Default 20 gallon high paludarium

Just finished my newest paludarium. It was a learning process as always.

Had a vision in my head with a tank with 2 waterfalls, and happily it pretty much worked out.

Check out the photos and let me know what you think of them. This tank will be for plants and fish only, so I did include any access from the water to the land area.

Any questions about construction, just feel free to ask. I do not wanna get too wordy in this post.

like the bricks/brick pattern, and the symmetry.

Thanks, made the faux brick wall by carving a sheet of styrofoam, then sponge painting it with my famous paint recipe to give texture.
Recipe:

drylok paint-4 parts
non-toxic acrylic sealant- 2 parts
acrylic paint of chosen color- as needed
painters pumice- 1.5 part
reptile sand- 1 part
