Drip wall Paludarium

Bishop.69 · Apr 18, 2022

I decided to upgrade the crested newts into a larger water area (hoping to induce some breeding), and had a real blast with this build. The drip wall is powered by an external canister filter - I may never go with an internal pump set up again... There are a pair of juvenile Arboreal Salamanders in the terrestrial section, and I find them climbing along the drip wall from time to time.

That's impressive to say the least.

What kind of hardscape did you use? Is that dragonstone? My setups are simple but I want to uprade in a few months.

Thanks, Willi...

The stone is a locally sourced (like, down the street from my house) slate. I have an exposed hill of the stuff on the side of the road...
In my experience, you can find stone like this in most hilly areas. I used to live in your neck of the woods, and there was plenty to play around with.

What kind of filter did you use? And did you drill through the glass? I’m too scared to do that!

NP - I used a Fluval 107, and yup - two bulkheads installed. Buy a set of glass hole-saws, and it's super easy. Just go slow. I'd suggest picking up a piece of cheap glass at your local hardware store to practice on first. I'll most likely do a 3 bulkhead set up on my next build, with the water coming out in two places, and one for the return.

Great Job! This is amazing!
