nice.. not bad...

thx mate,

other than the center one, the rest are barely 2 months old and not mature yet.. still working on it

u got any paludarium ?

wooooaaaaahhh amazing!!!
I'd love to see someone post his/her riparium here

one noob question. how do u clean it? i imagine it must be very tedious.

yeah, hope to see more riparium owner here.
can share knowledge and info about this hobby.

not really, there is a power filter hidden somewhere within the driftwoods for the 1st and 2nd pic.
for the 3rd pic i use canister filter as u can see from the pic.
all i did was a weekly 10-20% water change tats all.
in fact this kinda setup is even less tedious than fully planted tank.
i only use low tech plants, so far i dint put any co2 and fertilizer yet.

How to set up such tank?
Find it very interesting but am guessing bout the filter and pump system.
How to plant also still guessing with no answers

its not tat hard to setup tis kinda tank.
juz need to find a few piece of suitable driftwood
arrange it nicely and lay the water tube.
for the filteration u can buy canister filter, its abit expensive but worth it coz u would have less headache. I got one canister and another 2 DIY filteration system.

for the plants u can juz use low tech plant like anubis, nana, cryptocorene etc
for the lighting, i juz diy using normal fluorescent tube or u can buy ready make light from LFS.

nice ~~

did you use any mist bar to keep the moisture above ur tank ? as i can see the wood are wet

i got a humidifier but seldom use it.
the woods are wet because i got lay water tube around it from the filter.

Maybe u can demo how to place the tubes and such?

u may check out my first pic, i lay the water tube around the driftwood,
and punch some holes along it, so when the pump is on, water will drip down from the water tube to the driftwood..

after sometime when the moss and other plants outgrown the driftwood, the water tube is no longer visible from outside.

I see...no wonder..haha..i thought u manually spray them

A mist system on top will allow u to grow riccia or moss on drift wood

sometime i will manually mist them esp during noon time because the tank is located outside. I did grow moss and riccia on top

used to have some HC on one of the tank also but i tink die off already..

cool setup bro!

Thumbs ups!

Key to such setup is to maintain water temperature and provide sufficient lights for your plants and they will rewards u handsomely!

Cheers mate!
