DIY Dragonstone Dripwall. (Easy to make paludarium project)

[@FishShopMatt]

What kind of mini projects would you like to see me take on? I love this kind of project because no matter what space you have or budget you can have some fun and create something like this!

[@ZebMeierWatz]

Do more like this please. Try making some Wabi-Kusa in som DOOA glass 👍

[@IgorEngelen1974]

Brilliant. Can't wait for more of these small and cheap projects.

Lol nature's Hammer 🤣 I haven't tried them, but some use a magnetic charging pump that can be used in closed terrarium/aquariums without needing to add a place for wire.

[@FishShopMatt]

Oooooo I will look those pumps up. I feel like nature's hammer may need to be a t shirt design

looks good man! i think you would have benefited from a couple floating plants, too

I totally agree with taking the glass top off of that jar, it looked so much better standing free of the top glass. Cant wait to see what Matt does with the other half of that jar 😍🥰😍

[@FishShopMatt]

Thanks so much! 😊 Yeah I've got to come up with some plans!

Thank you! This is just the stuff I do and it's great I've got so many of you coming along for the ride.

Love the Serpa-inspired build! Thanks for doing an build with materials that are readily obtainable, rather than components not available in my country. Matt your vids are very inspiring and laid-back at the same time.

[@FishShopMatt]

Glad you like it! It makes it all worthwhile hearing comments like this.

We all love Tanner and his stuff like this but what I LOVE about your one is, it's actually something I'd try. Tanners are amazing but always to complex if you get what I mean 🤔 Would love to see you do more of these.

I'm so glad I could help. I look forward to hearing or seeing how yours do!

[@Jen-w1i]

This is beautiful!! I love how it's so small but has so much character. Most times, I listen to KZbin on 1.25 speed, but I listen to you on normal because it's quite calming to listen to you. I'm glad that you started doing the videos and are doing well here.

Great result Matt, thinking outside the square. Achievable for everyone. Maybe a couple of shrimp ?

That's exactly what I want to hear! This one is possibly too small but the next few I have planned won't be.

[@Marie_Danielle]

Me too, I first thought "It is impossible to do something nice in this", yet I was proven wrong. Thinking outside the box is great, but this is thinking inside the box and even greater!

[@gemmacorinne9487]

This was very fun, my first two scapes were in glass vase/jars, with a few shrimp in, I’ve upgraded them now, but they were great fun

[@FishShopMatt]

That is awesome! They're great fun just to have a bit of a play with.

Very cool Matt, from South Africa

[@FishShopMatt]

Thank you!

[@wirtification]

When I made my DIY water feature, I used a bit of black filter foam with an elastic around the pump to block the intake. Though i used gravel to build up so the birds could have a comfortable bottom to stand on so it wasnt too deep, it was a size that wouldn'tgunk up the intake. It's working very well. Ahhh, the 1st hammer of man, a rock! Lol idk how many times I've said "where's my hammer?!?!" when i was outside in the garden needing it to pound stakes in the ground or staples to hold string, eventually I just had a good rock i found in the rock pile and use that amd make sure it's in a spot I know where to find it. 😅 Well done, Matt, it's beautiful 🎉

[@FishShopMatt]

Thank you! I'm with you on that, I always seem to find a piece of hardscape before a hammer hahaha. Loving the idea to block the intake!

Love a good serpa video🟢,great way to use that pasta container and you can't go wrong with a mini water fall so relaxing / or annoying 😅 depending on how you feel about water falling, great video matt 🎉

[@FishShopMatt]

Amen!!! Yeah that's why I turned the pump down so it was dripping rather than flowing.

[@jodimaree7640]

You had me actually yelling at you when you placed the rock next to the top of the jar!! Dude seriously 😂😂

[@FishShopMatt]

Hahaha sorry I like to keep you all on your toes!

[@thehairywoodsman5644]

it looks very cool ! you should put a couple baby oscars in it. its a well known fact fish only grow as large as the container they're are housed in...so it'll be fine.

[@FishShopMatt]

Perfect, I quite liked the idea of a stingray though!

[@curvingfyre6810]

Look into hurricane lamps. Mushroom style ones specifically. It's a glass insert meant to sit over a candleholder, so you can have a candle lit in the wind. They're open at the bottom with a little chimney like structure, *and* the top with a normal vase like shape to let in fresh air for the candle, and the mushroom style ones have a big open space in the center. If you find one who's open bottom fits snugly inside a glass jar, you can start *stacking* containers, into a single enclosure. You can retain substrate by just cutting down plastic drinking cups and dropping them into the hole in the center. I've made paludariums this way before, with water in the bottom jar, and land in the hurricane lamp. It's a fun way to showcase both environments, cause each container will frame it's respective biome in a unique way.

[@kaitlyn888]

Omg!!!!!!!! It may be cheap to make the set up, but the light cost more than a bloody aquarium does that’s crazy for a tiny little light holy crap

[@ZebMeierWatz]

You seriously need a better working space to build. I was so stressed out waiting for you to knock the glassware on the floor 😅 great build btw 👍

[@FishShopMatt]

Hahahaha it's creating tension for the viewer! The bigger space is slowly coming together!

[@aronro1291]

I sorta agree. I almost want to draw you up an idea for a (automotive) hydraulic elevating cart that slides into a scaping workspace to make your life easier for your garage builds. Scape and transport from the same table, then you can set to the hight of the stand and push it on, making your life alot easier and you wont have to lift and break your back

[@gemmacorinne9487]

I disagree, it’s more realistic to what most people have space wise to work with, especially for people doing smaller scapes etc like this one

[@Cozy-1049]

Sent you an email with a picture of my little 2lt olive jar turned into a shrimp bowl. 5 weeks on and it's still doing great and happy shrimp.

[@FishShopMatt]

That's awesome I'll have a look for it! 💜💜💜

[@Aftek]

it looks lovely ( really ), it's only missing an arowana in there xD otherwise.. what's up with the schefflera tank next to it ? looking forward an update on this one.. looks like the plant is alive but not thriving as much as I thought it would ..

[@FishShopMatt]

Hahaha I've got plans for a stingray! The tree is doing well, it's not put much effort into leaves but has put tons of effort into the roots! I had to remove a load of roots from the filter pump the other day because they had grown through the cage.

[@BrickieBuilder]

Oh where do I get those jars in UK

[@FishShopMatt]

I unfortunately found mine in a charity shop but I expect if you search for hexagon pasta jar you maybe able to find something similar

[@jessicamanchenton2503]

This is amazing! I'm curious how you control flow on the waterfall so it's not running crazy strong? Is that a feature of the pump?

[@Matthew.Henley]

Definitely looks better without the top. I’m guessing not, but any room for a couple of shrimp 🦐?

[@FishShopMatt]

I agree! Not much space but I may have just picked up a trifle bowl that has space hahaha.

[@Steve_RobbieRaygun]

Matt, could you tell me what are the two tanks behind you at 0.30?

From left to right scaper cube 60 build video on the channel (chilli cube) middle is a scraper 90 that build video is Habistax tank. Lastly on the right is the oase scaperline 60 with ai prime light (woodland riverbank video). The other two tanks are just ran as standard with the kit they came with.
