UNS 60E - Foresta Integrated Paludarium V2
Product Overview
The UNS Foresta 60E Integrated Paludarium V2 is a self-contained ecosystem designed to cultivate both aquatic and terrestrial plant life in a single enclosure. This rimless system features an integrated rear filtration chamber, an active waterfall wall, and an ultrasound atomizer. The updated waterfall lip features an extended protrusion that creates a defined, consistent water cascade across the background, promoting ideal humidity levels for tropical epiphytes, mosses, and terrestrial species.
Key Features & Benefits
- 91% Diamant Ultra-Clear Glass: Low-iron glass construction provides high-definition clarity without the greenish distortion of standard glass.
- Updated V2 Waterfall Lip: Features an extended 0.5-inch protrusion for improved water distribution across the plant wall and a consistent drip pattern.
- Integrated Atomizer Mist Maker: Includes an ultrasound mister and dedicated mounting bracket to generate a cooling mist, sustaining high-humidity environments for delicate flora.
- Rear Chamber Filtration: Built-in rear sump conceals the water pump, bio sponge media, and atomizer, maintaining clean water without visible external equipment.
- Plant Mounting Accessories Included: Comes with Foresta Mat plant pads and synthetic moss thread to anchor epiphytes and mosses directly to the hardscape.
- Acoustic Leveling Mat Included: Pre-cut dense foam pad absorbs micro-vibrations and levels surface irregularities to prevent glass stress point cracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does the V2 update improve the Foresta 60E system?
The V2 iteration extends the waterfall lip by 0.5 inches over the rear wall. This revision prevents water from clinging back into the chamber wall, creating a clean drip cascade that evenly hydrates background plants and mosses.
2. Is daily manual misting required for plants in the Foresta 60E?
No. The combination of the continuous waterfall wall and the integrated Atomizer Mist Maker maintains high humidity levels automatically, making manual spraying unnecessary for most tropical species.
3. What is the purpose of the included Foresta Mats and Thread?
Foresta Mats are water-retentive pads used as root anchors for mosses, ferns, and epiphytes. The included synthetic thread secures plant roots to the mats or background structures until they establish naturally.
