This is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. I cannot believe how simple you made this look though. I would LOVE to do something like this, but I don't have the room, time, or money. Maybe one day in the future though because this is stunning. I can't believe I am about to say this, but it looks better than something nature could create. If I were to ask my mom if I could do this, she would think I was crazy. I tried a Paludarium before, but it looked terrible. Please keep amazing us with these amazing builds.
Hi Ian. Your comment on my paludarium went into my spam folder and I didn't see it until just now. Beautiful tank! I loved watching the construction details.
One of the best I have seen plus great music choice. I have problems sleeping and I fell asleep last night watching your video, thx. I have a question though, I see water dripping from the moss up high and I'm wondering how the water got there since that part is not submerged and also I don't see a filtration system, how do u keep the water clean and clear and livable for the fish, thanks.
QuinteroJoshua Thank you very much. Your comments are much appreciated. I have a new paludarium project in construction stage at the moment. It's comments like yours that keep me inspired. :)
Red eye green treen frog - Ranoidea chloris. These are a species of Australian tree frog native to Eastern Australia. Nth Sydney to Mid-northern Queensland.

How did you instal the plants…besides the moss(fantastic method by the way; I saw the process vid) How do you handle trimming of the plants and/ or moss? What is the humidity level? What kind of filtration are you using?
Hi Beyond Pawz, Trimming is done a little bit at a time using sharp aquascaping scissors. Humidity level has not been measured but it is high at a guess... The tank is its own filter. The tank water is pumped up to a conduit that is situated across the back and both side top perimeters and dribbles down the background 24/7 ... this process naturally, biologically and mechanically removes impurities from the water before it returns to the main water body through the substrate. It is approximately 8-9 months now and only one water change has been performed, with a few top ups.
Thanks for responding, Ian. I'm Laurie I like the idea of a drip system. Most folks seem to use misting. Is it difficult to set up for drip? How would you regulate? What are the lighting requirements for a tank like yours? The lighting baffles me. I'd like to include critters at some point but seems like the lighting is more to keep the plants happy and the animals will be happy if the plants are happy. All of this has come a long way since I tried it ten years ago. Eventually got fed up. I will be automating the water this time wether drip or mist. And I'm dying to try some mosses.
Nice to meet you Laurie :) My drip system was basically a 'set it up and see' process. Before I installed it into the tank I gave it a trial run to see how strong the pump would be compared to the height it had to push the water.. As it turned out the pump capacity was just enough to create a dribble from all the spray heads I had in the conduit.. Enough to keep the walls wet without having water spraying all around the place. The lighting originally was 2 x double 28W T5 fluros using Grow tubes ... But I have changed now to using 6 x 10W 6000K LED downlights. The change of light has had no noticeable effect in either direction. Depending on what critters you keep will determine whether or not you will need the addition of a UV producing light or not. As for the water plants, I have not added anything to the water since day 1. BUT.... the substrate I am using (CalAqua Labs Black Soil) is designed to give a slow release of nutrients and buffer the water to a low pH as well.... When this substrate is 'spent' I guess I will have to monitor how plants perform and add ferts as needed.
Hi Adam ... It is a 4x2x2 aquarium ... I used foam for my background. It is painted and some parts covered with coir/peat. Building with real rocks would be possible but costly and bulky.
I'm really interested in this .May i ask how do you keep the plants above the water ,do you actually water them to keep them alive ? sorry for my stupid question .
Hi Be Lam ... There is no such thing as a 'stupid question' when you want to understand something :) ..The plants are sitting in saturated substrate that is constantly kept wet with water from the tank dribbling down over the walls and through the substrate. .. The plants that are above the substrate level sitting on the walls and branches etc. are surviving on the high humidity within the tank environment.. Hope that answers your 'excellent' question. :)
Liam Wharton I think the answer to your question is the tank has no heater... The room in which this tank lives is constant around 20-22 degrees C. ... The species of fish can tolerate a wide parameter of temperature. The filter is the tank itself. The water is pumped up to the top of the plant covered walls and as it trickles through to the bottom it is mechanically and biologically filtered.
That set up is amazing. What type of foam did you use for the background? And I saw the first video you posted but must have missed it but what type of lighting are you using?
Mitchell Lubline Thanks for the kind words :) I used a combination of polystyrene sheet and expanding foam for the background. The lighting is 6 x 10W LED downlights. The kind used in the ceiling of a house. They are providing a good diffused light and are 6000 Kelvin temperature.
all my moss dies no mater ware i get it from ... what kind of lights r u using an what r u doing to keep it a live anything u can tell me will help me out ... i am in the proses of making a 150gal dart frog tank now
Sorry to hear that loue :/ ... I have a similar problem in the areas of the tank where the moss is not kept wet at all times. ...it may be worth noting here that any of the moss that is drawing its water via capillary action is not as lush as the constantly wet moss. This tank environment is also very high humidity. This is true for the aquatic mosses I have used in this set-up. But I can't help if your moss is a terrestrial variety. I have no personal experience with land mosses. But thinking about it logically from experience, it would thrive if kept very damp or wet. Most mosses are typically low light and low nutrient varieties of plant. The lighting I am using is 6 x 10W 6000K LED lights.
I know this video is old, but I love this! Can anybody recommend a filter for a paludarium I am making? There will be about 7 gallons of water and it will be 5-6 inches deep.
Alan Flores No I don't sell paludariums... It is a hobby to me, and in my opinion, it is much more fun and satisfying to create your own. They are not difficult to create. There are no rules. You can make them as simple or as complex as you wish. If you create your own, you will also have an intimate understanding of what is required to keep it healthy. A couple of tips: Research the plant life you wish to use so that they can survive the environment you create for them. If you plan to keep animals in your paludarium it is wise to create it to suit their needs. Other than that, research, research and more research ;) .... There are many examples of well built, long surviving paludariums to see in online platforms such as RUclips, Facebook groups and Google images. Good luck :D

trishg58 Thank you :)
beautiful like heaven
LOVE this palladarium, really appreciate seeing other peoples palladariums
Magical. Dont understand how people can dislike this.

Also, if you could, can you please name the fish you have in there? I saw a lot of Endler Guppies, some rainbows, and what looked like to be a Brem?
This is by far the most beautiful paludarium I have ever seen, Absolutely amazing. Great camera work too!
Thank you very much Thomas Visser .. I appreciate your very kind comments :)
You are awesome! Such a beautiful paludarium! Good job!
Wow....this the most amazing paludarium I have seen thus for. Hope to have something like this some day.

Brilliant film, dude
Thank you!
Great tank. How do you filter the water, control water temp, etc?
Amazing, one of the best tank I have seen.
baliais thank you
Csn you make update from now how it looks like ?

Very very cool and soothing video, thank you for this :)
Thank you .. you're welcome :)
que tipo de rana tienes amigo
No lie, bro. This is the most impressive environment I've seen someone make. You should make a business out of this.
QuinteroJoshua Thank you very much. Your comments are much appreciated. I have a new paludarium project in construction stage at the moment. It's comments like yours that keep me inspired. :)
It’s stunning!

I know it’s been a long time since you uploaded the video but can you teach me how to make the water fall?
Lovely and relaxing. I'm inspired to make a similar setup. :)
Truly awesome! Thank you for sharing :)
+john cooper Thank you :)
hey whats the frog at 6:10?
How big is your tank? Is it easy to build the backdrop using real rocks?
Hi Adam ... It is a 4x2x2 aquarium ... I used foam for my background. It is painted and some parts covered with coir/peat. Building with real rocks would be possible but costly and bulky.
dude killed it w the midnight sonata
where did you put the powerhead ? did you use any filtration system at all? How did you put those plants on the background wall? Thanks.

What's the name of the second song? (after your intro) the one with the guitar-like sound during the 6-8 minute mark?
Nice tank! I really like it. :) Do you have a filter inside the aquarium area?
how you did the rain?
This video is beautiful
Yazid Sadali thank you
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely amazing tank! Just wondering what plants do you have in this tank :)?
Omg I'm speechless 😦best thing I have ever seen plis don't be dead
Awesome tank!!
was sind das alles für fische? ansonsten echt geiles teil :)
Do you have a stocking list of what's in there?
How would one construct such a paludarium technical wise?
is that just frog moss you buy at the store? or is it spiky moss? just curious
It is an aquatic moss that grows fully submerged Billy. If kept moist and in a humid environment it will grow quite well out of the water.
What's thatsp song that's starts at 0:38?
Star trek into darkness : London calling
:) na
wich type of frog is that?
Berry Bertin, where is the frog?
Berry Bertin what? Do you mean "which"
Dose anyone know the type of the frog? It doesn’t seem like a dart frog.
Hello Bruce
These are Australian Red Eye Green Tree Frog
@@MrCookster65 Thank you Ian! Excellent video. I will try to make one of this beautiful paludarium on my own.
@@brucecheng5477 Thank you for kind comments. A wonderful distraction to have in our home.
What frogs are those
what about turtles with paludarium with fish and frog
what frog is?
Is it fresh or tropical water and were it the filter

What are the fish with the yellow flappy things on the side of its head???
Looks like Spotted Blue-eye (Pseudomugil gertrudae).
a beautiful place to live if your a fish or frog stunning
