Instead of making a new thread, I figured I'd just use this one instead. Because it's basically the same stuff as before. Except this time I'm gonna do it right!

SO.

I'm getting rid of my old tank and getting something that's water-proof. Whether that's a Sterilite/Rubbermaid bin or an actual aquarium (cuz Petco's still got a dollar-per-gallon sale going) , it doesn't matter. I hate my tank, my dudes hate the tank, the crickets hate the tank. We're all done with it. We're gonna reverse the whole thing.

And that's the question, I guess. Could I literally reverse it? Fill up what is currently my water pond with substrate/false bottom/plant life/springtails, and have the rest be water? I see people using, like, glass or plexiglass separators to divide between land and water, and I was just wondering if there was a reason people didn't do this? Aesthetics? Because, honestly, anything is a step up from seeing as much eggcrate as I do.

Any tips on having a mostly-water paludarium? And, in the case I do get a plastic bin instead of an aquarium, any suggestions on that? Me and my little dudes appreciate it.
