Mudskipper paludarium- an alternative solution

[leuc11]

Thank you. I'm actually thinking about a method to add a nice "foliage" to the upper portion of the tank.
The clay method is neat. I think there is a way to make the foliage upstairs to be freshwater even though the tank is brackish.



Thanks!
Set up?
The hardscape took about a couple of days to make. The first month after installing it I just kept changing water every couple of days.
The tank has been maturing for several months now...



Thank you!

The clay background only needs to be misted once or twice a day very lightly so your only adding a tablespoon of water for you freshwater plants and its not gonna effect you brackish water. also for vines those need to planted in the substrate so a small patch of eco earth will do or abg mix. I dont really think the brackish water will have any effect on the substrate. and do you know if brackish water effects chrome painted egg grate?

I agree. I have actually thought about adding an automatic misting system and adjust it to basically compensate the evaporated amount daily.

But I think I will go for a planter-style rather than the clay method...

That looks awesome!

Thank you!
I love your signature! Listen to the man, people! Less ordering from the net and more walking in the LFS!
