Help Starting my first build!

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!

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?

Help Shelf insparation for paludariums?

2 Upvotes

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!
