Riparium? Yay!

[oOturquoiseOo]

So, after a lovely 3 hours of sleep last night and extremely cranky overtired kiddos (why get up when you're exhausted?!?) I have come up with an awesome idea to make this morning a little easier to deal with. A riparium!

Can anyone point me in the direction of some good resources for setting up a riparium?

My tank is a 30 gallon rI'm less tank. It's pretty tall but I don't know the exact measurements right now. I have 2 hob filters that I can use and plant.

I'm super excited about this. Hopefully this thread will soon become a riparium build thread.

Ok... Just realized I want a paludarium. Oops! Haha!

Off to do more googling.

Thanks! I hope I can work it out

I'm hoping to make a background with spray foam and raise it up with egg crate. I want to plant the background. I plan to make spots for planting and I also want to attach moss to the background so I can have a waterfall flowing down over it all. I will use the hob to create the waterfall, I hope! Haha!

I don't know what I want to stock in the tank.

I have a lot of research and planning to do!!

I'm not sure. I'm sorry. I'm really new to this sort of thing.
