The UNS Foresta 35E 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.

1. How does the V2 update improve the Foresta 35E 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 35E?
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.

"I haven't set it up completely but I know im going to have so much fun with it as a beginner and i love how beautiful and simple it is!"
"Buceplant was excellent. Fast shipping and well packaged. I was updated throughout the order and shipment. The UNS Foresta I was a little disappointed in. The glass was broke or splintered off near where the overflow tube sits in and the groove or "U" shaped notch where the overflow tube sits in was defective and not cut big enough for the overflow tube to sit in. . . therefore the back lid does not sit flat or lay properly. I am going to try and sand the glass groove so it fits properly."
"Amazing quality"
"I scaped this for a client and found it very easy to set up and created a seamless way to have a moss wall for your paludarium. Still there were two problems to note. First the back was not completely sealed so some of the water would drip down to the pump creating a loud dripping noise. I couldn't patch it with silicone due to it already being set up for the customer but plumbing epoxy seemed to the do the job. Also it would be great if UNS sold a front cover that could be put on for holiday or at night to keep humidity and moisture in. The water level of this small paludarium halves in 4-5 days when the atomizer is running, requiring more maintenance. I can imagine a cover could extend that to a weekly maintenance. Despite this I would still recommend this for any aquascaping hobbyist."
"I really wish they would offer this with a stepped rock wall looking background with different ledge spaces to attach plants. It would just look so much nicer and much more natural. Here’s hoping their listening."
"Great customer service & quality!"
"I’ve won one of these since I saw an ada all in one palladium. I ordered it within five minutes of getting the message in my email from booze plant and I’m so glad I dad I catch myself just staring at the mist Falling down around the plants. I hope they come out with the bigger and smaller ones in the future I will definitely be buying again!"
"What an incredible paludarium! Every detail on this tank has been thought of! Includes everything you need to get started! I hope they make more of these in bigger sizes! 🙏"
