What about the tubing and connectors? Where do you get them? thanks

[@satyamnayak5153]

but one thing i want to know how to clean the spong in future.. is it possible

[@jonisolis9645]

Good question! can this be a long term project? @@satyamnayak5153

You know what I find different between you and other terrarium channels? You make things look so much simpler! when I watch others I think to myself "That's STUNNING but I don't have the experience/materials to be able to build this myself, like how do you even cut glass?" But not when it comes to you, you explain things in such a simple yet descriptive way that makes me actually think perhaps one day I could do something like this myself. Amazing videos, keep them coming!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I really appreciate this! Very glad you find the videos useful:)

[@chickenfist1554]

Yep, no pretentious crap or worse still, drama!

[@Beast_Hub]

Hands-down one of the best Terrarium KZbin Channels

[@jhcsutoni]

Literally the channel that helped me build my own terrarium artworks

[@thejuanderful]

I love the way you show the completed terrarium after it's been established for eight weeks! Really helps us get a better idea of how to plant with the end result in mind, which is absolutely stunning in the case! I love the look of asparagus fern! I've wanted to make a terrarium with it for a while now. Soon..... 🥰

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Glad you enjoyed the video:) it’s always fun sharing them after a few weeks as the change so much😃

[@alexg5513]

Love that pop of colour that you added, the largest piece of wood makes it very busy looking but I am so glad you painted the sides black, the cream foam really brought it down otherwise I love it. A slice if peace you could literally meditate to.

[@trenedecox741]

Wow! As someone whom has just came across your channel, I am honestly amazed, I’ve always made small terrariums in old glass jars and found it fascinating watching the plans bloom, I have subscribed and I will now continue to binge your channel thankyou, you’ve now aspired for me to create slightly larger terrariums. Have a blessed day. Trenede, Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@lorraineclark1838]

Thank you for explaining this so clearly. I find most KZbin videos fail to have enough detail to follow all the instructions but yours was entirely understandable even though I am a rank beginner.

[@morneschaap2944]

Beautiful! The spider wood really made a big difference. What an amazing build.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it:)

[@kam7970]

really nice to see how much pride you take in your work. thanks for motivating me to making it my own hobby.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I really appreciate that!

[@Octilious11934]

By Far the best channel to watch when you are stressed

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!:)

[@KanKazable]

Lovely! I especially like that you show your builds after 4 / 8 weeks. Adds so much to the video IMO.

[@wabbab]

So glad you showed the established terrarium, Serpa Design, the other channel like yours I watch, doesn't and it gets so annoying because it doesn't look as natural Good stuff dude

[@wxlurker]

Tanner does do update videos that show how his tanks and terrariums look like after development.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Don’t forget to subscribe:)

[@Rob.van.D]

Beautiful and you make it look so easy

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@assiahinarkansas]

Really enjoyed this build! I like the addition of the spider wood “vines”. I have an acrylic container similar to this shape and you’ve inspired me to start planning

[@louhannel]

This channel really deserves more love. Hoping Subs increase a lot because really, the quality of content you produce is amazing!

[@shane006]

The spider wood branches totally accentuate and compliment the the tank, wonderful build overall!

[@robimsel]

I'm moving into my first own apartment and was scared to be bored way too much. The algorithm gods sent me your videos and now I think I might have found a great hobby. I will probably fail quite some times keeping these systems alive and maintained but that's part of the journey. Thanks for your videos, they are great and really helpful. It will probably take some time to figure out which plant to use on which occasion, as I have no idea at all about plants

[@SirChecken]

This is such an unique Paludarium :D paludariums are my favourite keep up the great work man :)

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it😃

[@interestingNow]

I really like your professional videos! When you place the plants, do you cut directly from the pot and plant or place in water for how many days for roots to come out?

[@okukihar9182]

私は以前からウレタンフォームをもっとスマートに工作できないか考えていました。 なのでスポンジとビニールを駆使した水槽を汚さない工作はとても画期的です！ これは私が見てきた中で最も賢いやり方だと思う。

[@mikecrystalrobert7898]

Ever since I found this channel u have given my aquariums so much more potential an my fish a much better way of life👍 So many simple amazing looking ideas keep up the beautiful content an it’s very therapeutic 🙏

[@MrSimplejack09]

Thanks I’m really in joying your videos. This is something I have always wanted to do make terrariums. You’re videos give me confidence to finally start

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Love to hear this & thanks for watching:)

[@chickenfist1554]

Looks awesome! And the roots hanging down make it look like a scale mountain diorama too!

[@emilytan268]

Awesome!! And you just makes me confirm that asparagus fern can be grown only in water

[@G4RF13LD]

every time you use duckweed i get so excited. it's such a delightful little plant :)

[@SuperCarmen57]

Wonderful artwork, thank you very much !

You design your own fish tank like a waterfall just like in nature... very beautiful ❤️

[@loribuening4345]

I like the added vines.

[@BillyWard15]

These videos made me give this ago myself! You make it look a lot easier than I’ve made it be😂

[@azulrus7775]

This is just brilliant man I can't wait to make my own keep them coming!

[@tynanlawson9646]

Definition of trust the process 👏

[@omaeve]

I’m new here and really think you’re great. I love your scape.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video:)

[@gemmylinkggggggg]

I am a fan from Egypt. You made things very easy for me. I have a question. Can plant roots grow inside the foam? How can they penetrate the foam to grow and expand?

[@bluepandaman]

I would try one of these, but then I remembered that I have an entire front and back yard that is in desperate need of care.

[@Wilsinart]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@XD.73-849]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@jackstone4291]

Love it!! Do both at the same time (I try to do half of one job before I start another job and do half, then finish both jobs at same time - kind of bad multi tasking…….) It stresses the wife out loads as there’s so much mess! And I love it

[@silasfoulon]

8:59 OOH I see some very exiting things in the background, Can't wait for that video, also this vid was awesome👍

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Very well spotted;)

[@silasfoulon]

@@TerrariumDesigns 😁

[@chrisreilly1290]

Love the additionals! I really thought you put bonsais in at first

[@TrungKienNguyendh]

Your method is very good, I learned it

[@Yukary_Mitsuky]

Beautiful 💕💕💕

[@tanamiist]

You make me want to do this as well but sadly where I live we don’t have a hope of sourcing those plants. Very disappointing. But I love watching your creations

[@TR-yw5sr]

Love your channel ❤

[@jasonashdown7358]

Awesome, leave the spider wood, another amazing tank, keep up the good work

[@Sceme1991]

That came out really nice.

[@sixteenlibras]

my new favorite KZbin channel

[@clementpigot6561]

You speak funny but I like your work. You’re a real artist!

[@TopHindiSongs-z7v]

You are the geniuos ❤❤❤❤ love from hunza valley

[@Isaac-px1jx]

That would be even better if you put some neon tetras in!

[@RichardKuniegel]

I appreciate you sharing your process of building these tiny environments. Could you tell me what brand quick connects you are using for the tube connections? thank you and happy new year.

[@andrewburkholder3842]

Really like all your 8 week additions - was thinking at first about the bare foam on the sides... even if you cant see it from the front I would KNOW it was there and bother me.

[@andyproctor696]

Beautiful!

[@alricoroshquila6079]

Finally posted!

[@Lemonyellowanne]

WHERE Where where can I get the aquarium you used for the paleddarium??? Best I can find look like rectangular fish tanks… love the shap and dimensions of yours!! Thank you so much.

[@IQuittednow]

This helps me sleep thanks alot fr

[@OnefishTwofishROC]

STUNNING! are there links for the push fittings? If not...what size was the clear tubing and the fittings? Thanks so much!

[@cedricCH]

This is amazing! Does the mini tree branches grow out by themselves?

[@maximsuvorov9193]

Like for the detailed explanation. I’m yet to start my first paludarium. The setup and simplicity is great but how you’re gonna clean foam and pump when needed?

[@xerxeth1861]

Love your videos, very inspirational! Now if only I have more money & time haha

[@lilianbidondo8730]

Me encanta su trabajo felicidades 👏👏👏👏🌵🌵🍀🌵

[@marsman64]

Real nice setup, do you have any problems with algae in the pond, and for how long does it all stay good?

[@Joe-zu7xx]

Wow.... first time on your channel and you make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know if you sell them or do you know where I may be able to buy one similar to yours. thanks in advance.

[@pedroteixeira9115]

Thank you very much for sharing the videos, I'm enjoying them so much that I'm going to try to make one at home. When I was looking for materials, I had a question regarding the choice of the water pump. If the pump breaks down we will end up ruining the entire ecosystem. Is there any pump that you recommend that can be placed outside the aquarium? Thank you very much

[@heartsonchannel]

Nice! I never really understood how water gets through to the back though. It seems sealed by expanding foam. Mind explaining?

[@robc5520]

Awesome tank. could you add a penny turtle? or a few shrimp to this tank?

[@TychoVanBroekhoven-d5e]

Love your vids ❤

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks😃

[@zanewatkins7483]

Absolutely love you!!

[@darkprincess1918]

Awesome work!!!

[@СергейАкулович-ъ8г]

Спасибо! Отличное поучительное видио. Процветания каналу! Добра всем.

[@robeningrideijsbouts-strij6439]

it looks really beautiful sir, but I had a question, what is the name of that plant that resembles a small tree?

[@transtailor940]

Beautiful 👍👍👍❤️

[@IslamicSunnahTeachings]

سبحان الله! Nature is amazing

[@UnitPemuda]

This is a nice one 🎉❤

[@SufficientSpirulina]

Great spider wood

[@KIEMTIENVE]

Rất tuyệt vời, tác phẩm rất đẹp, cảm ơn nhiều

[@wxlurker]

The cling film is such a good tip, I kinda wish I knew that because I sprayed directly on my glass so it’s permanently there and if I ever want to redo the scape there is a lot of scraping to do😂

[@leesapollo]

Cling film was genius

[@RenatChapas]

Yuor video is beautiful 😍😍

[@ClaireNel]

Hi there, could you tell me if you have any issues with smell from the expanded foam at the back absorbing the water? and any mould issue? I think it looks great but I'm worried about the back not being sealed and I really want to do this.

[@greenfingersofcecilia]

The asparagus requires moist. How often do you spray it?

[@davidwarner6755]

I have watched several videos where people use superglue and expanding foam. However, I notice that the label on both only says 'Water Resistant'. This paludarium has lasted at least two months according to the creater. Will the foam and glue hold up in the long run?

[@tanzhiyangmoe5493]

Nice

[@StephaneCharre]

Hey any recommendation where to buy those kinf tanks ? Or to make one ?

[@jorgefar1848]

You don't put substrate on the asparagus plant? Or what substrate can you put on it? Thanks!

[@bautista7938]

You should use expansive foam with lava rock dust on the outside of the palladarium, instead of painting the glass black. I think it would look sick!

[@Tinnerito]

Does anybody know the species of those snails?💚

[@ani2767]

How long will that last with no soil for the plants to draw nutrients from or do you put nutrients in the water

[@kuyastorm3422]

can i ask if the filter last on your 8th month.. or do you replace it? thanks!

[@Mr.Pufferfish.]

yes

[@cherylj7460]

Is there a reason the first coat of color is silicone? Would spray paint work?

[@snehaprakash8097]

when will your substrate be back in stock?

[@jesenboy]

is the fern growing well?

[@rysrys5213]

Thanks

[@salisatsat2816]

That's why the word amazing was coined and pronounced.

[@fishbreedingkeptsimple.]

Amazing

[@rickyjones5115]

Would these materials be animal safe?

[@RafaelHA2010]

Yes. But this one is too small. Also, the designs must have enough space and features for the specific animal it's going to house

[@wojtazonix]

love ur videos

[@delroynestawilliams5247]

question, can aquarium fish be added in this set up?

[@lewishoward9568]

How do you fertilize the plants?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I add a few drops of aquarium plant fertiliser to the water every few weeks:)

[@hcjung8653]

How do you make crushed lava rock? Did you smash rock with a hammer?

[@zarkatalksbangla]

very nice

[@owenmclean8135]

Can you give tips on how to clean?

[@tanayanottanyabrooks8085]

Are the snails going to stay in?
