Can i grow a real bioluminescent vivarium like Avatar? 

Wow i honestly didn't expect this video to do so well as it was my first video ever made. For those asking for an update, i am almost ready to post a follow up! Thanks again for watching!! It's my understanding that if a video gets 2000 likes, YT will begin suggesting it to a larger audience. Not sure if this is true or not but considering im almost at 1000 likes already, i would love to put that rumor to the test with this video, so if you wouldn't mind giving the video a like i would really appreciate it! Thanks again!

Need an update on this asap this is dope as hell

So excited to see how this turns out! Please look into succulents. I had an aloe vera that would emit a dark red / purple under UV. This might help build your terranium since theyre low maintenance

I’ve been thinking of the SAME PROJECT for years and I can’t even describe how much my jaw has dropped watching this

I hope we get the finished vivarium soon. The idea is amazing and I really can’t wait!

This is so creative and exciting! Looking forward to seeing the final product.

Passion Flower, Chinese Ground Orchid (but orchids can be tricky), Pink Lady’s Slipper, California Poppy, Lacy Phacelia, Bee balm flower all glow under UV light. Tonic water and vitamin B also glow. I know sometimes flowers absorb colors if you put the dye in their water, I wonder if they absorb fluorescent color too.

Not sure if this might make the broccoli useful but if you place it in water it blooms! ☺️ amazing amount of research btw!! Definitely subscribing for updates

having a little experience with photographing bioluminescence organisms. I know for a fact that this looks WAYY cooler in person. You still did a fantastic job capturing the glowing effects without editing. Good video dude this is so cool.

This is awesome.. got me all excited, cant wait to see what you come up with 🦎

GloFish and glowing mushrooms all possess the quality of bioluminescence. I have also heard about whole bioluminescent mini-forests up there in the Himalayas that have plants and small animals that all glow, and are located near saltwater lakes. Anyways looking forward to the completion of this project. Best of luck!

Can’t wait to see how this turns out. You should grow mushrooms in there!

Cant wait to see the rest of the process! You are great, this was really interesting

Thanks for this insight! I was looking for ideas to make something Avatar-looking in my room and your idea sounds great! I also love carnivorous plants and am so happy they too are bioluminescent.

I can’t wait for the update!!! This is such a cool idea!

You've got a lot of interesting projects in some areas I've yet to venture. Lots of tips and ideas to pick up in anticipation or just to get me on the road to a new hobby. One thing I'm still waiting on is a video on your leather edge treatment - I hope you have the time to share that with us going forward. Anyway, just want to say I really enjoy your videos and the range of topics you cover. Keep up the good work!

this is amazing i want to try this to, please update on the finished results :)

Came across this video while looking for vids on bias lighting. Great video, and lots of great information. I've built several vivarium myself, the idea of one naturally fluorescing is intriguing. As mentioned, the mineral Fluorite fluoresces (impurities in it, actually), and is actually how it got named. A like and subscribe in the hopes you will continue working on this great idea. Good luck to you, considering how much money has been made with Glow Fish this could turn you into a millionaire with a bit of effort and marketing! The world waits for no one, someone will get rich off this idea and I hope it is you but, again, the world waits for no one.

Good detail. This will be amazing!

I'm definetly gonna keep checking for more videos from you. Avatar 1 is my favorite movie and Avatar 2 was jaw-dropping.

Wow! I love it 😃 I can’t wait for the update!!!

I'm going to attempt an vatar pandora themed terrarium wth dendrobates tinctorius azureus dart frogs, and this video was such great inspiration! Thanks for posting!

I so hope you manage to finish the update. This is really fascinating. 👍👍👍

cannot wait for this update. Those glowing lichens inspired me to order my own uv flashlight to look around my area with :)

Hey just found your video, how goes the build??? Very curious. Are u putting any mushrooms in there? Looking forward to part 2 of this! Good job man makes be wanna get one of these going

Wow this opened up a whole new world for me! Have been planning to build a paludarium for a while, would it not be cool to have water in the bottom with fluorescent fish/shrimp/snails etc? 😃 Also hunting for fluorenscent things together with kids is a great activity, i will definitly show them the broccoli😁

An idea: if you can, find some UV light strips and paste them on the top of the vivarium, this way, you can simply turn it on at night and have a beautiful glowing scene of fungi, rocks, plants and small bugs all glowing together

This is such a cool idea, have you made any progress?

My left ear loved this video!

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I've seen glowing lichen on trees and the forest floor at night before at a friend's house when I was younger. No black light/UV needed! Not sure what kind it was, I was a teen and I'm 39 now. But just wanted to mention that some mosses and plants from the state like Washington and New York etc need to go through a dormancy period and get cold etc so may not be suitable for a vivarium. But this is a cool idea! There are bioluminescent mushroom kits you can purchase also to seed the vivarium but be careful with the mushroom pins and springtails and other vivarium cleanup crew as they like to eat fungus!

So exciting! I would love to see this actually come together, and I wonder if I can make a mini desktop Pandora terrarium 🤩

I would love to see the outcome please document and upload an update If you can.

I love this video man

You should check out Mark rober's video on a bioluminescent algae waterfall! Would be a cool thing to incorporate into your vivarium if possible

Please share your progress!💚 we’d love to see this!

Definitely need an update on this! I’ve been trying to do something similar

My left ear is loving this vid

I need an Update ASAP!

You've made me start thinking in a whole new "light".

This is absolute stunning. Please let us know if you’re going to achieve this project ❤

Looked on your channel with out seeing anything new. Curious how it's coming?

How are you progressing? Been keeping my eye on this

Bees and pollinators can see in the UV spectrum, a quick Google search shows that some flowers that bees like such as poppies reflect under UV

Have you heard of Glofish? It is a company that sells freshwater fish that are bioluminescent (although this is due to genetic engineering)

Because of this video I am sure I will find more will find more interesting videos here.

Have you made it yet??? So excited to see how it turns out!

i wonder if you could get bioluminescent mushroom spores to grow inside of a vivarium

Fun fact, super snow leopard geckos yellow parts of their pattern glow brightly under blacklight. I figured this out because of my scorpion tank next to my gecko tank

So excited to see what you create!

Is there a Part 2 or episode 2 of this build?

Check out panellus stipticus mushrooms. You can get live cultures mailed to your door.

u inspire me :D (says n artist)

I use a UV flashlight just like yours to hunt for tomato worms in the garden after dark.

Did you ever finish?

i decided when i buy a crested gecko (my first reptile) im gonna theme the tank like pandora, if i can ofc.

this is super cool but would it not be Bio-fluorescent as opposed to bioluminescent

How's it coming along??

Is this gonna happen at all?

WHERE THE UPDATE MAN

Aren't you concerned that using 365nm can cause damage to the plants and animals? I'm no expert but as far as I know you should use I protection if you are dealing with this wavelength for a few minutes I doubt that shining it directly on animals for like 10 minutes or something at a time will be good for them

Hay how did this turn out?

have you tried begonia or jewel orchid Macodes petola ? there a mushroom that glow in the dark , some morph of ball python does glow , btw just bring a uv torch light to a plant nursery and test it for free ,haha

where it at

Why isn't the audio in stereo?

Please do a part 2

Any updates ?

I think the sensitive plant - mimosa pudica is fluorescent

update?

Make glowing lake but it grow with sunlight and at nighttime you touch it glow

Hi been a year, any new updates?

How do things glow in nature if there is no UV light or anything? But we do need a UV light

You can make anything fluoresce, you just can't make it bioluminescent. So think corals not fireflies.

wish we could see the final build

no update???

update soon?

Ocean filled with glowing in the dark twilight zone

I have a small peice of ubrilite its arguably my favorite rock.

Yo what’s up with this project!!! Why isn’t there anything ahead

Update?

When are you starting?❤

We have a mushroom in my village that can glow

Where’s the update 😭

Need update!

I am trying to make one of these too! Has been in the works for a bit. Are there any black light bars to light a terrarium you recommend? I created a floating mountain terrarium and bought a van sky uv 365 nm flash light and it works great! Lots of central park moss fluoresces magenta! But I have so far tried two different brands of light bars to place over my avatararium and they don't make the moss glow at all. I thought black light was all the same but i guess i was wrong. have you run into this issue or is there a brand you recommend that makes light bars/strips i can put over the terrarium that will make the plants fluoresce? Thanks! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cFV85Z-n8qY.html

Update??

Floating rocks to mimic the Hallelujah mountains

I NEED AN UPDATE!!!!

I just made this 1k likes.

You found a lot of stuff that glow WITH UV light, but what about finding ones that, even with a few hour "charge", glow without a UV light? According to the information you shared about your research about animals being able to glow, NON OF THEM where explained to be able to glow without UV lights. this confused me because the articles you shared said that animals have developed the "ability" to glow, but no one has ever been able to just walk outside to find these special animals glowing on theire own in complete darkness. Even that pitcher plant cant "glow" without artificial light shining on it. Not that impressive nor anything like pandora unless they can do it completely on their own just as all the plants and animals in pandora do. Thats what iv been on the search for for so many years now.

my right ear is jealous

No leí todo, pero usa agua bioluminisente.

No one told you to get a decent mic?

Please re-upload the follow up..... It disappeared somehow? ;-)

Yo.... where's the vivarium

rip my right ear

Update or what brother

Where is the update!? come on your just teasing !

Have you checked eggs? 😂

Mushrooms?

the word you are looking for is fluorescence, not luminescence
