Wow i honestly didn't expect this video to do so well as it was my first video ever made. For those asking for an update, i am almost ready to post a follow up! Thanks again for watching!! It's my understanding that if a video gets 2000 likes, YT will begin suggesting it to a larger audience. Not sure if this is true or not but considering im almost at 1000 likes already, i would love to put that rumor to the test with this video, so if you wouldn't mind giving the video a like i would really appreciate it! Thanks again!
This just got recommended to me by TH-cam, and I now have a new obsession. Can't wait for an update.
WHERES THE UPDATE
If you post another video of this you will get so many views man if I were you its what I would be working on right now such a great idea no one has ever done it that i can find either
Yeah, this is awesome! I am building a few right now and seriously considering something like this. Need more info!
I think he been hired for avatar series upcoming movie so he need to kept is secret
Need an update on this asap this is dope as hell
thanks! im working on it but its a lot of work. subscribe as it will probably be a couple months before im finished.
When will be the update
Did it work? Ik you are busy man and this is difficult project, such a cool idea though
@@sweetgumnyc7794
I’ve been thinking of the SAME PROJECT for years and I can’t even describe how much my jaw has dropped watching this
I hope we get the finished vivarium soon. The idea is amazing and I really can’t wait!
soon!! im still working on testing suitable plants.. its really difficult to find them but im making progress!
So excited to see how this turns out! Please look into succulents. I had an aloe vera that would emit a dark red / purple under UV. This might help build your terranium since theyre low maintenance
Most plants usually glow around reddish or purplish under UV because of chlorophyll. I would say that’s not a bad idea but I don’t think aloe Vera would be the plant to use, it doesn’t really match the alien pandora vibes
Passion Flower, Chinese Ground Orchid (but orchids can be tricky), Pink Lady’s Slipper, California Poppy, Lacy Phacelia, Bee balm flower all glow under UV light. Tonic water and vitamin B also glow. I know sometimes flowers absorb colors if you put the dye in their water, I wonder if they absorb fluorescent color too.
This is so creative and exciting! Looking forward to seeing the final product.
thanks so much!
@@sweetgumnyc7794 You posted this six months ago and we're really excited to see the finished project.
having a little experience with photographing bioluminescence organisms. I know for a fact that this looks WAYY cooler in person. You still did a fantastic job capturing the glowing effects without editing. Good video dude this is so cool.
This is awesome.. got me all excited, cant wait to see what you come up with 🦎
Can’t wait to see how this turns out. You should grow mushrooms in there!
GloFish and glowing mushrooms all possess the quality of bioluminescence. I have also heard about whole bioluminescent mini-forests up there in the Himalayas that have plants and small animals that all glow, and are located near saltwater lakes. Anyways looking forward to the completion of this project. Best of luck!
thats really interesting!!! im going to research that now!!! thanks!
Well someone lied to you about the glowing forests.
@@sweetgumnyc7794 I used to spend my summers in the Adirondacks. Walking through the forest in pitch black darkness at night you would be AMAZED at the amount of actual glowing flora (no black light needed) that litters the forest floor.
Glowfish are not bioluminescent. They're just fluorescent from jellyfish genes. Jellyfish genes = fluorescence, firefly genes = bio-luminescence.
Thanks for this insight! I was looking for ideas to make something Avatar-looking in my room and your idea sounds great! I also love carnivorous plants and am so happy they too are bioluminescent.
Not sure if this might make the broccoli useful but if you place it in water it blooms! ☺️ amazing amount of research btw!! Definitely subscribing for updates
Cant wait to see the rest of the process! You are great, this was really interesting
thanks! an update is in the works!
I can’t wait for the update!!! This is such a cool idea!
You've made me start thinking in a whole new "light".
Came across this video while looking for vids on bias lighting. Great video, and lots of great information. I've built several vivarium myself, the idea of one naturally fluorescing is intriguing. As mentioned, the mineral Fluorite fluoresces (impurities in it, actually), and is actually how it got named. A like and subscribe in the hopes you will continue working on this great idea. Good luck to you, considering how much money has been made with Glow Fish this could turn you into a millionaire with a bit of effort and marketing! The world waits for no one, someone will get rich off this idea and I hope it is you but, again, the world waits for no one.
cannot wait for this update. Those glowing lichens inspired me to order my own uv flashlight to look around my area with :)
Good detail. This will be amazing!
Wow! I love it 😃
I can’t wait for the update!!!
An idea: if you can, find some UV light strips and paste them on the top of the vivarium, this way, you can simply turn it on at night and have a beautiful glowing scene of fungi, rocks, plants and small bugs all glowing together
My left ear loved this video!
youre the second person that said that? does it only play from one speaker? lol
@@sweetgumnyc7794 Yeah. I use headphones tho so Idk if you'd call it that still. =v
I so hope you manage to finish the update. This is really fascinating. 👍👍👍
i definitely will...finding suitable plant species has proven very difficult but between my testing and subscribers recommendations i am slowly making progress. i always knew this would be a community project :)
I'm definetly gonna keep checking for more videos from you. Avatar 1 is my favorite movie and Avatar 2 was jaw-dropping.
thanks for watching and its a difficult project that requires a lot of research but im slowly making progress
You've got a lot of interesting projects in some areas I've yet to venture. Lots of tips and ideas to pick up in anticipation or just to get me on the road to a new hobby. One thing I'm still waiting on is a video on your leather edge treatment - I hope you have the time to share that with us going forward. Anyway, just want to say I really enjoy your videos and the range of topics you cover. Keep up the good work!
hey henrik, i apologize, i have been so busy lately with work and a million personal projects i completely forgot about that. i promise ill make sure to include that in my very next video!
this is amazing i want to try this to, please update on the finished results :)
i will!
Please share your progress!💚 we’d love to see this!
I would love to see the outcome please document and upload an update If you can.
So exciting! I would love to see this actually come together, and I wonder if I can make a mini desktop Pandora terrarium 🤩
My left ear is loving this vid
I'm going to attempt an vatar pandora themed terrarium wth dendrobates tinctorius azureus dart frogs, and this video was such great inspiration! Thanks for posting!
Go for it!
I love this video man
Wow this opened up a whole new world for me! Have been planning to build a paludarium for a while, would it not be cool to have water in the bottom with fluorescent fish/shrimp/snails etc? 😃
Also hunting for fluorenscent things together with kids is a great activity, i will definitly show them the broccoli😁
I live in the Pacific Northwest and I've seen glowing lichen on trees and the forest floor at night before at a friend's house when I was younger. No black light/UV needed! Not sure what kind it was, I was a teen and I'm 39 now. But just wanted to mention that some mosses and plants from the state like Washington and New York etc need to go through a dormancy period and get cold etc so may not be suitable for a vivarium. But this is a cool idea! There are bioluminescent mushroom kits you can purchase also to seed the vivarium but be careful with the mushroom pins and springtails and other vivarium cleanup crew as they like to eat fungus!
are you sure they werent fungus that you saw? i too have seen glowing fungus in the forrest at night but i never heard of glowing lichens without a blacklight.
@@sweetgumnyc7794 It definitely could have been fungus. I was young and it was dark but I remember it being more like a lichen but I could be wrong.
If what you saw was real then its far better than Fluorescent that needs eye hurting UV light. Thats the real deal. Not cheap Fluorescent stuff that needs artificial UV Light to function.
Definitely need an update on this! I’ve been trying to do something similar
I need an Update ASAP!
Hey just found your video, how goes the build??? Very curious. Are u putting any mushrooms in there? Looking forward to part 2 of this! Good job man makes be wanna get one of these going
You should check out Mark rober's video on a bioluminescent algae waterfall! Would be a cool thing to incorporate into your vivarium if possible
im gonna check it out now, thanks!
This is such a cool idea, have you made any progress?
Fun fact, super snow leopard geckos yellow parts of their pattern glow brightly under blacklight. I figured this out because of my scorpion tank next to my gecko tank
This is absolute stunning. Please let us know if you’re going to achieve this project ❤
Because of this video I am sure I will find more will find more interesting videos here.
I use a UV flashlight just like yours to hunt for tomato worms in the garden after dark.
Looked on your channel with out seeing anything new. Curious how it's coming?
Bees and pollinators can see in the UV spectrum, a quick Google search shows that some flowers that bees like such as poppies reflect under UV
WHERE THE UPDATE MAN
Check out panellus stipticus mushrooms. You can get live cultures mailed to your door.
Did you ever finish?
u inspire me :D (says n artist)
Is this gonna happen at all?
Hay how did this turn out?
Have you heard of Glofish? It is a company that sells freshwater fish that are bioluminescent (although this is due to genetic engineering)
no but im definitely going to look into it!!
i wonder if you could get bioluminescent mushroom spores to grow inside of a vivarium
oh yea! for sure! lots of people grow those in dart frog vivariums.
Hi been a year, any new updates?
Ocean filled with glowing in the dark twilight zone
So excited to see what you create!
thanks for watching!
this is super cool but would it not be Bio-fluorescent as opposed to bioluminescent
Why isn't the audio in stereo?
i decided when i buy a crested gecko (my first reptile) im gonna theme the tank like pandora, if i can ofc.
where it at
Any updates ?
Is there a Part 2 or episode 2 of this build?
eventually...i am working on a few projects at the moment and busy with the holidays.
You can make anything fluoresce, you just can't make it bioluminescent. So think corals not fireflies.
update?
no update???
update soon?
Have you made it yet??? So excited to see how it turns out!
not yet..im juggling several projects ATM but i honesty cant do much more until i have tested a lot more plants. i have people in several facebook plant groups testing plants for me and will hopefully have some results soon.
@@sweetgumnyc7794 So awesome! I didn't know anything about vivariums before stumbling upon your video after watching Avatar, I think if you make it, stick a Na'vi action figure in there for the thumbnail, you'll get lots of views haha. Looking forward to seeing what it looks like :)
@@sweetgumnyc7794 Any chance you can put some of this Algae in there?

@@Chief oh wow i have never seen that before. its really interesting. im researching now...thanks!
@@sweetgumnyc7794 Of course! I'm invested in this bioluminescent vivarium of yours now haha!
How's it coming along??
slowly but definitely making progress
How are you progressing? Been keeping my eye on this
my problem is finding leafy and flowering plants that are suitable. apparently not many i have come across yet seem to work but im still testing everything i can get my hands on and will definitely be posting an update when i have something. i have a few people in facebook plant groups doing some testing for me so hopefully i find some interesting results soon..
@@sweetgumnyc7794 Love your commitment to the project. Thank you for the update! I'll keep watching
Where’s the update 😭
I think the sensitive plant - mimosa pudica is fluorescent
Aren't you concerned that using 365nm can cause damage to the plants and animals?
I'm no expert but as far as I know you should use I protection if you are dealing with this wavelength for a few minutes
I doubt that shining it directly on animals for like 10 minutes or something at a time will be good for them
i dont intend on using it as a regular light source. just a sort of demonstration option that will only be used for very short amounts of time which i imagine will be safe.
Update?
Floating rocks to mimic the Hallelujah mountains
wish we could see the final build
Make glowing lake but it grow with sunlight and at nighttime you touch it glow
I am trying to make one of these too! Has been in the works for a bit. Are there any black light bars to light a terrarium you recommend? I created a floating mountain terrarium and bought a van sky uv 365 nm flash light and it works great! Lots of central park moss fluoresces magenta! But I have so far tried two different brands of light bars to place over my avatararium and they don't make the moss glow at all. I thought black light was all the same but i guess i was wrong. have you run into this issue or is there a brand you recommend that makes light bars/strips i can put over the terrarium that will make the plants fluoresce? Thanks!

ahhhhh, now this is a brilliant question actually and something im researching. i have noticed that when it comes to bioluminescence in plants, its not only the wavelength that matters but also the intensity and direction of the light. i have directed uv flashlights on plants and they only minimally fluoresce but when the light is focused, the florescence gets much brighter. this leads me to believe that in order to get the most reactive display, a more spotlight type of light would be better than florescent tubes or leds. its definitely something im playing around with and will post results when i have them
Yo what’s up with this project!!! Why isn’t there anything ahead
How do things glow in nature if there is no UV light or anything? But we do need a UV light
There is UV in the daytime, we are just evolved to see the visible spectrum while for example bees see in the UV range
@@archiewills5502 EXACTLY :)
you will be surprised , i have seen glowing mushroom when it gets dark
Please do a part 2
working on it...its been difficult finding uv reactive leafy and flowering plants but i have been slowly making progress
have you tried begonia or jewel orchid Macodes petola ? there a mushroom that glow in the dark , some morph of ball python does glow , btw just bring a uv torch light to a plant nursery and test it for free ,haha
i thought about that but i need total darkness , you cant see a UV reaction unless its only UV light.
I have a small peice of ubrilite its arguably my favorite rock.
im obsessed with opals and agates recently!!!
Yo.... where's the vivarium
We have a mushroom in my village that can glow
Need update!
When are you starting?❤
i cant do much until i find more leafy and flowering plants that naturally fluoresce..i have several people in tropical plant groups very interested in this project and they have ordered UV flashlights so they can help test. I always suspected that something like this would need to be a community project because there are just too many plant species that need to be tested. Im certain that there are some really amazing species hiding out there but its going to take a community effort to find them. I hope to start getting some people posting there results soon.
Update??
😢
No leí todo, pero usa agua bioluminisente.
I NEED AN UPDATE!!!!
my right ear is jealous
Please re-upload the follow up..... It disappeared somehow? ;-)
I just made this 1k likes.
Update or what brother
Where is the update!? come on your just teasing !
No one told you to get a decent mic?
Yeah, it sucks that I have to hear someone talking in the background while I'm trying to listen to the beautiful ceiling fan.
Have you checked eggs? 😂
rip my right ear
You found a lot of stuff that glow WITH UV light, but what about finding ones that, even with a few hour "charge", glow without a UV light? According to the information you shared about your research about animals being able to glow, NON OF THEM where explained to be able to glow without UV lights. this confused me because the articles you shared said that animals have developed the "ability" to glow, but no one has ever been able to just walk outside to find these special animals glowing on theire own in complete darkness. Even that pitcher plant cant "glow" without artificial light shining on it. Not that impressive nor anything like pandora unless they can do it completely on their own just as all the plants and animals in pandora do. Thats what iv been on the search for for so many years now.
Mushrooms?
Its Wrong to call is Bioluminescent. This was all just Fluorescent. They are both completely different things 🤨
