G’day mate I was thinking you spent days poking roots through tiny holes I never thought of the cotton to easy, top video and it looks awesome you Didda goodda on the doa
I have a question about the glass. What is the gap between the bottom glass and the top glass,? empty space. Very nice arrangement. Greetings from Poland.
@@BlakesAquatics OK I understand. I was more concerned with how much free space is there? I just want to make similar glass. I need dimensions :) Thanks.
Groovy idea. Few thoughts. - Wonder if any non glazed ceramic vase would work (fired or even air dry). - A selfie ring light that youtubers often use could be great for even growth around the column. - Ebay "ultrasonic donut". You'll see little USB floating foggers. You could place one inside the column. have it attatched to a timer to go off for a minute every so often. You'd have to refill the column more often or add a sneaky air line auto water topup from the light (of perhaps hidden by tallish plant/disguised as vines). The fogger looks cool, great for humidity and allows more vessel and lid variations while still keeping plants moist. - Peppermint spray is really common amongst gardeners and indoor plant enthusiasts. Usually as a pest deterrent. You can buy it for a couple of $ at many places. Use it every other week (too often can be a problem for some plants). plus simply refill the fert spray bottle with aquarium plant fert diluted with decriminalised water (full strength could burn non submerged leaves).
Hi Blake😊 I know this video is 3 years old now but was wondering if you still have this terrarium set up. Most you tube channels that feature this style of ceramic planter find the whole thing very high maintenance. Would love to know your experience and if you would still recommend it. Many thanks and Merry Christmas 👍
Thanks for asking as well. I was just about to drop some money on this but I will just use dooa's ceramic mounting plates for my orchids. My house is at 70% humidity on its own by the ocean so I dont think I need an enclosure@@daveo544
That looks ace. Would make a really nice gift for someone.
absolutely!
yeah and that someone can could be me....
Look great little project blake 👍👍
Thanks Cheve 👌
I have enough trouble with submerged plants let alone emersed. But dose look good. Can’t wait to see it grown out.
Emmersed is easy, no algae or snail or fish to mess them up
Blake's Aquatics I’m lucky not to have snails yet
niceeeeeeee! I want one! hahaha sometimes I think I need to take a break from your videos. they influence me to buy things too much.
shut up and take my money
@@BlakesAquatics your gonna give me your money so i can buy the stuff that you buy! YEAH FOR SURE! hahahhaha
@@BodgieFromStraya ive given you plenty already young one
@@BlakesAquatics yeah thats a fair point hahahahaha

Hi Matthew, its just a design element of the Dooa neo line of tanks, supposed to give a minimalist feature, its just a raised bottom though, just air.
@@BlakesAquatics OK I understand. I was more concerned with how much free space is there? I just want to make similar glass. I need dimensions :) Thanks.
@@MatthewStan id say an inch or 2.5cm of space
@@BlakesAquatics Thank you very much.
Might try this but with a piece of old log, as log decays it probably provides nutrients at the same time
Thats a great idea 👍
Hello! Do you have an update on this after a year or so? I’m interested to see how it worked for you! I have one myself
Still have it set up on my desk next to me as i type this. Trick is to definitely keep moss trimmed, avoid large plants and keep water topped up

Bunch of ripper suggestions there! Giving me heaps of ideas
Looks great, you don't do things by halves, I want one haha, woukd that peppermint fertiliser spray be good for a dry start??
I have wondered that but haven't researched yet if it would affect fish once water goes in.

It has had a few iterations. Still running but yes quite high maintenance
@@BlakesAquatics Thanks Blake 🙏

With the light the lid does not close completely right , how do you keep the humidity then
Use some tape or cling film
Does water not leak from this terra base after some time water has been filled?
Yes thats what is supposed to happen. Its a very slow leak
@@BlakesAquatics yup I'm making these. But I can't control the rate of water flow. It makes a puddle of water below it. I work with ceramics.
@@TheBestgoku thats awesome 😄
thumbs up
Is the center of the cylinder to be filled with water ? Just to get it started or does it stay filled with water.
Always full
I’ve been looking at the dooa range for a while the neo air should have a lid shouldn’t it ?
Doesnt come with it unfortunately
May I know what moss is that? Java?
Its a mix of peacock and java moss
Moist 😂
👌 you were straight onto it
