AWESOME Naturalistic Indoor Mini Pond + Giveaway
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- In this one I teamed up with Ed The Pond Professor and Aquascape to set up an AquaGarden Mini Pond. I don't know about you, but I think it turned out extremely well! I really like how much of a feature the waterfall portion of the design is and I enjoy how the light shines through. What do you think?
Long-term I want to add plants to the water area as I eluded to in the video. However, I didn't have anything that I thought would look appropriate in this setup. I wish I would of had a few taller plants (like syngonium), but I could always add those later on as well.
Also, what should I stock it with? I want you to decide! Leave your best suggestion in the comments for something suitable for a setup of this size. I'll take the best/highest liked suggestions and do a poll in about a month.

I hope you enjoyed my take on the mini pond and are doing well! What do you think, did I do alright? Check out the video description for all of the links mentioned in the video.
Tanner what happened to the vommon snapping turtle
If you want to increase water volume you could consider having an additional container with water in and have the pump route water through that.
Nice
SerpaDesign I entered the giveaway! Fingers crossed, love the video I think the pond looks fantastic!
I need information about lights please
At the end of every video, I sit back and think "I definitely need a pond."
I do not need a pond.
But you make me want one. Every time.
Lyndi Wittmann sigh, I'm glad I'm not the only one. I need an indoor pond like a hole in the head, but I was already planning one at the end of the video.
when he lists the names of the plants he's using it sounds like he's casting a spell
haha!
Exactly what i was thinking lmao
Unfortunately, he didn't have to say Süßwassertang this time. I could listen to a 10hr version of him saying that.
Haha, i can just imagine Hermione saying “its leuc-OH-neura, not leuco-neur-AH”
LOL
"I started with a layer of red fluorite because it looks unappealing" damn and here I sat and thought that it looks good lol.
TiMeJ34nD1T SAME, I was like.. omg that ref fluorite looks so amazing! And the next second he’s like.. ok. unappealing. 😂😂😂
@@skkeptical8876 just because Tanner didn't like it for his little pond, doesn't mean u guys can't use it for yours if that's what u like. Besides, u r gonna be the ones enjoying it, so enjoy! ✌😎👍
Lol me!
agreed, i thought it looked neat
You're videos are a beacon of joy in these crazy times, Tanner - you are such an inspiration, and you work is always just out of this world!! Thanks for keeping me sane!
Nature is doing all the work! I'm just showcasing it on my channel. 😉
@@SerpaDesign I can't wait to show you my patio pond! I set it up last year using only native plants I propogated from ponds in my area. Iris, snake tales, moss etc - I'll tag you on Instagram one I get it all back together today! (Still pretty cold up here in Ontario) your video this morning inspired me to get outside and get it all set up again!!
Your video’s are tremendous, I’m stoked every time I get a Serpa alert
Too bad his voice ia so monotonous though
You're helping all of us get through these hard times. Thank you.
Amen!
100% this! After finding out I won’t be seeing family at Christmas watching these videos takes my mind off.
I prefer SerpaDesign's pond compared to Ed The Pond Professor's. Tanner's is like nature in a bowl and Ed's is like a bowl in nature, if that makes sense 😅
yeah tanner did a better job hiding the plastic bowl with the hardscape while ed put the plastic bowl inside hardscape. both are great but i always feel plastic is the most unnatural looking thing in any setup and takes away from it.
Ed's doesn't look permanent either. He just surrounded it with a bunch of stuff against a bare wall. Looks like it will be immediately disassembled.
OMG, those bowls cost $200.
Makes perfect sense, and is a very good description! Totally agree!
@@egoranonymous3223 I got one like that for gardening that's even bigger for $10. Maybe a good diy~
Ed's was great, liked the massive piece of driftwood. But your modifications turn a not so natural looking plastic basin into something completely different. The hardscape makes it look so natural. Your skill is mad
I love that you don't edit out the mistakes you make but explain how you fixed them. Great video. Love your pond
You make being in quarantine feel just like a weekend, chilling at home and watching another masterpiece. My serpa bucketlist keeps growing. Well done! I love this just as much as i love your first mini indoor pond project months ago. You’re blessing in this trying times, Tanner! Bless you! Thanks!😊
Edit: Please stock it with white cloud mountain minnow🐟
me: oh wow that fluorite looks cool
serpadesign: i started with the fluorite because it looks unappealing
me: actually it's ugly
I swear this guy will never get bored in quarantine just looking at the earthly nature Terrariums displayed across his house
Thank you for helping us get through with these lovely, calming videos. You've been helping with my anxiety so much lately 💕 I hope you and yours are well and healthy.
Glad to hear! Stay well!
I love the mini ponds you build. Realistically home ownership is out of reach for most people so owning/building a pond is out of the question. So building a mini pond is a great compromise for those who rent apartments or small homes. It is affordable and a way to recreate the outdoors in the indoors.
Far out, I could tell this was beautiful just from the thumbnail! Thank you for your videos Tanner.
WOW, such a beautifu l feature of wáter. Everything Is balanced, AND un perfect harmony, i wish i hace tour still to set up everything the right way, comparing to tour patio pond, my looks like a pile of Rocks that felt on a patio. Thnaks for sharing it to us.
Hey tanner hope you are ok.I don't want to be pessimistic but i think things are going to get worse.The only thing we can do now is strap in and hope for the best.Watching your videos has kept me sane during this crisis so thank you.
It's so difficult to compare the two builds. I LOVE your miniature fantasy. The sense of scale while maximizing the space that you had and the diversity of plants wins me over. However, I've been brainstorming for months on how to make essentially a self contained water feature like this one within the 150g vivarium I am building, and Ed's build was greatly inspirational to me on how I can incorporate a pre-made system like this naturally into my vivarium without looking like I just placed a bowl in a tank. However, your hardscaping is much preferable to me to hide all of the inside components. Ultimately I like yours more because you perfectly meshed the working-within-the-means, and hiding the behind-the-scenes hardware.
If you ever actually see this comment, I've love to show you what I'm brainstorming and have a conversation on methods. I've been so inspired by your page and watch it every day.
This would be perfect for my yard. Don’t have room for a full pond.😄
Every build you have, I'm literally speechless. I wish I had even an ounce of your creativity.
Nobody can replicate nature on a small scale like you can! Both your builds are absolutely amazing, but my vote's gotta go to you for the incredible details. You blow me away every time!
Tanner you never sieze to amaze me in how you put these mini pond builds together! Would never have thought to use a prayer plant as a water plant. I used to have them many years but always in soil. But seeing you planting in the top bin where the roots will be sitting in water all the time? Learn something new every day. As always it was a pleasure to watch you! 😊
I have no doubt who will win. Loved Ed's idea too but this is the one that will take the cake
since they're no aquatic plants, crayfish could make a pretty neat choice
And also, they are wayy too big to humanely keep in there
Do crayfish mess up plants?
@@beyondthehedge4516 They're such things as dwarf crayfish
@@MrGreen-nu8og Which are around two inches long... still too big... I mean, you CAN do it, but it will be high maintenance, and I'm sure he doesn't want that with all his other tanks. They are also really dirty... we call them mud bugs for a reason, lol
@@DraconisMarchVII They try to eat almost every plant, sadly
I think it is safe to say we could fall asleep listening to Tanner pronounce all the different plant names with ease...
You should take your new indoor pond, carve out a waterfall, prop it up behind the previous DIY indoor pond and let one port in to the other…
… And of course build a pump so that the water can circulate back up to the top pond!
Or, perhaps prop both up, tilt them, have them pour into each other down into an aquarium!
I really liked the results. I love your soothing voice, it's as relaxing as your finished products. You are a wealth of knowledge. Thanks!
I love everything you do, just beautiful and creative. I want to add, thank you for giving us a good look of your creations in your videos, so many others do their projects and bam, done. So frustrating. Stay safe, keep posting these beautiful little ecosystems. Don’t be afraid to give us an updated look at previous creations,I would love to see them!
Beautiful. Everyone needs one of these to sit by, drink your coffee and maybe enjoy a nice cigar. It invites relaxation and reflection.
“I ❤️ MY AQUAGARDEN” (but yours more...can I have it?!) 😜👊
Haha I'll make something similar with the other and bring it to Podomonium 😂
I can't decide who did it better. You did it in mind with having it in doors and it shows, but Ed did his thinking of how it would look on a deck or patio. So I'd have to say you both did it beautifully while thinking about the space this pond would be. Either way the ponds are awesome!
i totally love the way you guys have 2 completely diffrent approaches to the project and having seen both my mind can only keep thinking of your interior pond design in this video surrounded by ed's quote on quote "porch" decoration!
Serpa superb! Enjoyed this build alot. You can never have enough moss haha! I like the plants.The Crocodile Fern is pretty cool! Ed's build is amazing! I can't compare for you are both uniquely talented in the craft of Nature ✌
Okay...I definitely prefer your creation haha! ✌
Tanner - You are an amazing, multi-talented artist. Your gift for design is matched only by your mechanical ingenuity. I am always inspired by your beautiful, loving, caring work.
I'd love to see you incorporate some feeder minnows or guppies in this. They don't really get a lot of attention, but they're a lot cooler and hardier than you'd imagine.
Tanner you win for sure. Yours looks like a hidden mini paradise in a hard to reach jungle somewhere. Also your video presentation is also better with the Latin plants names and all. Good stuff.
Just made my first native terrarium. Thanks to u. U gave me the inspiration. I didn’t realize how Difficult it’s was. I was using chopsticks lol. U must of had real patients when u do the smaller builds. Keep up the great work chief
Best mini pond build on RUclips.
Love how you can put so much life into pretty much anything, I do prefer your build as it’s small but packed full of life. 👍
Your build was amazing Tanner! It turned out perfect, and I always love when you use oak leaf creeping fig, it's such a beautiful plant!
Gorgeous work tanner! I love that you kept in your rescaping when the water overflowed. It’s always nice to see the process
I like yours the best, Tanner. It just looks so like you somehow transported a piece of a stream right into your house. What about stocking it with white cloud mountain minnows? They are relatively low maintenance and pretty fish that would be right at home in that kind of arrangement.
I really liked the big trunk of wood, rocks, and ferns around Ed's pond but Tanner's scape and modifications really where much more impressive by far, combine the 2 scapes and I'm sure every pet and or plant lover would love to have this peice in there home.
This setup is calling for a school of rainbow shiners. The colors of the rainbow shiners would go very will with this scape.
I think that guppies would be really nice in this mini pond, especially some really colorful ones.
Came over from Garden Answer’s version of the Aquagarden! Fellow subscribers were raving about Serpadesign ! I’ve visited this channel before and I love it every time! Subscribed!
I watched both videos and yours was the best by far. The details that you put into your projects make them.
But … I do have an affinity for old tree stumps. I loved his pond "surround." If I had my way, I would use a more detailed pond (like yours) with a stump, fern, rock and moss surround on my patio, bringing the pond indoors in the fall.
IF … I had a patio!
I like what both of you did with the kit. No real preference. If I lucky enough one, I think mine would be a mixture of the two. I like the ease of installation on Ed’s but I like “naturalizing” the spillway as you did.
For stocking, I think from above red fish are attractive and easier to see. How about rescuing some red rosy minnows, which are usually sold as feeder fish. You’ll need to dose feeder fish, but the mini pond is already a quarantine tank.
Your design definitely was worth all the detail! Ed took a more practical approach that could be changed seasonally. It was fun to see two different perspectives on the same product! Shows what a little imagination can do!
wow, very beautiful, i like ur design more, because it’s clear where the boundaries of the system are, u hid the inner structures and kept the outer faces of the pot showing like its wrapping a closed microcosmic lake. Whereas Ed, although it looks interesting, he wanted to extend the boundaries with a drift wood, but he didn’t hide the pot (the plastic surfaces), which doesn’t give a feel of one wrapped system but interrupted, it’s like when u find plastic waste in nature.
Tough decision.
You both did well.
I like how he used the environment around his piece.
LOVE this pond kit, and I really love what you did with it! You are so creative and inspiring! I am hoping they will ship one of these to Canada, because I have had absolutely no luck finding anything remotely good enough for a DIY mini pond up here.
I think you should stock your pond with something bright, like Gold-Dust Mollies, or some fancy guppies
I really liked how that came out. So since you can only really see them from above I'm thinking all male black bar endlers Maybe 6 to 8 of them. They usually have some orange and turquoise on them and it might make it easier to see from above.
you ever just let your favorite you tubers videos play while you sleep so you make sure they’re getting views and feel appreciated during these hard times
I loved your @serpadesign pond the most but loved how @edthepondprofessor incorporated a lot of plants and the huge driftwood around the outside of his pond. You both truly rocked bringing the outside in!
I. Loved yours the most because you hid all the plastic and the pond professor did not his was great but you are a perfectionist and it shows in your wonderful work.
I think Ed's was very cool (esp with that driftwood and the outside elements-never would've thought about that) but I like yours more, it's like a little bubble of nature you can put just about anywhere.
I think I prefer yours because the focus was on the mini pond itself, rather than on things surrounding it. As for what could go in, I say itty bitty crayfish
I personally think yours is much nicer than Ed's. You focused on the actual kit and how to improve upon the design, Ed seems to have added a lot of elements outside of the actual kit. Your builds always look amazing and nearly effortless with your ability to see things before they're visible in the real world. Great stuff.
I like yours, more, because there are more elements packed in and is more naturalistic (thanks in part to you hiding all the plastic) while the other is is hard to keep indoors due to the driftwood, let alone utilize in a paludarium, and is quite simple looking.
These videos have an almost “how its made” type feel and it’s super relaxing
I would definitely like one!!!! Very awesome mini pond!!! Can’t afford a huge pond but this will suffice!!!
I love Ed and the Aquascape team, but you knocked this out of the park.
This came really great. I really liked the moss in this. I had a good chuckle when you said the red fluorite is unappealing because that's the exact substrate I use in my planted shrimp tank and it looks great in there, haha.
I did enter in the giveaway. I will be checking out the other channel after this. Good job!
Hey Tanner, I must say that your build is a bit more involved than Ed's, but you each have what pleases you, and that's what matters.
Thanks Tanner......👍👍👍
Tanner you’re brilliant. A true artist. You make it look so easy and natural. Also, quite the engineering feat on that shelf. Nice work!
I personal think that your project look the best, Ed even states how skill full you are at building your displays. Ed project needs to do a bit more growing.
Looks great Tanner. It is a great design, although I would have loved something like a miniature tree in the planter portion to make it seem like a mini-world. For stock, a gourami would be cool, since they spend a lot of time at the surface and you’d be able to see that.
You should stock it with some guppies and killifish because of their beautiful coloring. Also, you could put in a small frog to add to the natural feel.
I checked out Ed's video and you both have been very creative. Ed's design seems functional whereas I find your design beautiful. For me you are the clear winner.
Yes, fine work, very fine work. As Ed said you're attention to detail is 2nd to none. And for that you get the extra nod. While you successfully tried to hide the spillway, Ed tried to hide the bowl! Ha, ha, ha...
Amazing layout. Your choice of color and size placement really show off your eye for design. You really are Blessed with this eye for design. This is the winning design by far. Cheers.
Another gorgeous creation! The water fall is the cherry on top. ...as for stocking it Im new to this but all I envision are orange goldfish or
small kio to pop out against the darker water foliage? Look forward to what you have in mind. Ed's is really nice as well. I like the display around the pond but his pond is a little thin on substance, it leaves alot of brown pond exposed. I prefer they way you try and hide as mush of the container as possible making it look more natural.
I gotta say, maybe I'm biased, I love yours the most, just so much more a slice of nature.
Well I say once again you did a great job . It’s like you have the magic touch . Hope you are well too with all this craziness going around I look forward to your work.
Love the kit and the end result. Have to go check out if they ship to Australia. And someone who will ship more diverse range of plants!
Yet again. You created another masterpiece!!! I just may half to order a mini pond kit and try to make one of my own. I Love what you do. And thank you for keeping sanity around these uncertain times. Your videos really help.
Dude, that hard scape is amazing. I actually think it overflowing and you having to remove a couple of stones was a blessing.
Awesome job. You really went all out for this beautiful pond. I like how the waterfall goes in different directions. I really like all the rocks you used the shelf you made and of course the plants.
At the halfway mark, I was skeptical....very, very skeptical. But it turned out VERY nicely!
At least Tanner is surrounded by beautiful terrarium, ponds, and etc. to keep him busy and relax. Also...those are some long scientific name for such aquatic plants. Ima stick with the easy names XD
I think the final result is incredible, although I agree with you in having taller plants in background would be great in sense of perspective.
I love how you make the nature.,... Water flows.... So peace..... Great job
Another amazing video and a collaboration! Love all your videos
Just started watching you. Love your ponds. Can you show what they look like after they've been up and running for awhile, like say a year later? Or even a few months, to show how they look filled in and growing.
Gorgeous eye candy. Soothing aesthetic appeal! What a blessing of a craft! Thanks!
Wow! I have one of these kits on the way it will be my first pond! You really added your self to it! Jonnie
Great mini pond tanner,amazing. I wish I was a bug just to live in your mini pond.
You killed it! Looks awesome and you've given me ideas on improving my balcony pond/tub.
You focused on the actual pond where as Ed focused on the pond surroundings. Bravo!
You did awesome in this one!!! I didn't even see the notification of the video and I'm super happy I stumbled across it! I'm currently using your videos as a refernece to make my own tabletop pond!
I like both designs, well done.
That is mind blowing,Thank you Tanner.
Yours is better 100% for sure🤩🤩🤩You have such amazing talent
Another awesome scape from Bob Moss himself! 😁🎨🌿👍 In all seriousness, it's spectacular, as always! Thanks so much!! 🙏👍👍
Guppies! In Asia it’s really common for these sort of ponds to be stocked with guppies
Eastern newts would look awesome in there!
I used to believe I killed every plants I bought but I discovered your awsome channel and I tried to make some terrariums. All of them weren't a success but I had enough thriving it gave me some reason to continue. Now one of my first is maybe 3 years old and still there. Sometimes I even make one for a friend.
I loved what you did with this mini pound and maybe you could put some anubias and water hyacinth, I really like when you use some of them. And maybe some euonimus (? Not sure, I remember a little bush with silver leaves) and ferns?
what an absolute work of art, had me hooked from the start,that would keep me more entertained than any tv programme ,one question ,the moss ,where do you get it from ? i could use something like that for my outdoor water barrell creations ,thank you for a great video
Dude you take this kit to another level! I've watched Ed's video as well. I think you guys both have your own styles. I think his would be better to fill a larger patio or something outside. Your's however would really work for both and I like how compact and portable you made it fantastic work!
Mate, you are all talent! Well done Tanner. Back with another superb creation!
