An incredible little paludarium that is kept outside during summer and indoors in cold nights. I had the pleasure to see it live, and it is completely lovely. Congratulations Charo, from El Acuario Gallego, and keep us posted with updates.

Hi funnyfoxes55!!!
Carpeting with lowtech is slow and difficult. The best plants for that challenge are probably marsilea hirsuta and micranthemun monte carlo. And of course, a little bit of rich substrate for plants (like amazonia, etc) would help :)

Aquarium Shop: AQA Espai, Barcelona, Spain
Taking advantage of my trip to Iberzoo in Barcelona, I enjoyed the opportunity to visit a beautiful shop, AQA Espai, managed by Enrique. He, like me, comes from an IT consultancy background, and one day decided to follow his dreams. The aquarium at the entrance, that can be seen on one the pictures, was created by Bernat Hosta.
This shop, together with Iwagumi, are 2 shops specialised in Aquascaping in Barcelona.
