Another year is almost done, which means that an updated look at the animal room is due. It took a while to make this happen, so I hope the wait was worth it! Can't wait to show you all some of the other things I'm working on. You won't want to miss them! Also, the 150 Cube is already well under way - going to be EPIC! As for the 75 gallon tank, what should I do? Let me know!
@@Zer-db1bp I think I have a phobia for reptiles and other amphibians lol but I really enjoy watching these setups and would love to make one. Any suggestions on how to get over it and start?
@@travis_saldanha i know it’s an old comment, but I would recommend watching Snake Discovery’s channel, it definitely helped with my fear of reptiles !
I'm not into fish but I can honestly say that if I ever managed to visit a room like this, I could spend hours just watching each scape and see the fish swim around. Honestly, these scapes look so realistic I feel like I'd be watching them in their real habitat. Great update. Was late to watch this but happy to finally have time to see it.
What most impresses me with Tanner's room is the attention to detail, especially in the supporting equipment like the stands. So many "animal rooms" will create stunning enclosures and then skimp on everything surrounding them, it's like taking a beautiful painting and then using thumb tacks to put it on your wall. Would love to see a video on how to build a rack like the one you made for your 75 gallon aquariums.
Christmas came early! tanner I think every single person in the hobby is jealous how clean and organized and professional your animal room looks, especially since it is all diy
This is amazing. I’ve been working with animals for over 17 years and can’t wait to get to this standard of knowledge and ability to provide these enclosures
Phenomenal! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to an articulate, passionate individual who obviously has so much knowledge after years of research, Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible setup, the design of everything is so on-point, from the scaping in each tank to the furniture they are housed in, which is remarkable because I know from watching your videos for years that aesthetics can only ever come second, the number one concern is the welfare of the animals! After seeing so many videos from you, its nice to see a tour like this to have a sense of the current set-up IRL, because in a way your youtube channel is like, the eternal, infinite animal room with every project youve ever done, even if they`ve since been dismantled or repurposed. Great stuff, as always! (100% worth waiting an extra day for this video, that must have been SO much work!)
Wow. Never heard anyone so in touch with respecting every level of the food chain. Kept reptiles for years. Thought i had empathy until i saw this. Respect!
This is absolutely amazing!! The care and love you put forth for your animals is so evident in just the sheer work you put in to make them feel comfortable in their environments! Watching your videos always makes me super happy because I know that all the animals you keep are getting the utmost care, respect, and love they deserve. One of my favorite RUclipsrs and some of my favorite videos to watch and relax to!!
Thankyou for adressing betta's and tank mates. They are indeed all different. I saw on blogs en different pages that betta's can be kept with other fish. Mine wasn't having it either. Now he lives happy and alone in my tank, he is almost 1 year. 😊
Tanner, thank you for speaking out about long fin bettas. I recently lost one again as well and also decided to no longer buy them. Its just not fair for the fish and I'm glad you, with a big audience, speaks out about it. You were one of the inspirations for me to really get into aquariums, to the point where I own a few more "complicated" fish now. Keep up the great work! :)
As long as your set up accommodates for long fin fish (no rough surfaces and a slow water flow) then the fish should be just fine. But I draw the line at fish like bubble eye goldfish. The mutations on them are just cruel.
I agree. Before getting my betta I looked into articles about what gender/type of betta to chose and I don't remember any of them mentioning how much they can struggle. Now I have a double tail male and comparing him to females I see on the internet just makes me sad.
I discovered last year that I'm just too much of a novice for long fin bettas. It's easier for me to maintain a tank with a little bit of current, and it just doesn't do for a long fin betta. Obviously I'm not putting any bettas in stream tanks, but if a betta is stressed by the flow provided by a baffled HOB filter, it just doesn't seem right to keep one.
@@seasnailsplatoon762 I recommend putting a betta in at least a 10 gallon heavily planted aquarium. The larger aquarium will make the water parameters more stable and the plants will reduce algae, while removing toxins from the water.
@@rosestar7078 Wish I'd have learned as much before getting Little Tanner. I built an undergravel filter with biowheel return & heavily planted 60 gal, but--algea really knocked it all out. He's now in a 4gal, no plant quarantine (🥺for the holidays) with no leaves to sleep on! Any advice on how to keep the algea at bay? He was so happy in his big beautiful tank!
This was beyond awesome. I'd love to see the same style video done with your jar/closed terrariums to see how they've been doing and what's been successful, etc.
"Let me get off my soapbox though". I don't think you should. You're an expert in this field and you have years of hands on experience with these fish. If you aren't someone who should be speaking about ethics in vivariums, then I don't think there are many who could.
Someday I hope to see you doing an African Cichlids tank. Absolutely love your work and set ups. You're a part of the reason our entire house looks like a pet store lol wouldn't change a thing. ❤️
What an amazing room! I can’t wait to get an aquarium up and running in my house. As for that empty tank, it would be interesting to see you stretch your comfort zone with a more desert tank. Succulents/cacti, maybe a horny toad or something like that.
My dream room would look somewhat like this , the amout of talent and expertise this guy displays via his works always makes me awe loved all the tanks ❤️💯
So much respect for your entire setup! And the level of detail you got to go in was just so nice to watch. I love that you get to do and enjoy something that I can also relate to so much. Each little creature and plant in any setup has so much detail that I love to just watch in amazement. I finally started to go the more bioactive route a few years ago after watching you!
When you mentioned opening doors on the front of the 350 gallon, my mind pictured you opening the entire front and being flooded head on! Jokes aside, I've been watching your videos every week and it's incredible to experience your room in its entirety. I started my own journey in the hobby back in 2009 but kinda feel out of love with it several years ago. I still loved and cared for my animals just as much, but my excitement for vivarium design just wasn't there. Your content reminded me how much I enjoy building and maintaining mini-ecosystems and I've picked back up with renewed ambition. I've really upped my plant game since discovering your channel and now I think I have an addiction. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey with us. It always makes my day. See you next week!
I was talking with a friend about how I would love to have a room filled with vivariums and many different kinds of animals. So cool to see someone who has not only done this, but from scratch 👍👍👍 Super impressed and slightly envious ✌️😄
I’ve been looking so forward to this video! I love how the animal room has evolved over the years to the ambitious, complex builds and set-ups, to the simple ones- they all come together so perfectly!
I know it’s not nearly as “Natural” as some of the other tanks, but I really love the look of the ghost ship tank, even with the simplicity, it still really jumps out at you, and I also think how crystal clear the water is also really helps to make it stand out! Plus the fact that you just MADE the ship, out of safe random materials, really shows how creative and skilled you are when it comes to building and designing these tanks. Absolutely beautiful, I would LOVE to own something like that! I mean all of your tanks are super beautiful, but for someone like me who has very little knowledge when it comes to maintaining these tanks, it seems like a fairly low maintenance set up, which would definitely be a good place for someone like me to start! (I may also be totally wrong about how much upkeep it requires because again, I know very little. But just from looking at it, it seems to be fairly self sufficient, besides the excess algae you mentioned, but you seemed to know a fairly easy solution to that, so I hope it wouldn’t require constant work / changes! Regardless, this was such an interesting and gorgeous tour of your room. If I had something like this in my house, I don’t think I would ever use another room again lol
i was enjoying your tour alot. I love your focus on meeting the animal requirements with natural feelin habitats. thank you and greetings from germany.
I really appreciate that you try your best to create a natural healthy environment for all your fish, plants and creatures. I wish fish farms would do the same so they have a life before they are harvested for food.
I cannot believe the amount of work that went into all of these aquariums. The entire room is set perfectly and spotless whereas I struggle to keep up the simple apartment maintenance.
I can't even come up with a clever comment because this room is so beautiful. I want to live in it. Is the air crisp from all the oxygen? It looks like you've established an ancient forest level of plants in there which constantly blows me away. Can't wait to be back next week :)
I don't know much about fish, but I love the fact that though the aesthetic and design are incredible, they are secondary to the well being of the adorable aquatic wildlife (and spider)!
I so enjoyed the tour!! It's very heart warming to see I person who really cares about the welfare of the animals. Love the animal room. Keep it up kiddo. 💓💓💓
What an amazing accomplishment! I'll say, I thoroughly enjoyed this update. Everything is looking so cool, there wasn't a single setup that you talked about that wasn't spectacular. Your dedication to your animals, no matter the species, is really commendable. Lots of people choose not to care about the living things around them, especially if they're not human. But you work tirelessly to keep your passion alive, and you always strive to treat your animals well and provide them with enriching lives. You're a rare soul, Tanner!
This is such an incredible video! Thank you for always taking so much time and care with your videos AND your animals! Your love for your animals really resonates and is so apparent.
This is absolutely amazing, I love the attention to detail and the level of care and passion you have for the animals. Alot of people approach tank animals unattentively and it can lead to neglect but the level of attention you give these creatures is heartwarming. Every angle is well thought out when it comes to the tank and the overall environment it produces. This strikes an excitement in me as I someday wish to create this. You seem have an incredible skill in botany and woodworking. All of these hand in hand create an excellent hobby and lifestyle, because when you fully commit to these creatures it becomes part of your life. Thank you for the content you produce, I wasn't aware of you before this video but you have earned a sub!
One of my favorite RUclips channels man, been following for a few years and i love the animal room updates! I’m finishing college with environmental science and soon as I’m done I want to build a vivarium 😊
Tanner, you have one of my favorite channels in all of RUclips! I have been waiting for this animal room tour and you never disappoint. I am always rooting for you and excitedly anticipating the project you share with us next!
Thanks for all your creativity, that can inspire us less creative. And many thanks for showing your diy videos. Your are an excellent teacher. Keep doing what your are doing so very great. And keep evolving, so we can evolve and learn too.
i just found your channel a few days ago and ive really enjoyed seeing all these different tanks youve created! i was very lucky to find you right now it seems, because after getting a patchwork story from hopping around various videos, im now fully up to speed thanks to this one! i think the ones im most happy to see are the pea puffer aquascape (i was so worried the algae would force you to redo the tank entirely!!) and the 350 paludarium (its just so big and lively!!!!) looking forward to seeing what you do next and im glad to be a part of the squad now (-:
So amazing!! I wouldn't wanna leave the room. Seriously! I would love to see a gf for your African bullfrog. He does seem a bit lonesome. I just love them all but I'm so curious as to what's going in the new huge one...?
i've been a follower of this channel for years and it really has expanded my view of what is art but my knowledge of what animals in tanks need to survive and thrive - but not even just that - to appreciate the different personalities and mannerisms of all the different fish and lizards - things I never even considered to have such distinct personalities. But as a rat owner, I feel like I should have known. This showed me to never underestimate any animal and their attitudes/preferences. It makes me so beyond happy so see how good of a life they have with you.
WOW, Tanner!! Just Wow! It's amazing what a dedicated, inventive and innovated artist can accomplish! You showcase those qualities and so much more! It's because of you and your videos tat I got back into keeping fish again, after 25-30 years. Nothing like yours, just a 55 and a 29 gallon. They're not bad, just nothing special. Although my brother, who kept a lot of tanks also, including a 200+ gal. Saltwater tank, said my tanks look really good, which really means a lot to me. Thank you, (and I'm sure many others feel the same way) for sharing the love and enthusiasm you bring to the hobby!!! God Bless Tanner, and keep doing what you have been doing so well! You know, reading back through the post, I don't know if I used enough explanation points (lol) ;-)
Hey man this is the first vid of yours I've ever seen and I HAD to comment. Absolutely amazing imo, good camera editing, amazingly clear details, very good explanations while not "dragging on" on any topic and amazing displays... I will absolutely be back for more and you've earnt yourself another subscriber today!! :)))
I can't keep a goldfish bowl from turning green and this dude got crystal clear tanks everywhere. Also I'm pretty stoned and find your videos extremely satisfying.
Great work Tanner.....looks marvelous and I always appreciate the fact that you put the animal's needs first! Maybe nice to set up the 75 gallon tank for Axolotls? WOuld be great to see those!
Absolutely incredible! Have you ever considered live streaming a few tanks for some ASMR-esque videos and allowing people to just look at and admire your animals/tanks? It'd be nice to just watch your animals interacting on top of your builds and upgrades
I‘m sure, that the 600 Gallon Vivarium will be stocked with frogs. I would guess Dart Frogs or Agalychnes. Finally a room tour, good thing to see all these magnificent setups again. Keep going like this
Made me really happy when you mentioned Rooibos tea, because I'm drinking a cup right now! I'm from South Africa and we're very proud of this amazing tea. Thanks for the video. Love settling down to watch your stuff , really relaxing. Even though I don't do anything like this myself.
This is so sick its always amazing seeing the hard work you put into these set ups, you go deep into prioritizing the beauty while also giving the animals a great life and place to live! Have you ever thought of doing a newt setup? :D
What a fantastic collection but my favourite was the little jumping spider & for some reason Cleopatra came to mind with her beautiful Green crown & black hair maybe Cleo for short but all in all l enjoyed all the tanks so thanks for all the information 🕷🪳🐠
its 2:30 in the morning and this is so therapeutic to watch. very educational and lovely. i can truly see how much effort you put into this video. amazing and stunning set up you have. keep going and have a nice day!
I’ve only ever owned dogs and cats so i know absolutely nothing about owning fish, reptiles and amphibians. But i must say i am extremely impressed with the quality of your tanks. I can tell they took a lot of time effort and research. It shows how much you truly care about your animals. Love that. 💜
I just found this gut and have been watching him in between my online classes, he is so amazing at his passion and he creates beautiful pieces of art work, keep up the great work!
I have a question, do you ever struggle with mosquitos laying eggs in your tanks? I've been wanting to keep an open top tank but I've been worried about them. (I haven't started my tank yet and have been doing more research )
true passion is when you make a little jumping spider cutout for a 3 second clip in your 45min video. serpa is a gem glad he hit 1m finally he deserves it
This is an absolute dream Animal room. I could hangout in there all day lol and as a carpenter I really appreciate your craftsmanship 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 I really admire all your work.
Incredable .....I'm.absolutly in awe of your talent ,experience and knowledge of every component you've added to every individual tank ... I feel such a sense joy and privilege experiencing all your animals and their very individually environment...
I absolutely think your dedication is somewhat inspiring and your DIY approach to the hobby makes you a role model. Keep up the awesome work with your animals and share your experiences with all of us, please.
Another year is almost done, which means that an updated look at the animal room is due. It took a while to make this happen, so I hope the wait was worth it! Can't wait to show you all some of the other things I'm working on. You won't want to miss them!
Also, the 150 Cube is already well under way - going to be EPIC! As for the 75 gallon tank, what should I do? Let me know!
hello
@@mrkrabs5729 hi
Recommendation: use Irish moss
maybe a rainbow wolffish since you don't have real predatory fish
Congrats on 1 milli Tanner! Were all proud of ya
Amazing room Tanner! That 600 gallon for sure reminds me of the Central American jungle. You nailed it!
That's what I was going for! Obviously the plants don't totally match up, but if I can get the vibe that's good enough.
A Central American jungle with a few invasive species lol
It's one of the most amazing things I've ever seen! 😍
@@SerpaDesign hey you know when you built the mini corktop terrariums? I made one. I'm excited to see how it goes:)
Hey I watch you as well as tanner amazing content from both channels
Not into aquariums, but appreciate a man who knows his stuff.
I started with aquariums and now I’m a complete invertebrate nerd. Isopods, whip scorpions, millipedes, etc.
same, dude is impressive, but ima snake guy

What most impresses me with Tanner's room is the attention to detail, especially in the supporting equipment like the stands. So many "animal rooms" will create stunning enclosures and then skimp on everything surrounding them, it's like taking a beautiful painting and then using thumb tacks to put it on your wall. Would love to see a video on how to build a rack like the one you made for your 75 gallon aquariums.

I think he lives off of well water
Love the longer videos. Keep up the good work Tanner 🔥

So amazing!! I wouldn't wanna leave the room. Seriously! I would love to see a gf for your African bullfrog. He does seem a bit lonesome. I just love them all but I'm so curious as to what's going in the new huge one...?
i've been a follower of this channel for years and it really has expanded my view of what is art but my knowledge of what animals in tanks need to survive and thrive - but not even just that - to appreciate the different personalities and mannerisms of all the different fish and lizards - things I never even considered to have such distinct personalities. But as a rat owner, I feel like I should have known. This showed me to never underestimate any animal and their attitudes/preferences. It makes me so beyond happy so see how good of a life they have with you.
WOW, Tanner!! Just Wow!
It's amazing what a dedicated, inventive and innovated artist can accomplish! You showcase those qualities and so much more!
It's because of you and your videos tat I got back into keeping fish again, after 25-30 years. Nothing like yours, just a 55 and a 29 gallon. They're not bad, just nothing special. Although my brother, who kept a lot of tanks also, including a 200+ gal. Saltwater tank, said my tanks look really good, which really means a lot to me.
Thank you, (and I'm sure many others feel the same way) for sharing the love and enthusiasm you bring to the hobby!!!
God Bless Tanner, and keep doing what you have been doing so well!
You know, reading back through the post, I don't know if I used enough explanation points (lol) ;-)
that betta setup is insane, i adore naturalistic setups
Hey man this is the first vid of yours I've ever seen and I HAD to comment. Absolutely amazing imo, good camera editing, amazingly clear details, very good explanations while not "dragging on" on any topic and amazing displays... I will absolutely be back for more and you've earnt yourself another subscriber today!! :)))
I can't keep a goldfish bowl from turning green and this dude got crystal clear tanks everywhere. Also I'm pretty stoned and find your videos extremely satisfying.
Great work Tanner.....looks marvelous and I always appreciate the fact that you put the animal's needs first! Maybe nice to set up the 75 gallon tank for Axolotls? WOuld be great to see those!
Could listen to you for hours. Your passion and knowledge ist outstanding.
Absolutely incredible! Have you ever considered live streaming a few tanks for some ASMR-esque videos and allowing people to just look at and admire your animals/tanks? It'd be nice to just watch your animals interacting on top of your builds and upgrades
I want to watch the firebellied toads for hours!
🙏🏼👍🏽🌱🐸🐌🐠🐡🦈🐟🌿🌊🪨🍂
I think that he has done this before, actually
@@GoneFishin-rn9hs I know he's done an ASMR video before, but it'd just be nice to watch his animals doing their thing
If you'd include each plant, snail, tiny fish, etc. This single man takes care of sooooo many lives!!! Wholey moely
This… is purely incredible. It is a dream to have a room like that, custom built and all🥺
The individuality if all these tanks are incredible. Really shows your passion
I am totally diggin' the vibe of this room! Your work is amazing and well presented.
Fish for Thought would call this tour a 5/5!
I‘m sure, that the 600 Gallon Vivarium will be stocked with frogs. I would guess Dart Frogs or Agalychnes.
Finally a room tour, good thing to see all these magnificent setups again. Keep going like this
So, not monkeys?
Idk maybe leachieanas?
Corallus hortulanus?
@@temushin marmosets!
Made me really happy when you mentioned Rooibos tea, because I'm drinking a cup right now! I'm from South Africa and we're very proud of this amazing tea. Thanks for the video. Love settling down to watch your stuff , really relaxing. Even though I don't do anything like this myself.
This is so sick its always amazing seeing the hard work you put into these set ups, you go deep into prioritizing the beauty while also giving the animals a great life and place to live! Have you ever thought of doing a newt setup? :D
Maybe I have 😉
I was mesmerized and greatly inspired. You are a gentle animal loving genius.
Your scapes are just so beautiful. I find watching your videos really relaxing.
Beautiful , it's more then just cages , it's art. I love it. Also I hope you never have to move lol
Oh man. Can you imagine how awful it would be to try and even plan out moving all that? Oof.
What a fantastic collection but my favourite was the little jumping spider & for some reason Cleopatra came to mind with her beautiful Green crown & black hair maybe Cleo for short but all in all l enjoyed all the tanks so thanks for all the information 🕷🪳🐠
its 2:30 in the morning and this is so therapeutic to watch. very educational and lovely. i can truly see how much effort you put into this video. amazing and stunning set up you have. keep going and have a nice day!
This is how my villagers’ houses look like in animal crossing, before I found out that they will put out everything you gift them in display ☠️
That massive 6x7 foot enclosure is a dream! Would be perfect for a pair of tree monitors! 😍
Wow!! I wouldn't be able to get anything done. I'd be sitting and staring at the tanks all day. This is fabulous!! GREAT JOB!
This is so awesome. You should just open a zoo
Fabulous job!!! 48 minutes zoomed by. Loved every minute . Thanks for sharing
I’ve only ever owned dogs and cats so i know absolutely nothing about owning fish, reptiles and amphibians. But i must say i am extremely impressed with the quality of your tanks. I can tell they took a lot of time effort and research. It shows how much you truly care about your animals. Love that. 💜
I just found this gut and have been watching him in between my online classes, he is so amazing at his passion and he creates beautiful pieces of art work, keep up the great work!
I have a question, do you ever struggle with mosquitos laying eggs in your tanks? I've been wanting to keep an open top tank but I've been worried about them. (I haven't started my tank yet and have been doing more research )
Moving water
It isnt just an "Animal Room"... it's an exhibit in a zoo! This is the most elaborate setup I've ever seen. It's definitely a life goal lol
From this we can see how if someone likes something, they will do it wholeheartedly.
Yh I totally agree! Big Tony really is happy with you. Thanks so much for helping him ❤️
true passion is when you make a little jumping spider cutout for a 3 second clip in your 45min video. serpa is a gem glad he hit 1m finally he deserves it
I love that your black water tank has rasboras in it, they LOVE blackwater
Awesome collection and impressive enclosures. I can tell you love what you do. Your voice reminds me of the old Disney movies on Nature.
Anyone else happy Gabe left Saber and pursued his passion of reptiles👍
watching again in 2024 after multiple times, under rated content!
This is an absolute dream Animal room. I could hangout in there all day lol and as a carpenter I really appreciate your craftsmanship 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 I really admire all your work.
I didn't think Jared could be any more of a chad, but his office is full of amazing tanks and animals. This guy definitely fuqxz
Incredable .....I'm.absolutly in awe of your talent ,experience and knowledge of every component you've added to every individual tank ...
I feel such a sense joy and privilege experiencing all your animals and their very individually environment...
How did I live all this time without knowing this channel? Following from today all videos. straight from brazil
Holy crap. First aquarium and I am blown away. Incredible talent you have.
I absolutely think your dedication is somewhat inspiring and your DIY approach to the hobby makes you a role model. Keep up the awesome work with your animals and share your experiences with all of us, please.
This is probably the coolest video I’ve ever seen! I’m blown away! You should charge people to visit as a small museum…
