I've owned reptiles for years now... how did I not know this Channel existed?! My husband and I are now watching every how to inclosure video you have. Thank you so much for making this incredibly easy to understand!

@Reptiliatus 2 года назад

Thank you so much for your support and welcome to my channel! So flattered, thank you for the kind words! 😊🙏🏼

Corkboard is freaking genius!! Most ppl put a layer of glue/silicone on the back glass and cover it in substrate, I might combine the 2 ideas, corkboard then glued substrate. If anything goes wrong you'd just be out a couple sheets of cork board and a tube of silicone.

@Reptiliatus 3 года назад

Thanks so much for watching everyone! Hope you enjoyed and learned something! For those of you who are aquarium savvy I just want to say I appreciate those of you who have shared helpful advice and also voiced your concerned regarding me not removing the rock wool from roots of the plants. I'll be doing this shortly and leaving this comment pinned so that anyone who see's this won't make the same little mistake 😜!

Hi, first of all i really enjoy these video's. It gives great inspiration to everybody. I just wanted to correct some mistakes you made so everyone who wants to do build something similar knows this. 1 a temperature of 82 degrees is too hot for most fish, make sure the fish you put in have the same requirements. Corydoras have a temperature range from 60 to 75 F, so best turn it down ;) 2 anubias plants should not be put in the substrate but attached to rocks or wood otherwise the roots will suffocate and the plants will die 3 you already learnt about the rock wool i see :) It is a learning proces for everybody. I just felt I had to give these tips so people won't damage their plants and fish. Keep up the good work of you paludarium design and explaining how it all works!

Hey brother, get you a piece of 1\2 tempered glass and and practice your cutting and drilling to help you with more confidence with the process. It's how I had to do it. After I had destroyed a 40 long. Took me about a month of practice, but now I can cut any glass. ( Don't forget to have fine grit sandpaper for the cut edges) GREAT JOB ON THIS !

How much would a set up like this cost using the products used? Looks good. What species of reptile are you planning to house in it? Filter towers tend to work better if they are below the waterline like housing it underneath the terrarium.

Did you ever considered building a water fall with build, with a power head pump, or used the existing canister filter spray bar? Just looking has inspired me to purchase that exact tank, expansion foam, wood cut cut, set and shape. Off to work to create one!!! awesome video!!!!!

@Reptiliatus 3 года назад

I had considered this but I decided to lean more towards the practical side of things. You see the lizards going into the enclosure are pretty large so things like waterfalls can create complications (potentially getting clogged, etc so I decided to stick to the simplest option I could use that I could still make as beautiful as possible ☺️. Thank you very much!

@@Reptiliatus awesome, I have two Paludariums, 10 gallon size and 29 gallon aquariums. The powerheads require frequent preventative maintenence. Cloggi G has occurred, where the flow was decreased. Now with routine maintenance, the powerhead are inspected to ensure consistent water flow.

Is a paludarium appropriate for a crested gecko or something similar?

@Reptiliatus 4 года назад

To be honest, I wouldn’t recommend housing Cresteds in Paludariums.

@kodavulpedrius6712 4 года назад

Whilst they CAN swim, they don't naturally do so, and I have heard like five drowning creative horror stories, 1 gargoyle gecko, 1 chahoua gecko and 2 leachie gecko drowning stories. Personally I would keep some of such animals in paludariums, but the water is always VERY shallow. Like for leachie about 15 centimeters deep, crestie size animals in like 10 cm of water max. The water areas should be small and not cover the whole bottom of the Viv as these animals do sometimes forage on the ground. Always alot of places to climb from, like wood in the water that leads to dry land, and quite large wood at that. The area from land to water MUSY slope, no steep areas.

@kodavulpedrius6712 4 года назад

Also I must add do this only if I can afford to do it properly, as you need quite a large Viv for this, and also for the supplies. If you're a beginner it's a big no no.

I just want to say you should be careful with the white cloud minnows. They thrive in cooler temperatures. Just keep an eye out because they are prone to disease and parasites in warmer temperatures.

@Reptiliatus 3 года назад

Thank you so much for sharing your concern! The temperatures in this tank will will dropped seasonally (to the lowest level that is still safe for the other tropical fish- probbaly 77f or so) and the minnows have already been living in here for 2 months without any issues. I will keep a close eye on them but all 8 of them have been doing quite well thus far.
