Mediterranean Seawater Tank with Paludarium 10/2021

 It's been a while... During the pandemic not many occasions to head to the seas. But things are going on. I had a short episode of combining a sea water tank with a paludarium. A rock overgrown with mosses and tiny plants on top of a marine tank. This was managed with a fresh water reservoir integrated in the marine tank setup on top of which the rock was set and pieces of rope drove freshwater into the planted rock. So far in theory. In reality salt was "crawling" into the freshwater reservoir and salt water sprays harmed the vegetation on the rock. Still an idea that deserves to be realized some day in a better way, because it combines the two most attractive forms of aquariums in one...
