After starting with a paludarium last year, it was time for something bigger and better. My dad and I built it entirely out of plywood and sealed it with liquid rubber from the inside. Dimensions are 32x24x47. Total height is 82 inches.
As I like having a water feature I have a 4 inch false bottom with water. The soil in the back right corner is elevated with a big layer of coarse filter foam. The waterfall is ran by a canister filter for easy cleaning and loaded with biological filter media. I knew the waterfall would make everything a big mess, so I opted for no soil in the rest of the enclosure. Instead I let water run freely over the entire left and middle area, which I’m sure the javamoss will love.

Do you have a step by step? Or a list of full materials? Curious how you made the opening and what locking mechanism you used.
