As some of you know I have a 4x2x2 tank in my wall that we are making into a Paludarium. (Don't know how to spell that word) This thread is just going to be a progress thread. Right now we just have the very base stuff in and glued. In the bottom part of the tank there is going to be an axolotl and some little fish and in the top half it is going to be some Green Anole's and mabye some tree frogs or a day gecko. The part with the water is everything under the eggcrating and in both bottom corners of the tank it goes into little caves were the axolotl and the fish can hide. Most of the eggcrating is going to be covered with concrete type stuff and on the actual land of the tank it is going to be a mixture of stuff like coco husk and moss. On top of that it is going to be vines and live plants and fake plants and stuff like that. So here is what it looks like right now.

Edit: The tank looks a little bit different now but it is mostly the same. These pictures are from a couple days ago.

I know I already said that it would take a while and I didn't mean this long but we are finally starting to work on it again. Nothing visual yet but just pipeing and stuff. Just wanted to tell you that there will be some progress in the next little while.

Yay! We got more visual stuff done and tested to make sure there are no water leaks. The water test was sucessfull. Will be updating with pics soon just in the progress of doing some stuff and my camera is dead so I will take some pics of when we are finished for the day.

Here are some pics (sorry they are crappy they were taken on my laptop.) The bottom is all water because we were testing it out and yea this is it. The bottom half is mostly done for now we will be able to put fish in there soon. The top half for the lizards and stuff is going to be a while but that is ok.
