(Mainly) Carnivorous Paludarium

What is going to be the water feature.
I have sponges and filter floss throughout, partially to help with shape, but also so water can drain through, as the pump is overkill!

I haven't forgotten!
Just super busy with work.
Apparently every single dwelling in waterloo region, except mine, has bedbugs...

I have my mopani. I have my plants started.
Waiting to get more foam tomorrow and hopefully have it essentially set up, by the end of March!

I do have a question, though...

Do y'all think I'll need a lid, or should I be alright?
There's a water feature, there's gonna be a fogger. It'll be misted daily and it's gonna be... Well... Boggy!

I thought I posted the hardscape, but I guess I didn't!
I got that started!

Kinda blurry, but it's the only one that will post...

Nice!

For me, a lid is important to build up the humidity.
At least a partial lid.

Foam is almost done and my frame is in place!

Gonna give it 2 days to cure, then, it's onto the most amazing and fun part;
Silicone and peat moss, FFS...

Not stoked. Not stoked at all...

(As some of you may notice, I removed the section on the right. It wasn't working out as well as I had intended and it also made the tank cluttered!

I may end up making a small 'island', around the base of the mopani that rests on the bottom of the tank, though!)

Almost finished with the background. Now I'm pretty much just waiting on funds!

Life has been full of ups and downs.

Here's today's update.

Despite many setbacks, both with the build and with life - I'm just about done with the build!
