So I thought of a crazy idea the other day and decided I had to give it a try! It didn't come easy, but after working through the project, I figured out how to make it work. I really like the results as well! What do you think? Let me know in the comments and leave the video with a thumbs up if you liked the project.
Also, be sure to check out my terrarium builds playlist to see what else is possible with this art form. There is so much you can do and it's so much fun!

I have to say, I watched several tutorials on dismantling fish tanks, including watching Tanner do it a few times. Others use the really narrow putty knife and a razor blade, and I tried that with some luck. Then I decided to use a razor scraper and it was so much better... now I, too, am using the razor scraper for everything.

This looks like something you would find in a high end office of some kind. You could literally make a few of these and they would easily sell for a couple hundred dollars a piece (adjusting price based off how much it cost to build it of course) It's an amazing centerpiece for any office or den area. I keep saying this with all of your builds, but this one has impressed me more than I previously thought was possible! You've outdone yourself yet again!

Would love to see you take this idea a step further and make this into an "at a glance" weather forcast. You could add some LEDs, use a raspberry pi to get the lastest weather forcast and control the pump and leds for real time weather effects. E.g. Thunderstorms? Flicker the LEDs and activate the pump. Warm weather? Nice warm yellow LED. Could go even further and incorporate a mist machine for when it's foggy out. All this might not fit into this build though. Anyway, awesome build! Keep up the good work!

Looks great,love your tanks! Did an 8x10 foot rain box installation yrs ago for an art show. If you use a strobe light and adjust the settings it helps make the rain look more real. Also used adjustable drip nozzles on a water line for added control, front could rain slower with bigger drops while the back was set up for more of a downpour and added depth.
