    Hey Benji! Regarding the reflective glass, all you need to invest in is a polarizing filter for your camera lens and just simply rotate it until you notice the reflection disappear. :)

    Hey Benji, here r a few tips to avoid reflection on terrariums.
    1. Get a matte black foam board, cut a hole of a size that your camera lense can poke through. With this method you would be able to shoot closer without your reflection.
    2. Leave your terrariums in darker surroundings, and observe where the reflection comes from. For instance 4:12 put a black cloth on the table and leave the tank in the middle.

    I love the look, it's going to be so nice when the moss grows in more. Aquariums and terrariums are so calming and bring life and light.

    Needed to relax after today, it wasn't exactly a christmassy christmas for me, so having your video to come back to at the end of it all is a real comfort ! Thank you for that, Benji !
    At first I wasn't sure how the terrarium was going to turn out but it ended up amazingly satisfying to look at !! Good job ! I want one now !

    I like your white red bowl that you used to put the moss in. Reminds me of my childhood memories. I lived in Vietnam during the time and it was the 90s - Y2K :). I remember eating instant noodles out of bowls like this after school waiting for after-school classes :) :) :)

    For your reflective glass issue, have you tried/heard of using a polarized lens filter? That should probably really help!

    you could have got a huge frame with glass in it at goodwill for $8.09 and a $2.99 glass cutter from harbor freight, cutting glass is wayyyyy easier than you make think, thats how i made a lid for my aquarium

    You should get a polarizing filter! It will make filming and photographing glass as it removes glare!

  • @helmutgensen4738
    @helmutgensen4738 ปีที่แล้ว

    You need a polarising filter on the lens - try linear or circular to cut reflections. Also intensifies the colours - especially light greens.

    Hi, love your content. I have a plant I'd recommend for these kinds of projects I never see anyone on TH-cam use, which is a real shame. Utricularia/Bladderwort stays really small and covers the ground like moss, but it also blooms and forms these awesome and constant carpets of flowers. Look into Utricularia sandersonii and pubescens especially. Their flowers and leaves are really tiny and look like small bunnies/faeries :D

    00:00 📚 Benji is assembling a bookshelf moss terrarium, inspired by an Instagram account.
    01:32 🌱 Benji plans to create Rolling Hills in the terrarium using rocks and charcoal as a base layer.
    03:42 💡 Benji uses reptis soil for the terrarium to avoid mold issues, preparing it before adding to the terrarium.
    06:01 🎨 Benji adds soil to the terrarium, focusing on creating slopes and shapes for depth.
    08:00 🏞 Benji aims to create a focal point in the terrarium to enhance visual interest.
    10:17 🌿 Benji adds Pearl Moss, cut into smaller pieces, to cover the soil, expecting it to grow over time.
    11:39 🪰 Benji introduces springtails into the terrarium to prevent mold growth.
    12:13 🔌 Benji sets up a grow light and adds a lid with a small gap for air exchange to the terrarium.
    13:32 🌌 Benji anticipates the terrarium to flourish over time, especially at night with illuminated effects.

Question for you about the light you use…do you know which brightness you have it set at most of the day? I’m about 3 weeks into my tank and not noticing much new growth, and wondering if the light is too intense.
