don't stop please

I have an old 4 ft tank that I am trying to set up as a low maintenance, low tech aquarium. When I was Googling I found this "Riparium" thingy that caught my interest, and ended up in this thread for hours. Very informative and I wish it can continue.

all this paludarium is very low maintenance and low tech.
i setup it at my hometown, only go back to take care it every 2 weeks.
it rely on sun light as it was outside of the house.

so far i only do 3ft tank, a 4ft tank will look very nice, even better if its height is more than the normal 1.5ft.

currently i am trying to setup another paludarium but its not ready yet.

Good quality in what sense? build? Or light quality?

how much you paid for it?

revive old thred. i just got a 4ft tank someone gave away and first thinking to use it for fish only. but i feel malas to go look for a table that can hold the weight of all the water. so decided to use for a terrarium. so now i tgh cari geng geng also doing this.

welcome
share some pic after you are done with it

4 ft terrarium should be damm awesome.

so far all my terrarium just 3ft only, easy to manage

I have absolutely no experience with it Hahaha. I di have a planted tank. But this is a bit of a mystery still. Any tips for terranoob?

i am not really expert but its more or less like planted also.

u lay the sand and do the hard scape first, then you add in the water and plants.
since u wont be able to use co2, just use moss and other low tech plants like anubis or nana.

u can check my first post and get some rough idea on how to position the drift wood
see which type you prefer

Thanks. After thinking about it more my main design gonna be more like seaside and gonna get some crabs. A tree recently tumbang near my house. Gonna head over and break some wood off Hehe. Should be OK. Gonna be out of the water mostly Will focus mainly on land plants initially and will see later about the under water stuff.

Some updates of my tanks during ta look weekend

not sure this thread still valid or not..just gonna bump a bit..hahaha..

how u guys manage on the watering system?.misting?.or waterflow like slow waterfall?.

my old tank no have anything special. just waterfall/spray type to get some circulation and aeration.

i use power filter to do water fall..
plan to do misting system for my frog next time.
now bz catching virtual monster lol..

ya..everyone bz catching them all..

is it only 1 output on your waterfall system or you dispersed it using multiple air-tubes?

its up to you depending on what type of habitat you want to make.

if you want to simulate strong river current then 1 output to simulate strong water current.
if you want to simulate dripping effect then u can dispersed it using multiple water tubes

either way is fine..

my new setup.. 1.5 months old
