Underwater Luminous Quartz Crystal Mine for Aquatic Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 тра 2024
- Last year, I made one of my favorite setups, the Crystal Gems Aquarium ( • Glowing Crystal Gems C... ). It was a lot of fun to build, despite being limited by circumstance and materials. Because of those things, I've always felt as thought it could be better.
I knew there were ways I could reimagine this idea. This time, I'd include driftwood and plants alongside real luminous quartz crystals. Additionally, I had a spare DIY IKEA Aquarium on hand that was a perfect footprint ( • Making The Best and Ea... ).

I had a lot of fun with this concept last year and wanted to revisit it since. Including different elements and using real quartz crystals was the obvious direction to go. I’m very pleased with the result as well. What do you think, though? I know it doesn’t look natural, but the “fantasy” builds are a great change. Enjoy the video, and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
First comment and like
i really like this look, ive been wanting to make one themed after the ARK survival evolved Aberration map. and this video answered some questions on how ill make certain things work.
Hi, Tanner! I always loved the original crystal aquarium, it was just so different from what you usually do.
Just did that blue crystals thing but in a lego themed tank. Looks cool had bubbles coming up through the crystal too! An underwater lego person science station and an overgrown octopus. The rest was regular stuff. The real plants made it look awesome!
I agree this is a great improvement to the glass. I just picked up a 37g and was deciding weather to do fresh or salt macro. I might give this a shot with something a bit more to add to the magic😊
All "natural" designs are great but when done well, fantasy imaginings are every bit as good. This is beautiful. The fish are perfect for this set up. Love it
At first, it sounded like you're about to criticize The hell out of this man.
Gd wish my video had gotten this much attention I feel like my idea was stolen
The Tetra's with their shimmering blue stripe go perfectly with the glowing blueish crystals. Gorgeous build!

I wouldn’t mind seeing a few more fantastical set ups. You do such a good job of integrating nature and fantasy
It's pretty epic
While the crystals make the tank supercool on their own, I think the way you implemented two 'piles' and bridged them with spiderwood was done exceptionally well and deserves a highlight of its own. I'm really impressed, it's been a while that I had such a strong urge to make something similar on my own. Truly inspirational!
After spending the morning dismantling my tank and rescuing my neon tetras after my daughter put half a container of shrimp pellets into my tank, this is exactly the inspiration I needed to try something new instead of tossing in the towel and rehoming my fish.
the banjo catfish is an amazing addition, i've never seen a small fish with such a unique shape
the aesthetic seemed incoherent at first with white quartz and black stone and the brown wood, but the plants really tied it all together and made it seem natural. makes sense, given you've been doing it for over a decade!
I thought that too! I'm going to have to get one of those guys now.
Right? Banjo catfish are awesome!! We have one at my work (fish and reptile store) and I love him so much
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more visually appealing hardscape before water, plants, or anything else is even paired with it. Just seeing the finished hardscape alone is beautiful and seeing it with plants adding even more color is awesome.
It looks so so cool. The plants really elevated the look and the quartz’ luminescence is amazing!
Wow, Serpa Design! Your crystal cave tank is an absolute masterpiece! The attention to detail and the way you've created a stunning underwater world is truly inspiring. I'm in awe of the way you've combined art and aquascaping. Keep up the fantastic work, and please keep sharing your incredible designs with us
Agreed!
This is my favourite set up so far. I love the wood arching across the tank with all the plants. Beautiful.
I'd image with all the lights off in the room and just the crystals, it would be pretty epic!
I really enjoy your take on more experimental and fantasy themed tanks because you make them look more natural (despite it not looking like that in the wild) and not like kitsch at all!
I build custom enclosures for my snakes I love creating jungles in my house .I've learned a lot of tricks and new ideas from your channel thank you
It reminds me of the first Avatar, like the forests at night. I don't recall things lighting up at night in the Way of Water though. Lost opportunity, if you ask me. It's magical. Thanks for the amazing wholesome content. It's my favourite when you have plants above water too. It just adds so much to an already beautifully composed aquarium. Why would you not, unless you are in love with fish that like to unalive themselves by jumping out. lol
水晶クラスターと観葉植物の夢のようなレイアウトにうっとりしてしまいました😊 本当にありがとうございます💚
One would think that you'd eventually run out of ways to "wow" us with what you can put into a reasonably sized glass tank. One would be wrong.
Holy wow this is gorgeous. Literally breathtaking, my breath actually caught for a second when you revealed the final look with the tetras included.
I know, it's the hardest part but most fantastic too
Unbelievable Tanner! This looks simply stunning what an amazing idea!!
This was one of his best builds yet! Tanners design really stands out from the rest
Out of your whole channel I think this is my favorite build. The way you clustered the crystals makes them look like they are naturally growing from the rock. The tetras really set off the glow too! The plant selection above the rim is also sublime. Well done sir!!
The tetras make it!
Using the filter material to anchor the plants into the right areas is brilliant. I see beneficial bacteria colonizing the filter media and thus providing direct access to the nitrites and nitrates broken down. That’s very smart
This looks beautiful! The crystal look like glowing lotus flowers and make it look all the more peaceful and enchanting.
The brown sand is my favorite. The contrast between the black rock and the blue lights and green plants really pops! Such an amazing design!
I have been dying to see you do something including quartz! This does not disappoint in the slightest! I hope we'll see you do more in the future with different kinds of rocks. Possibly the occasional crystal again too. ❤
When fantasy meets reality, something beautiful happens. I love that tank set up.
the potential for a salt water aquarium makes these types of pieces even more mind blowing.
This channel pretty consistantly makes the best looking fish tanks on the internet. Really inspiring!
An incredible design with excellent execution. I would love to see some more experimental fantastic designs like these now and then, the naturalistic approach and your experience with building more traditional designs really grounds this piece as a plausible aquascape that looks natural enough even with its fantastic elements. Great work as always, Tanner!
You are the only one that truly disrupts the aquascaping environemnt! Always different stuff. Well done!
Black neons were a flawless choice. Perfectly reflecting the green and purple! Superb artwork as always Tanner.
ha, I like your avatar
Its like gazing through a portal into another world where peace, hope and serenity still exists 😵💫
Your builds are mesmerizing, sir.
Black neons are awesome fish
As others have said, every piece of this is amazing, but the raw hard scape is really stunning. Tanner is absolutely a master and an artist in design!
This is one of my favorite tanks you've made. I love it! The crystals combined with the plants looks stunning
This is by far one of the coolest aquariums I've seen EVER!!!! This inspired me to make my own terrarium, wish me luck!
You always treat your animals with such care and love and that’s why you are one of my favourite UA-camrs
I watched Disney's Atlantis recently, and the crystals remind me of the ones they have in Atlantis. This feels like a miniature fantasy cave, especially with the catfish that adds a sense of scale.
OHH good point!
Such a cool set up. And baby fish!
I loved the old crystal gems aquarium that you made, but this one really does bring it to the next level. I love the different mood lightings and the clumps of crystal really remind me of the crystal clumps in an old indie game called sea shine. Overall, this really is just an outstanding looking tank and also one I will be pulling heavy inspiration from for my 20 gallon aquarium.
I love the crystals.. feels like this setup is part of an enchanted jungle that is long forgotten. Beautiful tank 🩷👏🏽
The previous crystal tank was my favorite tank you've ever done. I'm so excited for this one too!
It looks so so cool, this is one of
my favorites ! The neon tetras go so well with the design it's perfect
Hey I wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your videos. I found you channel at a hard time in my life and they bring me much needed peace watching you out these setups together. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next design.
Stunning... You have me wanting to have an aquarium again. Aquariums in my day were nothing like this.
The original tank was one of my favourites, I’m so happy you made another one! ❤
It's absolutely astonishing, surreal, and dream-like. I would love to have a freshwater tank like this one! Amazing work!
My dude... This is insanely good. I love it!
I love these videos so much, I’ve been watching you for 3 or 4 years now and I always get excited when you post. Thank you.
Hands down my favorite set up you’ve ever done! Your creativity is off the charts!!!
You're absolutely killing it man. You've really outdone yourself! Hope the finger gets better soon
Hello Tanner… I must say that of all your amazing tank designs, this one just may be my favorite.
A great way to boost the aquarium fish immune system and keeping them stress free by adding illuminating clear crystals.
Keep creating and inspiring others to do great things in life.
This right here is probably my DREAM fish tank, it's absolutely stunning!
Brobably one of your greatest creations
So pretty! The brown sand was a great idea! Good contrast 🙌🏽
I thought that too - I hope do develop my skills like that too - pretty amazing
Dude, IMO a Superman's castle of solitude theme tank would be perfect for quartz crystals only tank. No rocks, woods, plants, just all white quartz crystals and sand. All white/transparent fish too.
That was reading-a-fantasy-novel fun.
I wasn’t sold until I saw the plants go in. That was the Ah-hah! moment. It all made sense. It looks like a fantasy forest with the illuminated crystals and big, lush plants. The only thing I think that’s missing is the cave element from the first one. I’d love to see you go back and create a cave setup. Doesn’t have to have crystal lights, just some kind of cave layout, perhaps for so,e interesting kind of animal that likes water and land and would enjoy a big cave. I think it would be a real test of your skill to get the whole set up looking like a cave instead of just one section. I always enjoy everything you make and watching you create is so calming.
That turned out *much* better than the previous design. It has a lot of Avatar feel to it, with the arching structures and the glowing aspects.
You're designs are always inspiring but this one makes me want to break out a 10 gallon and buy crystals immediately
I think the crystal tank came out beautiful! The crystals add a wonderful surrealism to the tank. Love the fish you added as well. I've never seen a Banjo catfish before. You can really see how it got it's name. Thank you for sharing another awesome build!
This honestly might be my favourite build you've done! I love the crystals in the tank!
your videos always bring me so much peace and comfort. love your ideas thank you for sharing :)
I instantly fell in love with the catfish. Also I to prefer the natural look, but these experimental designs are really cool.
This is absolutely stunning! The black neon tetras look really good in the glow of the crystals, and I was also pleased to see you added a banjo! I have two of them myself, they are always interesting because you don't see them much, and when you do it's like finding a new fish in the tank!
Tanner, this is one of my favorites. It’s really gorgeous!! The Catfish is perfect.
Ive been watching your vids since forever. Finally decided to make my own channel. I only hope my enclosures come out as amazing as yours do.
This is by far the coolest aquarium you have ever built.
Favorite. Tank. Ever.
Love the different designs. The neons are such a perfect choice as inhabitants. If you ever did a third rendition, it woud be cool to see an entirely quartz hardscape.
I love all your builds, but I feel like the inhabitants of this one was perfect! The tetras do a really good job capturing the light from the crystal with their blue bands and translucent bodies and the banjo catfish looks perfect in the substrate! Much love
The black neon tetras look fantastic in this set up! Beautifully done.
Thank You for sharing. I'm in my sixties now but I love sci-fi and I'm still a dreamer, you created a beautiful world in a confined space that I could get lost in!!
If you make a saltwater tank you should try this again, because many corals glow under uv and the crystals would blend right in😊
This is absolutley gorgeous! The lava rock and ingenious way you created the light crystal sculptures and placement of the chosen plants is brillant. I have wanted to create something special for my 16 gallon square tank and am totally got my brain working on an idea inspired by this . Thanks for all the fish and creative ideas you provide. Not only do explain your techniques, but communicate in a very easy to follow way. Kudos!
you never cease to impress me with your skill and artistry. always very inspiring 😃
You know Tanner, everything you do is magical!
thank you so much for sharing your visions and realities with us.
I'm a subscriber, I know your reputation as an artist, I saw the thumbnail.. I am still flabbergasted by your talent to build such amazing designs for your projects! Thanks for everything you do, I know every time I make a new enclosure for any of my animals I am heavily inspired by your work.
It’s beautiful Tanner ! 🌺💚🙃
Truly mesmerizing aqua scape, I love this design you came up with. What a Stellar project 🌟
I Love this. It looks like an ethereal world with magic crystals growing from the ground. Gorgeous and sooooo much fun
This one is so much better, plants really make your builds.
I'm a crystals person and I literally yelled "NOOOO!!!!" when you broke that big Quartz tower. 🤯😊 But this turned out absolutely incredible and I think ive got a new dream tank setup for my future dream South American community tank. 💖💖💖 I loved the original design and I love this version too! 💖💖💖
This is awesome! I was under the impression that gemstones weren't safe for use in aquariums, so it's cool to know that quartz is okay. This turned out absolutely stunning!
Maybe not all gemstones, but quartz is pretty much the same as glass, so...
You have created a truly magical world for them 👍
Absolutely STUNNING!
Outstandingly unique and stunning, wow
It's so so beautiful. The driftwood has a flow that makes it stand out. It's amazing!
I absolutely love this with the crystals. I also like the natural environments but this is mystical and so lovely.
Your work never disapoints i love your vids and i always can relax and sit back while im watching❤
I love the catfish
I love the brown, black and green colours together in this tank👌🏻
Another elegant project! It looks beautiful, and the fish seem happy (which is the most important factor). I'd say a big success.
This might be my favorite of all your creations.
Love this set up😘👍🏻 I'm stealing your light and crystal designs for my waterfall fountain on my balcony. The fountain rock looks volcanic grey in color and has pockets for plants in places. But I wanted something more to highlight the water drop areas with lights, and your crystals are a perfect idea...Thanks Tanner. 😎
I'm not really a lover of art. But your art is fantastic and watching you make it is mesmerizing. Don't stop bro. You rule.
Your tank looks like viewing the sky from underwater and in a cave. Very cool
Amazing 🙌 you really nailed all the updates and modifications since the last setup and it really paid off! 10/10 on this one, one of my favorites yet! Keep it up! Thanks for sharing 🙏
This is easily one of my favourite tanks you have created. Nice job.
Man, what a gift to be so creative. Love this channel!❤️
creativ but still classy! well done, very exciting design!
I love this even more than the original, more plants was definitely the right call
