I've done this for an exo-terra and I can say that this is very difficult to do for the average person and you make it look easy. Good job. I hope you have as much satisfaction looking at the real thing as we have looking at the picture.

This is beautiful. I have been considering changing my 125 gallon from freshwater community to something different. I may just have found it.

Thanks, Mike. I'm happy to hear you're inspired.
A 125 makes a very nice paludarium.

Thank you.
My first attempts were not better than anyone's. But then I got obsessed.

Taken my photographic skills I think I'm a bit better off than you guys. But Im glad if you like the pics. Even more so, if anyone is inspired.

I'm waiting for a shipment of Riccia to play around with. Im trying to make some sort of a mossy shoreline kinda look with it...

Thx, gonathan85.
Relatively time-consuming, yes. But I don't count the hours...

Thanks, chadly.

No, I haven't taken a shot of the tools. But there's not anything overly sexy being used.
-hot glue gun
-hot air gun
-soldering iron
-brushes
-knives

About that.
