I was not happy about this at all! It couldn't have come at a worse time either. After a few days of work though, I think I was able to get the problem addressed. Hopefully for years to come. 🤞 Either way, I love the progress on this enclosure and can't wait to show you what else I have planned for it. More on that in a few months though. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
Couldn't you get some pond tarp and put it at the bottom and going up the edges? If you can have all the seams above the water level it seems safer to me.
I really appreciate you showing when things go wrong! It can be soooo frustrating when our creations have unexpected problems, thanks for showing that it happens to everyone and that theres no need to despair when things like that do happen!
Earlier this week one of my tanks leaked and the water dripped all the way down stairs through the walls and everything. My parents called and had me leave work early so I could figure out my fish. I ended up giving almost all of them except my betta (it was a community tank and my betta did good in there) and luckily my one friend was able to take them because he has like 20 fish tanks and now the betta that was in that tank is in a 5 gallon. Now I just have 3 bettas along with some shrimp and snails but I miss my other fish and I’ve had them for more than 2 years but thankfully my friend was able to take them.
Hey tanner idk If you’ll see this but I’ve been here around almost 3 years but a year ago due to life stuff I had stopped watching. SO I recently have been watching all your videos since then to get to present day and I have to say it’s really awesome how far you’ve come. You’re an awesome person doing awesome things. You’re the man tanner
Honestly i like this a lot better, the previous one looked too man made, with all those different colors. This one is WOW! Cant wait for it to fill up with lush "green" plants
FWIW I hope the epoxy works. If the plywood is wet, the epoxy may come loose. I had that happen in an old boat I restored. An alternative for future large scale builds might be to use the roll plastic system they use to build shower pans. You do wondrous things. Thank you.
Using thin 1/8" acrylic sheets with plywood support is very affordable and much easier to work with than epoxy. I built two about that size with for friends.
It would be amazing to do some small arboreal geckos like mourning geckos along with dart frogs along the bottom! Sure a large inhabitant would be cool, but it would just be so amazing to just see a population of smaller creatures scurrying around and interacting and behaving naturally in the vivarium!
i agree! would love to see a few different species interacting within the environment. frogs and geckos sound cool too, maybe a tarantula or something that could acclimate in the tank
If I owned something like this, I would spend time every day, just sitting on the floor next to it, staring in and imagining I am in some rainforest. It looks so incredibly calming. Sadly I have no green thumbs, only black fingers.
dude I couldnt keep a plant alive to save my LIFE until my first viv. Sadly I made it before finding Serpa so it could definitely use a remodel, but shockingly my plants are still thriving and my carpet python is LOVING it!
I made a huge terrarium for green anole lizards and that's pretty much what happened. I would watch them listening to classical music or rainforest sounds. Better then anything on tv
@@puessietoo1 At least you can consult Serpa vids when you decide to remodel or upgrade. Plus, props to you for it still being alive for your little noodle.
Tanner, you are so lucky to have they eye and green thumb for this type of art. We are so lucky that you choose to share it with us 😊 Just remarkable, water issue and all. Looks like the leak was a pain but thank you for showing the repair process. Very informative.
I don’t even know how I stumbled upon this vid but I couldn’t stop watching it. My man is well educated in this field so it was like I was learning while appreciating someone’s blood sweat & tears in whatever that they choose to be interested in & watching the end result. Spectacular really
things happen… you always learn something new and the end result was great again. I'm glad that not all things had to be taken out and that you had to start from scratch :)
Random plant question! How did you get the Sansevierias (Snake Plants) to live in a humid/wet vivarium? From everything I've learned, aren't they supposed to be super prone to root rot if they get watered too often? I'd love to know how you did it!
If u throw a snake plant from a dry-footed life into a wet-footed life it will rot, but if acclimated right or previously coming from a humid environment they will do just fine. U can even grow snake plants in water! I have a 55 gal tropical set up and have 2 dif types of snake plants in there.
My 575 gallon vivarium began leaking roughly the same time yours did, although it had been in dutiful commission since April of 2017, so I can''t complain. I originally used 3 quarts of Pond Armor in converting a ThermoFischer Bio-Growth Chamber into a tropical vivarium. Interestingly enough, I purchased the unit on CL for $100, which was a steal in light of the $6500 price tag new units typically sport in the academia/laboratory sector. Your video was incredibly timely as it was a major factor in alleviating most of the stress that confronted me in initially tacking the repair work. After removing the substrate and ascertaining the location of the leak (rear seam), I was confronted with a structural barrier that resulted in trying out some new materials. My viv is home to a large faux oak tree that was constructed out of PVC, styrofoam, DryLock and acrylic paint. Unfortunately, the tree was directly above the location of the leak which all but prevented the proper application of Pond Armor. So, I returned the 1.5 Quarts and decided that I would try L-R Liquid Rubber, as it would allow me to use a syringe and tubing (Julian's Thingy) so as to inject the sealant deep under the base of the tree where the false bottom met the rear wall. After applying a quart and still not getting the leak resolved, I picked up a second quart and laid it on thick. I used some shade cloth as makeshift geotextile and used almost the entire two quarts. After three weeks of sporadic work, I finally have the viv water tight and ready for planting. If you don't get a trio of L. smaragdina in yours soon, I may beat you to the punch...
Much better. How do you tell if the wood underneath didn't mold or rot? Also, how do you deal with the drain holes on the bottom. Is there a drip pan underneath the cabinet?
This is just fantastic. Reminds me of my trip to Brazil and walking in the jungle. You should get some jade satin pothos, I think that would look really great.
I install rain gutters for a living so sealant is one of my main tools . Every now and then you just get an air bubble or a dodgy mixture in the sealant itself ... Even in the biggest name brands from the biggest store there's always a chance of error in the chemistry ....
that black liquid rubber in the beginning is what you need more coats of. then reinforce it with some fabric. basically the method of prepping a tile shower
You know how people make reptile care videos? You should make plant care videos! Your knowledge of plants and where they like to be planted, low light vs high light, humidity, etc. Is so vast and it would make great content. Especially for those whose thumb is not so green :)
It sucks that it happened. Something I always wonder in these beautiful dense scapes, is how do you handle pests? It would be my nightmare to have something like this, wake up one morning and it is full of mealy bugs or spider mites or something... Properly checking all the plants feels impossible.
I have a feeling that the super high humidity deters at least the spider mites and mealy bugs, though fungus gnats like humidity so that I’m not sure about.
The most beautiful part of all of this, his without a doubt, your infectious passion young man. This alone makes it all worth the time watching you love what you do best. Thanks
Have you looked into using spray truck bed liner over the original seal during the initial build? It should add a tough, waterproof layer that should flex and not crack during settling. It might be something worth looking at for a future build to test. You can buy it in spray cans.
Sorry that you had to go through that but I thank you so much for sharing. It is so nice to know that mistakes happen to all of us. Glad you caught it in the early stages.
I love watching these vids! They inspired me to put together my first ever vivarium! A nutrient rich substrate layer and filled with small but wonderful bugs! I love to just sit and watch it all go on.. your videos really are inspiring!
a lot to learn fm u Tanner. I find u a bit of a perfectionist and that makes u the best. I loved paludarium and ur choices of plants. This truly is a piece of nature inside the house 💖💖💖💖
Would you be able to add several different species of animal such and dart frogs, tree frogs and maybe a type of gecko in such a set up? I think it would be so cool to see the different type of life that use different elevations of the build. 💕💕💕
It's a good thing that this happened before you added more animals! It sucks that you had to disturb the habitat, but at least it was more or less during the starting stages. I think when you do stock it, some tropical scorpions would be a good fit. For some reason, I feel like they would really mesh well with the scape.
Awesome video. I'm glad you were able to fix the issue and the end result looks even better than before. Question: how do you handle fertilization for the plants in a system like this? Since you will be keeping animals in there you probably don't want to use chemicals, and a lot of the plants don't appear to be in substrate. I am just curious how it works. Thanks for the video.
Thanks, it’s important to know that even our heroes aren’t perfect! This vivarium is beautiful and I’m glad you were able to repair it without disturbing the balance of life inside there.
I was sitting here thinking there's no way I could resist adding critters to that scape, and then you mentioned you'd be doing that in a few months- so watcha gonna stock it with? Looks awesome, btw!
I would recommend for you because I had the same issue with my 70 gallon is to seal it with silicone waterproof one or you could always use the Mr. foam where you spray it and it’s the seal for ponds or if you wanted to be very quick and simple but it would be costly is to use the aquarium glue
Thankfully most of it made it! I bought a small glass house and thought it was terrarium ready because the ad showed it planted and called it a terrarium. I started with leca false bottom, window mesh and then dragon stone and your substrate mix. I planted it with jewel orchids and selaginella and called it good. It wasn't good! I pulled it apart and resealed it several times and ways attempting to keep the glass open but seal all the seams and eventually lost all the plants between tries so I gave up. Now it has dried moss and diorama tricks to make a fairy garden.
Really beautiful setup. I can't wait to see the misting setup, and maybe a walk-through of your ventilation system. If you have multiple fans, it would be interesting to set them on a timer to create a "breeze" from different directions throughout the day.
Bummer! I watched you build that whole thing!,, So impressive💘 Sorry to hear you've got a leak. I know you'll find it and fix it though you are extremely clever. And I love your videos!👍🏼😍
I have built aquariums, greenhouses and terrariums for decades and there is no way on earth I would have built that without a tub or pond liner in the bottom of it in which the inner walls then rest. Anything else needs to be considered as a planned leak. The epoxy at the seams may actually work and last the functional lifespan of the display IF it is just flexible enough. Good luck. It's a beautiful display.
Imagine having a set up like this full of plants and finches flying around inside. Of course it'd have to be built with more ventilation and lower humidity for the birds. 😍
Hey man, just a thought, but maybe you could make/order some little metal plaques with information on when the tank was started and maybe a second one with the current species inside! It'd mostly be for you to be able to quote them at a moment's notice and to be sure your memory doesn't fade with time!
This is really neat and makes me want to line my bedroom walls in a plant biome like this but of local native plants in my area that I find. Like different mosses and ferns and other plants that are pretty. I'm just trying to think how I can pull it off with no money, no mess
What animal do you plan on putting in it, I think you should do pink tongue skinks, green bellied keeled lizards, or a small colony of emerald tree skinks
You may want to consider lining the bottom of these with pvc/rubber roof material in the future.. it works very well for ponds, lasts forever, and is good in harsh environments..
It looks so incredible, I am so jealous but also so impressed and proud!! Your vivariums and aquariums are always above and beyond any possible expectations. By the way, the bird sounds over the spray-down clips were such a nice touch. The moss on the rocks, if you will! 🤩
You can eat the fruit of the passion fruit. They are full of pips though. In Southern Africa, mostly in Zimbabwe and South Africa, there are cake and pudding recipes containing Granadilla (Passion flower fruit)
Why not use shower pan liner? With a bit of heat you can form them to make nice 90° angles and you could use some sort of glue/screws to install. I'm a noob with plants so I don't know if you could do it.
i feel your pain, i built a 180 gallon plywood paludarium and the water fall causes droplets to run down the door and onto the front. not looking forward to tearing it apart to fix it at all
Tanner!!! If you still have the 150 cube, PLEASE do something with saltwater! It would add so much variety to the animal room with its location and you definitely have the ability to pull off something beautiful!! Challenge yourself! Make a salt tank
At 9:15 the leaf litter on the left makes a face with its reflection. It looks bear like. The tank looks great. You make it all look so easy. Love your videos!
my favorite set up so far but... WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOCK IT WITH ANIMALS??? Would love to see some tree frogs or even some lizards. Maybe add a water feature and have some exotic salamanders
I think you just invented my new favourite saying, I'll be using "That'll be the moss on the rocks" all the time haha! Great informational content here, thank you very much.
🥶 I got 3 ispods in a jar bc I didn't have a bigger container for them. But I changed to a cookie plastic box and they will get more to explore and lil more space. They're so small😩 I cringe when I almost dropped on of them
I commented on the first video that I was glad you did a huge paladerium cuz I did the same and I’m glad I’m not the only one that had a leak (I’ve had 3) I’m going to put in the new tank tomorrow… kinda nervous to see how everything holds up
I was not happy about this at all! It couldn't have come at a worse time either. After a few days of work though, I think I was able to get the problem addressed. Hopefully for years to come. 🤞 Either way, I love the progress on this enclosure and can't wait to show you what else I have planned for it. More on that in a few months though.

Were do you get all of your beautiful plants?
We need this honesty in the hobby. So that people now it's not always perfect and maintenance is a part of it
💚🤞
Pls add some Animals in

It's really not too far off. Just a few less colored bromeliads, but I agree. Easy to go overboard on colored plants!
@@SerpaDesign i mean. glad you got to this much sooner than later. so what exactly would you place in there? 🤔😑🙄

No losses, jut bumps in the road. 😉
The moss on the rocks! I’m totally stealing that expression! Much better! I love the updated look and progress on this vivarium.

yeah snake plants are like cacti, I don't think they'll make it in humid conditions. If anyone can make it work though it's tanner :D
I was thinking the same thing.
Or low light plants
Snake plants are actually really hardy. I have one that has thrived in my tropical enclosure.
If u throw a snake plant from a dry-footed life into a wet-footed life it will rot, but if acclimated right or previously coming from a humid environment they will do just fine. U can even grow snake plants in water! I have a 55 gal tropical set up and have 2 dif types of snake plants in there.

You should look into using waterproof membranes for showers for an enclosure that has that much standing water at the bottom.
I dont even know what a Vivarium is but the algorithm got me interested
If only you posted more I love Theas videos I look forward to them every weekend
Admirable job! That was a lot of work, but well worth preventing more leaks.

You did great! Thanks for sharing! Good thing it is not an aquarium. The weight would be horrendous. it looks great!. Thanks.
It’s stunning Tanner 🌺💚🙃 I’m sorry you had to go through taking it part because of the leak. It’s truly amazing 🌺💚🙃
I think it would be really interesting to have some fun fungi in a vivarium! Sulfur shelf has such a bright color and stays a good while!
What animal do you plan on putting in it, I think you should do pink tongue skinks, green bellied keeled lizards, or a small colony of emerald tree skinks
I'm curious too. I think it will almost certainly be some sort of amphibian.

This vivarium is absolutely amazing
Really enjoyed this video as it showcased what it takes to deal with the unfortunate case of a leak.
Well handled and as always fun to watch.
The shots towards the end of the tank with the jungle sound effects in the background were beautiful dude
You can eat the fruit of the passion fruit. They are full of pips though. In Southern Africa, mostly in Zimbabwe and South Africa, there are cake and pudding recipes containing Granadilla (Passion flower fruit)
Beautiful setup! The plants look amazing. The cricket's were a nice touch.
It's always at the worst times the problems occur. 😅 That is a piece of art and a dream vivarium though!
Why not use shower pan liner? With a bit of heat you can form them to make nice 90° angles and you could use some sort of glue/screws to install. I'm a noob with plants so I don't know if you could do it.
i feel your pain, i built a 180 gallon plywood paludarium and the water fall causes droplets to run down the door and onto the front. not looking forward to tearing it apart to fix it at all
Tanner!!! If you still have the 150 cube, PLEASE do something with saltwater! It would add so much variety to the animal room with its location and you definitely have the ability to pull off something beautiful!! Challenge yourself! Make a salt tank
Passion flowers are my favorite) Sooo cosmic complex weird diverse flowers they have!
At 9:15 the leaf litter on the left makes a face with its reflection. It looks bear like. The tank looks great. You make it all look so easy. Love your videos!
Dude, you are such an inspiring warrior! Any labor of love should never be underestimated.
I had no idea that this was a hobby that people have. This just showed up on my feed. Very interesting.
Always a going to be a good day when you wake up to a new serpa vid
You always do the most amazing setups, never stop being you!
6:12 those buds look like little green peppers! So cute!
Hey Tanner! I would like you to add some water feature to this vivarium!! It would be complete
I love love love that I found this channel. Love your content man, this is so awesome to see!!
my favorite set up so far but... WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOCK IT WITH ANIMALS??? Would love to see some tree frogs or even some lizards. Maybe add a water feature and have some exotic salamanders
I loved the constant wardrobe changes lol
Have you ever considered using a ultrasonic foggerponics set up? Might be great for a rainforest setup.
I think you just invented my new favourite saying, I'll be using "That'll be the moss on the rocks" all the time haha! Great informational content here, thank you very much.
Love watching these videos every Saturday, lets go
🥶
I got 3 ispods in a jar bc I didn't have a bigger container for them.
But I changed to a cookie plastic box and they will get more to explore and lil more space.
They're so small😩 I cringe when I almost dropped on of them
I commented on the first video that I was glad you did a huge paladerium cuz I did the same and I’m glad I’m not the only one that had a leak (I’ve had 3) I’m going to put in the new tank tomorrow… kinda nervous to see how everything holds up
Tanner you are so good! Your living art really leaves me in awe like moss on a rock
Just curious, could you have used a pond liner for the bottom? They work for ponds and they are waterproof.
