In this video I'm turning a mini tank into a nano paludarium! This basically means its part terrarium & part aquarium! The mixture of plants & mosses I i used in this build really helped to create a super natural look, what better way to bring a snippet of nature indoors!? Hope you enjoy the video:)

How much does it cost (roughly) to make something like this? I know you already have a lot of supplies/plants left over from other builds, but if you wouldn’t mind including a rough estimate of the cost of the builds in the description, it would be much appreciated. I’m really inspired by your videos and am interested in getting started, and would like to have a rough idea of how much it would cost to do a first successful build. Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations with us! Your videos brighten my day!

I know you build it yourself, but still trying to find something similar. But most small tanks I find are horizontal. I'd like a vertical one. And also could I use a acrylic one? Or needs to be a glass one? Thanks in advance. ☺️

Do you spray them often or does the condensation just wet the plants on the wall?

for the most part the high humidity takes care of the moss and plants, but I do very lightly spray the moss/plants at the very top every week or so.

Only thing I would put is snails if you really want an animal, its way too small for fish even if you filled the whole thing with water

@xyz7572 Жыл бұрын

It wouldn’t be very kind to the fish, even if the fish were tiny. The volume of water in there for a fish to swim around in would be extremely small, and that would bring a whole lot of problems. Id recommend getting a small plastic or glass fish and put it in the water if you want to 🙂
