Want an update on how this ecosphere is doing: Then check out the video below. I show how it's doing months later and go over a lot of the questions I got in this video. ruclips.net/video/sbC0S6RQ7Z4/видео.html
this channel needs more views. I say this every video but every time he uploads it blows me away. You should sell some of these, I'd buy the moss ball thing for $200 at least
Please post frequent updates on this! I've ben really interested in this use of moss balls but. I know that a lot of their cute shape comes from movement and not natural growth pattern, so I'm curious how the shape ages over time. As well as how you can expect it to fill in over time. Could it be used like a moss? Who knows! Great work! Cheers!
The videos and your skill bring me joy. So does seeing how much you've grown from older videos to newer ones. It motivates me to not give up on things that bring me joy, even if it's not perfect. Thank you :)
Very well produced video! It's so rare to find someone who has a good microphone and knows how to use it and doesn't ruin the video by adding horrendous music. Seriously, well produced!
Wow, that is stunning!! Elegant simplicity. (Even though we know there's nothing simple about it) You are such an artist. ❤ Your video production is top shelf, also. 👍 It's always a good thing to get a notification from you. Thank you.
My 6 year old son loves your videos! The other day I sat down and watched with him and now I’m hooked too! We are even doing some native eco of our own this summer. Thank you for creating content like this!
Thanks, Tanner. I have a rectangular sweet jar I just (re-)discovered in the back garden today. This would be a nice little project for it. I also have slate and sand. All I need is driftwood or maybe a piece of old hedge that's been lying around for a year or two.I might try an aerial one and cover the tree top with fabric or capillary matting to grow actual moss on. Tricky.
This looks stunning in it's simple way. Congratulations! I wouldn't add any other inhabitants besides the snails, they are great in there.:) But this is your little gem of course. Please keep it updated, would be very interesting to see what becomes of it. Thanks for sharing!
Enjoying your videos and learning so much, many thanks they're giving me a new lease on life Love laughter and light to you and family I'm 71 from Australia and really greatful thank you
Hey dude I have a crazy idea for a build Do you know about Sandy from SpongeBob ? Finding a glass shaped like her home would be a challenge and probably some other stuff too But It sounds like a possible idea I got this idea by watching your terrarium inside an aquarium video Hope you give this a thought
Go search Hampture (Hamster Rapture) where a guy made an underwater habitat for his hamsters inspired from Bioshock. It's already going for almost a decade and it's amazing.
the only obstacle that i can think of is if you were to put a real bonsai tree inside the dome, they would still need some air flow. most trees dont do well in a 100% closed environment for too long. maybe that could be fixed with a couple of air hoses fed from the bottom, one connected to an air pump and the other left open to serve as exhaust.
Your videos and your enthusiastic narration are both very much appreciated, and both have come a long way in quality since the very early videos. You have a ton of regular viewers who watch each of your videos and support what you do. Awesome work.
Hi Tanner! I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. The wood, rocks and marimo balls are perfect! I think this is something I could do, but would need to see what the maintenance is first. Will you be doing a video on that? Thank you for sharing!
Sooo beautiful and serene. I would love to stare at that on a sunlit table over morning coffee. Very nice job and I agree that it needs nothing else. Such elegance in simplicity. 💚
There is a guy on RUclips who does awesome aquariums full of life. He uses loctiite superglue, and I wondered about that, but his critters thrive. I believe once it has dried and set it is fine.
For several years I was a stay-at-home parent, I did aquascapes, terrariums, and I spent years to cultivate black guppies. Your channel is a delicious slice of Zen for me now that I don't have the time for such arts
I luv the way u bring about nature inside an enclosed space.i luv the art and therapuetic effect plants and insects living in harmony.adore ur work. U inspire me.
I add baby marimos to literally every aquatic scape I do. I split them up into gumball sized babies and roll them and they really do great. They grow so fast I started with 5 in 2015 and gave 25 away Christmas eve alone.
Alex. By accident I pushed thumbs down. I am so sorry. I corrected. I hope it does NOT effect. I pushed 👍. That is correct. It was for a few seconds . Thank you for listening. GOD'S BLESSINGS SHALOM. CHOW from MICHIGAN
Hey tanner, I’ve had a bit of an issue with one of my ecospheres: Sometime last summer, i made an ecosphere from a small lake nearby. I had a shrimp (i think it’s an amano). The shrimp was very healthy in the ecosphere until a few weeks ago a noticed a patch of white mould. At this point, it didn’t really worry me because the shrimp didn’t seem to care about it... however it began to grow rapidly across substrate. About a week ago, I noticed that the mould had started to climb up the sides of the jar and up some java fern. It was then that I had noticed that the shrimp had died and had a thin layer of this mould growing on top of it. The actual mould is quite strange, it’s made from round balls about the size of a pea, and the peas are placed every 3-4 cm away from each other, they also have a thin layer of mould that forms a web like structure. Like I said, the mould only appeared a few weeks ago and the ecosphere was made last summer and hasn’t been opened since. If ANYONE can please tell me anything about what you think has happened or what this ‘mould’ is then please leave a comment! Thanks. (Man, my hands hurting from all of that typing! 😂)
Doggy Mama their definitely not eggs, the biggest think that was in their was a shrimp.... you can also see through them slightly. Thanks for the help tho 👍
Anything in jars without aeration goes moldy, eventually. Lack of air and oxygen results in mold growth. Buy a small air pump and see the difference. Only dry and sterilized stuff can go in jars, and sealed. From an ex aquarium shop owner/breeder.
inspiring work as always. Looks Japanese with a rock garden/Bonzai style tree and your voice become kind of soothing after you have watched a couple of videos. Really grows on you :D
Your artistic talent is exceptional and every project is a cut above the rest because of it. Your setups just come together perfectly, the color, the textures and contrast, you create beautiful works of art. But then you share your ideas to teach anyone who wants to learn how to do it and that's awesome!! Thank you for sharing! 💖😊
Such inspirational (and also meditative) videos :D I want to leave a suggestion or idea; it would be so cute to see you create a fairy garden terrarium^^
Been awhile since I watched one of your videos but with regards to your voice, you have come a long way. Your inflections have improved 100% and makes for a pleasant narrative. Good job.
Wow wow wow. This ecosphere blew me away. Out of all of the videos I’ve seen of yours, this one is maybe my favorite. Please be sure to update on how it lasts as I might end up making one for myself. All of your videos are so lovely to watch and even encourage me in my own hobbies. Keep up the great work, Tanner.
It came out beautiful. You read my mind with the design of the tree. I was thinking a long time ago that this would look beautiful and I was right. Thanks.
Awesome setup, I have a few moss balls and might give something like this a go. I find currently, the jars they are in end up with a buildup of algae on the surface and on the glass. Do you find the snails sufficient for cleaning that, or do you often go in and clean it yourself?
I live ur videos. You are so talented. I wish I was as good as building and landscabing as you. You inspired me to make closed tarrariums, and one actually worked out well, for more than 1.5 year.
Nup! Not a bit! In their natural environment where they originated, some form into balls, and some just kinda....grow as a sheet over rocks or suchlike. I had one once that was kinda falling apart, so I pulled it apart all the way, flattened it out and lashed it to a nice rough rock I had. Just used some green cotton thread. Worked fine! The stuff really doesn't care, lol! It's just moss!
I had a marimo ball for years in a glass jar just with gravel and natural light. I just changed the water from time to time and it was completely fine. I eventually poped it in one of my tanks :)
Want an update on how this ecosphere is doing: Then check out the video below. I show how it's doing months later and go over a lot of the questions I got in this video. ruclips.net/video/sbC0S6RQ7Z4/видео.html
Would a goldfish or beta do well in this type of set up?
The ecosphere could be even so cute with a cute little gold fish ?🐠🦪.
OMG it is sooooo pretty, very beautiful.
quick FYI, but baking soda instant sets most superglues, setting even harder than normal.
@@NewsViewsAndTruth maganda ang galing
I love the snails in this tank, they give it just enjoy life without taking the view off of the mini tree
Exactly we enslave them just to make our desk look pretty
troll
TheGamingNova lol exactly, that's why Its awesome
Do you have to feed them once their in?
I'd imagine that the ecosystem provides all of the food the snails would need, we don't want dead snails in the ecosystem!🤣❤
Ever since I made my first terrarium your videos were always clearer than other people. Keep up the good work!!
Hopefully it was well worth the wait! What better way to start the ecospheres than with a happy little moss ball tree?!
Am i sensing a tiny bit of Bob Ross influence 😂
I like ecospheres, have names for the snails?
You should do more! : )
It looks SO cool
Do more
This is such a great way to keep yourself entertained and I feel it will be a great way to keep my room clean so I can display the things I will make
The simplicity of this ecosphere is more beautiful than an over done one. Keep up the awesome work, your visions are amazing.
this channel needs more views. I say this every video but every time he uploads it blows me away. You should sell some of these, I'd buy the moss ball thing for $200 at least
I just got into this hobby fairly recently AND got some moss balls I'm caring for. Hmm, now I'm quite inspired, thanks!

Fill in? They grow very very slowly lol, it'll basically always look like it does in the video
They grow reallllllllly slow
Moss balls the size of a cue ball are probably more than 8 years old
Why is your picture Arby's
@@sfdgdrgdvxff He is the owner of Arby's
Marimos are algae, they always seem to grow into vaguely spherical shapes and very slowly, so I doubt they'd deviate from that in this case.
I had a bit of a bad day, hearing your voice and watching this video gave me something to calm me down at the end of the day.
The videos and your skill bring me joy. So does seeing how much you've grown from older videos to newer ones. It motivates me to not give up on things that bring me joy, even if it's not perfect. Thank you :)
Looks like a very well grown bonsai tree except underwater xD

I appreciate that! Glad you see how far it's all come. Sometimes I have to go back too see for myself, so that I don't forget.

This echosphere is adorable. I wanna make one like this!
This looks great! I love how the focus is completely on the tree. Simplicity goes a long way. Wonderful!
Can't the glue be harmful to the snails and the moss balls?
I love the tree it's beautiful and a cool idea of something to do with moss balls.
there are eco friendly glues that you can get
I was thinking you could actually pin the moss to the tops of the driftwood. Not sure what to do about mounting the 'trunk' or the 'branches'...hmmm
That's what I was thinking too
There is a guy on RUclips who does awesome aquariums full of life. He uses loctiite superglue, and I wondered about that, but his critters thrive. I believe once it has dried and set it is fine.
@Kate Brown oh wow!

I think shrimp would be perfect for that.
Don't they need plants to breed like to lay eggs,etc
Sorry if English is wrong
I am Italian
coco nut its not really for breeding

Another great project Tanner. Excellent idea for a planted aquarium. Peace
Good god these videos just radiate comfy vibes. This vid feels how sitting in an Ikea sofa and reading a furniture catalogue feels

how do you get them to grow?? my little ones I’ve had for 2 years are teeny

This is like you make a nice bonsai tree under water. AWESOME!
Super nice dude.... would be good to see a follow up with what worked, what didnt etc.
Excellent.
Very much appreciated it.
I really did enjoy it.
One of the best ways to learn about the nature around us.
(Said with a 16th century voice) You my dear, are truly, an artistt.
thanks for another mad rad vegetation explanation, another hypnotic aquatic hydration creation, another malleable valuable portable arboreal tutorial.
How long does this eco sphere last for, any water changes etc????
Awesome, watching this ecosphere has encouraged me to finally build with a cute glass case I've been holding onto for quite sometime
Such inspirational (and also meditative) videos :D I want to leave a suggestion or idea; it would be so cute to see you create a fairy garden terrarium^^

Very Beautiful! Thank you!👍🏻🌳
everything you make (videos included!) is so beautiful and entertaining to watch. Thank you!
About the last video, when you at the top of your game, you dont have to say sh!%.. The work speaks for itself. Looks great, as always! Peace~
Thanks I appreciate that!
Thanks for the inspiration! I just made a terrarium for my dad for Father's Day. This a wonderful hobby that I hope I can continue.
You're the best Tanner! Keep it up
It's so small and simple in comparison to your other work but this is by far my favorite. BRAVO!
Thank you for this... Something even us newbies might be able to try
This is so beautful , simple as in few ingredients but amazingly beautiful. Well done!!!
really excited to see what the tree will look like after it's had some time to grow!
This is so unique! I love your more novelty and creative ecospheres
Can you make more videos on making ecospheres? How do you keep the water clean?
There is nothing to make it dirty xd
MartiN _ oh right, stagnant water stays really clean....I forgot.....🧐🤔🙄.
@Chris Most Ye but these exact snails are "pests" and with quickly eat the moss
I love this one. It's something I would put by my bed to help me fall to sleep. Love the snails.
Your low key sarcasm is hilarious.
It came out beautiful. You read my mind with the design of the tree. I was thinking a long time ago that this would look beautiful and I was right. Thanks.
Definitely on my list of favorites of your builds. Beautifully done, Tyler!
So cute. You have opened my eyes up to so many techniques I had never thought of.
Awesome setup, I have a few moss balls and might give something like this a go. I find currently, the jars they are in end up with a buildup of algae on the surface and on the glass. Do you find the snails sufficient for cleaning that, or do you often go in and clean it yourself?
Such a simple but awesome build when it came together. 👍🏻
Thanks for that 👍 🙏 looks really nice...
This is beautiful... the tree, the snails... even the colors match!
How often does the water get changed?
Sorry if I'm late, but probably never within the past 5 years because its an ecosphere and is self sustaning.
I'm now addicted! I've watched a ton of your videos. Thanks
So do you need to clean it? If yes, how and how often?
Wow!! Another great build, thank you for sharing!!
Do you have to feed the snails? I've been really thinking about getting into this hobby.
Yez they would rlly appreciate some food, my snails love peas, string beans, and zucchini
Ale Lagarda the whole point of an ecosphere is that they take care of themselves
I live ur videos. You are so talented. I wish I was as good as building and landscabing as you. You inspired me to make closed tarrariums, and one actually worked out well, for more than 1.5 year.
Awesome! I'm glad to hear that you had success with your terarrium.
Oh my gosh this is so beautiful. And I adore snails, too.
Perfect for my little rotifers buddies! Time to make a new ecosphere now. Lol, thanks!
Im new to marimo balls will reshaping them like this "hurt" them or affect their growth/health? I cant tell if you completely tore them apart or not
Nup! Not a bit!
In their natural environment where they originated, some form into balls, and some just kinda....grow as a sheet over rocks or suchlike.
I had one once that was kinda falling apart, so I pulled it apart all the way, flattened it out and lashed it to a nice rough rock I had. Just used some green cotton thread.
Worked fine! The stuff really doesn't care, lol! It's just moss!
Not at all, it's not moss, it's a ball af algae and you can use this one for a lot of decoration, it's ok. :)
I think you are a real cool guy, with a great taste and eye for design n proportion! U go man!!!!
@SerpaDesign how to keep it clean? (Water)
The sanails an moss like a fillter
Watching you is always relaxing, thanks for the great videos!
Tanner, where do you get your Manzanita wood from? I live in Canada and it's impossible to find!
He orders it online I believe. He's mentioned it before.
manzanita-driftwood.com
Thanks!@@SerpaDesign
OMFG SERPA THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST VIDS, KEEP IT UP!!!
Can’t wait for the update when you add more inhabitants. Cherry shrimp??
Simple but beautiful I'm gonna have to try one of these... Looks so relaxing and satisfying.
Amazing, can you make a video of your terrarium two month later please?
Very nice job I feel like make one for myself
Wohoooo! Finally, a better version of my moss tree💪🏻 what a Beautiful result!
how long do you think that moss will survive without co2 adn fert ?
correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that part of the reason he added the snails. The create CO2 and their poop would act as fertilizer.
I had a marimo ball for years in a glass jar just with gravel and natural light. I just changed the water from time to time and it was completely fine. I eventually poped it in one of my tanks :)
Interesting to hear that there were people who didn’t like your voice- it’s really calming
What about about a round ecosphere with a globe inside of it? With the land masses being cut moss
So beautiful. It looks like a photograph of a natural bonsai on a beach outcropping in Japan.
I didnt know snails can go underwater... This looks great!
Not all snails can
Simple yet pretty. Great creativity n patience.
what kind of chemicals are in that superglu? is it aquarium safe?
superglue is usually safe once cured
Reminds me of how I envisioned the baobab trees when reading Le Petit Prince
Maybe you could do a tarantula setup?
Not unless someone I know gets one and they need a setup. They're cool, but not something I want to get into.
The Dark Den is great for tarantula videos!
Yea I watch dark den
I love this one! ❤❤❤Your a great person IRL and at what you do!!! I always love listening and watching your channel!
