Ty for your response! I too read a lot of mixed reviews and it did seem that most of the complaints were about gaps where smaller animals could get into. I got to see it set up in a tank today and wow there are some serious gaps, which is a shame because its a nice feature. Once again Ty for your opinion. I was leaning away from the product but just needed to hear what other people thought

i built a fbt paludarium from a first generation viquarium. i think it was made in '82 and i found it at a flea market for $1. it took extensive mods to make it look good. and the amount of substrate that it took made it extremely heavy (i even used hydroton as a drainage area). not to mention that it takes up a whole lot of vertical space, which doesn't leave much room for plants to grow.
