5 CRUCIAL TERRARIUM BUILDING MATERIALS!
มุมมอง 629หลายเดือนก่อน
These are my 5 favorite building materials!! Each one of them I stopped and considered for a very long time. I wanted to make sure that every piece of terrarium, vivarium or paludarium building material would be 100% Aquarium Safe! I own poison dart frogs which are some of the more sensitive species of animals you can house in a bio active terrarium. Since poison dart frogs actually absorb chem...

Дяденька! Лайк мне, это конечно хорошо и любезно с вашей стороны! Но ответа по посаженным растениям, я от вас не получил.... Жаль! Может у вас времени нет или желания ответить мне? Спасибо!
Hey how’s it going, I definitely did answer you. I used a wet moss mix which I got from frogdaddy.com
дяденька, здравствуйте! Подскажите, пожалуйста! Какие растения у вас посажены? Спасибо!!! 🤝😊
Hey thanks! It’s the wet moss mix from frog daddy.com
Bro you gotta frame it correctly, put cardboard inside the shirt to make it look nice
Thanks for the tip
Hello! I love this build! So amazing! Do you know what the semi-aquatic plant you use from your dart frog tank is? It looks so beautiful and I can't quite figure out what it is!
Thank you so much! Really glad you like it! The plant you’re looking for is the pogostemon helferi amzn.to/47JdB6f
W video
Many many thanks! 🙏
Are they poisonous now or just under certain circumstances?
iirc, poison dart frogs get their poison by eating poisonous insects. As long as he doesn't feed them those insects, they should be safe.
Dangersquirrel nailed it
He’s a cute little frog, that face is adorable
Haha yeah they’re my favorite!
how long did that moss take to grow?
About 2 months
@@alternateaquatics timelapse looks really good so I was wondering
Thanks!! Yeah it’s the wet moss mix from frogdaddy.com
Damn you feed heavy! that, or you have way too many frogs in that cage! Beautiful Vivarium though!
Thanks! (I’m headed out of town for a few days so I’m giving them enough for a few days)
@@alternateaquatics Ahh.. that makes sense! I figured that there had to be a reason since the vivarium is so well kept and you clearly are no beginner to Dart Frog husbandry. Happy and safe travels!
Thanks! I threw in a piece of banana to keep them all from climbing out. This way I don’t have to worry about explaining to someone how to feed my frogs when I’m gone haha
They're not Poisonous in captivity or naturally They're only Poisonous due to what they eat
Correct!
Cheers from Dortmund. 😂🙌
Heja bvb! 😁
🐸"Boys, we eating good today!!"🗣️📢😅
Haha yeah they all got seconds 😋
Thats vial
Lol what?
Vile*
No, it's jar.
Lol it is indeed jar.

I want some of these guys. Your video has helped me to know how to care for them. Thank you!😊
Glad I could help! Thanks for your comment! 😊
The worm on the glass was a planaria
Oh awesome thanks for the heads up!
This is awesome! How thick will the moss grow on the terrarium background?
It’ll be about 2-3 inches and should carpet everything!

Just subbed 😊 been recently watching terrium builds, came across you beautiful tank
Thank you so much! Your comment really means a lot to me thank you
Is there another way to add the soil to the wall? How much silicone did you use?
You can apply it directly to the spray foam before it cures. But you won’t be able to shape it correctly then
Nice vid. I've used dragon stone in aquascaping and you really need to rinse two or three times if not more as it is loaded with sediments. Have you tried adding the coco/sphagnum mix to the great stuff before it cures. I've seen some people doing it and if it works it would cut down on the silicone cure time and smell.
Hey thanks for the comment! Yes I should have mentioned the dragon stone usually comes with clay in the holes. I like to use a wire brush and piece of metal wire and I usually take a few hours to clean it. If you have a yard and a power washed I’m sure that would work nicely! I’ll have to try to putting the coco fibers directly into the spray foam some time! I guess the only downside to that I can see is that you can’t rlly shape the background as much that way since it expands when it cures?
Thanks very much for this, just got 20 orange spring tails I am trying to culture :)
Just make sure you open it once in a while and sprinkle in a little fish food once in a while
@@alternateaquatics will do thanks! :) I wondered why you don't put vent holes in? I think I read that they don't jump but do they crawl out?
Oh idk the jar was just more convenient
No you didn't
lol ok who did?
@@alternateaquatics ur mom
What’s the small rock you held up that’s holy? Great vid by the way. Thanks
It’s called dragon stone! I linked it in the description! Also thanks a lot!

The driftwood waterfall looks rlly cool! Do you think it will break down from the water over time though?
Thanks! It’s hardwood used as aquarium decor…I’m sure eventually it will break down but I think I’ll have a few years before then
Nice to see people enthusiastic about their hobbies👍
Thanks! I’m completely obsessed lol
Are you using a certain expanding foam that’s safe for aquatic environments? Normal stuff will leach toxins into the water
Yes it’s the pond safe great stuff expanding foam
@@alternateaquatics thanks I need to get me sum
It’s one of my fav terrarium building products no doubt
Dang man you put in work fr fr nicely done 💯🔥
Thanks for noticing! I def spent a little time lol
@@alternateaquatics yes sir looks extremely good nice job boss !
Thanks again i appreciate that!
These areexactly the kind of suggestions I’ve been looking for- very much appreciated 🙏🏾🥰
Oh awesome!!! That put a smile on my face! :)
How will those plant make root inside those expanding foam and glue????
They root into the coco fibers and sphagnum moss. Some of the roots will trail down the back drop until they reach the soil
@@alternateaquatics but those coco fibre are sealed with glue!!! Isn't it?
There’s a lot of it that is free of the silicone, but yes it is adhered to the foam with silicone
Great video! When you use the filter to section off the tank, does this stop the water from passing through and contain it to just the pump and pond or is there water under everything? Thanks
Hey I appreciate it thank you! Yes the water can pass under filter foam. I left the very bottom of it open for that reason. You just can’t see it cause it’s covered with sand
@@alternateaquatics does that mean there is roughly a 2 inch or so depth of water across the entire tank? As the water won't be deeper where the filter is right? I made one in the past for crocodile skins and my water always use to get mucky as I used a false bottom! The filter seems a great idea to keep the water clear and clean. Thanks for the time to reply. Love the tank builds!
That’s correct. The filter foam allows the pump to draw the water through the bottom. It forces the water to pass through all the filter media first. That’s where the roots from the plants also get a chance to clean the water and filter it more. You’ll still need to do water changes from time to time but a lot less often
And of course I’m glad to help! Any comment on my videos is greatly appreciated 🙏
@@alternateaquatics do you leave the water flowing 24/7 or does this turn off on a cycle?
They sell cheap x-acto knife sets at the dollar store, I think it would be a little quicker and less tedious and/or fatiguing if you had something just as sharp but with a better grip/reach :) This paludarium is sick!!
Thanks!!! I’ll check them out! I ended up taping up one end of the razor blades to save my fingers lol! I guess I just like how small the blade is. It gives me better angles! Thanks for checking out my video! Your comment means a lot :)

Hey thank you so much! I’m going to rebuild my tortoise terrarium and then I think I’ll see about getting a chameleon!
That purple and yellow crab is don’t as fuck he’s a pimp crab

What an awesome build idea! i really like how you incorporated the wood in your waterfall! it makes it look so natural! Awesome terrarium!
Thanks so much! 😊 I was really nervous about how the water would flow over the wood but thankfully it all turned out alright! Thanks again for watching and commenting :)

some people call them sand fleas and they make great bait for fishing, you can try to keep them as a pet but it's hard to keep them alive.
That’s what’s up! I actually ended up releasing them a few days later
