Oh Tanner, please do a LIVE build along! like Bob Ross! The Joy of SerpaDesign 🐸

Woow

Dear Tanner, how would you build a compact flowing water system that could serve as a cat fountain? is a bioactive and safe filter system even possible? with a swappable container for daily water changes? without disrupting or dismanteling it all? Love your work, the designs, the presentation, your accent! Hope that deer let you live! Love from Germany

Kinda wish I had access to ponds...

how does it get oxygen if you cover the jar? co2?

When I setup my tank at first the pulsing Xenia were doing so well but I got rid of them lol but I miss the movement they add to the tank so I got some later 😂

I could just watch it for hours. What a joy to have in your house!

Several decades! 😂😂 your not 70+trs old

Several decades???

That ain’t goin no where

Best episode yet!!

I was convinced you must have at least one or two employees to care for all of that. I’m glad you talked about the time it takes you to maintain. It gives me hope that someday I can have a few of my own.

It would be cool if you would sell us a DIY kit with this aquarium and everything else you need including plants etc for that great under $50 price tag. I’d definitely get one.

Can’t wait for updates on this. Can you do shorter monthly updates like a reel

hey Tanner, been watching your videos for just over a year now and i gotta ask, why do you link your second channel at the end of every video? you havent uploaded on it for over 2 years!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your main channel so much though, its no big deal to me! just wondering why

I'm planning a bioactive vivarium for a future snake friend.❤❤❤

I have a similar idea with white sand and a much smaller container (2gal) at the most. I'm looking to have a mini beach, but rain forest/jungle lingering over top on both sides. Eventually, have a Blue Poision Arrow Frog, a few Butterworts, Jumping Spiders, and clean up creatures. Got my white sand, small black pebbles from the dollar store. I just need to find some moss in a wooded area. I'll be halfway there. How is your sand holding up? Looks like you used filter sand?

Tanner your videos are so inspiring, thank you for introducing me to nature design. It’s become so positive for me and my self confidence I have so much fun creating and it’s all because of you! :)

This is probably one of my favorite videos and I’m so excited to try this with my 5 gallon marine land tank

As someone who doesn't live in a forest biome, I would like to know if this is possible with desert items. Maybe another cheap build with other biomes would be fun.

I can't believe how many people keep fish in tanks with no rocks, substrate, or plants. Just a tank with an air bubbler, and they are so proud of it. Or how many people keep reptiles and just their throw their enclosures on a wire shelf, with wires all over the place and absolutely no thought on making their rooms look good. Maybe that's why I like this channel so much. You have a very good eye and create rooms and enclosures with ambiance.

that cop skit was great lol love from utah serpa!

Hey serpa I love how you show where you got your materials from, same with the enclosure and waterfall, simple and effective making this hobby accessible for everyone !

So your saying this beautiful thins is cheaper than a full tank of gas.😮😮

Love your videos but especially love your isopod videos. I would love to know where you might live because it is beautiful.

In my experience, millipedes can rapidly overpopulate a tank and throw it out of balance. I experimented with them in some terrariums years ago and they completely stripped all the dead organic matter, had a huge population boom, and them fluctuated back and forth in population while consuming every single scrap of dead organic matter in the enclosure, so it was bare ground everywhere there wasn't something green.

Tanner popping off on these last few videos ???

Can't wait for the update!

beautiful is an understatement

Great video

I can't believe you got Billy Mays to do a cameo! You're moving up in the world Tanner! 🤣🤣

Beautiful work. I know you enjoyed foraging for mosses in your yard and local area. I think moss is one of the wonders of the natural world. I've been enchanted by it since I was a little girl in NYC long ago. It will thrive, lush and green, from nothing but grit and powdered dog poop blown into a crack in the sidewalk, watered by rain.

So jealous you can just drive down the road and find moss. I live in the Sonoran desert and it's just not something you see everywhere. I'm planning a day trip to the mountains to enjoy the change of scenery and to gather some moss and things like that. Responsible, of course.

I like the cameo from the old man " that ain't going nowhere " your format is wonderful but throwing in some comedy like that never hurts!

I wonder if you've read Gathering Moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer? She is a biologist with some great insights.

it needs a fishie 😊

Ingenious, unexpected and lovely use of a small aquarium! My new projects are all outside at the moment. Been having fun with using local native water and marginal plants in various containers. The plants are cheap from the local indigenous nursery at $2 each, or less for their volunteers. Do Indigenous Plant Nurseries exist in the USA? For my next project I saw an example of a fibreglass container pond, which was intriguing as these are a comparatively lightweight container and might be good for balconies. There are also species of small fish that are good in small ponds and eat any mosquitoes without creating a lot of waste. Medaka rice fish are one, which while not local are visible: most of our local species are well camouflaged and good at hiding! I’d love to see a Serpa designed medaka rice fish pond!

amazing

I have a spare 20cm cube and might try something similar. Looks incredible.

Those millipedes are cool but they’re very ravenous for moss, they’ll probably devour it all. Had the same thing happen in my vivarium ;(

Thank you for including the "that aint goin' nowhere ' clip 😂😂 so good

Dude where’s the affiliate linkkkkk

is expanding foam like that safe in saltwater? would be cool to make a back wall with that + rocks for an AIO tank

Love the addition of the millipedes, on top of everything else. Always blowing minds brother, keep 'em coming.

Huge fan & love the videos! With that being said living in Texas I want to SCREAM whenever you’re just grabbing moss from your backyard 🥲

This video came at the perfect time! I was about to attempt a ten gallon paludarium similar to your rubber ducky isopod build, and I had always wanted to include a water feature. I had tried time and time again since I found your channel about 7-8 years ago. But now with the advice from this video I think I can do it! I plan to get some millipedes, like the large one you found in the woods. Thanks so much, you have always been one of my biggest inspirations! ❤

You definitely make it seem doable for anyone with any amout of experience. I like that!
