After 6 months "The Caves" is turned into a stunning paludarium. Mosses are growing very well.

hello Rajiv ji, how are you maintaining the humidity?
Is the front glass open?
How many PLLs are you using and wattage?
What kind of flow are you introducing?
Any specific source for the Hyderabadi rocks? may be PM me, I want to try.
Thank you, and you really have done an amazing work!! wish you made it more bigger. Thanks again

I am running a powerhead to wet the substrate 4-5 hours a day. Also using manual misting system. But in coming days, I will put a humidifier.saikumar wrote: how are you maintaining the humidity?

I got these rocks from Partha, when he transfered from Hydrabad. BTW these rocks are available in outer area of Hydrabad. I saw when I visited Shri Sailem.saikumar wrote:Any specific source for the Hyderabadi rocks? may be PM me, I want to try.

No filtration. Just a powerhead.saikumar wrote:what filter are you using for this whole setup?
Summers of Delhi are very warm and dry. I will run the rain system 24 hours. A small fan will cool the water of rain drops and it will reduce the temperature of whole setup.saikumar wrote: how do you think you ll tackle the summer with this setup?
