Nano Eco Cube (Cheap & Easy DIY Paludarium) 

It was awesome being able to get outside again to collect materials and I think this one turned out great! Probably one of the best examples yet of what's possible simply using things found in the yard (or on the side of the road lol). What do you think? Let me know and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Thanks for sharing this video. My wife of 36 years passed away 12 days ago and I'm lost still not finding my way. Your videos are peaceful.

I don’t know who’s more impressed, me or the deer 🦌

"That ain't goin no where" killed me 😂

You have some very cool millipedes in your backyard! Maybe you can make a video on the ''terrarium animals'' you can find there

One of my most favorite parts about your videos is showing the trial and error periods. It’s really encouraging for someone like me who tends to give up when things don’t turn out like I had planned. Great content 😊

projects like this are what keeps me coming back - massive flash 8ft tanks etc. have a wowo factor but the small things anyone could do always look great in your hands

Gonna be recommending this video to customers at work who are looking for inspiration on starting a paludarium!! This is genuinely a beautiful build, great great great work.

Oh Tanner, please do a LIVE build along! like Bob Ross! The Joy of SerpaDesign 🐸

I really like seeing the waterfall. Your usual drips are cool, but seeing the water just fall down the rocks is lovely as well. Great build as usual 💚

I love these kinds of videos where you build using a budget.

Imagination and Creativity = Priceless. 😎👍💯

Yes!! Finally a build with flowing water you can actually see flowing ❤

Really nice how much detail you're able to fit in such a tiny space.

The first video of yours I ever saw was the Free Terrarium build. This makes me feel a lot the same way - an inexpensive, accessible way to bring nature indoors. I'm so glad you shared this with us!

Man your work is pure art 👌

I have a millipede that looks just like that,. Along with some tiny snails and a cute little slug. They came in with some of my plants 😊. I miss this part of living in Minnesota. Most of these are not available in my area of Arizona 😢, so I have to order. I love your projects, they are always so cool😊

Your the reason I’m creating my own crested gecko build, love the videos your an inspiration 😊

you inspired me the beginning of this year to make a terrarium. 4 months later its still going strong and it has a small centipede in it!

i love how you decorate all your tanks they all look so beautiful☘️

I love watching your builds! I'd love to see more DIYs using minimal/manual tools and supplies that can mostly be found at a dollar store. Ideally a flower pot pond for a patio that can be stocked with fantail goldfish (that's what I want to make now I finally have outdoor an space) 😊

The "that ain't going nowhere" outfit and joke was so unexpected 🤣 had to give it a few replays. The scape came out great!

Other ppl have said it, but I love that he puts all his ideas in the video, especially the ones that didn't work as intended.

The paludarium looks incredible. Keep up the good work!

Beautiful work as always Brother

I love taking rips and watching your vids

I really appreciate how much consideration you put into your builds for the animals' comfort and needs. Yes, it would be easier just to make it look good, but you go the extra mile to make it not just beautiful, but a true home for the critters.

love the appearance of SerpaDad. So proud

Holy carp man! I bought 2 of these at $20ea 5 months ago and turned them into mini aquariums for rehab & inverts...cool to see you got the same tanks and turned them into paludariums! I'm upgrading the rehab fish of these tanks to a few 12 gal bowfronts that haven't been sold since the 90's and wasn't sure what to do with these tanks afterward...nice idea :)

Love it

I've been following you for years. But i come back for the enunciation. ❤

So cool! Wearing my Serpa hoodie right now as a matter of fact

You have inspired me to build my own cost efficient paludarium

Once again you've killed it. Amazing creation and awesome content.

Honestly love seeing your local floral and fauna set ups you do! Hope you do more like these to give people ideas on scapes of their own!

as always. i love it. you bring some joy to my life. please more enclosed ecospheres

Tanners builds are always so awesome!

Im so excited for the leafy street collab

Best episode yet!!

I'm always amazed at what you're able to do. It's so inspiring. To answer your question. I'm upgrading my hermit crabs' enclosure soon and some of the more advanced ideas I have, I've learned from you and a few other RU-vidrs. A small waterfall feature is one of the ideas I have. It will be for their freshwater pool.

This one looks great! I’ve gotten pretty into nature design, and your channel has been incredibly inspiring.

I could just watch it for hours. What a joy to have in your house!

How gorgeous! Thanks for taking us on this journey

Love this.

LOVE THESE TUTORIALS!!! This might be the first one I try. Keep up the good work ^_^

Love this new style of video !!

I love that you show your challenges threw your builds it helps learn even though things aren't perfect your can still achieve perfection by not giving up...thanks for your inspiration.

Love the idea of easy builds like this for beginners. Your usual stuff is great, but it's way beyond my capacity.

Might be a good idea to do tutorials on how to make different equipment for tanks and palidariums for cheap. Stuff like lights and even tanks

I followed your instructions in making my first forest terrarium and I love it so much. Maybe I should give this a try too.

The little millipedes are so cute! One of my favorite animals you've added so far

Mmm something wonderful. Thank you for the inspiration

One of the best parts of my week, a new video from you

You definitely make it seem doable for anyone with any amout of experience. I like that!

What an incredible and inspiring build!

So beautiful!! Thank you for sharing this amazing skill

So beautiful and peaceful! I love it!

Tanner your videos are so inspiring, thank you for introducing me to nature design. It’s become so positive for me and my self confidence I have so much fun creating and it’s all because of you! :)

Wonderful video!! And I love seeing your sense of humor sprinkled in!

Such an amazing use of those small all-in-one tanks!! Definitely super inspiring!

Really nice! I have a plan for something similar at a larger scale over the summer, but for this weekend it’s a small 2g submerged bowl and a smaller open top cylinder moss terrarium. Mine will NOT be as fantastic as yours, but I keep trying. 😊

@SerpaDesign, the way you play with nature is mesmerizing!

Tanner, you are so fascinating! You keep on coming up with better ideas. That seam tape would be perfect for my blue tongue skink's enclosure.

Great build Tanner! Perfect for spring….

That looks amazing, would never have thought the plastic bag as a liner will work so well. I tried to make one carving foam, looked good but never as good as yours.

Another amazing build!

Thank you for a budget friendly and beautiful build 😊

great build. beautiful as always. you are a real inspiration.

This video came at the perfect time! I was about to attempt a ten gallon paludarium similar to your rubber ducky isopod build, and I had always wanted to include a water feature. I had tried time and time again since I found your channel about 7-8 years ago. But now with the advice from this video I think I can do it! I plan to get some millipedes, like the large one you found in the woods. Thanks so much, you have always been one of my biggest inspirations! ❤

I have a spare 20cm cube and might try something similar. Looks incredible.

Looks amazing

This is excellent Thank you so much serpa! I can't wait to replicate something like this. Even if it is just for some Zen in my room and growing some small hydrophilic plants with some isopods I think it would be amazing

This is probably one of my favorite videos and I’m so excited to try this with my 5 gallon marine land tank

This was such a dope video! These builds where you use local materials and animals are definitely my favorite!

I really enjoyed this video 😊 thanks again

Absolutly inspiring❤

I could watch these forever

Excellent as always !!!

Youve inspired me to take up nature design! I'll be making my own terrariums soon while preparing to house my boa in a more natural enclosure, bioactive if i can make it!

I wish I had 1/4 of your craft, this is just beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

Beautiful work. I know you enjoyed foraging for mosses in your yard and local area. I think moss is one of the wonders of the natural world. I've been enchanted by it since I was a little girl in NYC long ago. It will thrive, lush and green, from nothing but grit and powdered dog poop blown into a crack in the sidewalk, watered by rain.

So cool Tanner!

I LOVE your use of humour in your videos! 🤩

Lol the "the that ain't going nowhere" bit is the best. 😂

Wow ! Thank you 🙂

Very pretty! Really like your builds! I would totally put a couple small fish in there btw!

1:58 that was great :D

looks awesome as always. i know budget builds are your bread and butter, but someday i'd love to see you make the most expensive build possible. not something enormous, just medium sized and with super premium materials

Love it!! Im literally watching this video while making a paludarium based on what I've learned from you as we speak. Same as this, very budget concious lol - thrifted just about everything except the glue.

Love your videos!

$43 for something that beautiful is a great deal no question

Holy mily, i love this!

Huge fan & love the videos! With that being said living in Texas I want to SCREAM whenever you’re just grabbing moss from your backyard 🥲

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing

You should do a weather loach setup. Coolest aquarium fish ever

deer jumpscare

Hey Tiana here's some interesting news for you I just found out that Josh's frogs are going to be carrying more than one species of Springtail that's right the laws are changing they're going to be able to carry some more tropical stuff and more temperate stuff than just the white spring teals so if you try to sing white little specs in your bavariums and terrariums and palladariums and bioactive animal enclosures you may now be able to get red ones and orange ones and brown ones and gray ones and that's from Josh's frogs in the next couple of months are going to be start introducing them along with even more isopods and the isopods they're going to have her in little almost like Delicup containers but they can last up to 8 to 12 weeks they said I would push fast 8 or 9 But at least they've got more varieties now and they're prepackaged so that all you have to do is just order them and they shift them out and they said there's usually more than what the count is plus babies so that's kind of cool that they're going to be able to do that for us people here in the US. that was funny even said oh there's people over there collecting isopods now like they're pokemon. so check it out when it comes out I would love to see a bio active enclosure with different kinds of Springtails and isopods then what's currently been up on the market just the white Springtails they're cute They're fun to watch they're easy to see at least but they kind of get pegged off quickly. especially if they're in with other animals you know frogs lizards god knows what else.

I started a terrarium because of a cute little millipede. ❤ Thanks for this beautiful build and showing us the ups and downs of it. I’m thinking of redoing my paladarium (again). The soil keeps getting waterlogged even though it’s up above the water line. (False bottom with screen) I think this hobby is all about problem solving. lol. But it’s also so rewarding. God bless and have a great day.

The zoom in on the deer cracked me TF up each time 🤣🤣🤣

G.O.A.T.!
