A few years ago my friend Weston had the opportunity to explore the Amazon River and tributaries in Columbia. While there, he saw Cardinal Tetras and other "aquarium fish" in their natural environment. After this experience, he dreamed to one day replicate the things he had seen, in the form of a biotope inspired aquarium.
However, he didn't know where to start, so it never came to fruition until we met. He helped build one of my ponds last summer and since then, we've been planning this build. I installed the tank in July and returned earlier this week. This video takes you on the journey of this tank came to be. Enjoy!

Happy Saturday SerpaSquad! I hope you're all doing well. I'm really excited to finally have the video done for this. It's been in the works since July. I waited because I really wanted to show an established tank. I'm working on builds for other friends as well and hope to make it a common theme. Should fill the gaps for animals that you want to see builds for that I don't want in my personal collection. Anyway, let me know what you think of the build! Have a great weekend 🌿

Hey Tanner I need help, I have a 36 gallon corner palidarium (you can see it on my channel) I want to have dumpy tree frogs but my family wants fire belly toads. Please respond soon!

One of my cardinal tetras is kind of falling and then spinning in a circle upward in a jerky way with single movement of his tail, should I be worried or is this old age seeing as I bought him as an adult so dont know how old he is

Unfortunately, I live far away from my beloved homeland and my favourite forest behind my parent's house. But thanks to you I managed to make two mini terrariums to keep with me and remind me of my home. :) Sometimes I open them to remind myself of all the beautiful smells of nature, it truly feels like I'm back home again!

I'm glad that terrariums have been able to bring you back to that place. They really are a special thing!

I got into aquariums after my girlfriend rescued a little male Betta. Which eventually led to me getting a 10g with some female bettas and chinese algea eater (not the best choice). But now I have a 29g sorority and a 40g breeder for my algae eater. My daughter loves the hobby as well. She's helped pick out and name the fish, give input on what plants to get and where to plant them and has brought so many wonderful memories. Your channel played a big part in that and I thank you for always bringing such beautiful pieces of living art to us all.

What a coincidence! A big planted tank in my pediatrician's office also captivated me as a young child. It was full of angelfish, and I fell in love!

@kayanvalentine9083 3 года назад

My mom & dad monitors this account, I'm only 2 years old. My dad has a chameleon, and a reptile tank and he is probably one of your biggest fans. He watches your videos daily. He wants me to be inspired and he watches it on my account so when I'm older, it pops up on my home page and I get to be inspired too by the beauty of nature and the passion of a human. Thank you. Dad: Yes, it's all true. Thanks Tanner. Cheers and thanks for the amazing videos. Its what I use for my relaxation and inspiration.

Love the pond and love that barn look stand. Also loved hearing about the pediatrician's aquarium. I was raised by a single working mom in apartments in the city, with no car. A boyfriend of my mother's took us to his camp when I was a few years old. A girl there showed me salamanders outside. I remember saying " eww, yuck, no I dont want to touch it" . She convinced me to hold one and I've loved all creatures since

@stevenwebb6874 3 года назад

I love the tank but even more so I love how you shout out fellow hobbyists. I'm sure they don't necessarily need it for business but the deed in itself show what a humble and respectful person you are. We need more of this in our lives!

You've definitely inspired. For one, I set up a native closed terrarium with an non-endangered native orchid feature. My wife said "it looks like our woods' which was exactly the goal. We are going to be moving away from the area we grew up and I wanted to take it with us. I've also decided to make a vivarium once I'm not moving for school so much. Possibly with geckos. I had no idea how enchanting they were.

@Darthbelal 2 года назад

THIS would be the kind of aquarium I'd love to have. The low lighting, the live plants, the fish getting along peacefully with each other, the tannins tinting the water. The kind of tank where its residents are stress free and just doing their thing. It's also a tank where if one looks closely, they'll see something new. Here are some Corydoras, there a shrimp over there are some snails. Add in the quiet hum of the pumps and that soil smell such tanks produce and you've got a winner.

Hi Tanner! So beautiful, as always! I was thinking: maybe next time you do a dual-sided tank you could use a long mirror on one side to enable you to view it from the other. You’d obviously still have to run back & forth, but I bet a mirror would solve a lot of that for you. 😉👍💕😎
