DIY STREAM Style Aquascape (Low Tech)

- I know... I did it again! Breaking aquariums is part of the process I suppose. This time I had the tank propped up on a few boards and bumped it off. The bulkheads were installed, so when it landed the glass cracked.
No problem, some of my favorite projects to date happened because of mistakes and I think this is one of them. I wanted to create something simple, unique, and different from others I've shown.
I really like how it turned out and it seems like all the inhabitants do as well. What else would you add to the tank? I was thinking Hillstream Loaches, but usually, they're recommended for 30 gallons or more. I know this is only 19, but the footprint of the tank is much larger than usual. Let me know what you think in the comments!

I really like how this one turned out. I think it will really shine through as the Bolbitis matures and fills in the setup. What else would you stock it with though? Let me know!
can you do a water terrarium I have made one myself and I want to see if I did it right
I bet a kilifish would stand out really well against all the dark substrate
WOW this scape is 10000000000000000000000000000/10
hillstream loaches would be amazing in this setup!
Throw a few nano rainbow fish in there
I love how Tanner never wastes his materials. He always finds uses for everything most people would probably throw away!
That's part of what helps me continuously make new things.
It really is awesome what he can do.
Agreed
Not everytime haha look how much silicone hes using on the tropic terrarium builds
When you love nature so much, youll care for it
I really love your black snails. They look like the river rocks and I just think that is great.
That why I got them! Someone new is watching the tank, "Did that stone move!?"
I'd not heard of black snails before. Interesting!
@@SerpaDesign just tell them it’s a pet rock
@@SerpaDesign living stones
@@SerpaDesign the nerite snails I've kept in my open tank crawl out so I'm nervous to put any in there. I've heard they do this because the water quality sucks and they want to find a better water source? I maintain my tanks regularly so I don't know about that one.
tanner in 2030: 'hey there serpa squad i'm here today with a new build'
ZOOMS IN ON A PLANET
i found this earth had a crack in it, but we can make something out of it anyway. i start by removing the old human substrate, and tossing it out, since it was the cause of all the trouble anyway (haha)
A perfectly conceived and executed planet
ハードクレイジー😁
So he'll be Slartibartfast?
@@benjaminrapp7418 Magrathea had their time brother.. let's move on
stock it with hill trout danio they look like little trout
They're a beautiful fish! Not very common in my area unfortunately.
white cloud mountain minnows would be cool, and maybe a few hill stream loaches.
Yesss
He already has white clouds with his toads
Stocking idea: hillstream loach, they like the high flow
I love hillstream loaches, but that water line looks a little too high. I'm sure Tanner could whip up a DIY lid no problem though lol
These are my favorite fish and I'd love to see you get some!
@@WhoTheHellIsHarvy yes. Especially the reticulated variety. It would stand out nicely against the black rocks
I have one and it his so cool, it looks like a stingray
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Me too. Love how they aren't shy at all either. So awesome when they're swimming in open water they are so cool.
This is the aesthetic I was trying to achieve with my first tank but I had that floating wood problem which really threw a wrench into my plans. Yours turned out absolutely stunning!
“Yo, what’s up serpa squad?” Today is going to be a good day.
Gorgeous tank! I love the section you put at the end about lighting/ferts/maintenance, I'd love to see you do a full video about tank maintenance!
Also, your videos have been a massive source of peace and serenity in this stressful year. Thank you for what you do, it truly brings me (and so many others) so much joy.
I swear that antscanada and serpadesign post a video around the same time
They do...
They do! Lol that's my after work routine.. I watch them almost religiously lol
2 of my favorite channels!
@Bogey Man I don't think so. He has a erratic uploading schedule today was just a fluke.
Ant canada is the reason i found serpas
Thanks so much! Because of you I made a month ago my first terrarium and gave it to dad for birthday and he loved it! Also I have been spending a lot of time in nature! I love making terrariums!
You can totally tell the difference between a simple hobby and passion. You, my friend, are obviously very passionate about what you do. Hats off for this channel
I'd love to see some Hillstream Loach in this setup. This aquarium is awesome.
My thoughts exactly
I love your design as always Serpadesign, and I love how you reuses materials. My favorite shrimp is the bamboo shrimp, and since you asked for stocking suggestions, I offered my favorite shrimp. I love all your videos, and I can’t wait for the next one!
This is probably one of my favorites of your recent builds. I really like how the various shades of black make everything else pop.
I love how you explain almost every single step on creating this amazing aquarium
Sewellia would be a FANTASTIC addition! They're are so many understated yet very complimentary dark colour forms and their behaviour in a stream aquarium is unbeatable!
This is really gorgeous. I love the long dimensions of this tank- as well as the river look.
I'm just impressed by how you simply turned an ugly situation to a beautiful aquascape. Thanks for the video
I have never seen anyone so innovative and dedicated. He is really inspiring
I love the simplicity to this tank. It's beautiful.
I love aquascapes and this one looks really very pretty 😍
I love your positive attitude whenever something goes wrong and you work through it
I've seen every build for the past 3 years and i gotta say. this one might be a top 3 all time for me! looks great!
I really love seeing your geckos even though I am having kind of phobia towards them....
Beautiful. Subtle, and pristine. I would love to see you talk about your aquarium maintenance. Thank you for continuing to share your designs.
Great aquascape as always! Stocking idea: You should get Rainbow or Greenside darters since streams are their natural habitat.
Beautiful. I really like that there is a current against which the fish are swimming. It makes it seem that much more real and interesting.
Love the darkness to this scape! Those rocks are so pretty.
I love danios so much, and pearl danios are one of my favorites. They seem so underappreciated! Temperate and coolwater are my favorite, especially river and stream setups!
River loatches would be my only suggestion the love the flow and the space is adequate plus they have a nice personality
I love how this tank looks it is beautiful.
This is one of my favorites, Tanner. Beautifully done!
You and Joanna from the small scape inspired me to make an aquascaped tank that I'm pretty proud of. Thank you guys!
Love the dark colors and the contrast with the greens.
I love the look of this tank. It’s beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful setup Tanner, you make it look so easy!
I really enjoy watching you work! You make things look so easy and you’re so talented. I really love this! So often you see new builds with light sand, which I think is beautiful and usually more natural looking. However, I use black sand and this setup is very natural looking and striking! All the dark makes the green pop more. Beautiful job as usual!
One of the most marvilous peace of art, amazing view!
I can`t wait to see how the flow of the water influences the plant growth once they all get established, I`m imagining something like how trees grow in super windy locations, but I guess we`ll have to wait and see! Great build, as usual. Thanks!
This is my absolute favorite that I've seen you do. It's gorgeous
These black rocks are so beautiful!!!
Very stylish! Nice! I like that there is movement in the plants with this one.
I’ve always been interested in red belly dace. There’s many different varieties of them as well. They have a nice red stripe going from head to tail.
This one is my favourite, absolutely awesome
My goodness , you are good at this artform.
Simply stunning.
Again !
You do such a great job with all your projects. Thanks for sharing them.
I love watching your videos! I currently finished my second vivarium for my crested geckos. I like the way the black silicone looked better then the clear. I felt so proud after completing it.
Absolutely stunning scape! I love how much the plants pop against all the dark things in there. A school of 10-12 pygmy corys would look cool in there!
Excellent. So natural in appearance.
I love this scape!! I’m really enjoying your vids, Tanner. You’re my go-to channel for aquariums. Best wishes from Australia 😊
I think this layout is the best one you've done. Looks really clean and simple
I'm digging the stream set up. Look really cool!
So glad to see you going back to the roots for this one. More like your old stuff!
Nice idea! Love the materials you use for the setup! Gratz
This one is really classy looking. Very nice!
Extremely attractive build and great inspiration!
This video helped me to realize what I want my 20long to look like. I've been toying with it for a while.
I've tried dirted but it ways ends up being a mess. Guess I should focus on balancing the minerals in my tap.
Thank you for the video! Great low tech setup!
you are always the best, I like your works so much at all. thank you for your wonderful and beautiful video clips...
You are a master aquascaper. Every single one looks incredible
stunning! love the simplicity of it
You're a master of your craft, for sure! ❤
Looks awesome as always! This channel actually helped me cope with stress 😄
Your videos never fail to relax me ❤️
I think this is my favorite so far Tanner! The asthetic is beautiful and the way those danios are schooling reminds me of trout swimming up stream... I love it my friend
Do a brackish water aquarium. They're really cool!
Do cool fish like mudskippers and glassfish
oh yes, i love brackish tanks!
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Archer fish, gobies and so many others!
@@ghomerhust Me too!
Omg yes mudskippers!!!!
Wow amazing, very professional work!
I love this tank. It is my favorite design so far.
Nice design, simple , I like it
This was a beautiful build. I love the black gravel with black stones.
Awesome looks, I love your work! Thank you.
I think this one is fantastic as it is. No need for extra stocking! The danios really fit, they look like little baby trout ❤
very nice set up looks so natural
This Channel is just TOO AWESOME
I absolutely love your work. I subscribed to you when I was looking for things to make for my snails they are only garden snails iv had them for about 5 months now iv made a fish bowl terrarium for them and your videos have really inspired me! In the process of making the lid at the moment!
Looks really good. For another inhabitant that enjoys a moderate flow, I would suggest a hillstream loach.
Corydoras would look lovely scrabbling along the bottom! They’re an awesome cleanup crew too. My favorite bottom dwellers next to pleces.
*sees post from SerpaDesign*
*automatic like*
For real though I loooove this one. Easily one of my faves. Very simple and elegant. Great job!
Loved the video! So beautiful and I’d love a tank like this! The different rock sizes bring so much to it! I think a river loach would be a great addition! I have one in my tank and it’s very active on the glass, plants, and rocks! Their coloring would go well with the tank too
Superbly made ... amazing work kudos 👏🙌👌🏼👍🏻
Coincidentally I've just been considering doing a nano-stream aquarium with a small long tank I've got lying around. Thanks for the inspiration as always.
Stunning! Love the black.
Love the new way to cut holes in the glass. Much more exact
I like that you recycle your materials! Really like this scape :) So cool. ✌
I love your setups.
They are nice.
Tanner must have a really good "planning ahead" brain
When I saw the final hardscape, I was like, "woah. Way too many large rocks."
But Tanner must have thought, "I'll fill some places with plants so that it looks good, so we don't need to worry about that now."
massive props to people who can think of that stuff while doing their hardscape...
This is sooo clean looking. I love it!
Such a gorgeous tank, the pearl danios really set it off!
This is quite a stunning tank
The black snails!! What a cool inhabitant!!
Nice job Sir Tanner!! Very peaceful, beautiful set up. 👍👍👍🦃
Great inspiration!!Very beautiful
Its perfect, I love your work.
Looks great 😀👍 I like the dark colors in the background and bottom. The greens and fish will stand out nicely.
Your videos are getting me back in the hobby.
Man... You have inspired me so much that I sure will be creating my own aquarium from scratch
Wow! it's so beautiful!, and peaceful, I love you channel!!
Vampire Shrimp, Bamboo Shrimp, and Hillstream Loaches are some of the coolest freshwater critters and they all love flowing water. I bet the filtering shrimp will spend all day perched on the branches in front of the filter output, washing their little fans around. That would be super satisfying to watch.
Simple and elegant 👍
