    I'm so glad to finally have this one complete! I think it turned out really well and I'm glad that I waited as long as I did. What do you think of the finished terrarium? Also I hope everyone is still doing well. Sending all my love out to the SerpaSquad 💚

    The only problem I have with this apart from finding the container, getting the materials, getting used in working with the different materials, glues and silicon, having a basic idea how it should look like, getting a sense for colors and for arranging stuff is: you need to be an artist. I love what you do.

      @@100daysmic9 I wonder if springtails could help keep the algae under control via that foam backing. I assume that porous black foam would act a lot like activated carbon would, which many people culture springtails on, and if they lived on/around it they could eat the algae that gathers above the water level.

It's an absolute joy to see your imagination at play. I love that you kept this one simple. It's very dramatic and yes, the moss effectively maintains the look of a much larger landscape. Love it.

      I think if you were to put some activated charcoal it would not get moldy . You should not have to clean it as long as you didn't put any fish or other animals that would poop in the water. If you use Distilled water the pump should last a long time. Using tap water may cause lime deposits which would build up in the pump and cause it to stop.

    I'm surprised that chemicals from the adhesive, foam, fabric, cardboard, etc. don't leech into the water and poison it. Perhaps you explained in another video, but how do you deal with those concerns, using artificial materials?

    • @nw649
      @nw649 2 года назад +6

      These are mostly safe materials, the foam and silicone included once it has set properly are mostly inert. However, I say it’s always good practice to rinse those elements thoroughly after curing and before scaping just to minimize that.

    • @vituperation
      @vituperation 4 года назад +13

      In a setup like this, there are no animals in it so the upkeep is absolutely minimal. Basically, the only thing you might do is remove excess plant growth like trimming the moss (especially the java moss) or removing floating plants. For contingencies, it's helpful to have a way to remove the pumps for cleaning or replacement, but in a setup with no animals, there won't be much biofilm buildup even after months of running.
      Biggest problems *I* would expect are mold for sure (springtails will remedy this), unsightly algae on the underwater glass, potentially dead plants if not enough light is provided, and maybe the pump burning out from poor manufacturing.

    Amazing build! I would love to see this terrarium with the front portion of the glass cut off. I don't know if it is possible to "cut" glass this thick easily, but if it is doable I think it would make an amazing addition.
    What I'm thinking is following the shape of the background and leaving about 5cm of glass next to it + the water feature. It will make it into a really open setup so it would take a bit more maintenance but imo it would benefit the look.
    Keep up the amazing work!!!
