I really like this tank! Very nice work.
How long did it take you to build?

Got any new photo updates? Very interested in how the Sundial is working out for you too?

The Sundial is working out great. Haven't taken any new photos recently, but honestly it looks pretty similar. The small Bonsai type tree has grown a REALLY long stem out the top reaching almost to the top, but that's about it.

Great news on the light. I actually am working on my first paludarium project as well and have the exact same tank as you've got here, so the light was a good find - as I hadn't decided on one as of yet.

Few other questions for you:

Re, the bonsai tree, (love the archway root btw!) what type of tree is that specifically? Do you know?

Fluval U2 filtration - doing good enough? I plan on about 6" of water feature under my false bottom and an internal cannister filter is a good fix.. just curious about this particular unit... I plan to either keep Celestial Pearl Danios (Galaxy Rasboras) or White Cloud Mtn minnow (long fin). Hven't decided which yet.

Any issues w/ foam or cement degradation under water or above in high humidity yet?
My initial plan was to create structure as you did w/ foam blocks and some pvc limbs, root structures, and then coat in quickcrete. I've got all year before I even begin adding plants to it so the addtl washing/curing time is not too big of a del to me. - comments??

Thanks for your greatly detailed journal. .It has really helped out a lot w/ my own project!

Joe
