    Get clogged May be after 1-2 years .. what after that ?

    Lastly, is the open panel enough to keep the springtails safely in their tank, where they belong? Or are escapees a problem?

    Hey, I want to thank you. The most profound, sincere, and significant thank you I can offer is for you.
    I will likely never build a terrarium, as I do not have a green thumb. But I used your super glue and tissue method to repair my kid's dearly beloved ceramic piggy bank. It was very effective. The tissue successfully bonded the bigger cracks where the shattered pieces were missing. Seriously, thank you. I never would've thought to do it had I not been watching your videos.

    That's really great. I'm planning to build something like this, bit I want to add a mist system too. And I have a question: where have you bought the springtales? Don't they try to escape from the paladurium? Or is the "hanging glass door" in front good enough to hold them inside?

      Springtails can be collect from heap of decaying tree leaves and they are not trying to escape.. they live in it.

    How do you make sure that the pump is not blocked? I had a mini pump and surround it with the black sponge and in about a month, the water flow became slower and I suspect something is blocking the in the pump

    I would like to know what happens if I make a paludarium without using the coarse filter foam. Will I face any problems with the tank?
