Upflow Overflow (Infinity) Bog Filtered Shrimp Aquascape 

I'm back with another wacky project! As I entertained this idea, I knew it HAD to make it to the channel. Let me know what you think about the result. Also, do you think this is something I should fine tune on a larger scale?

So motivating, good bye cruel world I’m off to build and live in a human sized Serpa vivarium.

I thought of an idea that could be good for a 2nd version. Instead of using one mirror on the front bottom tank, make the bottom tank all out of glass, and use mirrors on all sides of middle support (which not only would make it look like there were more plants and rocks in the bottom, but might also give the illusion that the top tank is magically floating above the bottom tank even if its only at first glance).

Hands down one of the most creative aquascaping youtubers. The vivarium aspect is such a gorgeous effect that adds so much to it. If I were to attempt this build I'd probably design it for the corner of a room and have the waterfall only on one side, with the bottom tray extending only on that side and the front (for plants). I'd want to try and figure out a way to make the pump accessible for maintenance too. Absolutely stunning little tank though

The overflow effect on the sides adds a really interesting look when viewed from the front, reminiscent to me of volcanic hot water vents you sometimes see videos of. Makes me want to come up with a cool tank design of my own as a hobby :)

Looks great and is very inspirational how you didn’t gave up and keep trying, until the variable was perfected.

That one shrimp just dive bombing into the sand 😂😂😂

I like how serpa makes things simple and doesn’t overcomplicate what he’s doing.

Honestly if this was made into a product that hit the market I would probably buy it. Looks really professional.

Another great concept and build. I never get enough of this channel.

Honestly this is one of my favorites, it looks so natural and so off the cuff and so comfortable. And I can just imagine the sound of running water and I think that's amazing

I love how you've honed your craft over the years. I first discovered your channel through your How-to Terrarium series more than five years ago. I've enjoyed watching as you've developed your style and grew in confidence. Well done!

Nice!!! Looks awesome! I'd use bamboo for the bottom plants but that's a personal preference

Wow this has got to be one your best builds. as far as running with it in the future, it would be super cool to do multiple tanks with overflows in a step-down pattern down to a bog filter that extends farther away in order to showcase some more plants in it. would be an awesome setup to do a betta in each of the step-down tanks

I am from Germany and the way you said ´Süßwassertang´ was so wholesome. For those who are interessted what it means: Directly translated it´s ´Sweet Water Tang´. Ps. I enjoy watching your videos in the evening to go to sleep easier and it helps me a lot. I get so many Ideas of how I can design my first Aquascape.

..... You absolutely deserve an 'At-A-Boy' for a most interesting, and beautiful project ... Everything is aesthetically pleasing ... The design, the function, the plants, the shrimp !!! .....

Nobody does it like you, Serpa!! Thank you for always sharing your newest creative ventures ! Can’t wait for more !

Super clever eco-filtering concept would love to see more like that. I hope we get updates on this tank - if it looks even better once it's a bit worn in looking or if the sides just get gunky from the overflow.

I love it! Incredible vision brought to fruition as always! I especially love how you include all the details and set backs rather than just showing a perfect process, it’s really encouraging and inspiring to see you overcome hurdles and keep evolving your idea to a finished product. Great stuff once again!

Another EPIC "tank"! Clever, Tanner! Well designed, and what minute problems were encountered, were easily overcome! The yellow neo's are the frosting on the cake! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

One of the main reasons I keep aquariums is because I love water, the relaxing movements and sounds, keeping fish and plants is a bonus. I like the idea of a fountain/aquarium myself and have been looking into doing something similar. I like how it turned out, you should definitely do more designs like this.

Builds like these really make your channel stand out, it's super interesting to see where you're going with the build and making aquascaping more creative

Appreciate including all the failures, trials, and tribulations. love too see a vision come to life

Brilliant, eye candy, great home for shrimps. Bravo, thank you for this video🙏❤️😍

I love this concept! A very unique and creative design for sure, and for a first time effort, masterfully done. Can’t wait to see the next generation of this design!

Wow so cool! 100% would love to see multiple iterations of this concept

Looks like a flowing creek especially after you added shrimps. It's so alive and refreshing, nicely done! I'd love to have that in my house and plant some of my favorite ferns with it.

This is the kind of thoughts/projects that keep me up in the middle of the night. And you seamlessly put it together 😮🤯🥰

Absolutely gorgeous - as always!! Count me in the squad that says don’t trust that check valve, though! I would suggest just extending the feed tube high enough that the water that drains wouldn’t overflow the base. Maybe just a couple inches (depending on the relative volumes). Should be easy to hide, and might increase flow with that check valve out of the circuit. Great design!!

The frosted/diffused background really made this one pop, would look just as good at a home or office environment.

This is so cool. I love how you talk about design mistakes and how you rectify them. Cool concept and design and it's gorgeous to boot. 11/10

Absolutely gorgeous!

I love this idea! This is gorgeous, and I'd love to have a tank like this some day. The idea of a living, natural filter is brilliant.

wow imagine an upsized version of this

Oh my gosh, this is absolutely fabulous!

This is one of the coolest nano builds I’ve ever seen. It would be really cool to have the overflow tank bigger with some sort of livestock in it, scaling the entire build up to 20-30 gallons

It’s so unnatural that it is so natural. It’s confusing how perfect everything you make is.

That’s incredible! Your talent never ceases to amaze!

This is lovely! Sooooo many additional possibilities!

Absolutely beautiful!

Everything you make looks so unbelievably good I'm crying

That's such a cool build & design! You & will nace are by far the best enclosure builder/designers on RU-vid! This set up is simply next level!

You are such an inspiration Taner! Thank you!

That is just beautiful!!

You should sell these on your website I wouldn't mind having one of these in my family room

I really like the multi-tiered look and the effect of the tank appearing to float above the basin due to the plant arrangement in front.

Thank you for sharing your amazing, unique, creative tanks and environments. I love how you never give up if your creation doesn't work the first time. This doesn't surprise me though and you sound like a very calm, relaxed person.

Wow. i'm blown away by this design.

Really nailed it with the angled pieces on the sides, I was wondering how often you'd have to top it off to maintain the waterfall effect, those side pieces solved that problem instantly! Great build!

This project was dope. Id love to see this kind of design incorporated with more animals too. I feel like this is a really unique style

Wow that's just beautiful!

Absolutely phenomenal

One thing I see with this design is creatures "riding the wave" and ultimately ending up in the bottom tank. I've had my snails crawling up and out of a regular tank. But it still looks very nice.

Quite an interesting idea, for sure. I'd like to see something in the lower bog tank that is asymmetrical to complement or play off against what's inside the upper tank.

This easily one of the most simplistic and beautiful tanks I've seen in a long while. It's very zen feeling with the trickling water. Good going.

So unique. I love it!

I love this idea! Have you ever considered a carnivorous plant type bog build? Might be a fun challenge (some carnivorous plants do great outdoors as well)

Tanner always makes these builds seem easy 😅 and makes me want to start DIYing some tanks myself

Wow I think that is my fave build so far! Cheers!

Wow, your vision and execution is just flawless! Thank you for sharing.

I like the idea. I had chosen a slightly lower middle part and lower upper part. I don't like high aquas. When it comes to the base part, it could work just as well if there were 9-12 support points! The supports can be made of brick, concrete or similar material and are built as an (X) with 4 pieces that anchor the 4 corners so that you have a large X in the middle, for better relief of the strain of the weight that the upper part brings with it. Pumps and media will be covered with plants etc. The middle part needs to be easily accessible and I don't want to spend too much time on silicon and also be able to have the upper part loose in case something breaks! So a 2-part build that appears to have three parts where the upper part has its weight resting on the crosses which are not visible.

Cool build. I think the check valve (although needed like you said) was the main issue with the overflow aspect of the tank. Check valves are usually quite restrictive depending on the design. Next time go with a more powerful pump to overcome the extra restriction.

This looks so CLEAN!! Love it!

Love it, different and has a neat vibe.

I love it, but man when (not if) that check valve fails, you're going to have a MESS... cool design though!!

Hey sherpa designs I think you need to start your buisness where you sell these master pieces

Amazingly beautiful!

Totally Amazing

Have you ever considered mass production of some of these more unique tanks? I’d love to buy one.

Girl, you have done it again! Constantly raising the bar for us all and doing so flawlessy.

Love this! Like having a water feature/miniature garden in your house. So relaxing.

Gorgeous and brilliant

Awesomeness ..next time make it 3 levels with the top level being an inverted tank

I love how shrimps do "titititittititti" whit they little feets

I love how you put everything together the eye is so given.❤❤❤

looks amazing!

I tried this several years ago with a custom made tank, the problem is loss of co2 and shrimps would fall into the bog

If I say that title in a dramatic voice while standing in a circle drawn with chalk a demon will appear, no?

Love this!!! (along with all of your work) So much inspiration

looks great!!

Love the build, but I feel like the shrimp are going to immediately crawl out

First from Germany 🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

This is seriously awesome. I love the process that you went through, the design, trial and error etc.

Beautiful!

Just beautiful

That is amazing!

Mind stimulation much appreciated it very much!

Looks so good.

Wow. Very satisfying. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Consistently blown away by how cool your projects are. Excited for next week!

Love it! I totally want something like this! love that it's shrimp only tank too.

Brilliant. Love your work. Truly a craftsman.

I absolutely love this!

This set up is beautiful. It’s my favorite out of them all because I love the design element of the overflow walls. Well done!

Unique and beautiful!❤

What a great idea! I love it.

Looks awesome!

Excellent work. Love it!

This is awesome. It turned out better than I expected when I initially clicked on the video. I really like it! I want one of my own.

I think you’re awesome. So smart and creative. I appreciate you sharing.
