False Bottoms In Paludariums

[Kyle The Toad]

How exactly do false bottoms work in paludariums? Are you supposed to let the water from the water portion of the tank flow under the false bottom? I don't seem to really understand the purpose of a false bottom, except for landscaping. I've had a divider to separate land from water in my tank for a little while, but I don't think that it looks natural. I am thinking of going the false bottom route and would like some information before I decide.

Edit: Nevermind, I've found the information I was looking for. If anybody else has the same question that I did, go to the thread titled, "Vivarium? Paludarium?... I'm New". Read Froggsong's first post.

Boy, now that was an old school post, lol... My opinions have, I must say, changed a bit since I posted that nearly two years ago. Whether you design the FB so that the animals can get underneath or not really depends in the animal. Anyway, the basics are still good, but I don't think that's the only way to do it anymore. Let me know if either of you have any questions.

What are these other ways to build a false-bottom, Froggsong?
