    THE BEST build video I've seen, ever. Short, concise instructions, no rambling about your day, great equipment and setup for success. The air duct idea is genius. I have PC fans as well, but I've never used a duct like that!

    I saw your first video and was inspired to make a vivarium. It’s been running for a month and I have three poison dart frogs coming to inhabit it. I’ve seen on Reddit and other forums, dozens of people who have been inspired by your videos and want to make paludariums (with the shrimp and the crabs and everything). It’s become a kind of a meme; it’s known as “the video” (that got everyone into vivariums). Keep going! You’re super talented and I can’t wait to see what you make.

    To all the people complaining about established titles consider the fact that this video was made a month ago and the sponsorship was most likely set even earlier. They had not been publicly exposed as of the release nor the 2 months put into making the paludarium itself.
    Take a few moments to look at upload times before freaking out over things.

      @@jamesmcgraw176 Of course, it will come out cheaper, but you need to study many nuances on your own, watch videos, ask on the forums. For example, a homemade lamp for 20,000 lumens, 98 cri with dimming cost me about $ 150. I like this process, you learn a lot of new things. And I also like gradual assembly, because. I can't afford to buy everything at once.
