Your English is great. Don’t ever apologize for your accent. I live in the States and you speak better English then a lot of people I come across. Thank you for the great video!!
This is very well done. You got excellent results. No need to ever apologize for your English or that items are in French. People will understand. Remember, you are providing a great service to people seeking this information and your subscribers. Thank you.
Your English is good and the instructions are easy to understand. Well done. Thank you.
Thank you very much
Your english is really good dont worry
Thankyou ❤ I know you say your English is not good but I can understand you. I am going to use this to make fake rocks for my daughters for sensory play. They have mermaids, sharks, crabs and pretend fish.
I will use this to make a nice play area “under the sea”
Thank you from Australia!
Thank you very much
Your English is just fine! It's okay even if it wasn't as English is one of the hardest languages to learn.
Bro your English is fine thanks for helping me out 😄
Your English was very good man.
Don't worry about it!
Looks awesome!
your good man we can understand you well
Your tutorials are great
Trop cool ton tuto! Ton anglais est super et ton accent te rend très sympa! Merci pour tes explication!!!
Your english isn't bad and you make good videos.
Thank you very much
@@Terrarium-Construction I would also add that I would never have thought of attaching a pipe to a filter. It filters the water and pumps it up there at the same time. Thank you for letting me know of this great idea!
Feel free to comment and ask questions! And you can use subtitles I made if my English sucks to much ;)
Ur English is fine :)
I've got 5 vivs, waiting for me to brave the water features! It's jus gotta be perfect 😂 😅
just discovered your channel, I love how through your videos are! a lot of the videos on stuff like this gloss over the details which I find very frustrating, thank you.
Your carving is beautiful! Thank you very much for sharing your videos. I find them very helpful!
Elle est au top ta vidéo et merci de t'être cassé la tête à faire une traduction pour les anglos ! Je checker justement sur youtube pour faire une cascade à intégrer dans le nouveau terra de mon dragon d'eau et ta vidéo est de loin la meilleure que j'ai vue. Merci encore et bravo pour tes réalisations :)

Merci beaucoup ;)
THANKS A LOT. Perfect description
Really nice tutorial, with neat animations! Thanks!
But i have to say that your 'Next' linker sequence is annoying.
Thanks for your feedback, i will try to find another linker sequence...
Thanks for sharing.
are you sealing the acrylic paint after you finish the dry brush method on the fake rocks?
Very impressive and inspiring! Love your art - carving those rocks and painting them with such detail. Thanks for the explanation.
My 12yo and I are building a snake vivarium with a water feature, which may or may not end up with fish. I know the silicone needs to be aquarium grade. Does mortar also come with a 'similar' rating, or will any kind do (without poisoning the water)?
Thank you :) for mortars, there are two solutions. You can use standard mortar then epoxy resin on it or you can use special mortar for drinking water tank such as Sikatop 121 of brand Sika.
Do you not have to put a sealant over the grout to stop it from eroding over time in the water? I want to make some pond rocks
No but use cement rather than tile grout to make the stones. And to be totally sure you can use two options: you can use epoxy resin like I did in my very last video or use a product which is called Sikatop 121 but I don't know if it is sold in all countries.
Bruv your English is way better than mine and English is my mother longe
you do know that proper English comes from England right, and we here in the US have mangled it and twisted it into what we have today. so it would only be his accent and perhaps any slang words that have been picked up through the decades that we may not truly understand as they are the Mother language of US!!! Try remebering your elementary history, the Revolutionary War, when we sercured our Independence From the British (the ENGLISH speaking) control. smh. i'm thinking you must be very young as they have stopped teaching the impotant parts of American history in schools.
@@marytramp5678 I'm just trying to be polite to this lovely person. I don't speak proper English whatsoever I stated that I actually speak English and I could understand him fine you fool.
Very nice but how do you get to the pump if it needs a good clean
I can approach a water tank and unplug the pump for cleaning. No problem at all.
Great video!
It’s difficult to see / read the i ingredients... will you please list them?
Is the foam you are using waterproof?
foam is a plastic and is not bio degrabeable therefore i would be waterproof. however, it does have holes in it so it can't be a stand olone it must be covered in something otherwise it will leak. also because it is squishy you have to becareful of the weight you put on it as it may lose it's original shape. i know this answer is very late in coming, but it may help someone else now that has the same one.
Nice video. How could you get moss to grow on the rocks?
Thanks, fake rocks do not maintain water but on waterfalls place, you can put java moss and if you have light enough, you will get moss grow ;)
I'm taking french in school but I'm not super good at it, though I can carry on an introductory conversation, and I know the grammar fairly well
Very nice! Thank you for the video
Super
For a bearded dragon i dont think i will put that in there 😅
Love your english
lmao I know that my english sucks :D
Very Nice
Thank you very much.
Could you do this for an entire wall?
I never tried but Il yes I guess
Can I use grout? Is grout safe for a terrarium. I want to make a water feature in corner of my terrarium with expanding foam background. I want to seal my expanding foam background. Please help!
Grout is what I used here with another product but if there will be animals in the tank is it preferable to add an epoxy resin on the background to use something like Sikatop121.
Could the paint get washed off?
Acrylic paint is very resistant so I suppose but to be honest I never tried.
@@Terrarium-Construction is there any kind of reptile's safe clear coat paint we could use in order protect the rock painting from washed off? i'm still searching the solution for it.....
@@novadwihartanto2621 No problem with this kind of paint but the better is still to use epoxy resin to avoid any kind of problem
i know this answer is very late in coming but i wanted to anser for those who may be watching it now and have this same question. Acrylic and Latex paints are waterbased paints and are both waterproof and safe for fish and other little critters. they do not have the chemicals in them that oil based paints do and will leach into the water and hurt, make them sick, or even possibly kill them.. thery are both commonly used in fishponds, aquariums, swimming pools, and at zoos. You will want to find a fish pond water sealer to help with making the paint last longer so they don't eat it though. because as hard as we try stuff still grows on that they like to nibble at. especially if you have bottom feeders to hep keep your tanks clean.
@@novadwihartanto2621 there are usually they are listed as fish pond clear coat or even a marind clear coat.
had to give you a like for your funny accent :D nice vid
lmao! Thanks anyway
Did u put a sealent over the paint at all ?
No. No in this video.
@@Terrarium-Construction what paint was used ? Im doing something similar at the min - was thinking of using acrylic paint but was told to seal it
@@gavineades389 I used Acrylic paint. But to be sure you can use epoxy resin as I show in the last video I made about fake rock on my channel.
What are the foam you are using?
Polyurethane expanding foam filler
Can you say what the small bag is? Can't fully catch what you say in the video. Is it cement? And why do you mix it with the grout? Thanks.
It's a kind of liquid which permits to make the grout more elastic and more waterproof ;)
Thanks for quick reply. It looks a lot less hassle than joining Styrofoam blocks together and then carving. Going to try this technique on making an aquarium sand waterfall. Thanks.
But warning. This technique to be safe for animals need some epoxy resin! or another product such as Sikatop 121 to be safe for drinking water and so for animals, fishes and so on.
Thanks a lot for that. There are some beautiful sand waterfall videos made with different rock cliffs, I'm sure they use a technique similar to you to create the different rock formations. I'm not convinced it's real rock they use but the makers don't want to give any secrets away! Cheers.
Yes I already noted that the maker keep their secrets. I know that some people use epoxy resin then include in the drying resin sand from different colors and sometimes paint after but I do not master these technics yet.
How many ml of expanding foam you used to make this cool thing? :)
One bottle and a half. about 750ml I think. ;)
Okay 👍
You didn’t use silicone sealant?
For what application?
Terrarium-Construction.com every waterfall I’ve seen built had silicone used as a final sealant over foam
@@death2putin718 Ah OK, no, it is not needed with the materials I used here. But you can watch the more recent video I made on fake rocks and I used epoxy resin.
en français vue l'accent ,tu la refait merci pour mes oreilles !!
Ou sinon tu vas directement voir la video en français pour soulager tes oreilles sensibles ;)
ok tu l'a fait en français merci je vais jeté un coup d’œil a tes vidéo , peut etre que je vais trouver mon bonheur , si oui je te promet de m'abonner lol
İ didnt realize the English version of this video at first and was strugling to watch and understand the french version 🤦🏻♂
How did you hide the water outlet?
In fact the outlet is not hidden, it is not easy to explain. But the outlet is in horizontal position so it can not be seen easily.
Are you in Canada?
No, i'm in France.
Can you make a list of all the stuff you use
I list all stuff used in the first part of the video so i'm not sure to understand.
J'ai direct su que t'étais français à l'accent 🤣
Is sikalatex safe for frogs?
I don't think so, as i said in the video, it is not written on the security sheet that sikalatex is safe for drinking water, so if you want to put frogs in the tank, you have to use epoxy resin at the end or use sikatop 121 which will be more expansive but more eastetic ;)
you don't this is English is great . prop to you
I want to make a waterfall for red eye croc skink im using a styrofoam background and it has 3 squares going down like a stair. my plan was to make the water flow from the 1st square to the third square and then get cycled to the 1st square without water dropping how can i make it to suck the water on the third square so it goes to the first square without water being dropped?? Here is a picture i.ytimg.com/vi/PHzlqEYz6cw/maxresdefault.jpg and by the way nice video!
To do that, if I understand, you have to make a third stair which have a full width (i mean, the same width of background and tank) and make a small hole to get the water trough a pipe.
EN FRNACAIS CA EVITE LE MASSACRE LOL
Bah va voir la version en français dispo sur ma chaine alors!
English is good but you French with that accent make me laugh. Sheet = shit lol. I think all French struggle with English.
