    I've had this one in concept for a little while now and am really excited to share it with you! What do you think of the result? Let me know! I personally think it has a cool vibe about it. I'm excited to see how it progresses. Anyway, enjoy the video and have a great day SerpaSquad!

      I'm usually amazed by not only your artistry but your presentation of information and video capture, however there's something special about this one, at least to me anyway. It's simplicity of aesthetic along with the different but fitting glass orbs coupled with the choice of sand/ rocks in the foreground really hits the mark for me. Well done!

    Side note for anyone making their own aqua/terrariums: pull the tape off immediately after you apply the silicone beads. This will ensure a clean line. If you wait for too long, the silicone becomes tacky and the edges of your silicone seams will peel up slightly. It won't harm the tank, but if you want a cleaner look, this is something I'd recommend. I learned it the hard way!

    This is so gorgeous. I really love how the orbs just look like they were set down in some water and are thriving. Your eye for scaping things up is spectacular. I just re-watched the upflow tank you made previous to this last night and this is truly a wonderful second go at it. You've inspired me to add water into my plant room. One day when I have the courage I'll give it a try. I don't know if I'll ever add animals- but I will totally have water features.

    Tanner, I've always enjoyed your creations, and your latest videos just take them to the next level! The set up itself is beautiful, and I really appreciate how you share the steps along the way. I know it is a lot of work to film separate shots of just the tools, and then go back and edit it music, but those details are noticed, and appreciated. I think it's humble and encouraging that you share that you've been doing this for a very long time, to help manage expectations for those newer to the hobby. Awesome build; those rasboras and snails are lucky!

    dude I found your account looking for a crested gecko vertical build and I saw the first Henry one you made when you had less than half your current subscribers, and it was super helpful, I converted a 30 gallon fish tank to vertical and initially only planted Pothos and dracaenas from Home Depot, but Its going 4 years strong with lots of new inhabitants such as a green anole, millipedes, snails, dubia roaches, a variety of springtails and isopods, flatworms, and beneficial fungi and mushrooms along with mosses and my favorite part is an orchid thats doing surprisingly well for a a crested gecko jumping all over the place lol. The devitrivores are becoming the most interesting part to me, how all of the plants and inhabitants synergies to form a natural forest ecosystem, I haven't had to clean the tank once and it looks pristine, and they make the soil extremely fertile essentially producing compost. The only maintenance I ever do is trim the Pothos leaves and put them back in, over four years its vines have grown deeply rooted and completely covering the background wall and its an amazing effect having sturdy living vines waffles(gecko) loves them. Its also good that the "bug" population is so high because it provides the lizards with the experience to naturally hunt. Since I watched your video, Ive been hooked and enjoy watching your builds. How much you have progressed especially in your vivarium builds is amazing its inspiring to seeing how innovative you can be. Keep up the great content

    Have you ever considered more of an aquaponics type setup, with edible plants as part of the scape?

    2.) With the glass orbs; how you keep the inside/outside clean? I assume on the outside you'll just use something like a magic eraser to wipe it down regularly, but how do you keep the inside of the glass from being covered with algae and other biofilm?

I really love how you positioned the natural design of the wood shapes to repeat itself moving your eye through the tank horizontally.
