Maintenance routine
Fertilizing - JBL Ferropol every morning and KNO3, KH2PO4 - every night. Air plants are growing attached to cork bark and driftwood and get fertilized with sprinkled tank water once a week. Terrestrial plants can take nutrients from water through hydroponic pellets layer. Additionally their leaves get sprinkled 4 times daily from automatic misting system and they get additional moisture from two ultrasonic foggers. Water is changed 50% once a week.
Description
This is a high-tech nature style paludarium inspired from mountain waterfall landscapes. Special attention was made to waterfalls. I wanted to create a natural looking multi-cascade waterfall. The bigger one at right side uses two water pumps - 1800 l/h and 600l/h and ultrasonic fogger at water outflow. Another 1800 l/h pump runs the left side waterfall with second ultrasonic fogger. Water filtration is done by 120 liter SUMP below the display tank with 1800 l/h return pump where external CO2 reactor is added.
