DIY Paludarium with Foggy Waterfall

[@SerpaDesign]

I hope you all enjoyed this one - just a quick Saturday project! I can't wait to show you some of the other things I'm working on as well. I've been keeping busy and doing A LOT behind the scenes. More on that in the future though. Anyway I hope all of you are doing well! 🐸

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Did you ever think to put in creatures such as a small frog?

[@danzopff8100]

As always I enjoy all your videos I really look forward to Saturdays just to see them. You have really inspired me a lot. I just wish I had your talent LOL

[@oliviadohrmann85]

I love your videos , my mom and I have been growing plants and making terrariums. THANK YOU TANNER

[@haroldmorales474]

SerpaDesign you are awesome!! Your knowledge is on point 😃 do you ship boxes with mix moss?

[@samwell54]

i wouldnt mind seeing more projects with the fog/mist maker

[@laurensonguzman2999]

Me too

[@brookeowings3510]

same i love the mist aesthetic

[@tristanleport3580]

Fog makes already awesome looking designs look even more awesome.

[@henrybarber9758]

It’s insane how he takes every texture into consideration

[@Jartopia]

You can tell he loves his craft because every little detail is perfected

[@Karen-de3gs]

When all this is over it would be awesome to get a video about where you normally get all your plants/woods/rocks. The variety of materials you always have is awesome to see.

[@thomasschellenberg3818]

So true, lol

[@megaparsec7910]

Aaron Sadowski they are only weeds if they are unwanted 😌

[@Kischme71]

Right? I have 4 kinds of miss I collected and 3 plants I just bought, none as cool as his

[@liamsadventures3717]

That is everything I use lol

[@Sylkis89]

When my wife found out I watch SerpaDesign she bought me a tiny terrarium kit for Bday. It has some hardscape elements, false bottom elements and some soil. Nuff said I planted it with whatever I could find in the park and streets nearby :D some random weeds and moss. And later on a random bit of grass started growing as well, unexpectedly :D And I bought some springtails and isopods for it.

[@Jartopia]

You really love your craft and it shines through in everything you make.

[@spheniscusdemersus]

I love your videos!

[@JordanBeagle]

My two favourite Terrarium KZbinrs! We just need Life in Jars? And we'd have the trifecta!

[@T3rradonStudios]

Okay, this is definitly my favoroute build.

[@westwingaero]

I have a SerpaDesign inspired project currently underway, it feels all kinds of exciting...

[@beyondthehedge4516]

Heyy, I just finished mine! :D

[@mMeFlora]

why did i read this as "froggy waterfall" and didn't question it at all

[@joebob8457]

This has happened to me before in other channels

[@ludwigSamo]

same lmao

[@popjensen3972]

😁🥰

[@ShellyCline]

Lol!

[@stefvalencia3393]

I'm just in love with your designs! So happy to see this new one, even though you say is a short term one, i think the balance and creativity of the environment is one of the best, at least one of my favorites! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us!

[@dkfornow5008]

I really love how you show cased the stone, it is very unique looking! And I appreciate that you are showing us how you (and we could) work without silicone and expanding foam.

[@nom3nnescio]

he did silicone..

[@notawinemom8540]

I've spent days trying to set up a new tank for my betta. I ruined one aquarium and had to get another one. I kept thinking, that guy on KZbin makes them look so magical and effortless. I wish I had your talent.

[@TheAgentTexas]

Love the super Sonic mister thing. Gives a calm tranquil touch to it. And once again the contrast between the top and bottom where the bottom is simple and open and the top is complex and wild.

[@richfx1004]

There's nothing else at the same level of production quality and sheer artistry like SerpaDesign on KZbin. I even watched the ones with snakes despite a phobia of them, that's how much I love this stuff :)

[@homeratindhamhome4566]

I can watch this video all day without getting bored.

[@mjmichaelhu9761]

Me: maybe I cou. My wallet: no no no

[@neptune1783]

mjmichaelhu sounds like me

[@sinclaire5479]

This is me

[@CoretanIjo]

amazing! The way install the equipment is awesomely neat. The fog effect isn't too thick nor too thin. It's perfect.

[@NorthwestFilm]

Tan the man at it again, and once again not one drop of disappointment. This in fact is one of my favorite builds you have done so far. Awesome work man, thank for sharing!

[@LizardsVideos]

I'm always blown away by how you manage to take simple/limited materials and make it look so natural and ethereal. Another stunning build, Tanner!

[@bananak62]

Dude how do u made it look so easy i just love how u make it without any anger just love it! I hope averyone is having a great day!

[@DraconisMarchVII]

If he got angry while working, you'd never know it. Also lots of practice helps.

[@janiceshepherd671]

I agree...and as time has passed, his skills still far exceed anything I "thot" I was gonna watch! ;)

[@pewdiepiekidshut9314]

This is the best paludarium i have seen on you tube can’t believe how simple and realistic it is

[@shredman59]

Wow, incredible. Work of art, but on another level because it's a living environment.

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

I enjoye everything you do , it give me strength, and give ma a bit of happiness and joy. So yes l like following every details and the pro and con and why you do things this way, l miss to see the frogs and geckos , and fishes. They are nice pets they dont wake you up early or in the night l live them. I miss working in my garden but at last l can still see him, So yes thank you for all the excitement you given me, l appreciate very much l

[@TheTinManTJ]

This is one of my favorite designs yet. I love the verticality of the rocks, and the contrast of the underwater and above water views of them, with the mist marking the change. I think it worked out really well to have almost all of the plants above water, further distinguishing the two different worlds.

[@viviantheresesangabriel2555]

This may actually be one of my favorite builds! I love the contrast between the water area and the top half. It's like they're two different worlds, especially when the mist makes something almost like a barrier between the two. Love it!

[@christinabrown7308]

So perfect. As always. Really smart idea not to silcone/foam the rocks down.

[@pewdiepiekidshut9314]

This is the best paludarium i have seen on you tube

[@margaretbrown995]

The fog/mist maker adds an extremely cool effect to the waterfall! And, like always, your build is beautiful and gorgeous as ever!!

[@KingFluffs]

1:22 wow look at that snake move!

[@davidtobin8782]

You keep getting better and better. Can't wait to see the 350 gallon tank

[@fredfrond6148]

A quick easy project for any novice to do. Proceeds to build the tank from scratch.😀. Gorgeous tank by the way.

[@daniellalesina1443]

It is never fair how easily you make everything look so natural and amazing. I'm jealous on how perfectly you set the rocks together. Great build. I am planning on getting a crested gecko soon, so i've been watching all of those videos you made a while back. They are really descriptive and perfect for beginners like me. Thank you

[@hobbyscape4433]

Nice! Love the fog. It definitely brings ambience to the layout. I really like the rocks too. The colours and textures look awesome. Thanks for sharing

[@wheelchair_charlie]

Yay! Its Saturday and Serpadesign to the rescue with another life inspiring paludarium build! Love this one!!

[@AquaPeet]

This is definitely one of your best scapes that I've seen!! The mist is cool but isn't even needed to make it this good. Congratulations on pulling this off!! :)

[@codypatterson5780]

I finally have mine finished but I want to build another one. Watching your videos helped me get mine done . Great video.

[@madelinepearson147]

I think this one is by far my favorite! thanks for sharing your work!

[@nanoreaper5002]

I like the foggy pond look. it is great too all the reuse of material

[@oliviadohrmann85]

I just made a really awesome moss terrarium today thanks to you serpa design👍👍🌱

[@kebekha1670]

Love the fogger, it really kicks the setup over the top.

[@ollie8314]

great use of that stone, I love how it looks almost like cliffs

[@ShellyCline]

So beautiful Tanner. The plants were gorgeous. And I love the snails so much!

[@aubryellaotero1064]

Always a fan of anchor catfish in a setup like this!!

[@MrsBJPalmer]

THIS is my favorite- so far! It is so balanced and looks like it's been together for years! I'm already looking around the farm to find pieces/parts, and thinking about the critters I can put in the pond! Wonder if an Dwarf African Clawed Frog would stay within the boundaries? What do you all think? Thanks so much for the inspiration, Tanner!

[@thenightscythe2030]

Another Amazing design! Can't wait to see it fully Developed!

[@Schmingle38]

This tank is beautiful! I’m wanting to start making terrariums so this has really inspired me! One day I hope I’m this good because this is just incredible

[@jc13781]

Another outstanding piece of art. You are at the top of your game. I love to see the different ways you come up with to elevate your projects and push your skills forward. Really amazing stuff!

[@MichaelBearMT]

Really appreciate your alternative methods. Though I really hadn't thought of 'short term displays' (I don't have your space or resources) I do like the idea of being better able to reuse things. Thanks.

[@theecologistcowboy]

I am so captivated and inspired by these videos! Thank you! Keep it up!

[@laradawnay9152]

this might be my favorite one yet!

[@alabasterkros]

What a awesome afternoon project! I really enjoy your channel so much. Is my go to:) Tankcou for always giving us such inspiration Tanner. Takecare ✌

[@Shipreckd]

This one seemed so simple yet finished looking very complex and filled it. Great job as always brotha.

[@harryme472]

Lovely scape . Beautifully composed , as usual.

[@sheilacasper2030]

You are a wonderful artist. This project was so beautiful.

[@stevieeskay]

Mate, you are all talent! Another beauty!

[@mackenzielight7395]

You should start a business and sell custom pieces like this. Honestly I think you would make a lot of money with this talent 💚

[@yandiel_gotta_perm3334]

This is cool, I'm 6 hours late to this video. Thus amazing and encouraging.

[@cyndifoore7743]

It seems like every build you do is my new favorite. I love this, I have to do something with my 55 gallon tank. Btw, what you’re calling ‘knitting mesh’ has nothing to do with knitting and the real name is ‘plastic canvas’. It is used to do needlepoint on. Are you going to add any fish?

[@egg2535]

I'm obsessed with your content after my brother showed me your channel

[@Lazzah101]

So this is what youTube recommends to me at 5:03 am on a binge, interesting none the less

[@siddubois4753]

The fog is my favorite!

[@ogsidefx6484]

this video is underrated

[@joni1497]

This Paludarium is so great🌱😍

[@queso_and_dragons]

I am blown away every week! its gorgeous 😍

[@haustierone]

thaaaaaanks Tanner, I'm binge watching ur videos :)

[@238Tina1]

Man you make it all look so easy. I wish I could do this

[@robertforrest7956]

Another Fantastic build.... Always informative.... Thanks Tanner...👍

[@pinkladybug81]

This video helps me so much! I've been wanting to build a paludarium, but I don't have an area to safely work with smelly chemicals like spray foam or silicone. I live in an apartment, and have a parrot, so strong smells aren't an option. I can definitely do some hot glue!

[@jessicametzger4662]

I’d actually like to know more about the spray wand attached to your utility sink. I’ve seen you use it before and it seems super nice. Can you share what kind/ where you got it? As always I Love your DIY builds!!

[@gfraidfilmz5549]

Thanks for inspiring me to make a palidarium

[@GodisTruth914]

You are so Talented!!!! This one is gorgeous too!!!!

[@janetora]

I stumbled on to your channel. Great work. I think I would LOVE your videos without narration!! The video quality is so good you don't need words!! With beautiful music, it would be so ZEN!

[@thamasaurus]

Wow.. I love your videos and this is no exception. Simply stunning.

[@michaelkartman3543]

This is awesome, man! It’s always good to try something new, you may find a better way to achieve your desired effect. Keep up the good work!

[@starbyray7828]

You make it look so easy!, The end results are always so pleasing to the eye, even when you use just repurposed items from old builds! Stay safe and well :0)

[@janiceshepherd671]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@norwegian_soul]

The way you say süßwassertang is so funny :D (i'm German)

[@Asdayasman]

"I'm trying to use them less" YAY! I much prefer projects with as little manmade stuff as possible.

[@MikeAtCirrius]

Tanner - I’d really like to see some of your biggest fails (eg. tank leaks or major failures, materials gone wrong, etc.) and the lessons you’ve learned. I’m guessing you may not have footage of when things go wrong but as someone who’s interested in getting into this hobby, I think it would be helpful. I know you often mention tips and tricks during your videos but I’m curious to hear about your biggest failures and lessons learned nonetheless. Thanks in advance.

[@CooLin1stPlace]

Finished product=Superb

[@ch166er]

OUTSTANDING!

[@veiryloza7996]

FINALLY , I HAVE BEEN WAITING . 🐛 YEAH SERPA SQUAD

[@JeannotOBL]

I really admire your work! Keep it up! I always enjoy your builds!

[@randieraye4359]

Beautifully peaceful...

[@jakejake708]

Love the fog

[@jieruio]

Another masterpiece! Love it! 😍👍🏻💚

[@UKSkateboarding]

Like it mate! This is a nice one, using what you have you did great

[@johnknotabuc]

Some German Blue Rams would be beautiful in that tank, it would as an element of excitement. Or perhaps one Farewella and a few Corys. Neon Tetras would also look great.

[@ceciwolfcat7]

Honestly it's beautiful, not everything has to be the same.😉👌🏻 I really hope you'll do a vid of your fish tanks soon...

[@salehmahmoudi1721]

Awesome as always😍

[@heathalot8765]

This looks AMAZING

[@faithlmao5082]

These videos are so relaxing!!

[@tromacom]

I had a couple of questions after stumbling across your channel recently (you do beautiful scapes, so relaxing and interesting to watch). I'm trying to set up a terrarium for some orchids of mine with particular needs, cloud forest style so cool temperatures (15-20C), high humidity, and decent airflow. I was thinking of an open top terrarium/paludarium like this, with a fogger for the humidity. My questions are: 1) how do you manage excesss moisture coming from your open topped tanks like this one, especially when the moisture is being atomised? 2) how do you deal with airflow in your 180 tank with the masdevallias, as they have similar care needs to the species I have? 3) what kind of fan would you recommend if extra air flow was needed? Would something like a computer fan work, or would you need something a little more specialised to deal with the humidity? Thank you so much in advance if you happen to see this, I'm looking forward to catching up on all your videos either way

[@alexblanco3697]

So clean, good job.👍

[@clevelandexplorer2221]

Always so inspiring. Thanks again

[@magicmaiko6666]

Looks beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@willierants5880]
