DIY STREAM Style Aquascape (Low Tech)

- I know... I did it again! Breaking aquariums is part of the process I suppose. This time I had the tank propped up on a few boards and bumped it off. The bulkheads were installed, so when it landed the glass cracked.
No problem, some of my favorite projects to date happened because of mistakes and I think this is one of them. I wanted to create something simple, unique, and different from others I've shown.
I really like how it turned out and it seems like all the inhabitants do as well. What else would you add to the tank? I was thinking Hillstream Loaches, but usually, they're recommended for 30 gallons or more. I know this is only 19, but the footprint of the tank is much larger than usual. Let me know what you think in the comments!

I really like how this one turned out. I think it will really shine through as the Bolbitis matures and fills in the setup. What else would you stock it with though? Let me know!
can you do a water terrarium I have made one myself and I want to see if I did it right
I bet a kilifish would stand out really well against all the dark substrate
WOW this scape is 10000000000000000000000000000/10
hillstream loaches would be amazing in this setup!
Throw a few nano rainbow fish in there
I love how Tanner never wastes his materials. He always finds uses for everything most people would probably throw away!
That's part of what helps me continuously make new things.
It really is awesome what he can do.
Agreed
Not everytime haha look how much silicone hes using on the tropic terrarium builds
When you love nature so much, youll care for it
tanner in 2030: 'hey there serpa squad i'm here today with a new build'
ZOOMS IN ON A PLANET
i found this earth had a crack in it, but we can make something out of it anyway. i start by removing the old human substrate, and tossing it out, since it was the cause of all the trouble anyway (haha)
A perfectly conceived and executed planet
ハードクレイジー😁
So he'll be Slartibartfast?
@@benjaminrapp7418 Magrathea had their time brother.. let's move on
I really love your black snails. They look like the river rocks and I just think that is great.
That why I got them! Someone new is watching the tank, "Did that stone move!?"
I'd not heard of black snails before. Interesting!
@@SerpaDesign just tell them it’s a pet rock
@@SerpaDesign living stones
@@SerpaDesign the nerite snails I've kept in my open tank crawl out so I'm nervous to put any in there. I've heard they do this because the water quality sucks and they want to find a better water source? I maintain my tanks regularly so I don't know about that one.
stock it with hill trout danio they look like little trout
They're a beautiful fish! Not very common in my area unfortunately.
white cloud mountain minnows would be cool, and maybe a few hill stream loaches.
Yesss
He already has white clouds with his toads
Stocking idea: hillstream loach, they like the high flow
I love hillstream loaches, but that water line looks a little too high. I'm sure Tanner could whip up a DIY lid no problem though lol
These are my favorite fish and I'd love to see you get some!
@@WhoTheHellIsHarvy yes. Especially the reticulated variety. It would stand out nicely against the black rocks
I have one and it his so cool, it looks like a stingray
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Me too. Love how they aren't shy at all either. So awesome when they're swimming in open water they are so cool.
This channel smells like fresh air.
The black snails!! What a cool inhabitant!!
Vampire Shrimp, Bamboo Shrimp, and Hillstream Loaches are some of the coolest freshwater critters and they all love flowing water. I bet the filtering shrimp will spend all day perched on the branches in front of the filter output, washing their little fans around. That would be super satisfying to watch.
I swear that antscanada and serpadesign post a video around the same time
They do...
They do! Lol that's my after work routine.. I watch them almost religiously lol
2 of my favorite channels!
@Bogey Man I don't think so. He has a erratic uploading schedule today was just a fluke.
Ant canada is the reason i found serpas
I'd love to see some Hillstream Loach in this setup. This aquarium is awesome.
My thoughts exactly
Sewellia would be a FANTASTIC addition! They're are so many understated yet very complimentary dark colour forms and their behaviour in a stream aquarium is unbeatable!
Great aquascape as always! Stocking idea: You should get Rainbow or Greenside darters since streams are their natural habitat.
“Yo, what’s up serpa squad?” Today is going to be a good day.
Oh you sly devil you... the black nerites are a nice touch & exclamation point to this beautiful setup. Once again you’ve outdone yourself & never cease to amaze me...
This is the aesthetic I was trying to achieve with my first tank but I had that floating wood problem which really threw a wrench into my plans. Yours turned out absolutely stunning!
I love your design as always Serpadesign, and I love how you reuses materials. My favorite shrimp is the bamboo shrimp, and since you asked for stocking suggestions, I offered my favorite shrimp. I love all your videos, and I can’t wait for the next one!
I'm just impressed by how you simply turned an ugly situation to a beautiful aquascape. Thanks for the video
Gorgeous tank! I love the section you put at the end about lighting/ferts/maintenance, I'd love to see you do a full video about tank maintenance!
Also, your videos have been a massive source of peace and serenity in this stressful year. Thank you for what you do, it truly brings me (and so many others) so much joy.
One of the most marvilous peace of art, amazing view!
River loatches would be my only suggestion the love the flow and the space is adequate plus they have a nice personality
This is really gorgeous. I love the long dimensions of this tank- as well as the river look.
This is probably one of my favorites of your recent builds. I really like how the various shades of black make everything else pop.
Love that you mention paid sponsor. Well done Sir
These black rocks are so beautiful!!!
I think this layout is the best one you've done. Looks really clean and simple
I really love seeing your geckos even though I am having kind of phobia towards them....
I love your positive attitude whenever something goes wrong and you work through it
I have never seen anyone so innovative and dedicated. He is really inspiring
I love the simplicity to this tank. It's beautiful.
I love how you explain almost every single step on creating this amazing aquarium
You can totally tell the difference between a simple hobby and passion. You, my friend, are obviously very passionate about what you do. Hats off for this channel
Beautiful. Subtle, and pristine. I would love to see you talk about your aquarium maintenance. Thank you for continuing to share your designs.
Excellent. So natural in appearance.
Thanks so much! Because of you I made a month ago my first terrarium and gave it to dad for birthday and he loved it! Also I have been spending a lot of time in nature! I love making terrariums!
I love aquascapes and this one looks really very pretty 😍
I love the look of this tank. It’s beautiful.
Beautiful. I really like that there is a current against which the fish are swimming. It makes it seem that much more real and interesting.
I love danios so much, and pearl danios are one of my favorites. They seem so underappreciated! Temperate and coolwater are my favorite, especially river and stream setups!
Very stylish! Nice! I like that there is movement in the plants with this one.
A little on the dark side but I love dark. The only color came from the richly green vegetation. You did make it appear very nice. I enjoy your work.
Love the darkness to this scape! Those rocks are so pretty.
Love the dark colors and the contrast with the greens.
Looks great 😀👍 I like the dark colors in the background and bottom. The greens and fish will stand out nicely.
I’ve always been interested in red belly dace. There’s many different varieties of them as well. They have a nice red stripe going from head to tail.
You do such a great job with all your projects. Thanks for sharing them.
This is one of my favorites, Tanner. Beautifully done!
Those black nerite snails were the perfect choice for this tank
I've seen every build for the past 3 years and i gotta say. this one might be a top 3 all time for me! looks great!
the scaping state of this setup is just INSANELY aestetically pleasing.
Tanner must have a really good "planning ahead" brain
When I saw the final hardscape, I was like, "woah. Way too many large rocks."
But Tanner must have thought, "I'll fill some places with plants so that it looks good, so we don't need to worry about that now."
massive props to people who can think of that stuff while doing their hardscape...
I love this tank. It is my favorite design so far.
I love how this tank looks it is beautiful.
stunning! love the simplicity of it
You and Joanna from the small scape inspired me to make an aquascaped tank that I'm pretty proud of. Thank you guys!
I liked the general dark scaping of the tank.
Absolutely beautiful setup Tanner, you make it look so easy!
Stunning! Love the black.
This is my absolute favorite that I've seen you do. It's gorgeous
Tbh I would not add the plants, when you showed the hardscape I was amazed. If I had to, I'd add some brownish plants to not take the attention away from the wood and the stone. I can't get enough of that aquarium. .brilliant.
This one is my favourite, absolutely awesome
Awesome looks, I love your work! Thank you.
I can`t wait to see how the flow of the water influences the plant growth once they all get established, I`m imagining something like how trees grow in super windy locations, but I guess we`ll have to wait and see! Great build, as usual. Thanks!
I'm digging the stream set up. Look really cool!
VERY nice! Love the black.
Absolutely stunning scape! I love how much the plants pop against all the dark things in there. A school of 10-12 pygmy corys would look cool in there!
So glad to see you going back to the roots for this one. More like your old stuff!
Nice idea! Love the materials you use for the setup! Gratz
This was a beautiful build. I love the black gravel with black stones.
My goodness , you are good at this artform.
Simply stunning.
Again !
Do a brackish water aquarium. They're really cool!
Do cool fish like mudskippers and glassfish
oh yes, i love brackish tanks!
@@brandonsaquariumsandterrar8985 Archer fish, gobies and so many others!
@@ghomerhust Me too!
Omg yes mudskippers!!!!
Superbly made ... amazing work kudos 👏🙌👌🏼👍🏻
you are always the best, I like your works so much at all. thank you for your wonderful and beautiful video clips...
I love watching your videos! I currently finished my second vivarium for my crested geckos. I like the way the black silicone looked better then the clear. I felt so proud after completing it.
Love the new way to cut holes in the glass. Much more exact
Absolutely love this. Imma recrate this soon. Thanks for inspiring
Nice job Sir Tanner!! Very peaceful, beautiful set up. 👍👍👍🦃
This one is really classy looking. Very nice!
I really enjoy watching you work! You make things look so easy and you’re so talented. I really love this! So often you see new builds with light sand, which I think is beautiful and usually more natural looking. However, I use black sand and this setup is very natural looking and striking! All the dark makes the green pop more. Beautiful job as usual!
Nice design, simple , I like it
This video helped me to realize what I want my 20long to look like. I've been toying with it for a while.
I've tried dirted but it ways ends up being a mess. Guess I should focus on balancing the minerals in my tap.
Thank you for the video! Great low tech setup!
Awesome river scape!
One of the most satisfying channels on TH-cam.
Great inspiration!!Very beautiful
Such a gorgeous tank, the pearl danios really set it off!
Tanner, you absolutely have to do a mangrove reef tank if you haven't considered it already. I've always loved doing vivarium and freshwater planted aquariums, but coral is absolutely addicting.
Corydoras would look lovely scrabbling along the bottom! They’re an awesome cleanup crew too. My favorite bottom dwellers next to pleces.
Loved the video! So beautiful and I’d love a tank like this! The different rock sizes bring so much to it! I think a river loach would be a great addition! I have one in my tank and it’s very active on the glass, plants, and rocks! Their coloring would go well with the tank too
I think this is my favorite so far Tanner! The asthetic is beautiful and the way those danios are schooling reminds me of trout swimming up stream... I love it my friend
You're a master of your craft, for sure! ❤
I think this one is fantastic as it is. No need for extra stocking! The danios really fit, they look like little baby trout ❤
Looks really good. For another inhabitant that enjoys a moderate flow, I would suggest a hillstream loach.
Extremely attractive build and great inspiration!
This is sooo clean looking. I love it!
I like the way u explain. It is easy to listen for those English as second language
very nice set up looks so natural
Wow amazing, very professional work!
Definitely interested in a maintenance procedure video.
You are a master aquascaper. Every single one looks incredible
