A Year Ago I Built a Saltwater Paludarium, This Happened

Exactly one year ago, I set up this massive saltwater paludarium — a hybrid between a reef tank and a mangrove ecosystem. ????????

In this video, I look back at everything I’ve learned from running this unique setup: the challenges, the growth, and all the lessons that came with maintaining a shallow reef tank that combines saltwater and terrestrial plants!

From the IKEA cabinet base to the custom egg crate structure, hidden flow system, and thriving mangroves, this project pushed the limits of traditional reef aquariums. We’ll cover everything from lighting (Illumagic X4) and flow design to the macroalgae species, coral challenges, and the clever way I keep my plants watered using RODI.

Whether you’re into reef keeping, macroalgae tanks, or paludariums, this deep dive will inspire your next aquarium project.
