DIY Paludarium with Foggy Waterfall

  • In this one I set up another DIY Paludarium, complete with a mist/fog maker and a waterfall. The tank measures 17.5x12x12" (12" in the back and 7.5" in the front to be specific). It also holds about 6 gallons of water. I think it turned out really well considering that I didn't have much to work with.
    As I explained in the video I wanted to keep it simple below the waterline and complex above. I wanted to keep as much of the stone visible as possible, while also maximizing the space for some critters. Hopefully I can stock it soon, but I can't at the moment. I really think you're going to like my plans.
    Anyway let me know what you thought about the finished design!

    I hope you all enjoyed this one - just a quick Saturday project! I can't wait to show you some of the other things I'm working on as well. I've been keeping busy and doing A LOT behind the scenes. More on that in the future though. Anyway I hope all of you are doing well! 🐸

      When my wife found out I watch SerpaDesign she bought me a tiny terrarium kit for Bday. It has some hardscape elements, false bottom elements and some soil.
      Nuff said I planted it with whatever I could find in the park and streets nearby :D some random weeds and moss. And later on a random bit of grass started growing as well, unexpectedly :D
      And I bought some springtails and isopods for it.

    Tanner - I’d really like to see some of your biggest fails (eg. tank leaks or major failures, materials gone wrong, etc.) and the lessons you’ve learned. I’m guessing you may not have footage of when things go wrong but as someone who’s interested in getting into this hobby, I think it would be helpful.
    I know you often mention tips and tricks during your videos but I’m curious to hear about your biggest failures and lessons learned nonetheless.
    Thanks in advance.

    @aosggame Před 4 lety +1

    Possibly unpopular opinion @4:37. Rocks alone give off the impression of a cliff. This was a great opportunity to use small patches of moss for emphasizing the scale of the rocks by impressions of grass and trees.

    Btw, what you’re calling ‘knitting mesh’ has nothing to do with knitting and the real name is ‘plastic canvas’. It is used to do needlepoint on.
    Are you going to add any fish?

    This is one of my favorite designs yet. I love the verticality of the rocks, and the contrast of the underwater and above water views of them, with the mist marking the change. I think it worked out really well to have almost all of the plants above water, further distinguishing the two different worlds.
