I love how you’re never afraid to pull something apart and say it wasn’t working. So many people would just keep going and pretend that they love the end result just to save face. I like the authenticity.
I like it when creators leave mistakes and correcting those mistakes in too. I learn more from the mistakes than I do anything else so it’s nice to see someone make them before I do
Don't they need more open water? As I remember they were living in the small ponds in the forest nearby. And they spawn in the water like frogs aren't they?
I think eastern newt red efts would do great in a setup like this, and adults ~can~ technically be kept terrestrially, though they won't breed for ya that way. Not sure if they'd be legal in PA anyway, and it's very tough to find captive-bred ones. European marbled newts, while they'd also need a good water area for breeding, could be perfectly happy for most of the year in a mostly-terrestrial setup like this, and they're pretty easy to find captive-bred.
@@AlphaTier494 all amphibians (with few rare exceptions) spawn in water but that doesn't make them unsuitable for this tank. Newts certainly couldn't live here because they live in water for most of the year but salamanders could be a choice
"I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out." PRETTY pleased? Seeing the final outcome of this was just mind boggling-ly beautiful. This is my favorite yet!
hi Tanner, I am a landscape architect in Hungary and I just want to say, your work, your design, your art is absolutely amazing! Never stop it! I have never seen same quality before. Thank you for your art.
Ever since that one break he took, his videos and confidence have went to a new level. Now, whenever I get the notification a new video gets posted I’m always ready and anxious for Tanners head to pop out somewhere...
As a fellow western Pennsylvanian, you nailed this one. I think the only thing missing would be juvenile Eastern Spotted Newts or another type of salamander living under a log.
Agreed. I always caught my salamanders and newts in the woods by the waterfall. Dendrolycopodium obscurum may be a bit hard to reign in, but would really go well if mimicking local flora. 🙏🏼😁(it's my fav!) Edit: Oh, and salamanders!
Edit: after watching the video in it’s entirety, I revoke my statement about the toads and salamanders. Too many for the size. Newts are the best option, the best of both worlds (terrestrial and aquatic). Fire-belly newts are so much fun to watch.
I feel like some kind of frogs would really appreciate this, perhaps darts if the water isn't too deep, maybe the larger variety like dendrobates tinctorius, I keep them myself, such amazing animals ❤️
This is so creative and I appreciate that you included the re-build. This is so important to the process, having the ability and brevity to stop and try something different. Thank you for sharing these videos!
wow that went from "i hope this looks good" to incredibly beautiful very quickly. So much of the realistic feel comes from moss its crazy how much texture it gives.
EDIT: I posted an extended view of this tank on the second channel. Check it out! ruclips.net/video/Fgi8N9XyMVc/видео.html I've been thinking about making something like this for a while now. What do you think? Also, what can you picture living in here? I personally think some invertebrate would be best, but I'm open to your suggestions. Let me know!
I absolutely LOVE this one! It feels straight out of fairy-tale forest...absolutely magical and stunningly beautiful. Easily one of my favourite scapes of yours!
I wouldn’t say poison dart frogs tbh I think he’s trying to mimic something closer to him so newts are the closest and dart frogs would look better in the 180 gallon jungle Vivarium
I keep coming back to this video. It's probably my favorite thing Tanner has made. I live in the NE US and this is a common sight around here. I've always been captivated by temperate forest biomes and especially by the ferns. I look forward to building something like this when I have more space.
I don't know what it is about this one, maybe because I love the woods and flowing water, but this has to be one of my favorites Tanner! (Also, wouldn't newts be adorable?)
This absolutely bangs. The plant selection isn't what I would've gone for, but I'm a weirdo about trying to re-create exact biotopes. I think you perfectly captured the leveling and scale of those little temporary runoff streams. Some of my favorite little micro-environments!
Ooh I have begonia rex “rumba” in my terrarium. I just noticed this morning that it’s flowering for the first time! My potted begonia rex “escargot” started flowering a couple weeks ago too. So pretty ☺️
"Sueswoussertongue" 😂 I love it when Englisch speaking people try on german words it ofentimes sounds so funny. I didnt know the german word for that plant was the international common name for it lol.
I think you captured the impermanence of the scene you described very well in this piece, there is so much motion to the landscape, the eyes naturally trace left to right, following the plants and terrain so I agree that something fast moving like an active invertebrate would complete it best. Artistically I think a millipede colony or something similar would be the best looking, but I'm ignorant to the care of those animals so I'm not sure if this is a suitable home for them or not. Beautiful piece as always regardless, thank you for sharing.
I don’t know what you did for a living before all this but you have truly found your calling!!!! Evenly time I see one of your videos it really makes me miss my 150 planted tetra tank. Like REALLY miss....🤔
Frogs or toads are the obvious first choice, but spotted salamanders live in places like this and would contrast very well with the plants+logs. They should even be able to breed as long as there's a puddle somewhere.
You're videos are the most relaxing ever, not to mention your art is beautiful. I'd love to see you try a hermit crabitat. Most i see are boring and the same usual things, I can see you taking it to the next level
This has got to be the most naturalistic viv you've done so far! I LOVE it!! Also, Vampire crabs would love that set up (granted they would need a larger water area where they could submerge completely to molt and breed)!
Reminds me a lot of forest floors from my childhood in upstate ny. The only stocking i can imagine for this setup is salamanders i suppose. I'm more of an aquarium man though, so I don't know my stuff too well
It literally means "sweet-water-tang" and is somewhat pronounced as "sy (as in syllable) ss (like the sharp s in sweet) - wa (pronounced with an a as in all) ss (again, sharp s) er - tang (a again)" I dunno if this helps in anyway. very difficult over writing
@@capuchinosofia4771 the closest way to understand how to pronounce Süßwasser is to think of how we pronounce Seuss, as in Dr Seuss. So, like Soup, but with a long s on the end instead of the p, Soos. Wasser itself is easier, Prounounce W like a V, and then the ER is not a had sound, but more like ah, so it's Soos-vassahr... once you got that much done, you just stick the tang on the end. Süßwasser means freshwater, in it's most basic explanation. Sweetwater is a very uncommon word in English for Freshwater. At least, this is how I was taught by my german Grandmother and many german classes over the years.
From my very brief experience growing mushrooms, once you see the actual fruiting bodies above the soil, they've basically colonized as much of the substrate as they can. After a few waves of them fruit and drop spores, they vanish for good. I have no idea how they'd fair in a vivarium, but the few I've had accidentally grow in also disappear after a while. It would be cool if they were a more permanent presence. Maybe there's a trick to it.
A really good way to do this is to have a piece of cork round or some sort of little flower pot embedded in the scape. Then you add already colonized with mycelium substrate to that. After the mushrooms are done fruiting (or harvested if youre growing something edible) you remove that plug of mycelium from the flower pot and add another, rinse lather repeat.
Marbled newts (triturus marmeratus) a small group of 5 would be perfect in there they don't require and lighting like hear or uv just a simple day and night cycle
@@renegaderebel2223 great! I've caught a t. dobrogicus male and if i find a female I'll start breeding them and releasing the efts to strengthen the population
Since he wanted to go for invertebrates, vampire crabs would thrive in this setup. Certainly what I would put in there. But knowing Tanner, I guess we'll be in for a surprise.
I agree with the top comment here a salamander was the first thing I thought of... As I grew up in MI and this type of scene was the most common I found many red-backs I think this is perfect for them!
This is amazing! An American Green Tree Frog would look great. They are native to temperate forests so it would look natural inside there. Or maybe an american toad.
I’m thinking salamanders would be a good choice.
Exactly what I was thinking. 👍🏼
Exactly what I was thinking.
Definitely!!
Agree!
salamanders or small frogs. Maybe poison arrow or tree frogs. Make sure the lid is tight. Salamanders are escape artists.

same!
It clearly needs a couple newts and some rolly polly's.
Don't they need more open water? As I remember they were living in the small ponds in the forest nearby. And they spawn in the water like frogs aren't they?
The ones around here I've seen live under rotten logs and leaf litter. That vivarium looks very like the ravine I grew up playing in.
I think eastern newt red efts would do great in a setup like this, and adults ~can~ technically be kept terrestrially, though they won't breed for ya that way.

Watching Tanner and his channel grow these past years has been amazing! Hes cultivated an amazing community here too!
It's beautiful. It looks like you took a cube out of the forest and put it in a glass tank. My favorite terrarium you made, so far.

I was ready for you popping out but did not expect it in the mirror at all.
So in that case you weren't 😉
Your videos are the only things that make me smile anymore, thanks
i find this set up so interesting. And yes salamanders would be great.
I'll never see ceiling tiles the same way ever again... 😂
lol
Newts or frogs are what I can see in this build. This build really did bring me back to the spring/summer going on hikes every weekend
It is just like a section of forest. It's beautiful.
Tanner's video styles are changing to more and more humorous and I LIKE IT

salamanders
You should try a mushroom or fungus themed terrerium
I love the idea of vivariums made for an ecosystem that kind kf exists already, similar to antscanada origional fireant setup
0:56 That was so clever I gave it a thumbs up!
I,i don't even have words for how COOL this is!!
It really does look like a single fallen tree. You created that affect beautifully.
I feel like some type of newt or salamander would look really cool.
Tanner is an artistic genius the likes of which you don't see every day
This might be one of my favorites. I am a sucker for temperate forests.
Dart frogs are something I've always wanted I think they would look amazing in here
Yay so early!!! Love from Australiaaa its midnight here but i wait up for your video 😄😄😄
Its 1am but it's worth
overslept here, but yeah--usually for Tanner--his stuff is worth it.

I think this is the most gorgeous build I've seen anyone make.
Wow this is even more inspirational than usual.
Very amazing and pretty. These videos are always so good and relaxting.
This is my favorite build ever! It’s so peaceful and literally looks like you took a piece of the forest home with you!
Seeing you in this new joking manner on your videos makes me happy
I absolutely LOVE this build! It's very imaginative and straight to the point, well done and thank you!
Poison dart frogs or fire bellied newts are all you need .
I wouldn’t say poison dart frogs tbh I think he’s trying to mimic something closer to him so newts are the closest and dart frogs would look better in the 180 gallon jungle Vivarium

Just wondering what newts eat...
Beautifull!! I always love it when trees become part of the environment and plants and moss starts to grow on it.
It's beautiful, and dart frogs for sure!
I think this is one of my favorites ever!
