Hey Velcro,

I love the idea of a Paludarium, I think the mix with water is just beautiful. I want to redesign it because I wanted to save some money and used a log I found on my backyard and it leeched the water with tannin.

I have 2 kinds of frogs, some tadpoles and some fishes as well:

- The first kind is a ground frog "Stripped Marsh frogs", so I have some of space in my tank for them to wander around and also lots of spaces for them to hide (in this photo below you don't see it well, but underneath all those plants there is an underground (shaded) area with gravel and access to the pond in the corner.

- Then I have some Litoria caerulea (Green Tree Frogs, or white's tree frogs).

For tree frogs, it is recommended to setup a tall tank. My tank is a "Reptile One" 60x60x90cm. It is great for what I could afford (would have loved to have maybe double the length in width so to have more room for ground decoration. The height is great for the Tree frogs as you can setup a nice waterfall and branches fror them to climb.

This was my first tank so I learned on the way. My next step is to build a proper waterfall.

Take a look at the tank and let me know what you think.

We are thinking of building a better water area now, so we're planning on building a model like this one (Still very in the ideas world). Still haven't drawn the waterfall... but it will give you an idea on the basic setup for spaces... next step is planting and decorating
