This is excellent! Wonderful job.

[@LawsonSoza]

Serpa cam you do a electric blue crawfish in a dark water setup? I think it would look good with some smaller blue fish and a purple crawfish. I've always wanted to see someone make it but they use pink gravel and I don't like it not natural. They'll need to dig through . Before pls do your research on them they're like $40 each.

I can't explain how much I have learned from just this one video. Tips, tricks on how to make this and also knowledge about the actual plants. You are absolutely incredible! Instant subscription!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@KayBeeStew]

Same! Thanks so much!!

[@63yearoldskater]

You completely blew my mind with the idea of using cheap frame glass to build the tank!!🤯

[@adamcenteno6155]

This video is the most comprehensive and simple paludarium one I’ve ever seen. I’m saving this one for sure as one of my favorites. I will love to build one someday day and hope my wife doesn’t oppose to it😊.

[@AquascapingAmazing]

It would be great if you could see and take care of the terrarium every day to create a relaxing feeling. Hope your wife supports that

[@carlanderson5068]

The tip about tissue and superglue sounds really useful. I've used superglue for builds before as when dried I knew it was aquarium safe, but in my experience it doesn't bond stone together than well. The little bit of tissue should act as a binder that helps it form around the rock better. 👍

[@virusgem6281]

Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for a paludarium build! The hardscape is not complicated and easy to work around while still looking amazing! Thank you for this, looking forward to next week!🙌🏻

[@vrindabandishte5166]

Absolutely clear simple instructions, no secrets kept, love your work.

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

Awesome setup. I can see why other types of wood hold up better and don't get halfway water logged like the driftwood you used. It doesn't deter how beautiful it is though.

[@chelmsford6774]

It's one of my top ten builds for sure, nice job. I love the immersed growth it looks so natural.

[@stevenbottomley7143]

Great video, you said in the vid that you changed the water several times in the first 4 weeks, what was the reason for that, and how often do you change the water after ?. Cheers

[@hellsbells7699]

Love your mini eco-system design. Clear and simple instructions however you didn't include how you do a water change. I would really appreciate that. Thank you

[@DoorsToHideBehind156]

He probably just uses a tube to siphon the water out like you would do with a fish tank

[@0PsychosisMedia0]

With something like this I don't think you can..right? Filter feeders and other freshwater creatures that "clean" should do more than replacing water. Replacing water will disrupt the enclosed ecosystem greatly.

[@HumilityListens]

That picture frame idea is ingenuity thank you so much

[@davidtinsley5918]

I was thinking of doing a giant one as my first,but i think ill copy this one as a starter,very well presented and very easy to understand.

[@seraphimipx2611]

incredible build with lots of insight and knowledge! would love to see a current video of how it is doing. maintenance of the pump will be a bit painful i am sure but yeah... i would also love if you'd get more into the details like how strong is the pump, what ppi do you use/recommend for subsurface filtering. i think i would have also used a bit of sphagnum moss in some places to help reatin moisture for mosses and other plants within the rocks. but yeah! absolutely inspiring and amazing video! thank you very much! :)

[@yvonnetuakoi4271]

Just stunning so beautiful and I loved the simple no nonsense dialogue! THANKS for sharing !

[@Tinnerito]

This is definitely one of the best builds you've done, its so naturally beautiful! And those snails seem like they do a fantastic job in little aquatic setups like this! I must ask, where do you get your snails from? I've started aquascaping quite a lot for the past few months, and can never get my hands on snails of that size.

[@robertkmartin5815]

Everything you do is so cool. As I recover from quadriplegia this is a great way for me to get back the use of my hands. Thanks and Blessings. Semper Fi, Doc

Just another amazing video. I have just one question, if the pump break down, how would you replace it? It seems to be fixed behind the background, without any way to access it and replace it when necessary.

[@Stephen-jw8ci]

your work is always beautiful and i really love the way you use silicone to make a hinge, the hinges/door handles are always the ugliest part of most scapes but yours look seamless

Amazing. What a lovely presentation. I love waterfalls. I think I might have added a pop of color with a couple of small ceramic crayfish, as they live in that kind of environment.

Gorgeous! I hope mine turns out anything like this one! I'm starting big, since big is what I have (32x18x18). Do you have any info on what kind of driftwood to use or not use? I've got two in the bath that I've been trying to waterlog for the past day. Trying to boil off the questionable white growths and bleach and drown out the worms and pillbugs. Just wondering how deep of a clean is necessary (if I should even be doing what I have been in the first place).

Do you know if I can use clear plexiglass for the tank? At least in my country, I can't find frameless picture frames online.

[@DZ-hu2sv]

Have any of you guys ever have a picture frame break just from the slightest tap? I cut glass regularly. I even use a dremel tool with a special wheel to cut it. This glass for a paludarium is going to be extremely fragile. Between water weight and other materials pending on what you add and or subtract. Not saying its not possible but if you are going to put effort into something you want to have for any length of time, i would highly suggest looking for used ( possibly free ) aquariums that are on Facebook and Craigslist all the time. Its tempered glass and can be broke down and re-purposed. Just have to cut the silicon and make necessary cuts and re-silicone it back together. Not saying this is a bad video or anything. Just a recommendation for type of glass and how to get it for free

also thought about break down my old cube for shrimps instead of using that he shown

How do you clean your paludarium ? Like changing the filter of the pump maybe ? or do you not need to clean your paludarium ?

I just have two questions: 1. How much sunlight does this need? 2. What do you mean when you say water changes and how do you perform the water changes?

Hey terrenium design, big fan of you and your work from India, I have a question, what's is the ideal room temperature for keeping good healty, where I stay in India temperature goes to 35 t0 40 degree and I don't have a air conditioning, is there chance of successful survioul of plants in that condition

[@TerrariumCartel]

Thanks I really want to make one

[@stannos7806]

I need to try that out. One question. If you spray with water, don’t u get lime stains on the glass?
