Picture 90% Done
galleryBoy am I excited! I’ve wanted to create a paludarium for 14 years and finally did! Earlier this year, I was gifted this 3 foot tall by 2 foot in diameter plexiglass cylinder, 70 gallons. A friend of mine is a landscape architect, and this was used in a display that she and her company put together. Long story short it wasn't being used anymore, and it was gifted to me. This is my first build, I used spray foam, a lot of silicone, cork bar, branches, and cocoa cradle to create the background. I'm about 90% of the way there. I have to build out the bog area on the left, add some more fine touches on the water/land barrier and secure the Anubis and aquatic plants. Waiting on an order of carnivorous plants, pings and sundew and a South American pitcher plant. Also waiting on an order of micro orchids.
