  • The Impossible No Opening Orb Ecosphere.... AHHHHH! This project was quite the challenge. I knew it would be, but I couldn't have imagined that it would be anything like this. At nearly every turn I was faced with yet another hurdle. Truthfully, I almost discarded it altogether, but I knew this would be a cool project if I could pull it off. So, I continued on and made it happen!
    I really hope you all enjoy it ! Let me know what you think about it in the comments and leave the video with a thumbs up if you liked it.

    I haven't had a project give me this many issues in quite awhile... I'm looking at you Hourglass Terrarium! In seriousness, though, I couldn't have imagined it would be this challenging. It was just one problem after another. I'm glad that I continued because I really like the result. I hope that you all enjoy it as well. What do you think? Let me know and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
    ALSO, don't forget to use code "HTT26" on my Teespring for 10% off for the rest of August if you want to get merch. Huge thanks to everyone that has supported the new drop so far.

    I simply cannot get over this. You took something that’s quite literally on the brink of impossible and did THIS. Great job my boy, excellent build. Beautiful scape too! The anubias turned out to really fill the gaps there, it goes so well with the contrast of the entire scape.

    An idea/suggestion for a project - replace the bottom piece with a low fish tank (or tall, whatever suits the needs). Make the orb a centerpiece of the aquarium that goes above the water line.
    Whenever the water of the orb and the fish tank should be connected (so the fish can swim up the orb) is up to practical and long term maintenance of such construction. Would be great if fish could swim in there, but it's optional.
    Or even no fish at all in the bottom tank. This could be just an open vivarium.
    Imagine an orb of water, with water plants inside, surrounded by orchids and other plants hanging out of the bottom tank
    Just a though. I bet you have tons of other projects in mind. You're the type of guy that never lacks creativity, and for that I'm glad to be a part of SerpaSquad
