Paludarium

[404nottfound]

though yours is one of the best vivs on youtube, its cruel to keep that many fishes in that tiny space

[patihism]

will be my inspiration..

[theoryg]

Awesome like a dream. The next issue is how to have a life elsewhere I would hate to leave home with the new paludariums.

[TheFroggy1989]

looks really nice....awesome set up

[CheJ9393]

It's hard to clean, and maintain the water clear?

[rumirunto]

@CheJ9393 Nope... just some pruning and a water change once per week. It took a few months to become stable like that. This current video is *before* it was stable.

[rumirunto]

@rumirunto I just added an annotation with a link to a current video.

[zuppe33]

@Rumirunto Im looking into making a Palu in a 10 gallon. Do you have a build thread like on a forum for this?

[rumirunto]

@zuppe33 Nope.. sorry

[swtsacrifice]

goodjob

[dragonwolph]

that is EPIC!

[oAToMiX]

how did you get the tree fern background to stay up and what did you use for the waterfall

[rumirunto]

@oAToMiX Glued with silicone rubber. Waterfall is anchored to a slab of cork, and is built out of carves styrofoam and covered with a cork veneer.

[ReptilesAndFriends]

all that in a 10 gallon tank....your amazing.

[rumirunto]

Here's an update, 2 years later:

Sorry, but youtube won't allow me to post an actual link...

[Ankhalianet]

Awesome setup! About how many gallons of water are in there?

[rumirunto]

@Ankhalianet 3 gals on the paludarium itself, 5 more on a sump underneath.

[rumirunto]

@Ankhalianet 7 gals. 2 in the tank itself, 5 in a sump

[IvIustangsvt2003]

looks good. what kind of moss? sorry if you answered this already

[oAToMiX]

what did you use for background



[rumirunto]

@oAToMiX Tree fern root panels and chunks of cork.

[Andyarr]

excellent use of space! I wish I had that much room in my 75 gal tank lol

[sundayBMX125]

looks great! do you have a problem with the fire bellies eating the fish? im working on a similar setup now hoping to have some fish and red eyed tree frogs in it

[rumirunto]

@sundayBMX125 They used to try, but rarely had any luck, so they gave up.  Helps that I feed them lots of crickets.

[lydiaPopil67]

that is one LUCKY frog!! nice job

[AquariumFriend]

[TheSilentWyvern]

A lone firebelly toad. Love it.

[rumirunto]

[acarnivorous]

[901jake]

Sooo bro... When are you coming to help me with my turtle tank? :D nice job

[8SQ]

The platies need at least 20g of space, The neons also need 20g of space. Did you do any research at all? You cant even have a betta in that.

[davimagrin]

[2001ariana]

[skelly4812]

nice

[MrDevil2000]

Hey that is so amazing!

Do you find all your materials at pet stores?

[boas29]

i think it would have been imposible to make that cage any nicer

[ifonlyunew100]

Absolutely brilliant...amazing design but you should give your fish a bit more space. still wonderful though.

[TheDarthloki]

poor fish... not enough space!

[goddessofdivinity]

I would lovee to have this

[DrummergirlKJ]

How did you get the land not to slide into the water?

[canalextranormal]

pff padrisimoo como le haces para que no se moje la parte de las plantas

[mrpetboy1990]

[JapanischErfahren]

Too small for the fish. Come on.

[squrillicker101]

[Nsantmyre1208]

Ur platy looks pregnant :)

[TheBebeholic]

decoration looks naturally and that's awesome...water little bit too shallow for the fish though!

[TheJackmayn]

[1crackit]

[Cetnar]

Good PALUDARIUM so sux for FISH rly men sell her ...

[stickyGecko12345]

How did u do that

[TheKaqpo]

Very nice but you got a lot of fish.

[Vivlover1]

Dude. I would pay you to make that tank for me.

[microiguana]

nice! and this is really in just 10 gallons?

[allaboutfish1996]

im starting one of these for a crayfish soon

[KatzOhki]

Beautiful, this is definitely one of the best looking paludariums out there. This is the kind of thing I've always wanted since I was a kid.

[michaelsw0rd]

how do you keep it so clean?

[Surnrner]

Hey, I found your link on aquaticplantcentral and was just wondering if you could tell me about the construction of the tank? I really would like to make one for my tree frogs and guppies, but I don't know how I'm supposed to do the layering/borders/dividers ect. Can you help me out?

[bnze1]

very good



[punkorbepunkd]

Neons :)

[MrRoccoZ]

Can I live in there?

Haha, but I have a question. Did you use a separator between land and water? Or just pile alot of gravel to make land?

[got2envy]

Can you show a video of how you plumbed it :)

[Goanna0517]

Beautiful setup! I would love to see something just like that on a larger scale, like a 90 or 110 gallon :).

[chlonn2cute4u]

BEAUTIFUL AND CREATIVE I LOVE IT!!!

[rumirunto]

It *was* tough for the first 3 months, but now it's super stable. I just add some crickets every couple of days, a bit of fish food daily, 1/2 gal of distilled water to replace evaporation once a week, and a 2 gallon water change once a month. It's evolved a lot since I filmed this too.

[RaffleReefer10]

@rumirunto awesome! what is the filter for the fish part of it?

[silvanut]

@rumirunto Cool paludarium i also want to do one for my tarantula,could you tell me please how did you manage do do it? Or have you just bought it?

[RaffleReefer10]

@rumirunto update?

[PhenomenonX]

Wow. That is an incredible setup.

It it tough to maintain?

[FlyingFoxintheyard]

That was Beautiful! How did you set it up??
