- in this video I made a easy maintenance, forest style terrarium rain garden in a glass tank.
the main concept of this project is to bring nature home in smaller scales.
having such miniature landscapes not only add beauty to your living scapes, also the visual effects like natural light or FLOWING water, help reduces stress levels and improve moods.
Dimensions of tank is L×34 W×34 H×47 cm

A dreamy little rain forest in a glass box! I love it!
Thanks
I was captivated by your last rain tank. But this one is mesmerizing! I hope those ferns survive, they are so beautiful!
Thank you, ferns are growing beautifully and healthy
@@langdiywich ferns are they? Looks like polystichum acuelatum from the leaves, but the rotting is differently
The ambient music, creative skills, the sound of dripping water and the green scenery combined to make something so peaceful to watch. Well done 🎉✨
It's so relaxing to watch. Feels like I'm inside the forest.
Interesting. I see you upgraded your design, much better this way. I think I would use thicker aquarium foam and mesh in front of the pump chimney (like biotope gallery) because I think clogging might become an issue like this. On top I would make less small holes and one bigger hole so I could create a waterfall beneath the big hole with some stones and wood. Nice inspiration, thank you :)
Very atmospheric! I just have rain outside the window.
Your videos inspired me to make a rain terrarium a couple of months ago. It's nowhere near as elegant or professional as you, but it showcases my nepenthes beautifully, with some spider plants, moss, branches and a random slug that showed up to complete a jungle feel. I named the slug Slim, and he has been quite happy in his new home :)
Thank you for your time and dedication that inspires me to be creative ❤️
How do you make sure the pump and the drip system work at the same rate? I guess it would overflow otherwise, or the drip would be inconsistent. It's so beautiful!
This was so satisfying to watch... im so relaxed..
Incrível! Adorei,ficou lindo !
Thanks
Очень красиво,восхищаюсь❤

Mesmerising and stunned while watching this video. Thanks brother showing such a great idea and piece of nature. Keep it up.
Thanks
WOW! THANKS FOR SHARING DEATILS. THIS IS THE WAY TO EDUCATE NOVICE.
Thank you
That looks so beautiful. Such a talent and skill 👏👏
Thanks
Super job ! Great...
That's really pretty
my cat was mesmerized by this video!! (and me too!!)
우와!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
진짜 멋있다~!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks
Very satisfying
That's really cool!
So awesome
beautiful
thats completely waooo
Thanks
I made myself a similar rainforest inspired by you and it’s amazing but this time apart from other developments in pump set up which is good I believe it became too much artificial like using plastics and what should I say not natural anymore. You an awesome artist you inspire me always but I felt it in this video.
Очень красиво и очень реалистично
Thank you
Ohhh u have upgraded this than previous one... New things.... Like it
Thanks
Specially that filter thing now we can easily remove or replace it in case of failure without disturbing the scape
You deserve more subscribers 👍🏽💯
Your help is invaluable, i hope it is okay if i ask you a few more questions? How did you get the moss to stick on the walls, superglue? And do you have any tips for getting the rain drops to fall more randomly? Mine has drops falling in sync, like you can see the pattern of the drip tray when the water drops fall. Also, does the top lid provide space as well for aeration, or is it a complete fit to keep water in?
Love this
Thanks
Wow this is so cool ill definitely try to make it one day 🌱
Thanks
Beautiful ❤️
Thanks
Highly motivating 👏👏
this would be great for breeding tree frogs (they breed in rain stimulations)
I love the new set up! My friend and i are recreating your first onem two questions: what kind of water do you use? And why did you use the honeycomb cells for the walls and floor? I love the udea, just curious as to why you did it.
Thank you
Rain water Or Ro water
Honeycomb cell helps soil mixture from falling off, also using it as a drainage layer instead of rocks makes the setup lightweight.
I really will try to build this. Moving and rain has a nice sound.
Question how do you keep the mild and fungi out. Other people add spingtails, but I don't want to use any animals in my tank.
I simply remove dead plants to keep fungi out
Stunning! I have a question. What is this black soil? Is it top soil? I am from the US so I'm not sure if it is a term from another region
Beautiful!! Are those rain drop sounds coming from the terrarium itself? Just wondering if they were added for effect. So stunning!
Thanks.
Yes rain drops sounds is coming from the terrarium itself.
Nice, congrats! Eager to see the +2 months and +6 months evolution of this one! Where to find the black plastic trays used for the floor and the sides? Thks!
Thankyou, I'll post an update video after few months.
You can find it on gardening shops, and online marketplaces
I finished my tank as you inspired me a lot ! But now I do have man flies in the tank. Do you have any recommendations how to get rid of them ? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Really nice job, you inspared me to do one
Can you give some advice on the maintanance please?
Also, more or less what is the space between holes for the rain and how much milimeters they have?
Thank you!
Thank you.
Change water and Clean the pump once every two months, Remove dead plants. 1 inch of gap and size of holes is 1.5mm
@@langdiy
What a beautiful creation! I really love this terrarium it makes me feel so relaxing just to look at it.
However I wonder what is that clay made of? Thks
Thank you.
That clay thing is a substrate mixture of black soil compost and cocopeat
Thank you for sharing just wondering what are the proportion of the substrate + black soil + coco peat as it looks more brownish than black.
@@ishakismail5053in the video it is mentioned 60% cocopeat 20% compost 20% black soil
Hi amazing im just wondering can the water be cold as im in the uk thanks
@langdiy it vey soothing.. ❤❤.. May i ask what is the variety of plant you have use.. For moss can i use normal aquatic moss?
Thank you.
I used rabbits foot ferns. Yes you can use normal aquatic moss
Awesome work! Awesome idea with the drain cell! Can I ask you where you bought the drain cell?
Thank you!
I bought it from gardening store
I love ittttttt
Thanks
Great job. I will try to make one.
Could you tell me a technical/chemical/chientific name for acrilic sheets you use? I coudn't find such in my country, obviously on our market a diferent name is used. And also the liquid glue type and name/brand. Thank you in advance!
👏👏👏👏👏
amazing job indeed...so inspiring. Can you please reveal the proportion for the mix you placed on the walls ??'
Cocopeat 60% black soil and compost 40%
@@langdiy appreciate it
I really like it but i have a question,can i use the draincell 30mm?. Hope you answer it.Thanks
Yes you can use
@@langdiy thanks,have a nice day
@@langdiy but will it affect the layout or sth?
Nice work! But how do U prevent the drip tray of falling down? is there any acrylic glued on the front glass corner?
Drip tray sits on the drain cell, piece of drain cell is glued on the front glass corner
can fittonia grow wihtout substrate , can i grow them only on java moss? in this setup
Hi! Is there a substitute for black soil? Is amazonian aqua-soil that is used in aquariums the same thing is the aquasoil u mentioned? Hope you reply to this...
Hello, it is very beautiful, may I ask what kind of moss you are attaching to the branches? Also, do you have the lights on all the time? :)
Thank you, i used Entodon seductrix moss.
I keep the light on for about 7 or 8 hours a day.
Very nice project. i can imagine myself sitting by the terrarium. may i ask what kind of water are you using for this project. I think tap would make a mess. Is it rain water, Distilled water, or RO water?
Thanks.
I used spring water.
Rain water is best for such project
Does anyone know where to look for those drainage cell mats he used in Canada? This is such a beautiful setup!
Reminds me of certain materials I've seen at home depot, might be worth a shot at your local big-box stores
Which tray u used for holding sand
14:00: Thank you for sharing
hello, instead of using drain cells can we just make a tray out of acrylic sheet , put some soil mix you showed and stick it to the walls of the terrarium and then plant plants in it?
I've been looking everywhere for plain tanks like the ones u use but cant seem to find any where can I find one?
I thibk this wont last long. Water will wash out the Substrate. But beautiful designed.
How to make steady the acrylic on the top? I cant see There is a seat for acrylic on the front side
have u watching mugen wong?
terarium rain too.
but he don't use wall bracket like that. just soil
can i used coco fiber instead of coco peat? also what is compost soil made of? Thanks I am very interested in your videos!
Thanks, Yes u can use cocofiber. It's organic compost
Its amazing
How often and for how long do you run the rain for or is it ok to run as much as you like?
I connected the pump on a timer, it rains for 1 hour a day every evening. It should not run more than 6 hours a day.
What if something happens there? Insects for example. What to do with them? How airtight is it?
The fern were grown from leaves ?
Please educate me.
Hey There,
where did you get the drainage cells?
Have you considered using a sprinkler nozzle instead of the acrylic with holes?
I've tried, and it wasn't very suitable for a rain garden purpose
Hey is cocopeat just coco natural coir or something else?
What kind of maintenance is required for a paludarium like this?
wouldn't the ferns die if it's always wet?
I will make one and keep it in my room. I will have AC on, do you think it will be an issue or since I do not have animal I don’t need to keep it humid?
It'll be fine, try not to keep it too close to your AC vents. These are moisture loving plants, You have to keep it humid, leave the pump on for atleast 5 mins a day.
How long it can sustain in indoor with out sun light..?
Do you sell plant bundle like these plants shown here? And the rocks.. ect, the things needed for this build.? I would love to make my own beautiful rain forest..
Not selling currently
What is that green mesh metal net you used called?
how often do you turn on the terrarium?
I really dig your vids... and I'm not even into terrariums. It's like ASRM. Nice music, no talking... easy to watch. Now, not to be a douche, but I would avoid using a soldering iron to melt plastics... it's not good to breathe that stuff.
Thank you for the beautiful project ! How do you cut the acrylic sheet ???
Thank you
I use acrylic sheet cutter
@@langdiy Dear Lang , I bought 3mm acrylic sheet (plexiglass) and is strong like a diamond . I tried with simple cutter , with knives and nothing . Last option was rotary equipment from the office ( I am a dentist ) . But with the dental turbine i can not give complete straight line as if i used a ruler for example … I think you use 2 mm not 3 .
Anyways , thank you again !
Try glass cutter, score a line, then snap it.
where can i get this size glass tank
Love this, subbed! What's the flow rate of the pump set to?
Thanks, flow rate is 300 ltr per hour
Great thanks!
Do you have any solution for the water deteriorating the compost/soil mix and ending up in the reservoir for the pump? As of right now for me I am dealing with slightly dirty water being pumped & raining, which I’m sure is not good for the health of the pump itself
Try changing the water. Make sure water drops won't falls directly on the soil mix.
Hi, I'm using a Washable Cloth for Fish Tank filters around the pump, it's working very nice.
How did you cut the narrow acryglas edges for the drip tray ? With me it always breaks 😢
I score multiple times using flexi glass cutter to cut easily
can you please tell me what exactly is the black soil is it just earthworm casting?s and where i can find it?
very nice. what's the drill bit size for drilling rain holes ?
1.5mm
@@langdiydo you think 3 mm would also work ?
How much would you charge if you’d sell it?
Can i use regular soile?
Yes
How many hours per day the rain running?
Not more than 7 hours a day
How do you control the pump not being burned down while the water level is dropping?
I maintain the water level. I add more water When level drops. Pump will make a weird sound when water levels dropping
I don't know what is black soil... Can I use something else ?
Show the drip tray in action.
Ok
How many hours a day should the pump running?
Not more than 7 hours a day
Hi is the tanjs you used a fish tank or something else
How strong is the pump you used ? How many watt ? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I used 9 watt pump. it lifts upto 80 CM high, and pumps about 250 ltr an hour.
Hi, may i ask where did you get your tanks from?
I think he builds them himself
I bought pieces of glass from glass store and glued it using silicone
How much ?
can we use kitchen spomge instead of filter wool please tell
Yes you can use kitchen sponge
For what is the filter floss between the Akadama soil and the ground ?
To filter water and trap small debris
@@langdiy thank you a lot for all the Tipps !
What 0lants and moss have you used
Rabbit's foot ferns, java moss, entodon Seductrix and hypnum moss
