    Default Large commercial tanks for palludarium

    Hi All,

    I'm planning a large palludarium that would ideally have ~30+ gallons of water for fish and a substantially tall terrestrial portion to make arboreal tree frogs happy. Also, should be able to access the aquatic portion for a large external filtration system.

    Are there any commercially available all glass enclosures that are larger than the Exo Terra (36 x 18 x 36) (W,D,H) ??

    Thanks in advance!
    Mark

    it will be very difficult to find. if you have the ability and know how id advise building it yourself. i built mine and it is holding around 15 gallons of water

    Look for a tank manufacturer in the seattle area. I have one i use down here in southern california. They will build you anything.

    any particular reason it needs to be all glass? you can build whatever size you choose using plywood and just use glass on the front.

    here is a pic of my 36x24x48 Protean Viv(still needs to grow in, planted only 2 months ago), Jason does a great job, only problem for you is that he lives in Maine, not sure what shipping will cost you. At the Chicago NARBC he had I believe was a 48x24x48 monster, it was pretty sick, Euro vent in front is nice keeps moisture off the front glass.


    Here is a link to his site, next couple builds are going to be for darts, plan to use his 24x24x24 for some green sips and cobalts.
