Serious question: Has anyone else actually had a paludarium work out long term?

My buddy from high school told me last year that a paludarium would be way easier than a regular fish tank because the plants filter everything. I set one up with a 10 gallon tank and some moss and it's been six months and I'm still fighting algae blooms every few weeks. Did I just mess up the setup or is this normal for someone new to the hobby?

Six months in and still fighting algae here too, it's honestly pretty normal. I had to add a tiny filter and cut way back on light before mine started settling down. What kind of lighting are you running on yours?

That whole 'plants filter everything' line is the biggest lie in this hobby.
