mantappp

[@edwinmuller4852]

Great work. Trying to do this myself (use corrugated plastic), but keep having leakage at the tube segment. Not sure what you do in the video, can you explain what the thingie is that you put on the tube?

[@latieplolo]

I always like the black/dark backgrounds, they make the plants and bright animals really pop.

[@k8ysk8]

The sheer amount of planning and research you must have had to go through before this became possible... Thank you so much for taking us on the journey with you!!

[@janaranerone2973]

Thank you so much for the materials list! I've watched several channels and have just been stumped trying to figure out how to find supplies.

[@evanryan2547]

This man is a genius. He engineered the heck out of this one!

[@jezackr3500]

It looks great, but with all the structure in place there doesn't seem to be much space left for the betta? When you add plants underwater he'll have even less space to swim.

[@Itow_san]

So true

[@TobyCreates]

Building an aquarium today, 5 gallon lowboy pond style...wish me luck! 🤞

[@RegisAquatics]

Good luck!

[@tymarv6400]

Good luck

[@SuperMeeker]

Toby Creates share a picture of the scape you made

[@TobyCreates]

SuperMeeker full scaping video coming out on my channel very soon!

[@nielsbohm4667]

Neee

[@kamirator9215]

Imagine the amount of satisfaction after doing this...

[@rainbowcupcakeish]

I watched everything so intently. You have such a talent for building things! I struggle to even visualise how to make things work, but going slow and steady on my first build 🤞🏼 thanks for the inspiration!!

[@jillsmit8238]

WOW 😳 Such articulate and beautiful natural art. I commend you, what an inspiration!!!

[@Thexxidoxx]

I see you got inspiration from Asu xD but your video is more in-depth in terms of showing the work process and being more descriptive about your equipment (I have been looking for days for the right plastic type to use until I found this video). Cheers man keep up the great work, and it really helped me :D

[@andreazarantonello2942]

Ci sono molti modi di fare arte, questo è uno di quelli!!! Complimenti!!!!

[@deagusm258]

The soul of beautiful and extraordinary natural art is very inspiring, you are very great

[@TheBushdakta]

Isn't that too small for a Beta? The setup looks gorgeous but shouldn't you put some shrimp instead or something else on it? The beauty of it is just for us, the fish doesn't care for the waterfalls.

[@yugiohwarduelist999]

Beautiful. Siamese Fighting Fish is also a nice touch. I'm hoping soon to build a Buddah Tank with all natural plants and rocks in it which will house a Siamese Fighting Fish in it too and a few Algae Eaters!

[@orielism]

You should have used black or charcoal coloured silicone for the rocks. But that's an amazing build buddy.

[@levinskki3825]

That‘s literally the exact aquarium I‘ve been dreaming of!!😍 Including the fish.

[@0f537]

You should put a frog in there, looked like a perfect habitat to me

[@dainah105]

But- it would just escape?

[@Thelastdan]

@@dainah105 why would a frog escape such a nice tank 😂

[@lottiep4]

Absolutely incredible work. I would love to do something like this. How do you filter? Do you integrate it into the design? How do you maintain your tanks once they're established? I would love to know!!

[@brittanycalderon7369]

Have you ever considered selling your custom tanks? I’m sure they are a labor of love, but they are so much cooler than anything I’ve ever seen!

[@amtravelsaus]

Great work.. perfect choice of rock and plants .. lucky little fellow he is in his new and beautiful home❣

[@EeshanKumar]

That involves a lot of geometry! Great video as always!!

[@RegisAquatics]

Thanks!!

[@kelvindelossantos7096]

Thank you for this video..i started making my paludarium and i use your video as my reference..thank for sharing..😊😊

[@GardenArcX]

I LOVE *TINY PLANTS* - THEY RE CUTE TO KEEP !

[@ran_b]

That's amazing! I've yet to see any build that surpasses that.

[@kamirator9215]

This is amazing.you even made your own tank.i love seeing people doing the thing that they really love.keep up the good work...

[@shaktishrestha9845]

Very nice setup, I might want to try, prolly I could replace the pump by external canister filter for filtration? Amazing setup though 👌🏼

[@HONEYDROPGALAXY]

Love this!! I wanna do one like this but have little underwater caves and ferns aswell

[@sujoysaha8542]

Excellent board work 👍👍

[@justanopinionsincerelynoof3860]

Oh i wish I came across this video two weeks ago! Then I would have learnt about corrugated plastic sheets which I could have used in the DIY table top waterfountain instead of cement! Nevertheless, I love your channel - super informative about materials and techniques!

[@SpicyYams]

Thanks for listing the materials!

[@Saunteringvaguely.downwards]

I love this but I have a few dumb questions lmao. -why do you put metal screening in some of structures? Are there any benefits placing them where they are and what do they do? -And is there any base layout we absolutely need when we build the structures? I’ve seen people just litter the entire background with the structures but they always seperstrd the back part of the tank from everything else. I’m sure I’ll have more and edit as I watch the rest of the video lol

[@Heatherlovesorhatesit]

Stunning!

[@hanhtay2924]

Omg love it so much. This is genius

[@thuydao8945]

Thank you for giving all the technique it needs to create my own Heaven 🙌🌷

Does the fish ever like jump out? I heard betta jump frequently

[@terminalspines]

Looks amazing! Are you planning to put any plants underwater in the future?

[@RegisAquatics]

Thanks! Yeah adding submerged plants soon!

[@KarinHer]

I really wish they’d sell kits to make these sorts of things

[@JaviChang]

Amazing job

[@max8159]

Beautiful work! What brand and type of expanding foam is it? Thank you.

[@andikawahyudi3353]

Wow amazing so wonderfull

[@clawger42]

Simple. yet Naturistic. 👏🏻😍

[@mandyvang5288]

I love it!

[@patricklankhorst5176]

Great setup! Do you need to water the plants that aren't in contact with the water?

[@BATMAN-lz9bt]

Wow... That was awesome!

[@AquaArtYT]

Very aesthetic.. Gonna make one like this

[@ianveloso5878]

i love the setup. it's really sooooo cool!

[@jenniferhall3334]

I think that your waterfall and your mini forest are something Amazing, so beautiful and relaxfull to watch.. if u make asmr videos of all your acquarium u will have a very popular channel. People would love waterfall asmr ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ i ll be the First subscribers if u will do it 😃

[@marlenelrx]

Amazing job !! Looks also like you do love silicon 😂. How many tubes have you used to make this great betta tank ? 😁

[@arjunoao7660]

Superb immersive I will like you 👍

[@waewtaartpongsa]

this is what I need

[@karuniaputra8945]

Dindaaaaaaaaaa

[@marlisroth4269]

nice ...

[@modoruseki]

This guy must be sponsored by silicon.

[@MichaelMassimino]

So there's no actual filtration in this tank? Do the plants keep everything in balance?

[@voz5585]

He’s using that white external filter canister on the right side of the tank.

[@Sunnycute0304]

perfect picture !~!!

[@milestogo8451]

Great job! Sorry, I had to watch with the sound muted- not a criticism, just a comment, thanks.

[@princedesnare4373]

chill music what’s the problem?

[@asalkomenaja8458]

Love it..so basically there are only pump for waterfall and no filter right?

[@ineedadab]

The plants and moss act as a biological filter, so really no need to.

[@RegisAquatics]

That’s correct!

[@asalkomenaja8458]

Thank you so much...very helpful

[@angercairns5945]

So beautiful! Did you put a heater in? If so, where?

[@trojanhorse3290]

Stunning 😍

[@natashaveganov8r]

WOW ))))...

[@headfangs]

Am I right that you put the front and back panes of glass against the side of the base piece, and then put the side pieces on top of the base piece? looking to build a paludarium myself!

[@jeremynicole8205]

Fantastic build! I have a quick question and I apologize if it's already been asked but I didn't see it anywhere. What pump did you use for the waterfalls?

[@eileenmcdonald3162]

Check the description box

[@jeremynicole8205]

@@eileenmcdonald3162 I looked there before posting, the pump is not listed.

[@triplex7144]

Hi mate. What makes you decide wether to go rock or expanded fowm hard scape? Looks like the foam would be far easier and cheaper. Love your work

[@dsd-downshiftdave8056]

Is something like this safe to house Poison dart frogs or a snake with all the silicone that was used?

[@jpaquarios541]

A lot of work but the result is great. Well done, I like at all. Cheers

[@RegisAquatics]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@critterchamber]

Am I the only one who enjoyed that drumbeat in the music

[@voz5585]

Too cool

[@jennyc5631]

um wow i realize my aquarium needs an upgrade

[@mr.breeze7907]

Curious how you manage the water quality and temp. for your Betta?

[@gavinfreeman3539]

The waterfalls seem to be run by a filter and depending on temp of their room, no heater is required

[@a_anchous]

Очень красиво

[@ЮлияТ-щ9о]

Beautiful paludarium! 😊 RUSSIAN LIKE! 👍

[@Why-qh8xl]

Wow!

[@chonnytok]

are you using glass to build the tank?

[@corydaddydoras]

How has the siliconed plastic and plastic to glass held up over time?? I want to do something similar.

[@WorldAquariumSingapore]

cool waterfall there and i like the diy part as well how long will need to let the glue settle down?

[@kelly___lopez]

Silicone dries to touch in about a day and takes about a week to fully cure

[@stevenhogan8964]

Love it you gave me some great ideas

Hi, should i let the filter floss soak in the water or leave it above the water? Thanks!
