Have Questions About UNS Foresta Paludariums?
We have answers. Get quick help for common questions.
What is a paludarium?
A paludarium is a type of vivarium that combines both aquatic and terrestrial environments in one display. It allows hobbyists to keep aquatic plants and fish alongside emergent plants, mosses, and terrarium species. The Ultum Nature Systems Foresta Paludarium takes this concept further by integrating a built-in filtration system, waterfall, and misting unit, making it easy to maintain a healthy, balanced ecosystem.
What plants work best in a paludarium?
Paludariums are ideal for humidity-loving plants such as mosses, ferns, orchids, Bucephalandra, and Anubias. Thanks to the Foresta atomizer mist maker and cascading waterfall wall, the environment maintains higher humidity, creating perfect conditions for tropical plants. Both aquatic and emergent species thrive in these setups, making them versatile for aquascapers and terrarium enthusiasts.
How do the UNS 35E and 60E differ?
The UNS 35E Paludarium is a compact model with a 3-gallon aquatic display and 3.3-gallon chamber, making it ideal for desktops or smaller spaces. The UNS 60E Paludarium is larger, with a 5.4-gallon display and 7-gallon chamber, offering more room for aquascaping, planting, and advanced hybrid setups. Both feature the same premium rimless glass construction and integrated Foresta technology.
Can I keep fish in a UNS Paludarium?
Yes, the UNS 35E and 60E Paludariums can safely house small fish, shrimp, or snails in the aquatic section. The integrated triple-chamber filtration system ensures clean water and healthy circulation, while the rimless low-iron glass provides crystal-clear viewing of your livestock. Always choose livestock suited to smaller aquarium volumes and ensure water parameters are appropriate for the species.
What is included with the UNS 35E and 60E Paludariums?
Both the 35E and 60E Foresta models include a rear triple-chamber filtration system, a circulation pump, coarse sponges, an atomizer misting unit with bracket, and a cascading waterfall wall. They also come with accessories such as plant pads, plant thread, a chamber lid, and a leveling mat, providing everything needed to get started with your paludarium build.
Are UNS Paludariums suitable for beginners?
Yes, the Ultum Nature Systems Foresta Paludarium series is suitable for beginners and advanced aquarists alike. The built-in filtration, misting, and waterfall systems reduce the need for external equipment, making maintenance simple. At the same time, the high-quality design and customization options make these paludariums equally appealing to experienced hobbyists looking for advanced hybrid ecosystems.
