You can learn more about the Oase BiOrb Air 60 here: www.biorb.com/...
These terrariums were set up for a contest at Aquashella Chicago, a US aquarium convention that happens twice a year. The terrariums were set up and designed by US aquascapers and represent a more artistic design than you might see elsewhere. These setups were housed in seven Oase Biorb Air 60 terrariums. These large orbs are designed to regulate the climate inside their individual spheres, regularly watering the plants inside. In addition, a small automated fan in the hood keeps air flowing through the setup. Finally, the lights turn on and off on a standard 24-hour cycle.

Seeing these makes me sad that Aquashella was canceled last year. Really missing in-person interactions with fish nerds 😭 Great job capturing the scapes as well... MINT footage dude!
Amazing scape Tanner! I really like the look of the spike moss on the right of your setup.
Thanks! It's a bummer that we can't see each other in person, but this was a fun flashback to pull out of the archive!
@@notyouraverageaquarist8886 oh hey lol! You still thinking of doing that competition? I’m still interested if you still are thinking of doing it :)
@@ryderreptile Yep :)
@@notyouraverageaquarist8886 let me know when you do it! :) I’d be happy to join
I think that Tanner Serpa's design was the best! I really liked the fern in the bottom right and all of the epiphytes growing on the branches.
SerpaSquad, represent! Seriously though, he has a ton of practice with terrariums and a wonderful eye for that catching design he is now famous for.
Tanner Serpa’s design felt like a masterclass of using all space provided while never neglecting the needs of any of the scape. It was a wonderful execution of skill. My favorite by far.
I would love a bio-orb, they are just soo expensive
Tanner Serpa's is the best. The other designers seemed to struggle with scaping an orb, leaving too much negative space or being too concerned about the edges.
Seems so long ago we completed these. I remember John and I trying to glue some
Wood together and the entire bottle cap fell off and I did the entire scape with glued together fingers. I think Tanners and Hieps/Jason’s are two of the best.
I have experience with aquariums but I really want to try terrarium’s someday.
Same! It’s so easy to get plants for aquariums but I don’t know where to start if I needed to buy moss, lichen, etc for a terrarium... someday lol
For me terrariums are so easy! Set em & for get um (when set up correctly)
HMU sometime. I ha e many terrariums and aquariums. Would be glad to share.
I think my favorite was the next to last one.
i personally like the 5th orb, done by Bono and pini. you called it when you said it was fully using the space without it being overtly dense. It has a great mix of tectures and sies and such but it could use more colrvariettion.
I won Tanner’s BiOrb. His was my favorite. I wish I could say it still looked like that. I managed to kill a few of the plants, but some survived.
You should share what it looks like now
I liked Tanner's BiOeb and The Chicago plant Society a close 2nd. Cheers.
You had me at "burgundy bromeliad. Blue stone is also something that attracts me.
But, as far as the complete picture goes, #5, with its analogue to Mr. Amato's "Nature Aquarium" is my favorite. It is a slice of nature, exhibiting both growth and decay.
And . . . bromeliads! While not burgundy, they still are favorites of mine,
Bio-orbs are brilliant, but so pricey I cant afford one. :(
How much is it
@@patrickdenver7941 Bioorbs are over £350. I want to buy them, but they're so expensive when compared to other fish tank models. For the same money you can get a much bigger rectangular one.
Definitely Tanner's. He's a true artist.
Tanner’s is my favorite but I also like #5 with the central stump!
Tanner Serpa is brilliant 😍🙌
Last one done by Tenner is the best one
Just wanted to say that I find your videos incredibly relaxing. Had a long day at work today and this video was perfect 👌🏼. Thanks for what you do!
I would like to rent one and permanently live inside.
If I was an inch tall I would too
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 or maybe you need bigger Biorb
I think its between number 6 or number 7. I would give it to number 7 tho. Awesome video!👍
Tanner Serpa was my favorite.Hige fan😆
#7 is the best but they're all beautiful.
Hey Alex ~ Beautiful presentation. If I had to pick a winner it would be Scape 7 (Tanner), but with Scape 1 (Chicago) a very close second place. The first image you show of scape 1 is picture perfect. The wood is used to full effect with a nice sense of elevation. 3rd place for me is Scape 2. It has the most naturalistic feel. It’s a bit chaotic (in a good way), much like you’d encounter in nature.
The Chicago Plant Society tank is definitely my favorite. It is the most balanced in terms of plants and use of space, has the best transitions from the floor into the scape, and the wood was used to create some nice angles that are pleasing to the eye. Like many here, I like Tanner Serpa's work, but this one was not his best in my opinion.
I like the. Terrarium from from Jen Williams
ORB HEAVEN 😘 To say I like one over another is a hard choice!! They each have their own appeal. I think mine, if I had one, would be all in mini orchids. 😎 Can you guess why... 😏
Great vid Alex!! Thanks for bringing these more forward to those that might have missed them. 👍👍🌴
My favoutite is the one from Fiona Tu and the one from Tanner Serpa
Scape 1 for me!
Nice work. How many different plant species can you fit in there before it gets too much?
Another vote for Tanner.
Tanner the goat 🐐
Excellent video as usual, one complaint is the pronunciation of "seiryu", "sayryu", not "searyu". I know it's a common mis-pronunciation, but you are so careful with your annunciation all the time and it just is a bit grating to hear it mispronounced everywhere in the U.S.
I love Tanner from seprasquad❤️❤️❤️
Scape 6 is my favorite
All are beautiful
i want them all
The number 5 from Hunter Koekner and Andrew Whang is very interesting ! Caught my eye !
As a Tanner's fan, I decided to not consider his orb because my opinion would have been biased
Tanners for sure
I think the choice of some plants is unfortunate
begonia will quickly grow too big
the orchid will rot in high humidity
All so beautiful
Are the Biorb not available in the U.S.?
The last one
I liked number 4 and 5!
Tanner’s was the best!!!
how is your tank going/
I love the last 2 setups. Had a biorb myself and returned it within a hour. The quality compared to its price isn't worth it.
Ok who the heck is Alex using serpas design logo??
Beautiful, but the price is ridiculous.......
How much
Serpa is my favorite.
Ok Tanner not Turner? Because Tanner is #1
#7
5
Wish I had the money....
Hard to say between the last 3, for me anyway. But I liked Tanner's the most...
#3
