Putting an Ecosphere Inside of a Closed Terrarium

[@SerpaDesign]

Finally got a chance to put an ecosphere inside of a terrarium! I think it turned out great, but as I said in the video, I'm only getting started with ecosphere and there's a lot more terrariums to come. What did you think of this one?

[@halocemagnum8351]

SerpaDesign i always thought ecosphere’s are really cool. So I say get some more videos of that :)

[@TheDancingHyena]

I am curious about the maintenance that ecospheres require. Surely algae eventually grows in the water, right? So the water has to be changed periodically?

[@lisagray569]

Great idea!

[@cmastea5]

I love this! I purchased an oil/vinegar container a couple of years ago when I was in Greece and your design inspires me to use it in this way. :) I began watching your videos about 6 months ago and have made one (native/backyard) terrarium so far.

[@halocemagnum8351]

The Dancing Hyena If you use the Volcano Shrimp in your biosphere they will eat the excess algae so it doesn’t build up on the walls of the glass :)

[@ifritto]

@@dutchking8513 haha nothing wrong with that, we are just all late bloomers! Definitely something about getting older that makes you more inclined toward meditative, productive feeling hobbies like this, even though we never took an interest before

[@misadventure5216]

Idea: Make a terrarium with a ship in a bottle and have the plants “overgrow” the ship and make it look like it had been there for decades.

[@troymorelli916]

That could look cool, I think that would make a great decoration in the living room, not on a terrarium shelf, but yeah I think it would be a great idea!

[@changedaccount6436]

That would look awesome, but I don’t think serpa likes having man-made human-esc items in his vivarium, but if he does make it, that would look amazing

[@lennyalbrecht9110]

I made one with a little budhha posture inside to get the same look you're talking about!

[@Axqu7227]

I have severe PTSD and your videos, without fail, help keep me calm and relaxed when little else will. I love your work.

[@SerpaDesign]

Glad to impart peace on you through my content.

[@papusna84]

I watch it before bed to calm me down to

[@Craftalyticalrants]

I have severe PTSD too, I'm currently going through a really bad episode and found this channel at exactly the right time. Like you, I find watching so soothing... And I'm learning too. I love the idea of terrariums, I really want to set one up but I have zero experience. Is there an update on this terrarium and ecosystem? I'd love to see how it's doing now.

I love the design, who would have thought something as utilitarian as a banana hanger could be put to such good use. As always, your terrarium is a real work of art.

If you're interested you can buy sheets of diffusion gel to place over your windows during a video. You can go online to B&H and look for sheets of frosted or 1 stop, 2 stop and so on. Tape them over your windows or lights and it will cut down on the hard reflections on the terrarium. The reflections will still be there, but much softer. You can double of diffusion sheets as well to create an even softer reflection. And it's all reusable. Just a tip from a photographer.

[@IRaptorHDesings]

A polarizing filter for the lens of the camera would help too since it cuts some reflections

[@comradegarrett1202]

@@IRaptorHDesings especially because most of those reflections are windows

[@20greeneyes20]

Your a great teacher. I love all your ideas. I'm a plant and nature addict....... Have been for 40 plus years. Keep on creating your little heart out ❤️

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Great result. The thick string really adds to the look, as well as the function of hanging the flask lower.

[@quinn_griffin]

Will such a small, sealed ecosphere be fine? Will its gas levels get imbalanced? Also, I wonder if you could make a lamp out of a container like this: light on the inner sphere, ecosphere on the outer.

[@_Wheels_21]

The problem with that would be the amount of heat that the bulb produces. It will most likely bake the mosses inside

[@_Wheels_21]

Now a non heat producing emitter such as a light emitting diode, (L.E.D) should work just fine but produce a different color of light

[@dangus6934]

You have waaaaay more patience than I do when it comes to scaping in tiny spaces. I also love your ingenuity with making new tools so you can work in those awkward/tight spaces. Cool stuff, can't wait to see what projects are next!

[@emmanuelsoniega2328]

Wow!! Perhaps you can make another one with the ecosphere or aquascape outside and a terrarium on the inside🤔 Excellent work man!

[@andreholmes3949]

Yawheng Soniega he’s done it before and he said it just didn’t work out too well but he might visit the idea again. There’s a video or two on it

The amount of patience you must have is astounding..

[@fishsockss]

I always wanted to make somethin like this ... had no idea bottles like this were a thing ... you did awesome

[@danemeow8]

This is one of my favorites you have done so far! The container is gorgeous and perfect, and those little anubias are the perfect size and pick, they add the detail and the full plant look while the terrarium outside provides the nice mossy plains/backdrop. I think it's lovely and perfectly "balanced" haha, and putting it on the banana hanger is genius because it looks nice but is also relatively cheap and easy to come by. Just perfect thank you!

[@SerpaDesign]

Thank you! That's exactly how I wanted it look, so I'm glad you see my visions too. As for the banana hanger, I got it at Goodwill for $0.99, so you're correct.

[@chrisreilly1290]

it is so crazy to see these two elements come together in such a beautiful enclosure

[@christmassnow3465]

The idea that the springtails in the outer container have their own aquarium to admire inside the smaller one is a cool idea. 😃

[@dawnt6791]

I think this is one of the most incredible small builds I've ever seen! Magnificent!

That cruet was perfect for this project. I love all your terrariums and aquariums. Your videos are great. I find many videos have the music too loud or the person does not speak distinctly.
