New Member looking for input on enclosure design for WTF

[Larry Wardog]

I actually have setup a paludarium for White's Tree Frogs so I can help you setup the enclosure. Serpa Design is very good with designing terrariums and plants seem to be his specialty.

If you were more interested in finding out how I set mine up I would be glad to share it with you. Otherwise you can check out the YouTuber that Dan has mentioned.

I like the idea of a split bottom 2/3 dry and 1/3 water feature. I'm completely comfortable with the land side having built several bio active enclosures for my chameleons. I have never set up an aquarium though, so the water portion is a bit of a mystery for me. Filtration, what types of aquatic plants, pumps for waterfall, etc. Any sort of step by step with photos would be great, so yes please share..
I will check out Serpa's You Tube posts in the meantime.

So I started my build on the 36"x18"x36" paludarium. Using great stuff pond and stone to for the background. With my chameleon enclosures I have used both silicone, and flex seal to adhere coco fiber to the great stuff. Are both of these options acceptable for use in amphibian builds as well?
I am also incorporating a waterfall feature, and planning on embedding sand into whichever adhesive. What would you guys recommend?

I have used GE silicone 1. (Without any mold inhibitor). It takes a while to cure but it is generally considered safe. (Wait a few weeks. It takes a while for the smell to dissipate).Remember to carve the PUR foam or else it won’t adhere. I have never used flex seal so I cannot comment on whether it is safe or not. The build is taking shape nicely. I look forward to seeing it planted.
