, all inhabitants of the planted tank had to be removed during the process. What a perfect time to rescape the tank. I rehomed all the fish and relocated my colony of RCS to a 5gal bucket with a cycled sponge filter and heater. This is going to be a lightning-quick build as I want to minimize the time the RCS spend in a bucket.
I started with a sheet of light diffuser, 48lb of rock, Malaysian drift wood (also carried over), and a can of pond foam.
The return is on the viewer's right and will flow through the hollow section of the upper driftwood (I hope
).
Terrestrial Plants:
I honestly have no idea other than pothos and maybe swiss cheese.
Aquatic Plants:
TBD mosses
Anubias nana (only plant I kept from the previous setup)
Animals:
Red Cherry Shrimp (carried over)
Amano Shrimp (carried over)
White Cloud Minnows
Mechanics:
Ehiem Pro4+ Cannister
In-line heater
