How can I turn a 37g into a paludarium?

Yeah, I meant the 12" measure of the tank..... It would be cool if the water streamed down back and forth. (zig zagging from right to left, while moving towards the water.
 
If the tank is empty now, then I reccomend cutting out some cardboard and mocking up what your trying to accomplish. You'll get a rough feel for sizing, something can look good on papar but not translate well to the real thing. Good luck!
 
If your thinking og gettinf fbts, id recommend getting soee water sprite. My fbts love jumping on them and soaking themselves. They also hold up the frog to give more space for the frogs to play around in.
 
Why not just restock the tank, and make a riparium. IMO ripariums look nicer than paludariums, and you can stick to keeping fish while still having a really nice looking unique set-up.
 
PM'd you back, and yeah those guys are awesome.

For a skipper tank, you would have to go low end brackish. I'm not sure if Endlers would work in it, but I think guppies can go brackish. (I know mollies and platies can).

Your going to need a fair amount of land for them, you could do something similar to chrisinator's palu, where you divide land and water using sillicone and glass.

I'm really interested to see what you do with it, because I'm building the exact same type of set-up (37 with skippers)

Your PM box is full now!

I know that Endlers would work. The lagoon they're found in opens into the ocean. I used to keep mine at low end brackish when I was trying to get maximum production. Now I keep 'em at pure fresh and 76*F to slow them down.

I like Chris's palu, but I'm thinking more of a sandbank with a waterfall in there somewhere. Not unlike shaynablizard's tank. Also, I might be scuba diving in the Keys this summer, I might have to smuggle some mangrove pods back to maryland.

That's cool about us having the same setup!
