They each share details of their experiences over the years in building paludariums, their successes and mistakes, as well as the details in building these types of enclosures – step by step. From types of enclosures you can build a paludarium in, filtration systems and equipment, hardscape materials and leaf litter, to managing waste from animals is discussed at length.
