Waterfall Pond in a Terrarium (biOrb AIR Redo)

  • Five months back I made a bioactive terrarium setup in an Oase biOrb AIR. Unfortunately that one had issues that I discuss in the beginning of this video. I knew it was time to redo the biOrb and take the setup to the next level by introducing a pond. Many of you suggested this in the comments of the previous video, so I was excited to make it happen.
    In case you missed it, be sure to check out the previous video:
    • Bioactive Orchid Fores...
    In case you wanted to learn more about the biOrb AIR or were looking to buy one for yourself, check out the links below! Just linking it up for you. I don't get any kind of compensation for it:
    store.oase-usa.com/
    Also, just for the record you DO NOT need to spend a ton of cash to get a well established, highly functioning system. Check out my terrarium build playlist for more ideas:
    • Terrariums
    Full Plant List:
    Acorus gramineus miniums aureus
    Anubias nangi
    Azolla carolinina

    Fern Moss

    Been getting requests to do something like this for quite awhile. I'm glad to have finally done it and I'm excited to share it with you. Like I said in the video, I'll definitely try to make this happen in a traditional closed terrarium as well. Let me know what you think about the new rendition of the biOrb!

      Two suggestions for sealed and wireless setups in a closed terrarium.
      1.) Inductive charging using a low voltage DC pump. It would be easy to install a coil in the bottom of the terrarium and hide all the wires.
      2.) A photopopper circuit with a low voltage DC pump. A shishi odoshi would work better with the photo popper.

      I am surprised that you don't work for a zoo or the DNR or conservation society. I would think that there are a ton of jobs like that needing people like you to educate visitors and work on enclosures and natural habitat's for their animals . I think it would be a great job for you to look into/.

    Oh, Tanner! I have been searching for instructions like this for so long! So much to love here: Your choice of Savory Stone is inspired, and I plan to use it in my build. I took copious notes and will begin gathering my materials today. I may not do this in a bioOrb but I have a huge metal and glass terrarium that will accommodate a waterfall like yours above beautifully. I will send phots when I complete it. Thank you for sharing your gift with us. You are such an artist.

    Great video as always. I'd really love to see a more arid setup, some kind of desert style terrarium. You could throw in some succulents and cacti. I feel like all your setups are really wet and wild. Could be a challenge to try something totally different!
