Terrarium with a working waterfall

Waterfall inside a jar (making a Paludarium style terrarium in a jar with a working waterfall)
In this video I have attempted to created a rocky mountain cliff scene with a working waterfall. I used a 3000ml glass container for this project. I drilled a hole on the glass for passing through the electric wire of the submersible pump that I am using to create the waterfall. a hardscape was created using Seiryu stones joined together with Silicone and superglue. A water test was done at this point ensure everything is working as planned. The pump was secured with aquarium filter floss and sponge so that dust and debris would not get in. (The sponge will also provide support to the rock hardscape).Next soaked Sphagnum moss was filled between the cracks of the rocks on which live sheet moss was planted. Gravel and some rocks were added in the foreground. Water was then added and the pump switched on. Next I proceeded with planting using aquatic plants like Anubias and Hydrocotyle. Selaginella was also added later. Aquatic Christmas Moss was added along the pathway of the waterfall to soften the flow of water. Finally some detailing wood were added to the scape to lift up the scene and a small piece of rock added at the top to hide the outlet pipe of the waterfall.

The celebration of colours, the ambient sounds, the mystic scent and the fascinating wildlife that make up the forestlands and waterbodies of our earth is the elixir of his life.
The urban nemophilist attempts to capture all of this through his green art and sustainable gardening activities while his sketching and music sets up the mood for what is nature-appreciation at its best.
His goal is to create awareness on conservation of nature and wildlife through is art and sustainable initiatives.

I’m enjoying watching what you’re doing with this terrarium, but also want to thank you for that music! And thank you for including the name and composer, as well. I play piano and I want to get it. 💜

[@vinitamorrison3308]

It is simply magical! I have been waiting for this video for a long time. Thanks for making it! Your editing makes it look so easy. I might try it. To me, once you bring out those long tweezers, the magic begins. I love the roots of the floaters in the foreground. The different shades of green are very pleasing to the eye, and the gentle trickle of the water is very relaxing. It must be much more wonderful to sit next to it and hear it. Best wishes! You are on the road to a million subscribers and more(soon).

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you so much. Good luck with your build.

[@michaels5705]

Your hands are magical! The seiryu stone looks perfect for that build, and your construction with it leaves it so it looks as if it was grown in the bottle (which in a sense it was). What is the source of your little branchlets? Thanks for the clip.

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you. I buy these branches from a local aquascaping store. They are sold as detailing wood. I think these are coconut palm roots.

[@dlazzy3308]

Awesome build! Nice composition 😊
Any guidelines for maintenance like water changing or anything else?

Thank you. Yes some maintenance like water changes and cleaning the glass would be necessary.

This is beautiful! Curious if you floater thrive with no nutrient soils? Also where do you think I can find these detail tree branch for cheap? I’m in United States and I can only find expensive big spider wood for 15 bucks. Don’t want to pickup twig from wild as it may rot

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks. You have to use liquid ferts. You can look out for detailing wood in aquascaping stores near you.

I've made 3 similar to this one - all have the same problem after a while (9+ months) - Algae! I did regular maintenance and still the algae hit. Not sure how to tackle this

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Alage is part of an ecosystem. Mostly caused by high quantities of unused nutrients, bright lighting and rising temperatures. Controlling these and regular maintenance is key.

Dry moss instead of soil will save?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

You can’t use soil here because it will be washed away by water. Soaked moss works well.

Can be accessed from the back. Its built that way as you can see in the video. Thanks
