Making a Unique 1.3 Gallon NANO RIPARIUM

- I like the first nano riparium so much that I decided to make another! Like I said in the video, the first was intended to be an angled tank like this, but I decided to save it for another build once I got started. Here's a link to that video in case you missed it: • Making a 0.8 Gallon NA...
I really like how this one turned out as well. What do you think? Looking at it now, I think I'm going to add some botanicals. I could have added more plants, but I like the negative space created by the lack of plants in certain areas. However, I think that botanicals will elevate the design, without taking away from that feature.
Believe it or not a lot of plants will work in this type of setting. Just look for things that like soggy/wet soil or grow in or near bodies of water in nature (i.e. marginal plants). Most aquarium plants will also do really well in a setup like this, but you will most likely have to gradually acclimate them to the open air.
As promised, here is the Plant List: Syngonium podophyllum (variegated), Rabbit's Foot Fern, Alternanthera ficoidea, Purple Waffle Plant, Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Bronze', Tillandsia ionantha 'Red', Salvinia Minima, Micromeria brownei, Ludwigia Narrowleaf, Liverwort and Badge Moss
Lastly, I figured it might be useful to share a video on cutting glass. It's really easy to do and something I won't make a video on. However, this is the best one that I could find on it: • How to Cut Glass & Mir...

Another nano riparium?! You know it! I like how this one turned out a lot. Which do you like better, this one or the first?
Definitely this one
This build is definitely an improvement to the original. Excited to see this grow in
Love this one
this one but the other is good to :)
SerpaDesign love your video! Always a pleasure to watch your art in progress and listen to your narration!
You should write a book about plants for different set ups. I would buy it in a heart beat.
Maybe I am. 😉
I'd also buy it! @@SerpaDesign
yeah great idea, should list all terrarium plants all around the world too
I WOULD BUY IT TOO!
Me too!
"I know you can do it, but you have to give it an honest try."
That's most genuine thing I've heard on the internet in while. I'm actually gonna go look for a jar
It's totally true though. I get a lot of comments from people who want to try it, but won't take the step out of far. You got this!
Did you manage to make one?
My mother has kept classic fresh water fish tanks most of my life. She got an outdoor pound set up for Koi about fifteen years ago. She is getting older, and has arthritis. This makes it hard for her to do the water changes. She's quite good with plants, always has been. I'm looking at this and thinking something like this would be really good for her as she's aging. It would allow her to have an aqua scape but cut out the painful and difficult bits of water changes. Maybe something a bit bigger that has a moving water aspect and could play home to some sort of small shrimpy or something.
All that is to say, thank you for the inspiration. I look forward to sharing this video with my mom!
I think that's a great idea! Terrariums could be a good option as well, since you get the same feel, but no water.
I am hoping to get her started on your channel and then see if any of it takes. Thank you so much for the comment
Have you ever considered doing a mangrove style build? I live in Florida and I’d love to set up an aquarium that reflects the environment of the mangrove swamps near where I grew up, but I have no idea where to start.
I will some day, but I only want to do it on a large scale, so I'm not sure when I'll have time/space to pull it off.
I am planning to start a 5 gallon tank just to grow mangroves
I like the idea, but wont the mangrove producing sulfur (which im not sure depends on the amount of salt in its enviroment) be off putting?
That would look truly breathtaking
OMG YES!!! Mangroves are sooo amazing!
man, i have a fern problem that could develop to be on par with your moss addiction. that rabbit's foot fern is adorable
I forgot what type but it was either brittle or lady fern. Some of them look alike.
To people who wanna try: if you're afraid of cutting glass (measuring wrong) you can practice on really thick cardboard (like the ones on the back of good drawing pads). They are as thick as glass and will teach you how to account for the glass width, which is really the only tricky part to measuring.
If you put a nano tank right next to it with a bridge connecting the two tanks, shrimps would be able to venture between the two water bodies and their habitat would become exponentially bigger as you add more tanks with bridges. I have three tanks connected like that at the moment and my shrimps love it. Love your videos and have a great weekend. Greetings from South Africa!
Cool idea!!!
Okay just checked out your Fish Bridge video and it is EPIC! Subscribed because of your wildlife videos though.
Wow! I took a look at your channel and subscribed. ☺️ Cool DIY projects.
"Unidentified rocks...undisclosed location."
Alright, so they're stolen
Yup
Or they are spy rocks that need to have their identity secret or their cover is blown!
"Hot" rocks???
Didn’t you hear? He got them from Cliff
His neighbour did look the other way to be fair.
*Cliff* gave you *stones?*

Who knew mountains could be so generous.
Lol I'm dying 😂
Missing the oak leaf creeping fig haha
touche
Your videos are like therapy. I love them! Never stop. This one was terrific!
😊
Agreed
Wow this looks stunning Tanner. Great work as always! Thankyou for making the start of my Saturday great!
Thanks dude! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful!!! I just built my first aquarium and you were definitely an inspiration. Keep up the good content!
That's awesome to hear!
This turned out beautifully, great job Tanner. I always look forward to your videos.
Hey man! Your videos are awesome! This content has gotten me into terrariums and it is honestly one of the most peaceful things to build, care for, and watch change over time. I truly thank you for being so informative about everything you do. Keep up the good work!
I really liked the use of the little floating plants.
put some daphnia in there! i've seeded some of my pure planted nano tanks with daphnia and now have multiple cultures to feed my fish
What a work and what a beautiful result.
Dude like, I'm so amazed you can make so many different builds snd still have room, money for lightings, time to care for and everything. It's truly amazing, you are Super human.
Another amazing project! Nice job man.
So happy for another video thank you again for everything I have learnt so much from you and have built my own terrarium and got my own isopods basically all thanks to you!
this is absolutely beautiful, i love nano builds, and the unique shape of the tank is honestly so cool.
its something i just never would have thought of doing.
It’s so nice. The plants and glass shape really make it feel open and alive
This looks amazing! Awesome to see all the different kinds of plants in one place.
A charming little riparium!!
Stunning as always. That Salvinia is adorable!
It’s nice seeing the progression of your channel and your passion for your craft. Thanks a lot for sharing.
As always, Tanner, amazing build!
Love it Tanner!
Beautiful creation
Love it! You bring so much life to these tiny environments!
Looks great!
I swear I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks much. Your awesome. Beautiful build.
Beautiful! You make it look so simple! Thanks for the inspiration!
I love watching your videos while I paint
Another beautiful piece of art ! Great work Tanner !
Love your terrarium/Vivarium/riparian builds that you put animals in
I absolutely LOVE it! I'm inspired to create my own now! Thank you for a great video, as always!
That is absolutely beautiful.
Thanks for the encouragement! A riparium is my next project for sure.
You're welcome!
All of your builds are so inspirational
A great thing to learn and a great job is a botanist/ master gardener. She showed my brothers and I how to grow exotic plants indoors and outdoors. I feel it would be beneficial to what you do.
Beautiful tank! Catching up on some of your earlier content atm, and loving it, thanks!
Beautifully done Tanner, and I like that you aren't in a rush to stock it with anything, there is so much to enjoy on its own as it grows in.
I appreciate this comment, a lot! Everyone always wants to see it stocked right away.
What's not to love here? It's awesome!
Gorgeous! So stunning
Gorgeous tank! Great work!
That's really pretty. I just finished my first little landscape in a six-liter glass with plants from the forest behind my house, it was fun and it looks great so far, hope everything survives. Thanks for inspiring me to start doing this, this is a great hobby.
I can’t wait to build something like this!!
I get a lot of inspiration from your designs.
Very nice build, Tanner!
Absolutely adore this build! Ty soooo for sharing your gift with us! You have such a knack for all these things tanks and plants! I plan to try this myself here in the next week or so and will definitely share how it works out... or doesnt, lol!
OMG, this is so beautiful ! 😍
Soooooo lovely... Like a complete mini dream place to retreat to!
Great looking tank! The hardscape looks amazing and very natural, the plants are also looking awesome, I never knew that badge moss could go underwater. Can't wait for the next tank!
Yeah it does great actually!
7:10 looks like a desert tree of some kind growing out from under the rocks, really neat!
that looks GREAT
This is really great stuff
Great video! You’re really through with your information, really liked this video.
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Great, I was planning to make a riparian and you helped me choose how I want it to look, thanks
Your work always looks so beautiful!
Good word, you're a man of talent
I’m learning all the time as I anticipate my first terrarium or riparium-e.g., using egg crate and rubber mat to disperse the weight. Thank you.
You're like my idol bro. Love your channel, love your builds and everything. :)
Thanks Cliff!
honestly i think this is one of my favourite builds so far. amazing work again tanner, keep up the stunning work :)
Thank you! I really like it as well.
Really feeling the excitement in your voice
Good job man, looks awesome!!
Another awesome build.
Love the settup
Great job! :)
Very nice design! U keep getting better at this
Love your builds!
Looks so Beauty and natural, as always in your projetcs. Making me feels like I should try to build some terrarium. Keep going! Greetings from Poland :)
Nice project!
As always you do amazing work. I love the fact that the tank is hand made. Just gives it a slightly more creative/original feel. I also like that you aren't stocking it. Not ever thing needs animals to make it look natural. Also you are getting really really good at your info delivery in these videos and your inspirational pieces of advice are awesome! I love what this channel has grown and is growing into :) I'll follow you til the day you stop posting.
Looks great
I think it turned out really well too !
Amazing!! I'm going to give this a shot!
super inspirational! thanks!
stunning!
Thanks for that 👍, looks very cool 🙏✌
Pretty neat!
Love it! Thanks for the inspiration 😊
Man this is awesome !! Thanks wonderful vid!
Great job
Awesome and super unique! Love it. You have such a creative mind. Keep up your amazing work!!!
Thank you very much I appreciate your comment!
@SerpaDesign I've binge watched a dozen of your videos. I love your work! I am a glazier and I'd like to offer 2 tips minor tips.
1. You are pressing the glass cutter too hard into the glass leaving a much more ragged edge. A light score is all you need.
2. Use 180-220 wet or dry aluminum oxide sand paper to knock down the edge.. one quick pass on each side at a slight angle is all you need.
I'll pipe in when I think I can help!
Keep it up!! YOUR AWESOME!!
It looks fantastic! Thank you for being so thorough in your steps- I have already begun work on my nano riparium and your advice gives me the confidence to not freak out if a mistake is made. 😂
Haha glad I could encourage you!
So cool!
I absolutely love your work...so inspiring. Wish I had more space, but that would be filled quickly.
Every Saturday you post so then you make my day start off AMAZING agin thank you for making my mornings better!
Same here! Saturdays with SerpaDesign!❤🌿🌱🦎🐠
Love to hear that!
This was epic dude keep up the great work
You are so clever. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Nice scape! The only things I would add is some Ludwigia Repens on the right back corner area, and some Spanish moss pieces to each of the tallest two branches. Make them short at first so they can grow. When they reach the water just trim them back and glue them to the tops of the branches again to tuft up the tops. You can even train it to spiral around the branches. definitely add some Malaysian Trumpet Snails, some Daphnia, Cyclops, Seed Shrimps, Triops, freshwater aquatic Isopods, and even add some fresh water mussels and clams.
I need a man who's dedicated to me just as much as your dedicated to your terrariums.
Gorgeous😍
Looks cool.
Looks awesome!These vids are a such a saturday ritual.
Thanks! Glad to see you've stuck around this long.
