This is honestly probably the best vertical paludarium build I've seen in KZread in a hot minute my guy. And you make it look so much more simple than i thought it would need to be!

Dr. Plant! You truly are a terrarium genius! Thanks for being an inspiration for us all. Could you ever make a video on paludarium maintenance? I'm sure many of us wonder how to keep everything nice, clean, and healthy. Keep up the good work 😸

That’s absolutely beautiful, like a little garden of Eden.

love the idea of doing the background separately. it makes it much more likely that I'll be able to do this neatly.

Only _one of the best⁉️_ Who's better besides Serpadesign? I would love to find some more channels doing super high end vivariums like this‼️ And I only put Tanner over the Dr. because 1. He gives *_way more detail_* on how to actually build his setups step by step and 2. While the Dr. _might_ have Serpa beat in complexity/beauty on some projects, more of Serpa's builds maximize efficiency and reduce the arbitrary "bells & whistles" (which leads to less maintenance and upkeep expenses) And he goes out of his way to make them as cost efficient as possible so regular people like me could realistically make something like this ourselves! While Dr. Plants is also very skilled, he streamlines his personal labor/diy alterations by shelling out top $ on all his materials! 🤑 I know I can't afford to shell out _thousands_ on enclosures just to make it an easier build/slightly cleaner end result 😂 Especially when I can make one that looks/functions 90% as good for a fraction of the $ plus few extra days/weeks of my own labor 🙃

If anyone is wondering the little palm tree you see is called Biophytum sensitivum also known as the little tree plant.

How much was the tank itself. That is where I will have to start, as I'm not exactly money rich right now. But would do this piece by piece if I do it.

Hey I really like the build and am planning on doing a similar one but had a question. How do you service the pump in this situation? It looks like not only is the pump under the dirt the pump coord is behind the silicone background? Does this mean if it breaks you will have to get a whole new pump and put it in the front? Also just curious, any reason you chose to use the terrarium version of this enclosure instead of the paludarium version allowing for deeper water/digging area?

This is such a well done paludarium! Ive been doing weeks of research on aquariums but after realizing I have a bird that will probably try to get into a tank, ive decided to go with this option. How much would you say this cost? excluding the tank and plants? Edit: Would you also consider putting a carnivorous plant such as a Venus flytrap or lowland nepenthes in there?

@TheDrPlants

Without the plants, animals, and tank, this tank was cheap. I’d say it would cost $800 for the materials on the high end. You could do it for FAR cheaper. I do not think Venus flytraps would do well in this environment. On the other hand, some tropical nepenthes species do great on vivariums!
