Hello, It’s time for our EFT newts to have some more water as they are about 2.5 years old and growing (a bit). We are going to try a spray foam paludarium with live plants and a waterfall. I have a question about water flow and water circulation. I know (believe???) newts want a low flow environment but I am concerned about the water not moving enough and getting stagnant. As of right now the plan is to use a small pump to move water up the back wall and then have it cascade down as waterfall. Because of this setup the water will flow down very slowly and I’m concerned the sitting water won’t have enough movement. I’m not really sure what I am concerned about but I don’t want to have a scum build up on the water surface and any other issues that would arise from water with almost zero flow.
Any thoughts or comments? Suggestions?
I added a couple of pics…which are really hard to get. The little one looks scared as we were in the process of moving tanks so we can start working on the paludarium.
Thanks
