How to filter a paludarium

[lferg]

Wife just got home and said it looks like I covered a brick with sand. I thought it looked kinda natural...

I quite for a while! I got some "Ultra Reef" fresh water sand..... $10.00 worth which is 10 lbs. I follow directions as in soaking it and stuff...... This stuff SUCKS!!!!! Most of it ended up on the bottom so I had to mix gravel and sand on the "beach". I am very aggravated. So here is what I ended up with and this is how it will stay for a WHILE! (the cloudyness will subside in a while)

yeah, you're going to need a retaining wall and some plants to keep the sand in place.

you might consider lowering your water line a bit, and making the island lower too... to give your plants some room
