45 Gallon Paludarium Updates

Just a few quick photos showing some of the recent growth in the paludarium I built for TFH magazine. I’ve started using the drip feature for only a few minutes every other day or so, in an effort to combat the algae that had started growing on the cork and Riccardia in wet areas. Some of the plants handle being trampled by the crabs better than others.

    Hey Mellow

    This tank is incredible, never seen the full layout but I have considered subscribing to TFH to see the whole build.

    I’m having the same problem with hair algae growing in my 20G version of your set up. It’s crazy because I saw it in the water but didn’t think it would take to the cork or moss, couple weeks later I noticed it was woven neatly in to nearly everything on the cork except the HC Cuba. I usually run the dripper 24/7 so I’m going to try running them on a similar schedule.
