Plaudarium

I am looking for information to build a paludarium (river tank) for my husband. Do you guys know of any good sites I can reference? I know I will be using at least a 70 gallon tall glass tank.

Thanks

I don't know any sites off the top of my head but I've built them before, what are you planning on doing? I assume keeping some type of lizards or amphibians and some fish?

Not a lot of sites, but I have had a few myself, the smallest was in a 20 gal tank (only about 2-3gals of water with Anols, a fire belly toad and guppies), to a much larger setup that had 45gals of water alone - there are a few picks in my gallery if you want to see. I have had red eyed tree frogs, many geckos and other lizzards. What are you wondering?
A 70gal tall sounds like a great tank for a paludarium. The hardest part is filtration and lighting. Humidity, ventalation and heating can add to the fun too. What do you want to keep?

I believe www.plantedtank.net has a forum for plaudariums if I remember correctly. It's been a while.

I should have been more explicit. We would like to house fish, frogs, and maybe two geckos.
