It Took 2 Years to Build This Massive Jungle Aquarium
Рет қаралды 178,571
Ай бұрынWhen I broke the 350 gallon paludarium back in 2022, I didn't expect it to take this long to replace. I had a very specific aesthetic that took awhile to craft and time got the best of me. I also wanted to let it season for a good while before showing it here. There's more to come and this tank is not what it appears to be.
A huge thanks to everyone who provided products that helped make this build possible (none of these were provided with a paid promotion or endorsement).

I can't wait to show you what's next for this one. It has some incredible features that take it over the top. What do you think about it so far? Since it's the spiritual successor to the old 350 I wanted it to have a similar jungle feel, just with more scaping and aquatic plants. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

This my weekly ritual to watch my favorite channel. The oak tree’s wild twists and bend add movements to the layout. I always love how you do layout. I also like the quality of Buce Plant.

Also, while I have the chance,I would like to say that your content is so amazing that it could easily be stretched into 20 or 30 minute videos and I would still love it! A nice break from the short form content that is all the rage these days 😊

Totally agree, I would love to see longer videos. : )
@ashleeknowlton5805 Ай бұрын
I would also love to see longer videos. But I get why he keeps them short. It's a lot more practical from a production standpoint.

I admire your desire to create these near perfect habitats for the animals ❤ I believe that every pet lover/animal lover should strive to do the same.. or don't bring so many animals home if you can't give them adequate housing! I know.. that's unrealistic.. but on a serious note.. if you limit yourself to one or two exhibits.. you CAN enrich them over time! Yes.. I have felt sorry for many animals that I've seen in captivity 😢 Especially if they were caught in the wild!!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.. ☺️ Can't wait for the upcoming videos ❤️

I have been so invested into your channel, series and videos that I just wish I could do what you do one day. I don't currently have the ability to create my own type of aquarium/vivarium/paladarium etc. But through watching your videos I believe when I get the chance I would be quite sufficient in creating a healthy environment for life. Thankyou so much for your fantastic videos Tanner! You are the best and most informative KZfaqrs in your trade of small ecosystems builders and I appreciate your work immensely.

You can start small with a 1 gallon jar while you dream of giant tanks! I started learning about making balanced enclosed ecosystems from watching the earliest Serpa videos. I live in a 400sf cabin and I'm seriously disabled so I don't have a lot of room or resources to put toward them. Four years ago I started with a 2 gallon acrylic aquarium and a bunch of stuff I found in my yard or near my house. I would love to do bigger but what's within reach is quite awesome and has taught me a lot.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="118">1:58</a> LMAO Tanner's blip into existence <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="128">2:08</a> as the profile pic for the channel killed me. Honestly I think the cameraman is at least half right; I think it'd be super cool to see you proudly in front of one of your beautiful setups as the official pfp - but I think his point was actually the clear look of joy / relief / happiness in your expression exactly at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="123">2:03</a>, as that's typically my expression while watching your new uploads haha. Love the art Serpa, you're killin' it!

So glad to see a resurrection of the old Paludarium, even if it’s a wee bit different. The hardscape looks amazing-you have both a skilled eye for placement plus your experience-all those years of on-the-job-training! The plants, while seemingly infinite, really rock the joint! Oh no, a cliffhanger! How can you! I MUST binge!❤
