I forgot to mention that the pump is not able to be serviced & if it breaks id have to tare down the terrarium to replace it, keep this in mind if you’re gonna try this yourself. Nevertheless I love how this terrarium turned out! Hope you enjoy the video:)

[@stevesvids]

Hello my friend. Great build 👏 However.....😮 The Pump rating is 220-240 volts. You rejoined the wires by twisting and taping. NO NO NO NO. You've educated your viewers to believe that's acceptable and in reality could be very dangerous. Risk of fire and electric shock. You should never endorse this as an acceptable way to make 240 volt cable joints. Look online for Wago Connectors. You simply offer your stripped ends into the connector and shut the lever for a tight safe 240v connection. Simple and easy and SAFE. Not ranting... just thinking how many young folk will assume twisting 240v wires together is safe. It isn't. It can be deadly. Get yourself a couple of Wago Connectors and redo your joint... please. 🤔🙂👍 Edit: ps. If its a 12 volt low voltage supply you'd get away with it... but not 240v. Even with 12v cable you can get some tidy little snap button connectors for a tidy permanent connection.

@@stevesvidsI can’t tell if your being a nerd of just trying to help?

[@stevesvids]

@@JJ_ginusFN Just trying to help. If you've ever been electrocuted at 240 volts you will know I'm not being a nerd. I've a lifetimes experience in the building industry and shall we just say ive seen it, done it, got the T Shirt. 240v electricity is deadly. You do not twist them together and tape them. Not only would you risk your own safety you could kill someone else. This is why I commented. The video can kill someone. My comment can save someone's life. Not a Nerd thing in my book. Hope that helps. 👍

[@xMcNuggetBuddy]

@@stevesvids Please tell me youre joking right? A WATER HEATER for a whole house is 220-240. This little pump is 120 volts. Its a good zap at best. 220 would melt this pump.

[@xMcNuggetBuddy]

@@stevesvids It's hilarious that you think this pump is 220 volts lol

[@Sylkis89]

I've been a fan of SerpaDesign for years and could not find another channel that could match up. Recently I discovered yours and you're just as good, really well done mate! Gonna need to really binge through all of your videos and then keep up with the new stuff coming out same as with Tanner's channel. Guys like you are what makes KZbin worthwhile.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Really appreciate this! Thank you for watching

[@JacobOakley-z3i]

Excellent looking terrarium! A suggestion for the next time you use a pump: Since it has a UK plug you can easily remove the plug to thread the wire through any small holes, and then replace it afterwards. Twisting mains wire and wrapping it in insulation tape is probably fine for low power items but would be a fire hazard for something that draws more power.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

This is a very good point! Thanks for the tip & I’ll definitely do that in the future😃

[@DUIofPhysics]

Frankly it's a firehazard in either situation and should NEVER be done. Electrical tape does degrade over time, and if the lead gets pulled a few times it could easily pull into a position where it either shorts, or creates a high resistance that heads up and causes a fire. Electrical work really shouldn't be done by anyone who doesn't have suitable education / training in electrical work. IF YOU MUST insist on doing it yourself, use the correct tools, look at a guide from someone who knows what they are doing. Use a terminal block and enclosure, or a product specifically for joining mains leads safely. This is how people die, folk!

[@riverbrown7602]

This is gorgeous! I don't think I've ever said *oh wow* to a terrarium before but this is just awesome dude! 🎉

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!!

[@Jennifer-kk5zy]

I just really love and appreciate nature and how much that just one thing can provide an entire ecosystem

[@alienrobotcommando]

Heat shrink tubing works great for wiring splicing!

[@miniscenesgb]

Lovely creation. That stream is a work of art

[@terrariumforbeginnersshinark]

A peaceful and relaxing video and I think all people will feel the free and release mote stress when enjoying your videos guys. Hope you can make more videos like this . Thank you so much for sharing!

[@claysoggyfries]

I love these videos

[@bacon00fsee]

I watch all these videos and I now believe that I can build a terrarium. Thank you.

[@TerrariumDesigns]

That’s great! Thank you for watching!😃

[@darianbentley3125]

Sweet tank, you should do a temperate one with basalt columnar rock instead of lava rock

[@Bleats_Sinodai]

I would only add a recommendation for people who know how to solder to do so in the part where the wire is spliced and rejoined. It'll make the connection more durable, protect the copper from air, moisture, and being affected by skin oils from twisting the wires together. Other than that, it's quite safe to just twist the wires without soldering, since these water pumps are very low power.

[@DJ_Dutchess]

Beautiful!! I love the stream element !

[@leonardterlevic4765]

7:35 It is necessary to individually isolate the wires, if you didn't do that you would make a short circut as the twi wires are touching

[@Sinserg]

That's exactly what he did?

[@nguyentrunghieu5757]

@@Sinserg He implied that he doesn't know if it is the correct thing to do.

[@Sinserg]

​@@nguyentrunghieu5757I must be missing something, I replayed a few seconds prior, and he only said that "he is by no means an electrician" but still wrapped the wires correctly so that's what's really important I guess. 🤷

[@leonardterlevic4765]

He said that he likes to wrap wires individually, which is exactly what you need to do

[@Sinserg]

@@leonardterlevic4765 Now that you edited the comments it makes more sense lol

[@surgeinc1]

Great video! Why not use black, non toxic expanding foam?

[@patrickwennink89]

oke dude now your just showing off! looks amazing man!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!😅😃

[@davidhyland3833]

How do you keep your terrarium from fogging up with condensation on the glass? Or do you just clean the walls before filming/before the glass is obscured?

[@dornroeschennn]

Its so relaxing to watch you und I really like your simple and lower budget builds🫶

[@mr.robinsoncrewso7753]

Wow this is the next little twinkle Star! I love your Skills and the beautiful Terrarium to. Can you tell me the light do use? 🎉❤

[@AmazingDavidIllusionist]

This is such a brilliant build !

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@terryfoster6836]

Beautiful piece. One question, the plants that u glued, that’s ok for them? They will live?

[@ZacRyanAddictivepizza]

Looks stunning! Great video

[@samshaffer]

amazing build! you are inspiring me to start one :)

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you! Glad I can inspire you😃

[@richmatlock2396]

Great and very informative. How did you siphon the water out?

[@TerrariumDesigns]

I place some typing were the outflow of the stream pump is:)

[@thanhterradesign]

so amazing terrarium !

[@robynski275]

would it be possible for the springtails to get out? your videos are amazing

[@alwayspositive999]

This is really beautiful- was wondering if it was possible to build one - in an open shallow dish instead of a closed glass aquarium ? Prob may need more misting daily to keep the plants alive

[@DERI_BAHTIAR]

Sangat indah paman hasilnya..

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@darynsax]

Great project and thanks for sharing. About the springtails though do they wander outside the tank, my wife would go off it

[@allurio]

this is really cool! you have a mini river in your home, who wouldn't like that! i actually made a closed jar terrarium today and i hope it will thrive!

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thanks! That is great to hear!😃

[@benshaw3891]

It’s worth noting that you can also remove the plug off of the pump and rewire that instead, providing it’s actually possible depending on plug type. Easily done with a U.K. plug fortunately enough. If it’s a sealed U.K. plug, then you can buy a non sealed one for very cheap and attach that. If it’s non sealed to begin with then just unscrew it and then reassemble, no cutting or wire stripping necessary.

[@mountainman4410]

I've never understood why everyone puts the pump inside the tank. If something happens to the pump, you are forced to take apart the entire thing to get to it. If you used an external pump, you could just run a pickup tube into the same hole you used for the electric wire. Then, when the pump fails, it's easy to replace or service it.

[@risingstars7169]

Smart

[@munkeyinspace5331]

I’ve been wondering the same thing. I’m considering installing a sort of tray that could be pulled out of the back if necessary.

[@theHappiSingh]

Sir you have motivated me

Wow that's beautiful....where do u get ur aquatic plants at?

[@63yearoldskater]

Where did you get the terrarium itself? I can't find any containers similar to this anywhere

[@targla4]

Sooey i can’t find… somif you can told me what light are you used for that terraruim… 😊😊

[@BananaBotanists]

Awesome vid

[@TerrariumDesigns]

Thank you!

[@Bartholomew9000]

does the pump need to be on 24 Hours ? or can I use intervals of maybe say 12 hours on/off ?

[@Mikeys_Wrld]

Where did you get the glass enclosure from?

I made this one myself:) here’s a link to a video where I show the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJS1gmR9rKqnas0

@@TerrariumDesigns yeah? I put them in a pillow case and started smashing them, and it shredded the pillow case. What are you crushing them on?

[@tomlawrence8614]

The wiring, you could’ve just unscrewed the casing on the plug and then feed it though

[@Sinserg]

I need to stop watching this channel because now I want to try this as well! 😂 Na just kidding I loved this build too! I can tell that you are using very good quality plants. 👍

Please answer me

This is not java moss this is taivan moss that have muth smoller leawes

[@schilling3003]

Wow! Please stop suggesting that people cut an AC power cord and then merely reattach it with electrical tape. This is stupid in any circumstance, but even stupider around an aquarium. Either do it right, or buy a DC pump so you aren't cutting a mains voltage AC line.

[@schilling3003]

And you are in the UK with 220V so it's even more dangerous!

[@Tinnerito]

Can i use gravel instead of aqua soil for the substrate when making a stream terrarium?
