About Yourself: I am a 3D animator that has been an aquarist for about a year... I kept many terrariums in the past 2 years. I was into plants first and it led me from houseplants to keeping terrariums to creating aquariums and paludariums. I spend an average of 10 hours a week keeping up this tank. It is a great joy. Thank you for looking at it. It is an honor to have you view it.

My fillter works by drawing water up into the rear of the lid, where there are 4 comparments and drops back in. But i want to make a paludarium. Do i have to change the fillter to an canister type.
