This is very interesting.... Phillip.
Since your home and your paludarium are both under construction, it is a bit difficult to make out what the paludarium could be like since the room itself is not ready. What fish or aquatic plants are you planning in particular?
The terrestrial plants would be very interesting too, I am sure. Do you have some in pots now?
I think a paludarium is a very good idea as an attraction in a room if you are willing to take trouble to think it over carefully, it will be challenging to integrate it with the room and strike the right balance between it and the other things one keeps in a room. ... I have a book somewhere that shows a drawing room full of plants, the author says it is possible with good ventilation and lighting, but humidity needs to be monitored carefully.
BTW, I hope you can post an introduction for yourself soon in the self-introduction thread. It helps members understand you and your approach better. It might even gives us some material to make suggestions for your paludarium, since familiarity with large tanks, aquatic plants, terrestrial plants, gardening, access to sources for the same, could make a big difference to your ability to make the best use of this space you have chosen for bringing Nature right to your living room.
