THE BIGGEST DIY ENCLOSURE BUILD ON THE YOUTUBE 

PART 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YTStceJS2cI.html

I'm not sure if it helps but, SerpaDesigns may be a good person to look into. He's lovely and does loads of natural vivariums with live plants, he does aquariums and loads more!

Your dad is so cute! Always great to have an extra pair of hands 🙂 can’t wait to see it finished

I've been waiting for this paludarium build for so long! I'm so excited! It's looking great so far. The one thing I will point out is that I don't like those 2 big black plates you screwed to the top because they cover so much. I think you should either have glass panels, or just removal those support bars and just have even bigger doors.

As someone who has done a couple years of stucco, I was so happy to see when you started to use a trawl to spread the concrete... it was painful watching you trying to splash it onto the wall lol.

So cool you were able to build this with your father! Gotta love the bonding moments!

So cool! Glad the process is going well! Cheers from U.S.!

Sounds like a challenge for SerpaDesign!

This project has got me absolutely cheesing to see the next video. I’m so excited for you my man, this is going to be an incredible journey seeing how it develops!

I love how dedicated you are to your projects and passions. Always cheers me up watching your videos !

I respect that Dedication this project and your other projects in the past 💯

I am super stoked about the new massive enclosure.

Whoop, whoop! The time has finally come 🎉

Your Dark Den is becoming your own garden of Eden, I'm very envious but far more am I happy for you Petko....

Oh damn, that’s a 6,000litre enclosure, that’s wild! I’m excited to watch these videos, seeing AntsCanada’s huge vivarium has gotten me excited to see more huge enclosures.

I'm looking forward to the final results. Imagine how many plastic skulls you could fit in there!

It's going to be EPIC! Can't wait to see how you turn a space in your basement, into a beautiful huge enclosure!

It's going to look amazing 😍 Thank you Petko's dad for the small comedy moment 😆

You are great at creating videos of building enclosures.

The most inventive award goes to you for this. I wouldn't have ever thought of this in a million years.

I can't wait to see it finished!!! Looking forward to the new video soon hopefully!!

Well done for getting past the procrastination portion of the project, it all looks very interesting

I literally can't wait to see this finished 🙌 looks amazing already!

Wow. I can't wait to see this come together.

I think this would be a super cool enclosure for a Caiman Lizard (Water Tegu) since they need land and water. It’s one of my dream pets but they need such a complex set-up and I’m not sure if I could pull that off. But you definitely could!

Great music for frustrating wall building! :)

Orchids would be the most happy plants !!! Amazing project! Well done 👏🏻

Hello from Belgium. I wish you only the Best for the new pject(enclosue)!!!

Very interesting project. The future of this project is going to be amazing,

Wow this is a very cool looking project!!

Wow, this is going to be pretty epic, I really hope you get some sponsors to help on your endeavor. I am definitely excited to see it get done. I remember when you got that huge piece of wood way back when, it has totally been waiting for a project like this one. Good luck with everything, looking forward to see it coming along

Hi Petko's dad!!! I love bonding moments like that. Makes any job more fun and memorable.

Man this is going to be sick! I cannot wait to see it finished!

Good to see The Dad Den :)

Tanner from Serpa Design is an excelent source of knowledge when it comes to vivarium and pauladarium builds ....just watching his videos may give you some amazing ideas on what you can do ....I learned so much from watching his videos and its inspired me to re-do all of my enclosures..... No matter what im sure you will figure out what to do, and its going to turn out beautifully. I cant wait to see the outcome of it , i also cant wait to see which animals will get to enjoy the enclosure. Every build people do they make mistakes or do things they will wish they couldve done differently ....every build you do u learn so much from and become better and better each time .....your really going all out with this one! I hope one day I have the space to do something that big

Great start on a brilliantly ambitious project!! Kudos man, and best of luck w the rest of it (and will look forward to the updates, ha!)✌️

Sorry I'm late! I just want to say, it's been an absolute blast watching you go from just a handful of Ts in your apartment, to the rental spaces and now your OWN place. Kinda back at the apartment but bigger & better! Haha! I cannot wait to see the finished product of this build! Probably has been the most anticipated build yet. Hope you and your girls have a great day! 😊

Very nice build you are doing. About the filter enclosure you probably know but if not it will need to ventilated so the filter system doesn't over heat that will be bad. Good luck with the build looking forward to see it done.

I get it DD. You're enclosing your favorite species...a drum set

yo! when you found that giant stump in the forest was about when I started watching your videos! I'm super excited to see everything coming together friend!

Great video, Petko. So exciting!!!

Maybe you could get in contact with Tropica or Denerle as they sponsor/provide plants to a bunch of RU-vidrs. I thought the tiers were going to be planter beds that were going to hold the substrate. If it was up to me I would make the bigger part at the bottom (LHS) the water area, and the right, a hidden area for the pumps, but I just like a bigger water area.

Did you remember the water insulation where you drilled behind the metal frame? Hyped to see it coming together. Your DIY skills are well developed.

Looks great so far Petko! Cant wait to see it finished. :D

This is your best idea ever! Glad to see that is going amazing

Im so hyped for the result, i need to build one too

Excitement is starting to grow.

Congrats on your baby girl P! Been here since season 1 back in your old apartment! Looking forward for this new build!

Looking fantastic! As others have mentioned, I'd be worried about the lack of ventilation. Maybe you could mesh part of the doors to provide that? As for animals.... fill it with frogs! :-D

100% behind you man.. thats a dream!

Gosh. What a huge undertaking. Your Dad is a stud. Great save!

Fantastic work! It's great to see you taking the first steps to what is definitely going to be a masterpiece.

you could put glass at the water section so you could see what's swimming in there. great great video and I really want to see how this will turn into!! :)

Looks like you have to do some major shopping for father's day! Yay Dad on your cirque du soleil move, there. Maybe investigate sponge filters for the aqua part of your paludarium. Most fish stores only use sponge filters, now, when they have dozens of tanks..

if this video doesnt go viral istg . . . u deserve more recognition!!!!

You have such patience! I appreciate you taking the time to film all of this.

Sweet! So glad to see the progress on the huge paludarium. Excited to watch the progress through the build and to see what you stock it with.

Excellent work, good effort for trying out new DIY skills too! 🙂

It’s going to be pretty great! Definitely will enjoy watching it get built. Can wait to see what you choose to house in there!

Got to love the ideas and effort behind the dark den can't wait to see finish.

I'm super excited for this.

Can't wait to see what you decide to put in there. Definitely excited.

Looking so much forward to see this project complete! Super cool watching your channel grow over the years!

I've been waiting so long for this! It looks cool already! And it's gonna look fricken awesome when it's done!

so much fun watching this huge project come together looking forward to seeing the end result of all your hard work.🤞🤓👍

Yes I was talking about the pump Some are not in the water so yes all is good. Looking forward to more about the build.

Awesome dark den I am looking forward to your next video

I can’t wait to see what you do next, love this vid👌🏻

looking good my friend! can't wait to see the finish!

Looking really good. Can't wait for the next video

Happy you start on this can’t wait to see it when it all finished and what animal u put in great see ur dad helping you great video

Super pumped to see where this goes! You’re living my dream right now, live it well 😅

Can't wait to the paladerium finally finished Petko

Can't wait for the next video in this series!

Super excited for this to finally be happening! This is gonna be epic! I was rolling my flowers just as fast as I could! Hell yeah!

Always enjoy your build videos! Looking forward to more of these as you continue the process!

Nice! Don´t forget about ventilation.

You can use a canister filter on that enclosure.you can drill a hole infront of the enclosure so your canister is in front for easy access.

Now thats gonna be a really cool setup

Been waiting for this video for a long time. Seeing the progress of the enclosure in other video and in current videos was crazy to see it be built in the few weeks of hidden progress.

I was wondering what that was going to be, can't wait to see it finished.

Amazing achievement...🥰🥰🥰 there are a lot of amazing youtoubers around the palludarium scene that you can find some inspiration or just solution for your problems. Quess in this huge measure you will have some along the way. I would probably set a theme. Enviroment thtat is suitable for water creatures aswell as for land or both. I would go probably fod mangrove palludarium. That looks amazing. You can still proceed this as a mixture. As long there is humidity and light the plants will prosper. It depends on what you like or prefere. What my concern is is the ventilation. There will be a lot of condened water that you have to pump out from the basement. You are not able to airtight the whole palludarium. It will affect the whole enviromemt that you have your tarantulas in. You have a lot of dry walls around and furniture that will be affected. I would probably check that before i set my mind on something. This can bacfire...

You should get a cherax crayfish for the aquarium half of the enclosure there very beautiful and could help with cleaning the bottom of the tank. But on the other hand if your planning on planting the aquarium side it might not be such a great idea because they will move and eat the plants.

Cant wait to see the final part of this project

Cant wait to see the final outcome! Great job Petko!

It is going to be EPIC may I suggest picking a location to concentrate on like New Caledonia that way you know all of the animals an coexist together

Hi from Australia. Great to see another video. Will look unreal when finished.

Very exciting and impressive!! One question. What about ventilation? I can’t see where you have arranged for that, or do you plan to make it in the sliding doors or in the bottom part?

Patrick at 3 a.m. OH Boy the Dark Den!

Thank God you both lived! Beautiful job! I love watching you make things.

Your (and your Dad's) hard work is paying off, it's already looking impressive. I saw an earlier comment about the black boards you put in at the top - I too thought it detracts a bit from the overall look. Maybe clear panels would be better, but I'm assuming that the black ones are hiding lighting, etc? Regardless, I am super excited to see it finished and agree, it's going to look awesome.

Storm lighting system would be awesome for this build to replicate a thunder storm and night/day/moon cycles 🐸🐊🐢🕷🪳🦗

Hi Marco. You finally had the chance to start your massive project. Awesome!

Finally it has started I have been waiting for this for a long time. Happy to see the project is underway and I'm sure it will look awesome can't wait to see it finished steaming with live 😁 keep up the great work 👍👍👍

been waiting for ages to see this, can't wait to see the end results love it petko 💙💜🇬🇧

Wonderful; thank you for the update! Seeing as this will be a huge paludarium definitely highly recommend making a 'false bottom'. This will help prevent mold growth at the base of the substrate. Like, you know how Exotics Lair is always mixing his substrate to try to kill mushrooms? That's what a false bottom can defend against.

wow going to be epic Dark den love it and wow you look like your dad too amazing video thanks so much

An Iguana would look great in that!

Looks amazing!

One day I'm going to build one bigger than this....I might house my daughter in it haha. Honestly though, this looks absolutely fantastic.
