Upflow Overflow (Infinity) Bog Filtered Shrimp Aquascape

[@SerpaDesign]

I'm back with another wacky project! As I entertained this idea, I knew it HAD to make it to the channel. Let me know what you think about the result. Also, do you think this is something I should fine tune on a larger scale?

Hi

[@mellewedin8221]

Bro your skills and live art you make just blows me away. Even when you do the most simplest of scapes. Its always legendary, Mystikal, magic in a box or a container of sort. Lol I wish I could mail you my mew 9gallon flex to scape of me and then mail it back. Hahahaaa. Or too bad we do not have transporters like the do on Star Trek, The generation, deep space nine, ya know all that jazz. Haha. Nerd drop

[@matthewquinn4400]

So motivating, good bye cruel world I’m off to build and live in a human sized Serpa vivarium.

[@Cravos060290]

I was thinking like this too, but imagine building an enclosure which takes about half a room which is divided by Glass Panels with a regular sized door. And you Build something like a small "pineforest" with logs with roots at the bottom which go from the substrate up to the ceiling to immitate a forest, put in a little creak or water path and some nice Fern.

[@hoperules8874]

I like the idea of a wall enclosure for society finches that has a live stream & green wall. You could do it opposite a shower so it's like you are showering in nature!

[@Cravos060290]

@@hoperules8874 if you carefully and destinctively seal the part of the room off of leakages it is defenitely possible. If you set it on a Foundation you could store the required equipment like pumps and other things down there

�💛💛💛 I have some waterfall aquarium

[@christopherfassett9973]

Hands down one of the most creative aquascaping youtubers. The vivarium aspect is such a gorgeous effect that adds so much to it. If I were to attempt this build I'd probably design it for the corner of a room and have the waterfall only on one side, with the bottom tray extending only on that side and the front (for plants). I'd want to try and figure out a way to make the pump accessible for maintenance too. Absolutely stunning little tank though

[@aliciarios6854]

thats a lot of typing but all completely true

[@H-Vox]

This guy is honestly a genius

[@doodbro931]

I thought of an idea that could be good for a 2nd version. Instead of using one mirror on the front bottom tank, make the bottom tank all out of glass, and use mirrors on all sides of middle support (which not only would make it look like there were more plants and rocks in the bottom, but might also give the illusion that the top tank is magically floating above the bottom tank even if its only at first glance).

[@charlesabbethy490]

Great idea🐸

[@catfeatherss]

Ooooo. I like that idea!

[@pokemon1000000000]

I thought he was gunna do that as soon as he started talking about mirrors, Has to be done now haha

[@mrbeastchocolate]

I love it

[@Paranitis]

I was thinking something like that as well. Honestly I thought the mirror in the front added literally nothing to the build and actually was more of a distraction than anything else.

[@miles8385]

The overflow effect on the sides adds a really interesting look when viewed from the front, reminiscent to me of volcanic hot water vents you sometimes see videos of. Makes me want to come up with a cool tank design of my own as a hobby :)

[@Stephen-jw8ci]

Wow this has got to be one your best builds. as far as running with it in the future, it would be super cool to do multiple tanks with overflows in a step-down pattern down to a bog filter that extends farther away in order to showcase some more plants in it. would be an awesome setup to do a betta in each of the step-down tanks

[@adamaguirre9315]

This is one of the coolest nano builds I’ve ever seen. It would be really cool to have the overflow tank bigger with some sort of livestock in it, scaling the entire build up to 20-30 gallons

One of the main reasons I keep aquariums is because I love water, the relaxing movements and sounds, keeping fish and plants is a bonus.

[@Icehso140]

One thing I see with this design is creatures "riding the wave" and ultimately ending up in the bottom tank. I've had my snails crawling up and out of a regular tank. But it still looks very nice.

[@miradfalco251]

I'm thinking that those sloping baffles would protect against that problem if the spacing was tight enough.

[@harrymc4339]

It’s so unnatural that it is so natural. It’s confusing how perfect everything you make is.

[@condorX2]

Agree to disagree. The water dripping down like that feel unnatural. It's like it's leaking. Suggestion. He should create an artificial waterfall or a sprinklers leading to the bottom tank.

[@ronskopitz2360]

Absolutely gorgeous - as always!! Count me in the squad that says don’t trust that check valve, though! I would suggest just extending the feed tube high enough that the water that drains wouldn’t overflow the base. Maybe just a couple inches (depending on the relative volumes). Should be easy to hide, and might increase flow with that check valve out of the circuit. Great design!!

[@ramichen9826]

Looks like a flowing creek especially after you added shrimps. It's so alive and refreshing, nicely done! I'd love to have that in my house and plant some of my favorite ferns with it.

Really nailed it with the angled pieces on the sides, I was wondering how often you'd have to top it off to maintain the waterfall effect, those side pieces solved that problem instantly! Great build!

[@ihavetwofaces]

Man I clicked the link because I thought this was a mass-produced product that I'd be able to buy and set up and this was more of a tutorial. Then you built it out of scrap materials. This is professional as hell, well done.

[@williamwescott4213]

Quite an interesting idea, for sure. I'd like to see something in the lower bog tank that is asymmetrical to complement or play off against what's inside the upper tank.

You are a true artist. I hope you have customers that pay you well to create custom tanks for their homes.

your wife is so lucky to have all these stunning scapes around her house! from start to finish and so well made!! i would adore walking around my house with all these gorgeous tanks

[@billjohansson88]

I like the idea. I had chosen a slightly lower middle part and lower upper part. I don't like high aquas. When it comes to the base part, it could work just as well if there were 9-12 support points! The supports can be made of brick, concrete or similar material and are built as an (X) with 4 pieces that anchor the 4 corners so that you have a large X in the middle, for better relief of the strain of the weight that the upper part brings with it. Pumps and media will be covered with plants etc. The middle part needs to be easily accessible and I don't want to spend too much time on silicon and also be able to have the upper part loose in case something breaks! So a 2-part build that appears to have three parts where the upper part has its weight resting on the crosses which are not visible.

[@helicrashpro]

Cool build. I think the check valve (although needed like you said) was the main issue with the overflow aspect of the tank. Check valves are usually quite restrictive depending on the design. Next time go with a more powerful pump to overcome the extra restriction.

[@svenv460]

Hehe you are right! Sweet design but a bit risky. Extending a pipe (hidden with a log/hardscape/plants) to a few centimetres below surface level should be a possible solution for future versions. This might break the intended visual effect. Perhaps adding air (air stone could be hidden under the gravel) near the sides would spread the overflowing water more along the sides Great design (this comment is not meant in any negative way)

[@ronskopitz2360]

@@svenv460 Heh - I came here to say exactly this. The “high end” check valve on my marine tank constantly fails. He would only need to extend the output tube up high enough so that the water that drains doesn’t overflow the bottom. That would make it easier to hide.
