Will Dried Moss Return to Life?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 сер 2024
- Welcome back everyone! In this one we'll upgrade a few of my setups and remove the terrarium from the terrarium in an aquarium. As I said in the video, this wasn't an easy decision to make because once it's out, it's out. However, the more time went on I felt that it was the right thing to do for a number of reasons. The fish will have a larger volume of water to enjoy, the aquarium will look nicer and the tank can be rescaped/planted to some degree.
With the above in mind, I will most like use a few seiryu stones and some driftwood to spice up the scape. I'm not sure about the wood, but definitely the stones. Keep in mind that I want to retain the hardscape that's there currently and simply add to it. I know the aquarium isn't much to look at now, but it will be magnificent in no time. If that's a process you'd like to see, let me know in the comments otherwise I'll just do it on my own.
I purchased the Dusk Moss Mix and the vivarium plants from www.glassboxtr... They have a great selection of plants that always come in well. Definitely a good resource to use if you're in the market for plants, microfauna, hardscape or dusk moss of course.
Also, the botanicals came from tanninaquatics... They have an excellent selection of botanicals that are reasonably priced. If you've never ordered them before I'd recommend one of their enigma packs and let them know what type of setups you keep. They'll curate a bag full of botanicals specifically designed for your hobby.

You are my favorite UA-cam channel. No drama, no selling, no narcissism, just feel good educational content with amazing visuals . You are So talented.....
Thank you! Glad you're enjoying my content. 😊
Aqua Juwel you said it well. Just honest effort on projects, with honest comment- and I like when things that don’t work out are shone- we all can learn
I fully agree. I love to slowly wake up or wind down the day/night watching them. It's a most chill pace, mellow, I dig your music choices, and most of all...you totally have the audio PERFECTED! 👍Thanks for sharing all your great work! 💞🌈🌿
I don’t know, that ‘you guessed it’ sounded a bit dramatic to me 🤔
Agreed!
3:13 "But i do what i MOSSt" was that a moss pun
Ahaha, the moment I heard it I dropped to the comments. Yay pun appreciation!
Can you do a terrarium growing mushrooms? I love their look, tiny little ones of course. I think it would be a hit. If its possible. Thanks !
it wouldn't be a hit.
Mushrooms are the "fruit". It might be tough to get them forming all the time.
Elijah Yurkovsky why not? Mushrooms are so cute!
Elijah Yurkovsky disagree! Particularly on more forestry looking terrariums. Mushrooms would make it very mystical
occasionally they will pop up in a tank as it matures so i just enjoy them while they last
Do you think I made the right decision? I do! Like I said in the video, I'd just start over from scratch at a later time. Also, in case you were wondering, out of the 298 comments I went through:
30 votes (10%) wanted me to redo the terrarium
170 (57%) wanted me to extend the aquarium into the jar
27 (9%) wanted me to turn the jar into an ecosphere
71 (24%) wanted me to make this a dedicated aquarium
As always thanks for watching and I'll be back next week with something really unique. Stay tuned!
SerpaDesign I think the smell you got opening the jar means you made the right decision. It’s a great idea, but one that’s not really great in practice. I have always agreed with you over maintaining the terrariums, and having one in the aquarium made that near impossible.
Hey love the vid. Do u think it would be alright if I put isopods and oak leaf creaping fig together. I just don't want them eating the plant while I grow it. Thank u and I cant wait to get my youtube channel up.
You could try and mount the jar on top of a rock exposing the rim of the jar just above the water line:)
The one hundred eighty gallon vivarium has made me have a new appreciation for plants. I only saw them as individuals, but now I see how they can work harmoniously. I love going to the forest and I couldn’t find out why it was calm but it was easy on my eyes. Before plant were just animals who can’t move, but now I see them as a part of nature in other places besides the forest. I was waiting for the dart frogs, but now I think they’ll take away the beauty, they’ll be a distraction from the beauty of the plants. I used to want dart frogs, but instead now having a beautiful group of plants is what I want. So I say don’t get the frogs, I think you won’t appreciate the plants as much.
what fish are kept in that tank? i need some for my setup but i forgot the name oops..
You are really the Bob Ross of Terrariums, painting with moss, that was really cool. I love your videos and youve inspired me to creatr my own, even though theyre not doing so well. I hope I learn more. Keep up the good work!
They call me Bob Moss for a reason! 😉
@@SerpaDesign oh my god...a pun god
Good god you guys beat me to it! I didn't even read this comment when answering 🤣
Can't wait to see the result of that moss growth.
That blackwater thank of yours just keeps getting better and better ❤
I think so too! May have went a little dark this time, but I'm enjoying it nonetheless.
SerpaDesign it really makes that fish 🐠 pop
@@SerpaDesign Maybe add some ghost wood in the tank to bring out more visual elements in the dark water?
Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed watching this video please keep making more videos.
Yes please show us the update video of this aquarium! Love your content
Thanks for the input!
I'm glad the terrarium is gone. I'd like to see how you get the aquarium cleaned up.
Me too! It's kind of a relief. I'll most likely do the video on that.
I have that same algae and can't get rid of it. I'd love to see a cleanup vid!
You are such a great educator. If like to see a video of the aquarium redo, because those are the best teachable moments. Redo projects are when I leave the thinks that the teacher thought were obvious, but I didn't have a clue!
Superb! Love all your videos about terrariums, vivariums and paludariums. You're doing such a great job mimicking nature, no matter what is the size of the enclosure. For me it is the hardest part of creating a terrarium.
Everything in this video is informative and easy to understand. I even made one after learning from you. Thank you so much! All those people who disliked your are either jealous or losers.
I am sure you could film every little thing you do with this hobby and most will enjoy it. You have an awesome talent and even if something doesn’t work out right it is still nice to see because you have such a passion for it. Remember when experimenting there is no failure, just learning what doesn’t work.
It's great hearing from a content creator that they're humbled and grateful for their audience. As a member of said audience, it never gets old. I look forward to the next my friend and can't wait for what surprises the future holds with the SerpaSquad.
That’s how -mafia- moss works
Mossia.
SerpaDesign 😂
@@SerpaDesign the p u n s
Can we see how it grew that moss?
A year passes!
I'd be interested in seeing how to re-balance the aquarium, seeing the thought process for how to get it back on track.
I would love to see a video dedicated on how to fix and maintain a balanced aquarium, as I'm pretty new to the hobby myself and your aquariums looks so clean and healthy!
I can't wait to see an update on the moss. I just finished the construction on my 54 gallon and I'm knee deep in the planting phase. The moss totally makes the build, and I can't get enough! I really enjoy your videos!
You know it! Moss is where it's at.
I appreciated the moss mix technique and links. Kudos on frankly reviewing your experiment ! We all learn by trial and error, and it take a confident instructor to discuss both. Thanks again, Jim
It is really cool to see an advanced builder like yourself succeed, but it is just as interesting to me seeing how to properly troubleshoot and promote success long term despite hiccups along the way.
I'm currently studying biology and moss is really fascinating to me, I might try to do something like this this summer, when my semester is over. You're doing awesome work !
I’ve been fascinated by every video you make! Thank you.
While some other aquascapers try to make their tanks looks like a Hollywood movie set, with fake rifts, unrealistic stones, and even waterfalls, I truly love that your tanks look like a realistic slice of the forest.
I love how your betta looks at everything you put in the tank! So cute
The aquarium looks beautiful by itself... and your fish are happy and thriving..
Discovered your channel this week and almost seen all vids. Love your work, livestyle and way of thinking. Greets from Germany, Martin.
I think that, among many, one the big qualities of your channel is when you show of an experiment gone wrong, that lets us all learn.
Keep it up, i love your vids!
The big terrarium looks so epic!
oh man, that moss mix is sexy! Sorry I am late to the party! I am so thrilled you are so into the botanical train as well! They add such great details to your already beautiful scapes and designs. I also LOVE that you encourage folks to TRY things and see what works. Keep up the great work, Tanner!
Thanks for the encouragement Rachel! No need to apologise, I usually don't catch videos right away either. I really don't like when people give up before trying, so I always try to get everyone to at least try. 😁
All your setups look amazing!
I love your videos! I am a science teacher , watching these videos and the HTT vids has inspired me to try and attempt making mini terrariums with my students this spring. Trying to decide on good “free” or nearly free containers. Water bottles seem to be a logical choice as they are everywhere but I’d like something glass. We are in Louisiana so we have a pretty endless supply of mosses and plants that grow well in our environment! Keep up the great videos , I’ve learned something from each of them!
Ty for the link for the plants. Now, after a year watching your vids, going to plant a setup soon
I really love this channel! I watch at least a couple of your videos before going to sleep. They are relaxing and inspiring. Thank you for doing what you're passionate about and sharing it with the world.
"But I do what I must to have happy patches of moss." Classic!!!! Thanks for a great video, as always, Tanner!! 😁🌿🐟👍
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it.
There is one problem I've had since I was 18, algae. This pesky and annoying substance is impossible to get rid of. You add water change, new algae will grow. You add plants, new algae will grow. You add rocks and ornaments, new algae will grow, sometimes fluffy and black (black beard), sometimes a complete carpet of velvety brown textures, at other times plant leaves get green hair, or just green or bluish algae that smears the entire tank glass and even the clear plastic tubes used for air bubbles. No matter how much you fight to have a crystal clear tank and, algae-free environment, it won't take long for this dreaded pest to return the moment you do even a water change or scrape the glass, within 6 days new algae of some kind will creep up and contaminate the entire tank. Even the Plecos, Octocinclus, Chinese algae eater, Siamese Algae Eaters, etc., can't catch up as they tirelessly scrape away 'tons' of this green menace, that they will get mouth ulcers from scraping their mouths against rought surfaces where this dreaded devil has simply got itself a foothold and difficult to eradicate. The algae that is eaten is usually embedded on smooth surface such as glass, and is easy to scrape away. But, it's the one that is embedded on rough surface such as rocks that the poor fish end up with scraping their lips, teeth, etc., leading to faster wear and bruises. I lost a Siamese Algae Eater from an infection caught while it was happily scraping algae from rocks. The infection worsened and the fish was in pain that couldn't eat or swallow. Lucky I took a video of its plight. The poor fish died. I have since replaced the rocks with smooth rounded river rocks and there is now a significant difference. Ever coarse substrate is bad for fish, Corydoras in particulars because they have a habit of pressing their mouths into the substrate to reach a missed morsel they have smelled. In doing their forceful deep entry into the coarse substrate they often damage their barbels which are vital in their well-being, sense of smell and ability to find the food that immediately find its way down into the gaps of the coarse sand pebbles. Substrate sand of 2 to 3 mm is adequate, as the food cannot sink into the spaces of the smaller size sands, so it will be found and eaten before this happens. The best substrate sand is machine tumbled to smooth pebbles of 2-3 mm, like that of river sand rather than crushed and sieved quartz rock which has jagged surface. Algae Eaters have no problem scraping any algae that colonize the smooth and round sand than scraping it on rough and jagged sand that came from crushed stone and tumbled a little so that YOU don't cut yourself. But, the fish? Well, they are the ones who suffer and have no voice and no way of telling you about the shitty environment they live in. You have to consider where the fish came from, what their environment was, what was the bottom of their rivers, etc.
Good luck to you all aquarists. 😉👍
From an ex aquarium shop owner, enthusiast and fish breeder since 1974.
Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos very much. You really know your stuff, and it's easy to see how much care you put into your projects and how much they mean to you. Thanks for sharing your work with us. When the weather gets nicer, I'm going to try making a terrarium with locally gathered flora!
It’s a pleasure to watch your video ❤
Your set ups are fantastic.
You are so good with all of your builds.
You are my favorite UA-cam channel, your videos are just great and their content just like it! Thank you for all your advice !!
Great update video thanks 🌿👍 looking forward to seeing your upcoming projects . I bet you can't wait to get outside in the spring and start working on the pond 🐠🇬🇧
Really looking forward to seeing updates on the moss. Looks very intriguing. Please keep up the good work, I always enjoy your videos immensely!
Awesome plant selections!
Now that we're on lockdown and we're forced to embrace new things, I grabbed a bunch of native stuff around my house. I pretty much had it all, to my surprise!, and am now excited about building my first terrarium.
I thought the idea of a terrarium in an aquarium was a pretty cool experiment! Can’t wait to see what you have planned next! The addition of the different botanicals in all your setups is nice. You’ve got so many great ideas, thanks for sharing!!
I recently discovered your channel, and it's now easily one of my favorites. Awesome content, visuals, creativity. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you very much I appreciate that!
Welcome, friend.
Love what you do!!! Ao glad I found your channel... 👏👏👏👏
Buy the high grade dried Orchid moss sold at Home Depot,put it in a bag with water near light..presto!..it returns to life as the spores sprout. Sphagnum moss seems to do well at home temperatures even if it was collected someplace in cold Canada.
I really appreciate your videos. They help me calm down and zone out from life. Keep on doing what you’re doing it means a lot.
once I get my own place I want to start mine too, but for now i will watch yours
Really interested in growing moss - your pieces are really beautiful- very inspiring
Was great to see you remove the terrarium from the tank. Sorry it didn't smell good, lol. I really like the danios and look forward to seeing how they do now with a little more swimming room. Thanks for the videos, they're so relaxing. Cheers!
Dude!!! I love love love what you do...inspiration is at its height for me and you’ve helped contribute immensely! Thank you for all your informative and beautiful videos! Awesome setups!!
One thing you could do is what AntsCanada does. He has hidden videos that you can only watch if you click the shortcut thing in the top corner. You could reward the viewers who watch you with just a little something- maybe a maintenance video or something. Like this so he sees it
I love the Casper set-up. You're inspiration toward botanicals is awesome.
Isn't he a character?!
I got into terrariums recently and your videos are helpful and interesting.
Appreciate your effort and content
keep up the good work
Just spitballing here, but have you considered wiring some airline tubing to the underwater closed terrarium. Theoretically, that should allow it be in equilibrium with the room atmosphere, so you shouldn’t have too much condensation.
Maybe two connection ports, one for air to naturally pass through, and another that you can use to drip fresh water into the system to maintain humidity. Yes, it won’t be a closed terrarium, but it will have the appearance of one and theoretically could work?
Neat idea!
Experiments are great projects and it inspires people to do their own experiments in their own conditions failed projects are great! don't be afraid to document them. it helps those of us who are learning
YES
Love your content
As always a joy to watch.
You never disappoint. Thank you!
Love to hear that. Thank you so much!
Your vids are really cool! Getting alot of inspiration!
OK dude! You have to tell me (us?!) how you manage to keep everything wet enough for the mosses to grow, without over watering the other plants, causing root rot? Is it indicative of a problem with my substrate that I can't do both - grow plants AND moss? Thanks so much, again! Big love from a sunny Scotland
What type of substrate are you using? Could be that it's retaining too much moisture. Also I'm going to assume that you have a false bottom, but can it be drained? Both the substrate and false bottom are what I could see potentially being the issue. In my case I specifically target the mosses with my sprayer and then minimally spray elsewhere.
@@SerpaDesign I used a real mix of stuff in the substrate. Coco fibre, organic potting compost, sphagnum, top soil, gravel. Since then I have added loads of leaf litter, both full leaves and kinda mashed up stuff. I've also been using a special rainforest substrate mix supplied by a bioactive vivarium specialist - I've been using it when putting new plants in. And I do have a false bottom, which I drain just by moving the substrate and mesh aside and inserting a huge syringe in one of the front corners. I've only had to do that once though, the drainage layer was maybe half full. But I'm even killing pothos!!! It's very disappointing, as I have always kept house plants with great success. I do have to use a heat lamp though, and I think it is drying everything out too quickly, so that might explain the moss not growing. Still not sure why all my other plants are dying though. It always smells good, my crested gecko Buffy is very happy, the microfauna seem to be doing ok. I'm mystified!
its a pleasure to watch your videos....Love it. Thank you for sharing.
All your videos & I've watched a lot of them are both informative & relaxing ! Always full of lots of tried & true useful information & ideas ! my go to UA-cam Guru !
Beautiful work!
You have some awesome setups!
Found your channel quite by accident and happy that I did. You seem to be doing the sort ofprojects I wish I had the space to do.
Super interested of the aquariums development and how the moss painting turned out!!
Btw, Casper is adorable ❤️
Love your videos! been a long time subscriber, and have never been happier with your channel! Was hoping you might do a mini video on getting the aquarium back to perfect condition after you took out the terrarium. My tanks always look very good but not PERFECT like yours. I get tiny algae patches, or odd plant growth, or water discolor ever so slightly. I try everything I can to get my tank pristine like your but I just can’t ever keep it that way for more than a day. Would love to see your process for getting and keeping an aquarium crystal clear and healthy. Thanks again for the constantly top notch content and inspiration!
I got you! At the end of the day it all comes with balancing a tank. Algae is inevitable and even pristine looking tanks have it. Without knowing everything about your tanks I can't diagnose, but I'm curious what your filtration and circulation is like.
SerpaDesign wow thanks for the response! I have a 55 gallon with an aqua clear 110 filter on one side. I also use 1 sponge filter on the opposite side. I use to have a current pump but it burnt out last month. I gravel vac and do water changes weekly. I use to be able to do more maintenance but I had a little one a couple months back and staying on top has proven difficult lol. Thanks again for your hard work and your communication with your subs :)
Cool additional of the rooibos tea, the tannins in the tea will add a few nutrients as well
Thank you for knowledgeable and concise content you supply. I am just starting and really enjoy your artistic and sound techniques that is easy to follow!
Beautiful work.
Awesome as always man!
This was such a cool video! I love your natural designs and hope to turn a 45 gal I have into a huge terrarium one day. Until then, I guess I'll keep watching you!
Loved the video. Looking forward to the moss paint job. Yes for all your suggestions for future videos 👍🏼🕺🏻
Videos have had SUPER great editing recently! Thanks!
Thanks I appreciate that! Still trying to improve, but I've been spending more time editing as of late.
I simply agree with all the forgoing positive comments... Please keep it up
I look forward to seeing the upcoming projects!
Love the video update thanks as always. For the blackwater betta tank, the black background looks amazing, but might I suggest mounting a mirror above at a 45 degree angle to reflect the light from outside into a spotlight in the tank. If nothing else it would add a nice dramatic touch.
did we get the question answered..will dried moss come back? ..🙁 i was hoping to see it.
That’s why I watched this video and I don’t know if I missed it!
Ill watch anything you upload friend! I love your channel! Me and my brother have learned so much!
your channel has totally inspired me to make a terrarium in a jar
Hello! I just recently found your channel and am quite enjoying learning anything I come across. Completely new to all this, so it’s really fun just seeing what you’re up to and what I may want to learn or try in the future. Your designs are absolutely lovely!
i like that black water tank so much .
Damn. That moss pun was on point hahaha "I do what I moss.."
I love every video you out out. I'm not as good as you on your builds but you inspire me so anything you show or experiment is fine by me
3:13 You do what you mosst hey Tanner, thanks for the small chuckle👌
I'm really new to all this and you have helped me in so many ways. Keep up all the hard work and thank you.
Tanner: “I do what I must in order to have happy patches of moss”
Me: “Damnn straight!”
Awesome addition of botanicals
I will watch anything you do it is always interesting to watch and we learn so much Thanks Tanner
Love your videos! I want to see more!
I'd love to see the rehab of the aquarium - the process will be educational to me. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for the input!
This deserves a million views
You sound so natural in every single video. I appreciate how we can see part of your personality and not a made up persona. Quick question, have you ever used rotted wood from forest and how would you go about disinfecting it?
Nice tips, still gathering for my terrarium. Taking my time. Fish only for sooo long ha ha.
Id like a video about you balancing and doing maintenance on the terrarium fish tank!
Your vids are amazing my dude!
Hi! Your videos are great!! Its very nice to see the excellent quality you have achieved! Thanks!
Ooooh, I love palendariums, but I've never been able to have on due to price. Would love to see a "cheap" palendarium build.
