Hey Guys,
I haven't logged on here in a couple weeks due to vacation and all.
I have a 10G paludarium that is divided (siliconed so no water can get from the land side to the water side). On the land side, I had some sundews and VFTs. They weren't growing too well because they were just moved there and I guess they were loosing leaves for new growth (?). Anyway, I had a small pond pump in the water area to make a sort of waterfall through these rocks. When I got back from vacation, I came home to a flooded paludarium, with half the water in the water side. It probably happened early in the week and my vfts lost all their leaves and the sundews lost the little hairs. The water area had tap water since I had some Vampire Crabs and freshwater shrimps.
I'm thinking about starting over with CPs and doing it right again. I switched the pump to a sponge filter which would benefit me a lot.
Could I just leave the land area to dry up and then just starting over or should I just replace everything with fresh new peat?
Any ideas?
