It Took 2 Years to Build This Massive Jungle Aquarium

- When I broke the 350 gallon paludarium back in 2022, I didn't expect it to take this long to replace. I had a very specific aesthetic that took awhile to craft and time got the best of me. I also wanted to let it season for a good while before showing it here. There's more to come and this tank is not what it appears to be.
A huge thanks to everyone who provided products that helped make this build possible (none of these were provided with a paid promotion or endorsement).

I can't wait to show you what's next for this one. It has some incredible features that take it over the top. What do you think about it so far? Since it's the spiritual successor to the old 350 I wanted it to have a similar jungle feel, just with more scaping and aquatic plants. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
This my weekly ritual to watch my favorite channel. The oak tree’s wild twists and bend add movements to the layout. I always love how you do layout. I also like the quality of Buce Plant.
I just came up on a 90g that I'll more than likely try and duplicate this tank as. Can't wait to see next week's vid!!
Oh my goodness, I can’t wait
The suspense, the cliffhanger, .... love it and cannot wait!
great story line!! BTW, When did mohawks come back into style?
Also, while I have the chance,I would like to say that your content is so amazing that it could easily be stretched into 20 or 30 minute videos and I would still love it! A nice break from the short form content that is all the rage these days 😊
Totally agree, I would love to see longer videos. : )
I would also love to see longer videos. But I get why he keeps them short. It's a lot more practical from a production standpoint.
god yes, I wish this was a 30min video; I'd definitely watch that.
It will be easily as enjoyable as It is if this was 30 minutes long
I’ve been commenting this on his videos for a while!
There's something about the phrase "Thankfully the boys arrived" that always makes me grin uncontrollably
Honestly kudos to the friend who spotted that that was a great picture. Genuinely they have an eye for composition. ❤
I love that background. He can expose it to the elements, cut it into pieces, even take a wire brush to it, and it still looks perfect.
Mate I swear every time you make something it’s a banger
The cliffhanger! Tanner you monster!
Yeah exactly. ...Talk about a Homer Simpson "DOHHH!!" Moment, lol 😂🤣😅😂😎
The boys!!! Big thanks to the boys! I could cry over the cliff hanger 😂😂 but im sure its great for viewer engagement and I'm looking forward to the rest of the build!
God bless the boys
LOVE buceplants glad you partnered with them. Best company for aquatic plants in my eyes
Definitive proof that the answer to 99% of problems is a great group of guys.
aw, cliffhanger! Awesome work so far!
Right!! I didn't realized how invested I was in this build until the video ended. I was like, "What?"😂.
Can't wait to see the finished tank! Your channel is one of my favorites on youtube, and has given me so many great tips, techniques, and ideas for my own vivarium and aquarium builds. I've always loved the naturalistic "miniature world" look, but your builds are definitely next-level.
I have been so invested into your channel, series and videos that I just wish I could do what you do one day. I don't currently have the ability to create my own type of aquarium/vivarium/paladarium etc. But through watching your videos I believe when I get the chance I would be quite sufficient in creating a healthy environment for life. Thankyou so much for your fantastic videos Tanner! You are the best and most informative TH-camrs in your trade of small ecosystems builders and I appreciate your work immensely.
You can start small with a 1 gallon jar while you dream of giant tanks! I started learning about making balanced enclosed ecosystems from watching the earliest Serpa videos. I live in a 400sf cabin and I'm seriously disabled so I don't have a lot of room or resources to put toward them. Four years ago I started with a 2 gallon acrylic aquarium and a bunch of stuff I found in my yard or near my house. I would love to do bigger but what's within reach is quite awesome and has taught me a lot.
“That should be your new profile picture”
“What?”
“That.”
Made me crack up 😂 this tank is beautiful!
He has a point
hes kinda awkward lol
SO GLAD THE AQUARIUM CONTENT IS BACK!
Honestly I'd love a step by step guide on how you build your stands at some point! They look so amazing and it'd be cool to be able to make my own one day
Just to help communicate, with larger projects like these I have no issue with you using multiple videos. Always great seeing the vision come together.
OMG, I CAN'T WAIT FOR PART 2!!!! the tank already looks so beautiful (as always!), but I can't wait to see the finished product, and I bet it's amazing!!
Impressive execution. Happy to have the opportunity to assist you with this amazing project. Can't wait for part 2!
So glad to see a resurrection of the old Paludarium, even if it’s a wee bit different. The hardscape looks amazing-you have both a skilled eye for placement plus your experience-all those years of on-the-job-training! The plants, while seemingly infinite, really rock the joint!
Oh no, a cliffhanger! How can you! I MUST binge!❤
Thanks for not using "just" (that I noticed) related to anything involved in this monumental creation. No work as beautiful and captivating as yours could result from anything but intense planning and excellent, experienced execution. Making us appreciate what your projects involve is one of the reasons i love your videos. Can't wait for the sequel!
you are so good at posting the moment i wake up. great start to the day. i was looking forward to you rebuilding this.
Oh man its always good when I get my first cup of coffee and see that he's dropped this week's video. Sometimes I wait for the kiddos, depends what it is. One of them LOVES moss as much as I do. 😂
It is 2:30 PM here in Belgium.
Ooh, Tanner, you tease!!! Next week it is then, I am so curious to watch part 2, I hope this week speeds by!!!
Caught a glance of the reef tank at 1:52! I'm really looking forward to an update on that.
Great build as always! I love when the boys pull up and all pile out of the back seat
Can’t wait to see the next video - another beautiful tank. Such talent - well done.
What?!?! Noooo! I want to know now! lol. This is epic and beautiful and I can’t wait for the video with the fish in it. Your builds are pure art! ❤ Thank you for sharing this with us. God bless!
I admire your desire to create these near perfect habitats for the animals ❤
I believe that every pet lover/animal lover should strive to do the same.. or don't bring so many animals home if you can't give them adequate housing!
I know.. that's unrealistic.. but on a serious note.. if you limit yourself to one or two exhibits.. you CAN enrich them over time!
Yes.. I have felt sorry for many animals that I've seen in captivity 😢
Especially if they were caught in the wild!!!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passion with us.. ☺️
Can't wait for the upcoming videos ❤️
Thanks for the tip about saving the pots and stuff when you buy plants to reuse!
I like the quick peek we get at the salt water aquarium towards the beginning!!!!
This setup is worthy of a major aquarium! Incredible!
I just am so impressed how far you’ve come over the years.
Cliffhanger! Love it! See you next week!!! Can't wait! The tank looks amazing already!!!!
Dear Tanner, I'm eager for the next installment! It would also be delightful to have an update on your backyard pond. Thanks for all of the beautiful, informative videos.
I'd honestly love to see you take one of those little Zilla Micro Terrariums (the flat pack acrylic ones) and turn it into a paludarium with a full-on water feature. Mostly because I want to do that myself and I want to see you do it first, lol.
Just liked before watching. Completely certain it will be of the highest quality!
Da hast du eine ganz tolle Arbeit geleistet! Das Aquarium ist super geworden!!!! 👍👍
This is why I love TH-cam at the moment.
The editing and effects on this video are so CLEAN!
It's crazy that it's been 2 years since you moved, it feels so recent.
Love the setup, can't wait for next week.
I reckon you should have a go at stocking some Australian Rainbowfish into like a rainforest creek jungle or something, that'd be so awesome. Great Video
I love this project honestly just because mega tanks are super cool. Your channel has been super inspirational for me, I've definitely made my lil 10 gallon betta tank look alot better with some of the concepts.
I like how it's easy to transfer the good ideas from the big impressive builds even to my teeny 4.5 gallon ecosystem aquarium. My low maintenance snails and beginner plants are happy as heck due to stuff I learned here.
The cliffhangerrrrrrr!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait to see it in its final form. So far, it’s gorgeous!
1:58 LMAO Tanner's blip into existence 2:08 as the profile pic for the channel killed me.
Honestly I think the cameraman is at least half right; I think it'd be super cool to see you proudly in front of one of your beautiful setups as the official pfp - but I think his point was actually the clear look of joy / relief / happiness in your expression exactly at 2:03, as that's typically my expression while watching your new uploads haha. Love the art Serpa, you're killin' it!
Wow awesome scape, can't wait for the fish and other potential critters
Always enjoy the content, Serpa. I am currently building a turtle paladarium for a southern painted turtle I rescued while I was at work! Love all the ideas and designs you are able to pull off and how much they have helped me throughout my building and creative processes :)
Leave us hanging much!! I. Can’t. Wait!!! ❤
Can't wait for part 2! Your diy skills are second to none!
Hello from Aus, Bloody awesome mate, that is one hell of a set up. I cannot wait to see the finished product 😀
This is going to look amazing. I'm really looking forward to the final results.
It ended just as I was getting super invested :(
I wouldn’t hate longer videos haha
I’m so excited to see the finished tank!
I need you to get green ankles and Bahaman anoles. Don’t put them together but get them they are awesome and super interactive and just overall so much fun. You can also fit 5 in a 20 gallon tank, they usually cost around 8 dollars, and they are just beautiful lizards.
It's always nice to hear you explain your thought process while designing the aquarium, this gives me some good insight when/if I ever decide to create my own.
There's no when or if in this hobby. Just dive in and learn as you go. I've been following Serpa Design for 6 years now. If there's one thing I've learned, it's that tanks and techniques are always evolving. The more you do the more you learn.
I look forward to eating breakfast and watching your videos every Saturday
I love your videos. The only thing wrong with them is that they’re too short. I want more more more. Don’t want them to end!
What an amazing looking setup. Excited for the rest of the details and inhabitants.
Anxiously awaiting the next episode!
Im looking forward to this series! Ive been building a similar setup for about 2years, if you're doing what i think you're doing! Very excited to see
What a clifhanger! Can't wait till next week!
Nooooo! I can't wait! Man, this is fascinating and gorgeous. I look forward to the next video!
Oh my goodness! Cliffhanger much Tanner 😂🌿 can’t wait to see the next video! It’s looking awesome so far!
2 years in 10 minutes is crazy, respect
AHH THE CLIFF HANGERRR
Cant wait to see the final grow out of this tank. Beautiful start
Ahhh! A cliffhanger!
It's really lovely as always 😊
I loved this one sooo much. Aquariums are my favourite. I've had one for a while, but It's probably the most simple boring one ever(3 guppies lol) I'm hoping to put together a planted aquarium with guppies, swordtails and some kinda catfish, and Buce Plants sounded like such a perfect place to get plants, but they dont ship to Australia!! I'm soooo sad!. Gotta find a different place to get them
Amazing video as always, Tanner! Your inspiration is unmatched.
Looks like a cool group of friends you have !
ooooh the foreshadowing! Good hook at the end, Tanner!
Not the cliffhanger ending!!! 😭😂 I was gonna watch next week anyway I promise lol. The tank looks amazing. I love these videos and they always make me a bit sad I live in an aquarium free apartment
I can't believe there is a cliffhanger on an aquascape channel. Looking forward to the next one!
A cliffhanger! I can’t wait for the next episode. LOL, so far this looks great. It’ll be nice to see it stocked. Lots of interesting features with this build.
What an amazing looking aquarium. This vid is top notch.
The Final look ❤❤❤❤❤❤🤗🤗😳👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ..... will wait for the plants to fill in
It was my most fav setup of your whole TH-cam lol... So so happy it's getting done again🎉🎉❤
This is absolutely beautiful
totally excited for this project
CLIFFHANGERS!
Finally! I've been waiting all this time for this! 🤣 The og one which broke was honestly my favourite setup of yours and since it broke each week I've been waiting for this video 🤣
Ik ur probably not going to see this but I’m 12 and I’ve been watching u for so long I’ve watched all of your videos and I love them so so so so much and your such a giant inspiration to me because I have a turtle and a fresh water beta fish because of you and I love reptiles and animals and I really wanna be like u when I’m older and I really want a tree frog but my top one is a white tree frog and I love all your video and u will never know how much you mean to me and my parents think what you do Is cool to because I showed you too them and all your tank and terrarium designs and I said I wanna make stuff like that and stuff and they thing it’s cool too I really want a crested gecko too I really hope u see this
WAUW, love the outcome so far. I stay away from backgrounds myself. But seeing this one I might reconsider! Looking forward to the folow up.
I absolutely love your content!! This looks absolutely amazing!!❤
Thanks for a great video Tanner! I can't wait for next weekend.
Your videos are so great, and I think they will be better in a longer format
A wise woman once told me that glass is meant to break, its just a matter of when. That has helped me let go and accept the inevitable. Thank you, Cynthia, even though you will never read this.
Absolutely stunning. What a cliffhan😮as well
Aw man, what a cliffhanger! Can’t wait to see how this one pans out!
Have you ever thought about a tank for eels? I ask because it's my dream tank. Using a backdrop like this tank but hiding a network of pipes for the eels to move around in.
When we start manufacturing new worlds, I want to live in the SerpaDesign Sector.
What!? We have to wait another week? 😅 I'm loving what you've done so far. Can't wait to see the finished product. (Gina)
Amazing work as always. I always love your work
Great start!
WOW THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
Please make longer videos 🙏
Do an Aquarium with Glofish !
the thumbnail makes me think of the huge one antscanada is currently doing. i think the two of you are the ones i know for doing scape enclosures. i'm kinda getting really into the ecosystem scapes. it's like nature tv. in a way that's different from just a small scape for an animal, or even a fishtank.
Not you leaving us on a cliff hanger!!! Hahah this was awesome. Great work as always.
Cool! Would love to see something built with axolotls in mind!
Can't wait for part two!
