Serpa cam you do a electric blue crawfish in a dark water setup? I think it would look good with some smaller blue fish and a purple crawfish. I've always wanted to see someone make it but they use pink gravel and I don't like it not natural. They'll need to dig through . Before pls do your research on them they're like $40 each.
I can't explain how much I have learned from just this one video. Tips, tricks on how to make this and also knowledge about the actual plants. You are absolutely incredible! Instant subscription!
This video is the most comprehensive and simple paludarium one I’ve ever seen. I’m saving this one for sure as one of my favorites. I will love to build one someday day and hope my wife doesn’t oppose to it😊.
The tip about tissue and superglue sounds really useful. I've used superglue for builds before as when dried I knew it was aquarium safe, but in my experience it doesn't bond stone together than well. The little bit of tissue should act as a binder that helps it form around the rock better. 👍
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for a paludarium build! The hardscape is not complicated and easy to work around while still looking amazing! Thank you for this, looking forward to next week!🙌🏻
Love your mini eco-system design. Clear and simple instructions however you didn't include how you do a water change. I would really appreciate that. Thank you
With something like this I don't think you can..right? Filter feeders and other freshwater creatures that "clean" should do more than replacing water. Replacing water will disrupt the enclosed ecosystem greatly.
Awesome setup. I can see why other types of wood hold up better and don't get halfway water logged like the driftwood you used. It doesn't deter how beautiful it is though.
I LOVE such paludariums thank you so much for always creating such beautiful ecosystems for us ☺ Edit: it felt really nice hearing this beautiful tune again at 7:25 :)
@@TerrariumDesignsyou have a great mind for terrariums and palludariums I had to put down my beloved ranch goldfish today and this video has really helped me
Everything you do is so cool. As I recover from quadriplegia this is a great way for me to get back the use of my hands. Thanks and Blessings. Semper Fi, Doc
incredible build with lots of insight and knowledge! would love to see a current video of how it is doing. maintenance of the pump will be a bit painful i am sure but yeah... i would also love if you'd get more into the details like how strong is the pump, what ppi do you use/recommend for subsurface filtering. i think i would have also used a bit of sphagnum moss in some places to help reatin moisture for mosses and other plants within the rocks. but yeah! absolutely inspiring and amazing video! thank you very much! :)
This is definitely one of the best builds you've done, its so naturally beautiful! And those snails seem like they do a fantastic job in little aquatic setups like this! I must ask, where do you get your snails from? I've started aquascaping quite a lot for the past few months, and can never get my hands on snails of that size.
Great video, you said in the vid that you changed the water several times in the first 4 weeks, what was the reason for that, and how often do you change the water after ?. Cheers
I found this video among the first as I started to research. I've been looking for it ever since. I'm so happy I found it again. Great information, beautiful build.
This is the first of your videos I’ve seen- I actually found it while looking for jumping spider enclosures! But I actually learned several tricks and techniques from this one video! Awesome job!
your work is always beautiful and i really love the way you use silicone to make a hinge, the hinges/door handles are always the ugliest part of most scapes but yours look seamless
Just another amazing video. I have just one question, if the pump break down, how would you replace it? It seems to be fixed behind the background, without any way to access it and replace it when necessary.
Love it….how do you trade out water without disturbing bugs life? You didnt mention the oil for the glass cutter and im not sure if you mentioned safety glasses. Love love love what youve done. I live on the atlantic so im thinking coquina rock and palm wood, bamboo. Any opinion?
Love the no-nonsense approach and blown away watching your transform picture frames into a aquarium/paludarium. Subscribed! Looling forward to your future projects
Thank you for sharing your experience. I've watched many videos like this, but yours still taught me so much in one go. You clearly know what you are doing and are great at explaining it. Thanks! 😊
Hi at 12:06 you mentioned some plants shouldn’t be planted in the substrate, what is that called again? I can’t seem to see the correct word from the transcript, thanks!
Amazing. What a lovely presentation. I love waterfalls. I think I might have added a pop of color with a couple of small ceramic crayfish, as they live in that kind of environment.
Mate, superb job, honestly! Clear, simple, precise instructions with nothing held back. All hints and tips made available to make it all as seamless as possible. Complete list of everything used, reasons for use and source of acquisition. Nice clear understandable speech, providing just what is needed, nothing more nothing less, at right pace. Knowledge, skill and experience shared in a way that makes anyone feel confident they can comfortably attempt a similar project. Camera angles, lighting, sound..... mate, you've left nothing for a viewer to criticize :) First time stumbling upon the channel. Liked and subscribed of course, will definitely check out your other works as well. Hope i will find the time to have my own crack at one. Keep it up! Cheers
Just found and watched this and it’s amazing. Subscribed. Thanks for making something that looks so cool look actually doable. Question about the filter foam, do you need to replace the foam? If so how often?
Gorgeous! I hope mine turns out anything like this one! I'm starting big, since big is what I have (32x18x18). Do you have any info on what kind of driftwood to use or not use? I've got two in the bath that I've been trying to waterlog for the past day. Trying to boil off the questionable white growths and bleach and drown out the worms and pillbugs. Just wondering how deep of a clean is necessary (if I should even be doing what I have been in the first place).
I use a siphon to do a water change every couple weeks. If you’re concerned about accidentally sucking up the snails you can use an elastic band to attach a small piece of filter foam to the tube:)
Beautiful paludarium man. So so pretty - I love how easy you make it look when cutting glass and beading edges. It’s always so neat 😆 Keep them coming man! 😄🌱
Would love to start making terrariums Really great decoration, hobby and just really cool Need a few things but think ill get there probably start with a tic tac one 😅
Gorgeous, and what great techniques! How did you block the top of the hose to redirect the water? Did you just stuff filter foam in, or was there some adhesive? Thanks for this great video!

It would be great if you could see and take care of the terrarium every day to create a relaxing feeling. Hope your wife supports that

It's one of my top ten builds for sure, nice job. I love the immersed growth it looks so natural.

Oh wow never thought of using picture frame glass! Great idea!
now i'm ready to start my paludarium or at least terarrium for beginner...thaks for the ideas and tips sir!..
Beautiful- love the way you design the rocks to ensure the water flows down smoothly- how do you drain out the water- when u need to clean the tank?
Thank you for providing all the instructions. I recommend listing the costs of the materials used for your project. ❤

Amazing. What a lovely presentation. I love waterfalls. I think I might have added a pop of color with a couple of small ceramic crayfish, as they live in that kind of environment.
You should try a riparium build next!
Do you know if I can use clear plexiglass for the tank? At least in my country, I can't find frameless picture frames online.
You did it❤️💯
Where is aquascaping video 😢
It’s coming, just letting it grow in:)

Super rookie question: you mentioned you did a few water changes. How do you change the water once you have everything setup??
I syphon water out with some tubing:)
10/10 video ⭐️ literally above and beyond dude. Hoping you get more and more likes / subscribers. You deserve it
I find I would like to live in there. It seems so peaceful!
I love your videos and I hope you never stop
Best tutorial ive seen so far!!! Thank you
do you think I could make the door/hinge on one of the sides? And open it left/right?
I'm surprised that the silicone 'hinge' worked.
Great work, great idea!
Very nicely explained. Great video indeed. I have a doubt. Are these plants required CO2? Please clarify. Thanks.
Best video ever terariums are so cool I wanted to get a chameleon but now want a crested gecko
How did you fix the light - inside? outside?. Nice work. Loved the way the final setup came up.
Çok emek edilmiş muhtelem bir tablo gibi ❤
I love this. I am interested in building one with a large enough water base to hold a Betta fish. Have you ever made a betta paludarium?
Hey i saw someone under the name "Aqua layouts" have been reposting your video without giving you credit
Amazing work, subd. I love learning how to do new things and these builds you do are fascinating
After adding the snails do you have to do water changes and if so how do you do it safely for the snails?
I use a siphon to do a water change every couple weeks. If you’re concerned about accidentally sucking up the snails you can use an elastic band to attach a small piece of filter foam to the tube:)
Great work,, It cane out quite beautiful. ❤
Such a beautiful project. Can I add shrimp and small fishes to it?

Ok, this is now my favorite 😂🎉 lol beautiful
Beautiful. Do you only use a 5 watt display light? Is it enough to grow all those plants?
Great setup. May I ask where are the springtails after 4 weeks?
