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
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...
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.
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!
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 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 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 ❤️
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!
with or without livestock in there, this one is stunning. its got a beautifully lazy flow of water, and the cork really does end up looking like decomposing roots. well done
This one is GORGEOUS. it reminds me of some hiking trails near where I live! We once saw this pretty waterfall flowing over a fallen tree, and it had a bird skeleton in it! Maybe a bit macabre, but it was a beautiful sight. Nature is sometimes kinda gnarly.
Reminds me of a Nature show "Queen of Trees." A powerful image of a catfish skeleton with a fig tree sprouting from its ribcage. Life is death. Death is life.
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 ☺️
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.
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)!
As a longtime viewer from Maine, I've gotta say I completely love this vivarium. It definitely makes me think of walking through the woods in late spring
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
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.
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
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
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.
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.
I live not too far from you and you have perfectly recreated a Western PA woodland area... I LOVE it!! A salamander or toad would really enjoy calling it home.....
One of my favourite of your builds so far. Looks like you cut out a piece of forest floor and put it in a tanks. Isopods and large millipedes would look good I reckon.

Watching Tanner and his channel grow these past years has been amazing! Hes cultivated an amazing community here too!
I find it relaxing to watch the process of making the vivarium
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.

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.
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.

It really does look like a single fallen tree. You created that affect beautifully.
Haven’t seen anyone say how nice the logo is. Props to whoever designed it.
I'll never see ceiling tiles the same way ever again... 😂
lol
You succeeded in creating just the kind of landscape you were aiming for. Kudos Tanner, yet again.
Wow this is even more inspirational than usual.
Beautifull!! I always love it when trees become part of the environment and plants and moss starts to grow on it.
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?)
Nature does wonders for the soul.
Just wondering what newts eat...
This looks like you took a snapshot of nature and stuck it in a tank. So beautiful! My new favorite!
Very amazing and pretty. These videos are always so good and relaxting.
You make each process look so simple!!
I absolutely LOVE this build! It's very imaginative and straight to the point, well done and thank you!
I love this build. A little bit of Spring in the middle of winter.

eastern tiger salamanders, spotted salamander, or some northern red newts in the eft phase! Some good ole Appalachian choices
I live in the temperate rain forest on Vancouver Island, Canada. You captured it perfectly!
This is my favorite scape of yours Tanner! The logs going in looked strange, but once you had finished, well, shut my mouth, Wonderful!
You're a genius, this something you see at a national park. This so freaking beautiful and serene. I agree with getting the fire bellied newts🦎.
I think this is my favorit setup so far even though theres nothing but plants and springtails in it yet. Looks very nice!
