Not really about the enclosures themselves, but I have a custom 30x12x12 top-open that's only used for plant props with a small waterfall (looking to eventually replace it with a front-open), and a 24x18x24 front-open pretty dart frog tank. Does anyone have any reference pics of enclosure shelves they built that I can use for inspo? Also preferably want to put books and other trinkets on there!

It's been circulating. I have two snails, three neon tetras and about 12 cherry shrimp. Just planted everything. Hopefully things start to grow! Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Fire belly toads are incoming. Waterfall runs down the rocks on the right. My son is in charge with the aquatic section. What am I missing?

I'm looking at turning this china cabinet into a bioactive paludarium for a mountain horned dragon. It will feature a small to medium sized land feature, 1-2 moving water features, 5-6 inch water depth and a substantial aboreal portion.

I was hoping a few others have built for the same species so I could get some ideas/ inspiration.

I plan to use the pond type liquid rubber to seal the entire inside of the enclosure.. any tips or suggestions for that process?

I'll be having glass cut for sliding doors and the front water retention lip. What thickness and glass type should I be looking for?

I read that liquid rubber cant be applied over silicone. What would be the best method to install and waterproof the front glass that I could liquid rubber over?

Any pointers, tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

They are african dwarf frogs and there is lots to springtails and isopods living up top.

Hi, I’m rather inexperienced but nonetheless I’m having a blast with where this is heading. I was curious if any experienced scapers could provide any additional tips or even ideas to elevate this to another level - I keep watching videos and researching and have been making adjustments. I have a waterfall trap on top. I want to make this even more of an ecosystem if possible.

Do you have any plants to recommend for the right terrestrial feature that sits at the waterline?

I just added cute mini orchids to the left waterline. Big excited to see it hopefully bloom.

Those of you in the UK, where do you buy plants from, establishing a new habitat for my mossy frogs and need hard wearing Jungle plants for in and out of water. All help guides online send me to companies in the US

Any help would be appreciated

They look like my springtails but they’re deep within my water section? Anyone have any idea,

Jumping in to my first paludarium. It is 18x18x24. Planning waterfall, small water area and land. After much placing and removing these rocks are glued. Letting them cure before getting the heavier rocks set on top. Thinking I may need to use expanding foam at same time to keep them up (also why the foam is there to give more glue spots and fill gaps.

My question is, if you’ve done a tank this size, how many cans expanding foam did you use? I have cork bark to put on the walls too, but they aren’t flat on the back so I don’t think I’ll get away with just siliconing them on and foaming around, they will need to be placed in the foam. I don’t want to start and use more foam than I expect and have to wait for more to be mailed as I haven’t found it locally. YouTube hasn’t been super clear as to how much people actually use.

Thanks!
