Thanks for watching ! Let me know if you have any tips on how I can improve my videos.
You could have taken a piece of glass and patched the bottom of the tank.
You can put inside more plants for ricreate a piace of forest .. also create a small waterfall for riproduce a piece of wood. A lot of fern or other plants . I love a lot put inside a number of insects or arthropods. Piece of food like strawberry or other...
Add amphipods to your pond, maybe another small invertebrate like daphnia or tisbe
this was a perfect video
put some crabs in this terrarium crabs eat millipedes
As someone who primarily listens to videos on CZcams, I think your shift from text-based to voice-based videos was a good choice.
I like the voiceover. You have a very soothing sounding voice.
Nice, good to know !😅
@@HomemadeEcosystems how much was the terrarium and where did you get it?
@@michalzdunski No clue I'm sorry, it was an old aquarium that was sitting in my basement for years. If you want a cheap terrarium you could look up 2nd hand aquariums online
@@HomemadeEcosystems Ok thank you for the help.I will look now
@@HomemadeEcosystems I was just wondering how big a good bioactive mini ecosystem should be in your opinion
I've watched quite a few of your videos now and I always prefer your voiceovers. You have a fun sense of humor that works well in the video. Love it and good luck!
Thanks, good to know!
Just found this channel through another video, but I agree--The voiceovers are lowkey really funny and are what sold me on the channel!
@@tristikov.
@@tristikov This aged well.
After binge watching your entire catalog in 2 days (I’m a busy gal) the voice overs! Love them! I haven’t laughed this much or this hard for the longest time!
I appreciate the voiceover. Also paludarium went really well.
Great! And thank you for the idea to include the pond!
👍

Ya
i always come here to watch my favorite terrarium video
Thank you. Your terrarium looks much better than the one I once made, and mine was not "free" because I purchased terrarium plants. Moss is hard to come by in Central Texas, so I didn't have any. But I also made a little pond using a whiskey glass. When I was done, I talked to myself and said, 'Now, what I need is a lizard." My cat brought me a lizard, the perfect terrarium lizard in fact, Plestiodon fasciatus, the common North American five-lined skink. That lizard drowned in the pond. My cat noticed as I removed the body and put it in the trash. I filled the pond with rocks almost to the top. The cat, smarter than me, brought me another lizard. That one lived for years.
Glad to see you incorporated voiceovers! The videos flow much more smooth with them, as we can appreciate the visuals of your terrarium and life more without having to read text.
Yes voiceovers! Cute build. Love ur gentleness w/ the creatures. 🐛
Beneath the goofiness, he's actually really good at making terrariums. Keep at it dude, I'm curious to see what you do later on
Thank you!
You could fix the bottom by first cleaning well. Place tape over the cracks Turn the tank over bottom side up, you can use aluminum tape to create a well and to seal the sides so you don't have this running down the sides If in doubt use silicone caulk to seal the tape. mix and pour Clear resin on the bottom of the tank. Wait 48 hours to cure and harden. Your tank should be good as new, even better it should have a nice thick surface to sit on. Make sure you test it to make sure it doesn't leak, just in case you didn't pour the resin thick enough. If it leaks , repeat the process.
Thank you ! that would have been better! I will keep this in mind when I get another fixer upper !
We love the voiceovers
Glad you stayed with voice (and later reduced trap)
I love to see how far your channel has evolved, surely like many of your ecosystems
My daughter found a 4 inch elephant hawk moth caterpillar in our garden last week, so I decided to rehome it in a glass jar with some moss, stick and leaves. After 1 day it decided to bury itself in the moss and overwinter. So now I guess I'm stuck with this jar in the kitchen until it hatches into a big moth in May.
Those are cool! Put it in a cold spot so it knows when it is time to emerge again 😁
I just need this type of content.
keep up the good work man!
Thank you! Glad you like it !
Love your videos man. Much prefer the voice over ones.
I found your channel a few days ago and have been busily bingeing every video on your channel. Of course I am also subbed. This terrarium is lovely. And while this is a nice voiceover, I love it in your later videos when you are joking. You had me laughing my ass off. Love your channel! ❤😂
Thank you!! Glad you like it 😁
THIS IS SO COOL, I want to build a terrarium like this!
Just try it! It is easy
you chose a great microphone, and / or your audio editing is on point.
sick terrarium, was thinking of doing something similar just too lazy to make the space for a large enough 'rarium. maybe i'll just set something like this up in the backyard, just dig it into the ground a little, free access to critters to escape, under the shade of the vegitables. take it with me when the lease expires ;)
Definitely the voice-over
i love seeing them explore their new home, they look so funny! ❤️
THIS IS SO INTERESTING I want to have a terrarium just like yours!!!
Thank you! You should make one, it is easy!
I read the comments to see of anybody knew the plant species. But I liked all the comments even tho I still don't know the plant species. I just found your videos. Very nice. I'm a new sub and liked all I've seen so far. Keep up the great content.
Thank you and welcome to the channel! I'll try to identify the plants in the next ecosystems I make !
@@HomemadeEcosystems no pressure lol. Love the work as is.
I watched a couple of your future videos and really like your dry wit. I have just watched through from your first video and finally here it is, the video where you find your voice. I'm looking forward to watching the rest and seeing your confidence develop. Well done young man.
Thanks! glad you like it!
Keep the voice, sounds good!
Thank you!
Voice overs by far the better option for you
Voiceover is great on your videos :)
It sounds like the voiceover is on-beat. The consonants line up so well with it xD
Aw! That little safety-branch! :)
Voice over is much better. Great video!
Thank you!!
i have a terrarium with a pond that is some how at the same level yet not having anything blocking it from the substrate, it’s survived for 3 years now
I’ve been working on a paludarium for a week and it’s for my baby box turtles. I put a waterfall and stream in it. This is beautiful and I do like your voiceover.
Thank you and sounds like you will have some happy turtles!
@@HomemadeEcosystems having some issues with water wicking over the edge of the stream into the land areas. Not sure how to solve that. Working on it. I guess this is part of the hobby-problem solving.
I know I'm late but I just found you. I agree voice over is nice. I also like the captions because I'm hard of hearing. So, both?
If I got time I will do both in next videos!
Nice!
Thanks!
i made a 100 Gallon Tank into a terrarium with plants that were at my grandmas place, i split the tank into 2 different areas, a pond and a landmass. i used tapwater for the pond and well.. 7 days after i put the tap water in i found living organisms that came from the tap water. i put one slug in the tank, isopods, springtails and centipedes into the tank. and the population of slugs is over 100. lets just say that you know how to manage things better than me 😅
I love these kind of videos!
Glad you like them!
An Ant colony whould be cool in there, like myrmica rubra or so. I have a similar terrarium, and the Ants fit just perfectly in there.
I'm about to order an ant colony but probably going to put them in a seperate (smaller) terrarium first. But if the colony grows I might move them in to this bigger one!
Unfortunately ants will find a way to escape from a small area if they are not confined in an ant-proof enclosure. You need something made especially for ants, and an old aquarium won't work. I know, because I tried it, and the colony of ants, having grown larger, executed a mass escape in the middle of the night and took up residence in my computer printer...
if you close seal the terrarium, will it be able to self sustain?
Yes it would but it wouldn't stay as 'fresh' and the pond might dry out because the water would evaporate and "rain" back down in other places in the terrarium
@@HomemadeEcosystems got it. cheers!
whoa
You should add sea monkeys in the pond ❤
Man, your mom is gonna flip out when she finds out where her dish is😅
at 4:46 i also saw a springtail or ant at the left
2:30 not sure but looks like a carpinus betulus which is a tree
2:25 i know.
a leaf
Definitief spraak met jouw humor!
bruh ur video and voice is so satisfy, but maybe next time u can add some original sounds, cheers mate
Thanks man! I find it hard to decide if the videos would be better without or with less music so any feedback is welcome! Will try to add some original sounds next video
Found this content because i was bored, staying because funny
Any updates on this terrarium?
czcams.com/video/zGJlvrOJPMQ/video.html this video is about ants but you can see the terrarium in it. It changed A LOT
Next time you make a Terrium add a Big animal or predator for a proper ecosystem
There are centipedes in there. That are the predators
3:20 - 3:35 anyone see the wriggling thing/worm or small white bugs?
those are springtails
Me knowing how I won't be able to do any of this since I live in a desert
You can make a desert ecosystem!
@@HomemadeEcosystems But how?
@@HomemadeEcosystems Can you make a vid if you can't I understand
@@4dogsandatortoise I will mske one but in until then, dr plants has a very good video about a desert ecosystem
@@HomemadeEcosystems Thank you so much😃
I have put other plants and less moss .
That is cool, as long as you like it!
😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
Who else saw the worm while he was putting soil👀
I hope you stick with the voice overs!
I've enjoyed a bunch of your videos now, but you barely made 1 joke in this one & sound a bit somber, too, which led me to wonder if you were going through a bad time or something back then. I hope not, & I hope that all is well now. Please be silly again :) .
No, don't worry. This was just my first video with a voice over and I was not sure people would like my jokes yet 😅After this videos I was putting in more and more
But thank you for checking in on me!
Your jokes are funny, but it's your deadpan delivery that nails it! :D Keep up the good work! :D
@@HomemadeEcosystems
how is this free because u have to pay for the tank and bowl for the pond
because the tank was an old cracked aquarium someone was throwing out and the bowl I had lying around. You can also use a plastic bowl for the pond
I found your channel a few days ago and have been busily bingeing every video on your channel. Of course I am also subbed. This terrarium is lovely. And while this is a nice voiceover, I love it in your later videos when you are joking. You had me laughing my ass off. Love your channel! ❤😂
I know, right?? :D
