You smashed this build!👏 quick tip: If you put springtails in the emersed section, they’ll breed & become a natural food source for the fish, they’ll also help fertilise the substrate & keep mold away:)

[@MJAquascaping]

Thanks for the tip!

[@erint5373]

Absolutely love it! I am very into the idea of a pallidarium as you can keep jumping fish such as clown killifish without worrying about the uglyness of having a lid on a traditional aquarium/ or losing the dimension of seeing the water from above.

[@ChillGuyBonsai]

Such a beautiful paludarium aquascape

[@ChillGuyBonsai]

Thanks MJ

"At first, I thought that combination of stones wouldn't work. But the angular ones become more part of the background, and the round ones part of the foreground. Super nicely done!"

[@dndndndndn419]

The “v” shape of the cork looked so good, like a log cracking apart and collapsing into the water - so cool. This whole tank is gorgeous

[@FairmoundAquatics]

The balance in this aquascape is spot on. Nature in a glass box!😍

[@homefishmedia]

I love how your narration overlayed the video of everyday life living with and caring for fish. Wonderful!

[@frankvermeulen4621]

Just WOW. 😮 Those Wio River kits are something else! Very nice! 👍

[@andreacasoli3371]

I generally prefer aquariums not paludariums, but your scapes are always gorgeous

[@nancywaterhouse3135]

I love the ferns on the cork background....great video ... will be excited to see its development. Thank you for the care you put into all your videos. This one was my companion for my morning coffee on a sunny early fall morning in Vermont :)

[@MJAquascaping]

Sounds great 😌 enjoy the rest of your weekend!

[@criteschristine]

Loved this episode! Wio has the most comprehensive hardscape offering out there! Their products are top notch from what I’ve managed to get my hands on. The end result was truly spectacular!

[@chrisweston3029]

I’ve used Wio for a few tanks now. Excellent stuff.

[@marionpraveen1789]

One of the best videos I've watched in a while and best use of products. Truly amazing

[@shuvidola7293]

great result! i think adding a few springtails on the soil would help the plant even more

[@rogercoad1088]

My fish thank you, watching your uploads inspires me to get creative, well done.

[@MercurialMilk]

I came into aquascaping by way of terrarriums and paludariums so its really cool to see one of my fav youtubers trying it out! it looks amazing and Im so glad youre enjoying it.

[@carolinemusic100]

Hi Mark, Greetings from Scotland. Love your paludarium which looks absolutely fabulous. As always, it's a pleasure watching your videos. Keep up the good work. 😊

[@priyankardas2668]

Thats a mind blowing paludarium build. I could keep looking at it all day long. The underwater section can have some more livestock as well! Wio decor is so good... I was also observing some nice Echinodorus in your other tank 😅 cool!

[@sheriDJ71]

Oh wow looks incredible MJ 👏🏼🥰 Now you’re hooked can you explore your country side areas with streams where you can collect up some ingredients, add to one of your nano tanks and see what happens? Day trip with the your partner 💞 Explore

[@Ankescapes]

The sticky soil is really cool, I have to try it sometimes soon! Very nice layout, I love it!

[@Ankescapes]

@aBunchahNuns thanks for the tipp!!!

[@blackosprey2219]

Small note: you can make your own "sticky soil" using pure bentonite clay cat litter mixed with aquasoil and coco coir.

[@tanyawylie6750]

That was satisfying to watch! It came together almost effortlessly!

[@adamcenteno6155]

I love it! It looks so natural.

[@IMaqua]

I used WIO products couple of times and I love them. Cheers MJ

[@Filipediasalmeida]

WOW! What a great setup! I enjoyed a lot this video! keep us posted on its evolution! Cheers!

[@4loveoffish]

Fantastic! I love how you started and I sure wish in the US we had a company like the one you have all the fantastic products from . Incredible !

[@morneschaap2944]

Wow! Beautiful setup. And so many amazing products from WIO. I'm blown away!

[@tracys.6033]

Looks fantastic MJ. I love all the ferns. Hope it brings you much enjoyment. Hmmmmmm, I wonder if I could get away with buying another aquarium by telling my husband " oh no dear, its not another aquarium, its my first paludarium!"😂

[@carlosrichard6921]

Technically, there is no land area. This is considered a riparium at best. The ratio of land to water determines the type of vivarium you have.

[@stephenevans7884]

Just finished saving up for a salt water macroalgae set up, now I need a paludarium as well.

[@MJAquascaping]

😬😬

[@nermarpaborito4830]

Great work, I just did one vivarium for my wild Betta, liking the overhanging terrestrial plants.

[@lmathews61]

Beautiful…LOVE THIS…my fav out all your setups thus far…🥰❤️

[@modellbaurobbe9951]

Amazing scape I really love that river style und the floating plants. Keep it up

[@endoroboto]

I've setup several aquariums since the pandemic but no paludarium/riparium yet. Time for a new project!

[@rmcgill13]

Looks amazing my friend! Now I have to see if WIO ships to the USA!

[@norbertthoens3561]

Ist sehr schön geworden dein Paludarium! 🤩

[@raybro2216]

That is stunning MJ

[@yashtapase3821]

[@S-scapes]

Wow!wio products are amazing 🤯

[@МаринаА-ъ8ч]

Wonderful! That's great! Very emotional!

[@fredk4136]

Very nice. A little turtle should be nice in there if it works with the setup.

[@Coolbreeze589]

Wonderful paludarium MJ!

[@1971kamelot]

Dat ziet er mooi uit. Die grote stenen zijn die echt. Binnenkort ook maar eens wat drijfplanten in 1 van mijn aquariums doen want het licht is te sterk van de Juwell

[@nade801]

If Wio was available here in the states i would be broke 😂 Build looks great!

[@markfranklin8831]

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for sharing 🙏✌️👍💗💯🔥

[@kenc9236]

Beautiful set up. Bravo!

[@juli7167]

wow wow wow, that paludarium looks amazing! keep up the good work youre spreading the inspiration on this platform mate

[@maciejkowalczyk4776]

Amazing I'm just starting to do my first 60 litres for shrimp just not sure what filter I should use I don't like sponge ones what you will recommend?

[@kevinharwood8862]

You just keep killing it love your scapes

[@MandyJane123700]

That turned out amazing! I've actually been gathering supplies to make my first paludarium, but it will be smaller. My friend gave me an old 5 gallon tank (I need to get the hard water stains off it). Since I live in Florida, I am going to use plants like moss, ferns, and air plants that I find in the yard all the time. I hadn't considered a cork background, but that looks really nice and natural. I love that soil you used, so cool that you can mold it to fit wherever you need it!

[@CGLFishing]

Old comment I know but bring in Florida you should also look for some pygmy sunfish for that tank!

[@MandyJane123700]

@@CGLFishing I've never seen any in the rivers around here. I think you might have to go further south, maybe.

[@CGLFishing]

@@MandyJane123700 they are all throughout Florida and you would find them in heavy weeds in smaller bodies of water.

[@MandyJane123700]

@@CGLFishing Oh, that's interesting! I have caught lots of fry along the edges of the river, but they're always tilapia. I'll have to get into the weeds next time. I want to go out searching for aquatic plants in the spring, that would be a good time to look.

[@CGLFishing]

@@MandyJane123700 nice! I'm going to try looking for some this week while visiting!

[@oftheHowl]

Big leveling up my man, keep it up you just keep improving with every build

Bet, you use the kitchen equipment for the Terrarium and for cooking - Aqua Scap way of life

[@miniandy82]

Stunning ❤

Really cool paludarium! I will try something like that in the future 😅

A couple more months and this thing is going to look even better! ❤‍🔥

[@stoneysscapes7544]

Hey Mark , A few days ago I recommended your video from June 25 from your visit to Portugal!! I have been anticipating my First Paludarium style for a few years , and after seeing that 1st shop you visited 😲it has been running through my mind !!! Everything about the way they were setup to me is so perfect . I think it's the time to allow it to get established and making little improvements along the way & now I'm thinking about what you created with the huge display bowl 🏆 As always I have commented before I have started the video which is a hell of a way to start my morning!!!!

[@chelmsford6774]

Great build MJ, love all the specs you've included CHEERS!

[@katzolicious]

looks fantastic. thank you for inspiring

[@vitalijussmirnovas7954]

Very inspiring, thanx MJ

Very nice paludarium. Thanks for the video and ideas

Awesome paludarium tutorial 👍🏻

[@MHMD.AquaLover]

It's so beautiful💚

[@diontrespeller]

This is nice. Great work

[@karlcoyote6882]

The most interesting thing is; What kind of filter did you use? The most discussed theme.

[@MJAquascaping]

Oase filtosmart 300 😊👍🏻

[@kylebillings7659]

The site says to preserve your sticky soil when you use it, cover it in moss. Otherwise the soil will dry out. Crazy stuff I want to try it. Wish this company delivered or better was in the states.

[@jamesjones8603]

I want to do something similar to this but want to use all the tank for water still but try and extend above alot more.... a little like the big shallow

[@mian6395]

So excited!!

[@richwhatelse1256]

One if the best tanks you have made, i must say! :)

[@pagewhite61]

It’s beautiful!

[@Christian.Danielsen]

Looks great! The last couple of week, I have been wanting to buy the 60 cm UNS paludarium to build my first paludarium

[@justin94431]

Why uns?

[@Christian.Danielsen]

@@justin94431 I really like the very open rimless paludarium look with the low front, the functionality with the holes in the back and it's also the only "real "paludarium tank available here in my country

[@justin94431]

@@Christian.Danielsen can you recommend me some easy pauladurium plants grows out of water?

[@Christian.Danielsen]

@@justin94431 In my experience almost all stem plants can grow out of water- Hygrophilia Polysperma, Rotala Green, H'ra, Macandra etc., Pogostemon erectus. Sometimes they do and sometimes not. I guess it also depends on how hard the plant's stem is. But if you buy them immersed (grown out of water), then it's only the lower part of the plant that has to convert to water - havent done that though

[@justin94431]

@@Christian.Danielsen so all the plants you have grown so far are sub emersed?

[@ricardotolosa2671]

Hi MJ, pretty cool paludarium.........congrats. Let´s know how maintenance goes on to keep it looking so nice.

[@RisingShadow11]

with a set up like this you should add something that can go in the water and in land not sure what but that would be a cool idea

[@MrTommyj200sx]

Love all your scapes mate your a true artist. Think you should get musk turtle in there

[@craigquinn8225]

inspirational work. beautiful

Wauw beautiful!!

[@pedrocastel8177]

So rewarding!!

[@Dariuslynel]

I wish they would ship to US or we had similar here. You guys are spoiled with options 😊.

[@zapic163]

How did you pump the filter with the water level so low? I'm building a paludarium too and I have problems with it

[@MJAquascaping]

I basically made the outflow longer by using some spare parts that came with the canister filter (Oase filtosmart 300)

[@aquariumplantman]

Pretty cool paludarium build Mark, nice. I’ve been seeing all the gear combining out of wio & hope it becomes available in Australia,

[@martinhuber1007]

It’s a very attractive setup, esp. the combinations of colors and shadings is very nice. After searching on the WIO homepage I didn’t find the cork parts you’ve used in your setup, are they NL only? Thx for an answer and greetings from Austria.
