I am starting the redo of my 65 gallon setup. It was currently set up with mostly water as a paludarium and i really wanted more plantable area so i tore it apart and am starting over. You can see in the first pic what it looked like before and then the next are the progress of the build so far.

I have now finished the background with the foam and wood. The areas with wood on the back have dripper lines and drains so I can plant rooted plants in the back area. The waterfall is coming together and will drain through the rocks and disapear into the bottom. I have a seperate line for the hollow log which will feed the small water area. I will have 5 different levels to plants and landscape with giving me that natural slope look.

Everything has come together just as I wanted. All plants seem to be doing well after 3 weeks and are starting to fill in. I have moved things around some after pics were taken but it is basically the same. Please let me know what everyone thinks.

I love the nepthytis! I hope the pitcher works out for you, those plants are very nice looking!

Does the water not seep through the cork bark tube and get into the substrate? I like your design!
