Underwater Luminous Quartz Crystal Mine for Aquatic Life
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2024
- Last year, I made one of my favorite setups, the Crystal Gems Aquarium ( • Glowing Crystal Gems C... ). It was a lot of fun to build, despite being limited by circumstance and materials. Because of those things, I've always felt as thought it could be better.
I knew there were ways I could reimagine this idea. This time, I'd include driftwood and plants alongside real luminous quartz crystals. Additionally, I had a spare DIY IKEA Aquarium on hand that was a perfect footprint ( • Making The Best and Ea... ).

I had a lot of fun with this concept last year and wanted to revisit it since. Including different elements and using real quartz crystals was the obvious direction to go. I’m very pleased with the result as well. What do you think, though? I know it doesn’t look natural, but the “fantasy” builds are a great change. Enjoy the video, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
First comment and like
i really like this look, ive been wanting to make one themed after the ARK survival evolved Aberration map. and this video answered some questions on how ill make certain things work.
Hi, Tanner! I always loved the original crystal aquarium, it was just so different from what you usually do.
Just did that blue crystals thing but in a lego themed tank. Looks cool had bubbles coming up through the crystal too! An underwater lego person science station and an overgrown octopus. The rest was regular stuff. The real plants made it look awesome!
I agree this is a great improvement to the glass. I just picked up a 37g and was deciding weather to do fresh or salt macro. I might give this a shot with something a bit more to add to the magic😊
All "natural" designs are great but when done well, fantasy imaginings are every bit as good. This is beautiful. The fish are perfect for this set up. Love it
At first, it sounded like you're about to criticize The hell out of this man.
Gd wish my video had gotten this much attention I feel like my idea was stolen
The Tetra's with their shimmering blue stripe go perfectly with the glowing blueish crystals. Gorgeous build!

I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more fantastical set ups. You do such a good job of integrating nature and fantasy
It's pretty epic
While the crystals make the tank supercool on their own, I think the way you implemented two 'piles' and bridged them with spiderwood was done exceptionally well and deserves a highlight of its own. I'm really impressed, it's been a while that I had such a strong urge to make something similar on my own. Truly inspirational!
After spending the morning dismantling my tank and rescuing my neon tetras after my daughter put half a container of shrimp pellets into my tank, this is exactly the inspiration I needed to try something new instead of tossing in the towel and rehoming my fish.
the banjo catfish is an amazing addition, i've never seen a small fish with such a unique shape
the aesthetic seemed incoherent at first with white quartz and black stone and the brown wood, but the plants really tied it all together and made it seem natural. makes sense, given you've been doing it for over a decade!
I thought that too! I'm going to have to get one of those guys now.
Right? Banjo catfish are awesome!! We have one at my work (fish and reptile store) and I love him so much
It looks so so cool. The plants really elevated the look and the quartz’ luminescence is amazing!
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more visually appealing hardscape before water, plants, or anything else is even paired with it. Just seeing the finished hardscape alone is beautiful and seeing it with plants adding even more color is awesome.
Wow, Serpa Design! Your crystal cave tank is an absolute masterpiece! The attention to detail and the way you've created a stunning underwater world is truly inspiring. I'm in awe of the way you've combined art and aquascaping. Keep up the fantastic work, and please keep sharing your incredible designs with us
Agreed!
This is my favourite set up so far. I love the wood arching across the tank with all the plants. Beautiful.
I'd image with all the lights off in the room and just the crystals, it would be pretty epic!
水晶クラスターと観葉植物の夢のようなレイアウトにうっとりしてしまいました😊 本当にありがとうございます💚
Unbelievable Tanner! This looks simply stunning what an amazing idea!!
I really enjoy your take on more experimental and fantasy themed tanks because you make them look more natural (despite it not looking like that in the wild) and not like kitsch at all!
This was one of his best builds yet! Tanners design really stands out from the rest
Out of your whole channel I think this is my favorite build. The way you clustered the crystals makes them look like they are naturally growing from the rock. The tetras really set off the glow too! The plant selection above the rim is also sublime. Well done sir!!
The tetras make it!
It reminds me of the first Avatar, like the forests at night. I don't recall things lighting up at night in the Way of Water though. Lost opportunity, if you ask me. It's magical. Thanks for the amazing wholesome content. It's my favourite when you have plants above water too. It just adds so much to an already beautifully composed aquarium. Why would you not, unless you are in love with fish that like to unalive themselves by jumping out. lol
I build custom enclosures for my snakes I love creating jungles in my house .I've learned a lot of tricks and new ideas from your channel thank you
This looks beautiful! The crystal look like glowing lotus flowers and make it look all the more peaceful and enchanting.
Using the filter material to anchor the plants into the right areas is brilliant. I see beneficial bacteria colonizing the filter media and thus providing direct access to the nitrites and nitrates broken down. That’s very smart
Black neons are awesome fish
One would think that you'd eventually run out of ways to "wow" us with what you can put into a reasonably sized glass tank. One would be wrong.
Holy wow this is gorgeous. Literally breathtaking, my breath actually caught for a second when you revealed the final look with the tetras included.
I know, it's the hardest part but most fantastic too
The brown sand is my favorite. The contrast between the black rock and the blue lights and green plants really pops! Such an amazing design!
I have been dying to see you do something including quartz! This does not disappoint in the slightest! I hope we'll see you do more in the future with different kinds of rocks. Possibly the occasional crystal again too. ❤
When fantasy meets reality, something beautiful happens. I love that tank set up.
the potential for a salt water aquarium makes these types of pieces even more mind blowing.
Black neons were a flawless choice. Perfectly reflecting the green and purple! Superb artwork as always Tanner.
ha, I like your avatar
Its like gazing through a portal into another world where peace, hope and serenity still exists 😵💫
Your builds are mesmerizing, sir.
This is one of my favorite tanks you've made. I love it! The crystals combined with the plants looks stunning
This channel pretty consistantly makes the best looking fish tanks on the internet. Really inspiring!
I watched Disney's Atlantis recently, and the crystals remind me of the ones they have in Atlantis. This feels like a miniature fantasy cave, especially with the catfish that adds a sense of scale.
OHH good point!
An incredible design with excellent execution. I would love to see some more experimental fantastic designs like these now and then, the naturalistic approach and your experience with building more traditional designs really grounds this piece as a plausible aquascape that looks natural enough even with its fantastic elements. Great work as always, Tanner!
You always treat your animals with such care and love and that’s why you are one of my favourite RUclipsrs
As others have said, every piece of this is amazing, but the raw hard scape is really stunning. Tanner is absolutely a master and an artist in design!
You are the only one that truly disrupts the aquascaping environemnt! Always different stuff. Well done!
Such a cool set up. And baby fish!
That was reading-a-fantasy-novel fun.
Stunning... You have me wanting to have an aquarium again. Aquariums in my day were nothing like this.
The original tank was one of my favourites, I’m so happy you made another one! ❤
Hands down my favorite set up you’ve ever done! Your creativity is off the charts!!!
This is by far one of the coolest aquariums I've seen EVER!!!! This inspired me to make my own terrarium, wish me luck!
It's absolutely astonishing, surreal, and dream-like. I would love to have a freshwater tank like this one! Amazing work!
I love the crystals.. feels like this setup is part of an enchanted jungle that is long forgotten. Beautiful tank 🩷👏🏽
So pretty! The brown sand was a great idea! Good contrast 🙌🏽
I thought that too - I hope do develop my skills like that too - pretty amazing
I loved the old crystal gems aquarium that you made, but this one really does bring it to the next level. I love the different mood lightings and the clumps of crystal really remind me of the crystal clumps in an old indie game called sea shine. Overall, this really is just an outstanding looking tank and also one I will be pulling heavy inspiration from for my 20 gallon aquarium.
It looks so so cool, this is one of
my favorites ! The neon tetras go so well with the design it's perfect
My dude... This is insanely good. I love it!
Hello Tanner… I must say that of all your amazing tank designs, this one just may be my favorite.
A great way to boost the aquarium fish immune system and keeping them stress free by adding illuminating clear crystals.
Keep creating and inspiring others to do great things in life.
This honestly might be my favourite build you've done! I love the crystals in the tank!
The previous crystal tank was my favorite tank you've ever done. I'm so excited for this one too!
Love the different designs. The neons are such a perfect choice as inhabitants. If you ever did a third rendition, it woud be cool to see an entirely quartz hardscape.
This right here is probably my DREAM fish tank, it's absolutely stunning!
Favorite. Tank. Ever.
your videos always bring me so much peace and comfort. love your ideas thank you for sharing :)
Truly mesmerizing aqua scape, I love this design you came up with. What a Stellar project 🌟
you never cease to impress me with your skill and artistry. always very inspiring 😃
This one is so much better, plants really make your builds.
Brobably one of your greatest creations
That turned out *much* better than the previous design. It has a lot of Avatar feel to it, with the arching structures and the glowing aspects.
If you make a saltwater tank you should try this again, because many corals glow under uv and the crystals would blend right in😊
Outstandingly unique and stunning, wow
Hey I wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. I found you channel at a hard time in my life and they bring me much needed peace watching you out these setups together. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next design.
Dude, IMO a Superman's castle of solitude theme tank would be perfect for quartz crystals only tank. No rocks, woods, plants, just all white quartz crystals and sand. All white/transparent fish too.
This is by far the coolest aquarium you have ever built.
Tanner, this is one of my favorites. It’s really gorgeous!! The Catfish is perfect.
You're absolutely killing it man. You've really outdone yourself! Hope the finger gets better soon
I love the brown, black and green colours together in this tank👌🏻
You're designs are always inspiring but this one makes me want to break out a 10 gallon and buy crystals immediately
I think the crystal tank came out beautiful! The crystals add a wonderful surrealism to the tank. Love the fish you added as well. I've never seen a Banjo catfish before. You can really see how it got it's name. Thank you for sharing another awesome build!
Man, what a gift to be so creative. Love this channel!❤️
The black neon tetras look fantastic in this set up! Beautifully done.
I instantly fell in love with the catfish. Also I to prefer the natural look, but these experimental designs are really cool.
I love these videos so much, I’ve been watching you for 3 or 4 years now and I always get excited when you post. Thank you.
Amazing 🙌 you really nailed all the updates and modifications since the last setup and it really paid off! 10/10 on this one, one of my favorites yet! Keep it up! Thanks for sharing 🙏
I absolutely love this with the crystals. I also like the natural environments but this is mystical and so lovely.
I Love this. It looks like an ethereal world with magic crystals growing from the ground. Gorgeous and sooooo much fun
I love the catfish
Thank You for sharing. I'm in my sixties now but I love sci-fi and I'm still a dreamer, you created a beautiful world in a confined space that I could get lost in!!
I'm a subscriber, I know your reputation as an artist, I saw the thumbnail.. I am still flabbergasted by your talent to build such amazing designs for your projects! Thanks for everything you do, I know every time I make a new enclosure for any of my animals I am heavily inspired by your work.
You know Tanner, everything you do is magical!
thank you so much for sharing your visions and realities with us.
It's so so beautiful. The driftwood has a flow that makes it stand out. It's amazing!
Watching his creativity and style evolve is captivating
It’s beautiful Tanner ! 🌺💚🙃
This might be my favorite of all your creations.
Your work never disapoints i love your vids and i always can relax and sit back while im watching❤
Your tank looks like viewing the sky from underwater and in a cave. Very cool
You have created a truly magical world for them 👍
Man, this is such a beautiful tank!!! It might be one of my favorites you've made
Absolutely STUNNING!
I'm not really a lover of art. But your art is fantastic and watching you make it is mesmerizing. Don't stop bro. You rule.
The movement and composion are fantastic! brown sand is really tying in the bright branches
A masterpiece!
This is absolutely stunning! The black neon tetras look really good in the glow of the crystals, and I was also pleased to see you added a banjo! I have two of them myself, they are always interesting because you don't see them much, and when you do it's like finding a new fish in the tank!
Ive been watching your vids since forever. Finally decided to make my own channel. I only hope my enclosures come out as amazing as yours do.
Amazing design!!
Love how this turned out! 😊I've been working on some small proof-of-concept tanks using quartz chunks and points as part of the hardscapes, and under/in-tank lighting is definitely on my list of experiments to run asap.
You create some amazing ecosystems. Have you ever considered a build where you incorporate an underwater sandfall?
The Banjo Catfish fits perfect and fits so incredibly well. This is the coolest fish I ever sae
Love the mix of magic and majesty
I love all your builds, but I feel like the inhabitants of this one was perfect! The tetras do a really good job capturing the light from the crystal with their blue bands and translucent bodies and the banjo catfish looks perfect in the substrate! Much love
So beautiful!! Looks like a fantasy magical forest scape!
