@@PilotJirons Yes! I would say it's definitely worth the time to go out there at least once on a weekend to see all the amazing enclosures and animals they have. You could also pick up some supplies while you're there if you need any.
this was an amazing video to see. I kept aquariums for about 10 years with 6 aquariums. I always dreamt of a paludarium, but never worked up to it. This video truly shows what is possible in the aquarium world.
Thank you for doing coverage on this paludarium! I wasn't able to get a close look at it at Aquashella because of the massive crowds, but it was definitely an amazing setup.
I'm guessing there is about $5,000 to $6,000 worth of equipment hidden underneath and in the back? This tank is same size as mine but twice as tall. I have about $1k into mine. If there is really $7,000 invested in this then somebody needs to be a more savvy shopper.
It's not an issue, if you have seven grand to drop on a tank then you've probably done a little research about what your putting in it. Meaning the lizard was meant to be rehoused in a different setup, as he said it was for a show. Btw, the single like on your comment left by yourself is cute.
Pretty closely related to tegus. I'm planning an enclosure for one, which is what brought me here. This looks a little small, but I'm interested in how well it coexists with that frog and those fish, and I'm curious how long they all lived together for, with what kind of problems.

Great video, I've seen this tank featured in a number of vids from people at aquashella but thank you for a very in depth and cinematic feature on this incredible paludarium. Also really enjoyed that other one you featured and referred back to in this video, that one is one of my favorites and more my style personally. I really want to try to build one of these some day and looking forward to seeing that project you and your friend are working on. Again thanks for sharing Alex!
Also I love this video and tank! I'm a huge fan of custom aquariums and the work that they're able to do! I do plan on getting one of their tanks in the future!
@@janoshaas5533 the tank alone is 135 gallons lmao, and it's custom made. The ADA 120-P is an 80G non-custom. That is 1,150.. Tank is probably in the 5-6k range, with everything else probably 1-2.5k.
This enclosure is absolutely gorgeous. I'd love to make something similar someday. Also, that's not 5k or 7k tank. Maybe that much to have a professional do it for you, but I'd say less than half to do it yourself and have a similar or higher quality product.
I agree. You can have a much nicer set up for well under half the cost of this. The lights are horrible in this set up. The LED strip on the top looks like a cheap $20 lamp. It is actually a pretty bad set up.
@@metamorphosisx6641 if you want you can do that but for planted tanks its not really necessary as plants will simply break down the waste and use it as nutrients, which will be further aided by the nitrifying bacteria. it would just be for aesthetics, especially if you plan to use light-colored sand like in the video in which case waste might stand out more in. either way you wouldn't require siphoning more than once every few weeks or months depending on how planted your set up is and how you prefer the look of the tank
Keeping any animal in a tank that's even close to to small for it is a sin. Karma will hit you wether you are aware your doing something wrong or not, but now you know
Do you know what I think it’s funny? So many people on UA-cam get paid plenty of money for making videos just like this. Even though you get paid money to do videos like this, you still make subpar enclosures and call them giant or huge. I do not make UA-cam videos and I don’t get paid for my hobbies, yet I am still able to build 10’x10’x10’ Enclosures for my critters which are actually quite large. I do that on my own with no money from UA-cam. You people actually have your hobbies funded, and still don’t create adequate environment for your critters. It’s beyond me.
You can do the whole thing for a Maximum of $2,000. Or maybe even less...... sorry but I’m planning to make an aquarium like that but way bigger and with many other animals. I’ve seen better prices already and I’ve seen worse. This is way too much for a small aquarium... the decoration is just a decoration.
This tank was supplied (glass and wood as well as sump system) by custom aquariums but was BUILT OUT and planted by us here at DFWREPTARIUM. It hurts to see a video displaying all our hard work and yet you have no credit to us in the description. Next time you make a video please make sure your crediting the right sources. This tank is still currently at our shop
So tell me.....do you care at all about the fact that this lizard may be endangered, and that it probably was taken from the wilds anyway, to be put in a small cage for the rest of it's natural life?
Spend that much time and effort setting up a massive tank just to put some cheap ass Wal-Mart fish in it? The environmental design was boring and ugly asf. The lizard was cool, though. Too bad the title is kinda clickbait-ish since the lizard was only a very small part of the video (despite the title making it ABOUT the lizard...). Btw, the lizard is at 5:10 if you're like me and that's what you came here for.
You could diy build something like this for probably less than $1000 probably much less really. It’s just quite a bit of work but I love doing this stuff so it’s no problem
You could have higher humidity without too much condensation with that top. Just add fine misters. I have a 120cm discus paludarium, with only fish and it is completely open to the air and has a weeper hose dripping slowly from the top like a soft rain. I have to cut the plants back every week the tropical plants grow so well. My setup cost me about $700 with the discus.
There is not a moving (living) creature on earth, nor a bird that flies with its two wings, but are communities like you. We have neglected nothing in the Book, then unto their Lord they (all) shall be gathered. Quran [6:38]
You could give me a chair, food, water and this terrarium and i'd be intertained for the rest of my life. The way caiman lizards move is just so mafical really, just gliding thru the water almost effortless.
I watched that whole stupid freaking video looking for an aquatic lizard and only got about 30 seconds of it.. disappointed... don't care about the setup, wanted to see the lizard
Couldn’t you make it isolated with animals that’ll clean the inside while keeping a good amount of snails to reproduce and feed the guy ? And leave it untouched?? FYI I know next to nothing keeping animals in aquarium.
I don't see $7,000 in that to be honest. The water isn't even clear. I also don't like the all the hanging lights and cords. That's 1980's way of doing that. The SECOND tank you showed looked professional. Do that scaled up to 130 gallon and diorama.
Stan TheObserver most of the money was put into filtration, decor, backdrop and other aspects of the scape, as well as the enclosure itself. I believe the clarity of the water was partially intentional (I have a friend who worked on the construction and I believe she mentioned it at some point?) and partially due to the caimans bioload and how much it stirs up the sand.

I go to Dallas a couple of times a year for the big Dog Shows downtown. Is the Reptarium very far from that area ?
@@Deepbluhuntr It's north of downtown Dallas in Plano so maybe about 30 or so minutes not far at all.

What equipment can cost that much? Auto cricket breeding-feeding machine with controllable size?
It's just the negotiation room ;)
That tank alone is probably 1k
@@bigfoxki That's his point...
he did say 'the tank and everything in it', tank, cabinet, equipment and maybe he included the fish, frog and lizard in the total price too.
Extremely overpriced and still way too small for an adult caiman lizard, that grows to 4'. At least mention the size issue.

Why not show us the sumps. They are pertinent and interesting as well

Probably because it’s not his tank
The caiman lizard is such an eloquent reptile that looks like something straight out of a sci-fi film 😍
Great video. I love to see reptiles. So few are worth the stink. :) I kept bearded dragons for a few years before aquariums took hold.

Now we know Godzilla’s origin.

Mosasaurs evolved from aquatic lizards like this one.
From aquatic lizards or into aquatic lizards
From aquatic monitors*, this is in the tegu family
I think the door frames makes it look like three tanks stacked together.
Misleading title. It barely talks about the lizard and instead talks about aquariums and plants in it.
Beautiful enclosure/aquarium. Caiman lizards and other semiaquatic lizards are my thing! Thank you for sharing!
An aquatic lizard
AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Double in size? That’s an understatement, those lizards can get up to 4-5 feet!
Wow they look magnificent when they swim.
Your water is so clear and the plants are beautiful. That room is heaven
Nice Palaudarium, but that's by no means a $7k setup. Overpriced is a massive understatement.
Diy bild now way its 7k😂 1k max
Stefan you obviously never owned/ payed for a massive aquarium/ terrarium/ paludarium

It would be way more interesting if not for those black cutoffs. I'd rather have another solution. It breaks the landscape too much.
I don't see $7,000 in that to be honest. The water isn't even clear. I also don't like the all the hanging lights and cords. That's 1980's way of doing that. The SECOND tank you showed looked professional. Do that scaled up to 130 gallon and diorama.
