      Just make sure its somewhere where the water temp stays a steady temp a keep near a window not directly in front off to the side so when the sun goes down it isn't a huge change an invest in good bacteria. You can also get solar pumps an bubblers as well for water flow. ♡

      It's so much fun to have these, and some with little waterfalls! It's easy too- just a little low flow aquarium pump to move the water, very inexpensive! (Less than $20!) Best of luck if you try this! You'll want more than 1, LOL!

    • @abalczon
      @abalczon 3 роки тому +5

      It doesn't require a lot of care compared to a lot of other aquatic environments, but don't just assume it's zero maintenance. Make sure it's not directly in the sun for long periods of time because you will get algae growth, maintain temperature, and some movement in the water from a small powerhead would also be a good idea. Be sure to still do small water changed periodically because there still are some elements that can build up from replacing evaporated water over long periods of time. Check your pH, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, phosphorus, etc still to be sure it's all in balance.

      Are you allowed to collect from the wild?
      If yes, look at nature around you. Use local marginal plants, and add local wetlands fish / minnows, etc.
      For the winter you can surround with hay bales and put a thermal window on top to prevent freezing, or drop a horse trough heater in to keep one spot clear of ice, or use an insulated pond so that freezing water on top won't bust the pond.
      Best of luck!

      Low tech in fishkeeping refers to the equipment used to maintain the ecosystem in the tank. High tech would include things like CO2 injection, sump/canister filters, fertilizers, etc.

      A good drill and good diamond head cutter like that will probably put you back $160-$200 at lowes, Kinda expensive but worth having if you're into this hobby enough

    I’m curious where you obtain such a multitude and variety of plants. Some are quite small and I wonder if they’re available like that in a regular nursery or if you have a special source ( not asking for names, just curious about whether you buy ‘in bulk’ or have a place that sells them individually, etc.) This project certainly is beautiful. Well done! (As usual 👏🏻)

    It's a neat system, but I'd think an airstone (or two, depending on the size) would be pretty good just to aerate the water a bit - especially as the plants are mostly bog/terra-types and not inside. Tho with little livestock it won't be much a problem (unless they breed uncontrollably lol)

      I do something similar, and I live in SC. Just doesn’t need to be in direct sun, and use outdoor hardy plants. Mine gets a splash from the garden house twice a day to help with generating oxygen. My grandmother did the same, in huge clay pots. You will get some algae, but not much. I also use gold fish the same, just not too much. Best wishes 💐

    For better drilling techniques with those diamond core bits, drill a hole through a dry sponge first, then get it wet and put it on the inside of your bit! As you drill and press through it will release water keeping it more wet while drilling!

    Another great build. This is a good way to inspire people to put a riparium in their home. Especially since the only electricity needed is light. This would also be a great outdoor feature in a more southern climate. There is however; two things I would alter if I made one myself. First I would add some shrimp. Help with additional waste control. And some snails for the same reason.

    Great setup! But every time I’ve removed all the soil from roots, or pulled off roots like that, it’s caused extreme setback in the plants. What are you doing differently that “stimulates growth” as you say?
    I’ve always had the best results from not disturbing the roots, not cutting any live roots, and being gentle with roots in general (not breaking any roots).

      when you transplant a plant pot to pot, yes you do trim roots.
      The plant may seem smaller by trimming it roots and I see he did trim some leaves to clean it up ( big plant in middle) but over next 2-3 months, it'll bounce back fuller and healthier growth.
