    This is GORGEOUS!
    For the size of the tank, I think more lights would have moved it from awesome and classy, into almost garish. You struck the perfect balance.
    We used to collect beach glass, which would be perfect for this, so would tumbled glass.

    Tanner makes a better aquascape than us with one hand behind his back, literally. Great job man, looks amazing. You're the main reason I even started keeping fish - I tried to buy some tanks on sale in March to build a vivarium/terrarium but then realized all the plants and rocks would be difficult to acquire quickly so I just got into fishkeeping lmao

    I asked for something like this a couple times and this is JUST how I imagined it! You did an absolutely stunning job. Using the glass shards over the lights? Gorgeous. Definitely something I might explore in the future. And the fish look great in there and are a great pairing. They look like they appear from out of the shadows. It is very ethereal and fantasy-like and I really enjoy when you try new things and make bullds that are a little out of the norm. This is why you’re my favorite fishtuber!

      Won;t be able to keep longer finned fish in there though great for a tetra hide away but anything with jagged glass can't or shouldn't really be around fish with long fins as they catch and tear. this would be more a plant aquarium. Actually this would probably be a really go breeder tank for ghost shrimp they'd look awesome in here,

    I agree with you, this is one of my favorite builds that you have done. I've been thinking of scape ideas for a 33 gallon long tank as like a rocky river type setup, and this gives me the perfect idea for how the underwater scape should look. The black lava rock with the glowing gems look would fit it perfect.

    Gotta say mate, I totally agree about this being one of your best scapes yet. It's not even normally my style since I normally prefer the very natural and dense looks that you usually go for, but something about this one is totally unique but still has that naturalistic FEEL. Loving the pop of green with the simple plants, and the fish were definitely the perfect choice!!

    This is absolutely amazing Tanner. It looks beautiful on its own, but I think this type of fantasy/gemstone vibe combined with your regular naturalistic style could be even more interesting. If I get the chance to make a build like this, I think I would fill the rest up with plants, maybe even some riparian growth coming from the top of the structure so some roots grow down across the caves. I'm thinking black raven zz, dragon's tongue, and maybe some interestingly colored begonia and tradescantia up top and some dark bucephalandra in the bottom to keep the fantasy vibe going. Your work is so inspiring and it's so impressive that you never stop having more ideas and executing them so well, even with one hand!

    My dude. I have always loved glowing stuff and I love fish too. Combining the two has never been something I thought was really possible. But with LEDs and the way things turned out this loom awesome. Another Idea I have is to add in rocks that reacts to ultra violet light. Aka “black light” and then obviously use a black light to illuminate the tank. Also, I hate saying this because I don’t like the fish, but maaaaaaaybe put some glo light fish in there to see what they look like! 🤷‍♂️ 🫣😂 any who. Great job in the glowing tank. Looks awesome!

    You say this is your favorite build so far. I'm gonna have to agree, though it's practically impossible to choose between all your groundbreaking scapes over the years. Usually I go for the more densely planted paludarium-style builds, but the intrigue of the backlit glass combined with your talent for videography (which seems to have only grown despite your injury) create a mesmerizingly immersive video. Such an ethereal space in such a small container. . . Great work Tanner!

    Easily one of the most gorgeous builds! I like the stocking choice with those tetras alot the blue/purple hue brings out that little stripe real nice. But SERIOUSLY LIVING for this build!

    I love the green light the best....it makes it look like an Emerald cave with the fish adding flecks of shimmering gold.
    Its stunning.

    I'm obsessed with this build - so much so I plan on making my own version in the future. I also have aspirations to experiment with adding some extra functions.
    I'm really into building and playing modular synthesizers. Maybe you've seen them before, think of a giant shelf full of modules with lots of knobs, jacks, faders, and patch cables you connect all the modules with to make sounds and music. Very simplified, you make connections that push voltages around within the synthesizer to make it work. I have an idea to install light reactive resistors. So any time a fish swims by an area with light, their shadows would change how might light is picked up by the resistor which I can then use to send a control voltage trigger or something that affects what the synthesizer does. It could change pitch or duration of a note, or the amount of reverb, or even just control the color of the lights. Depending on how the synthesizer is patched, their movement could be a source of modulation (wiggling a knob) which is what makes the synthesizer really come alive. In a way, it would be like the fish are playing the synthesizer!
    It's a big project, and even if those things don't end up working this build would be a perfect ambiance/inspiration to look at while I spend hours playing with the synthesizer. I hope to share it with you someday.
    Thank you so much for your hard work and sharing your art with us. I love following your channel, it's an endless source of inspiration. My wife and I plan on getting frogs and I know with the help of your videos we'll be able to build an amazing habitat for them together to put in our own little animal room. All the best from Minnesota ❤️

    I think this is my favorite set up yet! The crystals give it an otherworldly vibe which is different from the usual rainforest vibe. You should definitely do some more projects like this, it’s a whole new type of set up!

    Watching your videos makes me want to refresh an old aquarium that I have in my garage. It was set up in my parents house for years when I was a child
    I need to figure out how to reseal it and then do something cool with it!

    YESSSSSS YOU NEED TO DO A GIANT CRYSTAL CAVE BUILD!! I never really thought that this build would be that captivating but it is probably one of my favorite builds you’ve done! Great job I think crystals look great and there’s so many different types so you could do some really cool stuff!

    i really dig how this is a lot less green and lush than many of your builds, but just as pretty and interesting to look at. i love your usual stuff but the change up in aesthetic is definitely cool!

  • @AguabonitaAquatics

    I really like the look of this tank, it's visually stunning. I've been in the hobby 40+ years and have to say this is the most original and beautiful aquarium I have seen... a masterpiece. When I first looked at it last night, I was inspired and wanted to recreate it, but then decided it was just too unnatural for the inhabitants. This morning I had a bit of an epiphany - blind cave tetra! I think this impactful design would perfectly compliment their muted colouration and provide a natural environment for them (a bioluminescent cave with blind aquatic inhabitants, has to be a biotope... somewhere!). I feel like a community of blind fish in this type of design would be magical. I hope to see you create a larger display along these lines and from your enthusiasm get the impression you want to do another, more refined design.
