WORKSHOPS / PALUDADRIUM
Paludarium Workshop in Singapore
Join a hands-on paludarium workshop in Singapore and build your own land and water ecosystem using a MIUS tank — combining structure, planting, and water flow into a balanced system.
What You’ll Create
A dual-environment ecosystem combining land and water
Create your own paludarium using a MIUS tank, designed with a planted land section and a flowing water system. Each build forms a balanced ecosystem where structure, water, and planting work together over time.
What You’ll Do
A guided build from water base to final ecosystem
You’ll build your paludarium step-by-step, starting from the water system, shaping the land structure, and finishing with planting and balancing the full setup.
Build the Base / Water Foundation
Setting up the water system and base structure
Begin with the base of the paludarium, including the water section and pump system. The pump, casing, and river bank rock structure are pre-installed and prepared to your preferred layout.
Build the Land / Structure and Planting
Developing the terrain and planting zones
Build up the land section using substrate and moss, shaping the terrain to create a natural transition between land and water.
Refine & Balance / Final Ecosystem
Completing the system and balancing environment
Adjust planting, water flow, and layout to complete a stable and visually balanced paludarium.

Common Questions
Key details before you join
Do I need prior experience?

No — the system is designed to be stable and requires only simple, periodic maintenance.
Will there mosquitoes?
No — proper water flow prevents stagnant conditions where mosquitoes breed.
Real Workshop Results
Each paludarium follows the same system, but varies in layout, water flow, and planting style — resulting in unique builds from every participant.
