  • While going through my idea book, I came across what I imagined to be a bonsai tree paludarium. I had a loose idea of what I wanted, but as I imagined things, I couldn't get the idea of an island out of my head. Not just any island though. I wanted to create something that resembles a sea stack. Of course, I took some liberties, but I think the end result speaks for itself.

    Back with another paludarium build! Going for a different vibe in this one, but I think it's pretty neat. I especially think it looks cool with the mist maker. Other than going slightly higher with the rock work, there's not much I would change if I did it again. What do you think? Let me know and have a great weekend!

      Hi Tanner, what a beautiful and fanciful prehistoric looking tropical island scape! I love the hugeness of the tree trunks and the look of the other plants. When you add in the mist, stones and the fish, WOW!! I can imagine these small fish to be large sharks swimming around this extraordinary island group, out in the middle of nowhere, that you only find because a superstorm blew you in there.
      I absolutely love the look of this Tanner. What a great idea and an outstanding finished product!!
      You are such an amazing artist, with great vision, and an understanding of how to use a minimal amount of various pieces to produce your vision! BRAVO!!!
      God bless and thanks again for sharing with us, your viewers.

      @@cnaizhen it's because the water in hydroponic slowly get contaminated by organic matters and fertilizer. Moreover they usually aren't well aerated despite always moving, causing toxicity to build up. With well-filtered water and proper aeration, along with healthy bacteria culture and good nitrogen cycle, it should be okay imo.

Something with Australian pitcher plants and pygmy sundews would allow for a smaller setup. I personally have both and they look amazing. Keep up the awesome work!
