Bog Orb Riparian Planters Aquascape (DIY Upflow Filtration Aquarium)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 10 ก.ค. 2024
- In this one, I make a unique type of aquarium that I've had in concept for awhile now. It uses a few of the concepts from the upflow overflow aquascape ( • Upflow Overflow (Infin... ), but with its own sort of twist and flavor. What do you think of the result?
As you well know, I really like the idea of using riparian (emersed) plant growth to filter my tanks. They're very effective at doing so and they look great in the process. In this instance, I decided to create an upflow filter system with a few glass orbs and other materials I had around the house.
I've also seen a few comments recently that wanted me to outline the deconstruction and build process of making tanks in more detail. I took the opportunity to share that since I was doing it already. Like I said though, it's easier to buy a pre-made enclosure or get pre-cut glass from a local glazier. Do so at your own discretion and be sure to wear gloves and safety goggles.

I've had this one in concept for a little while now and am really excited to share it with you! What do you think of the result? Let me know! I personally think it has a cool vibe about it. I'm excited to see how it progresses. Anyway, enjoy the video and have a great day SerpaSquad!
Overall I think it looks amazing however I think the top plants contrast with the scapes scale otherwise another great build for the animal room.
Tanner, please buy some running pliers! They aren’t expensive and it take a lot of work out of cutting glass!
I'm usually amazed by not only your artistry but your presentation of information and video capture, however there's something special about this one, at least to me anyway. It's simplicity of aesthetic along with the different but fitting glass orbs coupled with the choice of sand/ rocks in the foreground really hits the mark for me. Well done!
Have a grate week man
Amazing job!!
Side note for anyone making their own aqua/terrariums: pull the tape off immediately after you apply the silicone beads. This will ensure a clean line. If you wait for too long, the silicone becomes tacky and the edges of your silicone seams will peel up slightly. It won't harm the tank, but if you want a cleaner look, this is something I'd recommend. I learned it the hard way!
Hi Tanner, I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with all of the tips/tricks you teach us. Most people would just show it being done. You really make it easy for someone who wants to try this out for themselves. I appreciate that!!!
Same, respect to him
Love how you experiment with such different set ups
He legit inspires me so much I wanna start doing this as a hobby
Bloody oath! I love how he explains every single action he does, as well as why he is doing it, bloody legend! Best videos on TH-cam ❤
I'd be interested in learning about automatic misting systems and how you could use them to optimize the health of plants and critters enjoying their environment. Love the channel! Keep it up!
I use the mist king on all of mine. You can get it from Josh's frogs.
Tanner really doesn't use any automatic misters. He's got a MistKing on his three gecko enclosures (I think it's a MistKing? I know it's some sort of mister) but that's really it. The MistKing is the absolute best on the market tho.
Are we not all some kind of misters
You are gonna love the most recent video 🤣
This is amazing. Also your killing me with all the inspiration you're giving out. I have started building tanks for other people because I am out of approved tank space in my home 😂❤️
I hope you are doing well building tanks for others and I think you will be doing and awesome job keep up the good work
damn if you're doing this for money, let me know! I would love help from someone who was confident enough to experiment with setups like this
Good on you Kristin I really hope that you are doing a really great job respect and peace to you Kristin 😎✌
@@johnfanning571 I totally help for tips. I am very good at building lower maintenance systems that also look pretty decent. I recently built a Betta tank with peace lily and pothos on top for my little old neighbor lady and walked my friend through a set up so that she could start her tropical plant cuttings in it.
@@feefifofum04 oh OK awesome well done 😎and I think you are an angel of art and master peaces
This is so gorgeous. I really love how the orbs just look like they were set down in some water and are thriving. Your eye for scaping things up is spectacular. I just re-watched the upflow tank you made previous to this last night and this is truly a wonderful second go at it. You've inspired me to add water into my plant room. One day when I have the courage I'll give it a try. I don't know if I'll ever add animals- but I will totally have water features.
Your final layout has a silhouette reminiscent of a pirate ship. Another work of art Mr. Tanner; thanks for sharing and inspiring.
Beautiful scape and great design! The glass bowls will look neat when you can start to see the root systems as the plants grow.
Tanner, I've always enjoyed your creations, and your latest videos just take them to the next level! The set up itself is beautiful, and I really appreciate how you share the steps along the way. I know it is a lot of work to film separate shots of just the tools, and then go back and edit it music, but those details are noticed, and appreciated. I think it's humble and encouraging that you share that you've been doing this for a very long time, to help manage expectations for those newer to the hobby. Awesome build; those rasboras and snails are lucky!
I agree with you
Wow. Anyone else amazed at the amount of incredible ideas and pioneering methods that Tanner has produced? What a unique setup!
I also really appreciated the more informative video this week. Perfect timing, because I’m planning on cutting glass today for a new setup I’ve been working on lately. Thanks for going over the process! ✌️
Absolutely wonderful! I love when you do scapes that are quite different. The fish definitely give it a pop of colour. I am always in awe of your talent.
Thank You so much for taking the time, explaining the tools, materials, and your thoughts so clearly. My Grandson is 6 yrs old and a little engineer. He watches your videos with great interest and has attempted to recreate your beautiful works. I appreciate your thoughtful and kind ways of explaining! Kind Regards ✌️
I love how with mastering the basics of tank care, you can come up with such awesome and creative ideas! Really inspired to make something unique :)
Floating plants always make these sorts of scapes for me, I dont know why but I just love the look of how they reach into the water
I just love the calmness of your voice and the beautiful scapes you build.
I love watching you explain why you do each step! It makes the process very satisfying.
What a beautiful build, Tanner, and your pronounciation of Süßwassertang is getting better and better :D
Thumbs up from Germany!
I like the thinking around plant selection and bio interactions. Good one.
Have been kicking around the idea of a above water planted tank for a while and return to your videos repeatedly. You are so very good at breaking down your process so that it is easy to follow. thank you so very much! You truly are the reason that all my reptiles have fully bio-active. Thank you for helping me to give them the very best!
Oh I love this!! Gives me ideas for my Axolotl tank… he couldn’t bother the planting substrate. Great job, once again!
There's always new things to learn from your videos! Thank you!
Bogs are amazing. I love this build Tanner.
I've had a large outdoor pond for 10 years and a prerequisite when I built it was a large bog. It's made maintenance a cinch and my water is always crystal clear - always.
Year after year, video after video, set up after set up, your creations never fail to amaze and leave in awe. Bless you & your talent my bro
Very original. Tanner makes it look so easy. Love it
what a unique idea. looks incredible
Incredible! I love the natural system on this one with the glass. Thanks for all the tips always. Can’t wait to try it!
Mind Blown. This was a total surprise! Soothes my mind just looking at it.
I like this idea! The orbs are super cool and all the plant life flowing from them is beautiful
This was the most beautiful and serene scape you've ever made. My jaw was on the floor.
Thanks for sharing this. It's very different but that's the exact reason why I absolutely love this! Can't wait to see the progress of this one. Have. Great day!
I LOVE how you talk through your process in a very clear understandable way
i dont like his voice tbh
Very unique and provides a good deal of items to look at. The fish are just right in scale. Nice!
Your honesty should be norm for digital media going forward; you teach and show us exactly what you do, and are completely honest about any paid promotion. Bravo.
These are honestly one of my favorite tanks that you do! Having the plants above the rim.
Beautiful and creative. Thank you for the step by step narrative, enjoys this very much.
It's absolutely breathtaking Tanner. 😍
This is so pretty and cool!i love the bowls with the plants and pumps, id never think of something like that
You have a great eye for these things. All your set-ups I have seen so far are all amazing.
Elegant and fresh as heck. Im excited to see it fill out soon!
sorks SO well. love how you dialed in the shadows for little cave areas.
I love that there are plants but let the tank itself is so clear and we have such a good view of those gorgeous fish. I never heard of them before, I think they're my new favorite in the animal room. 😍
this channel is emotionally cleansing. this piece looks great. i always love multi-container setups
As always, beautiful work.
Love it! Always look forward to seeing your new concepts become reality.
It stands out magnificently.
I love it! One of my favorites so far.
really beautiful!! I love how you encourage experimentation and then demystify the whole process so that other people can see what choices you made and hopefully feel less intimidated to do some fun and more unusual projects of their own!
This is so gorgeous. I cant get over how awesome it is!
I love your creativity and all the different types of scapes you build. This one is really cool.
Every thing you make is just amazing!
That is so beautiful. Great job
Hi Tanner! That looks so peaceful and lovely! Love this❤❤❤
Definitely a unique concept and beautiful, can’t wait to see it mature!
Absolutely love it. The raspboras look perfect and this is one of your best scapes yet in my opinion. 🌱🌿
As always another beautiful tank. Thank you for all your inspiration
I love it! It’s so lush and unique
super creative concept! Beautifully designed as always.
I love it! Floating plants, running water, and those fish are gorgeous! I can see how they got their name, but they look better than it suggests.
My daughters and I just love watching your channel.
So much brighter compared to past builds. I love it.
I love the way the bowls are nestled into the scape.
I love the look of this. The over flowing bowls make a stunningly simple statement. I thoroughly enjoy your channel and getting to see the results. Love from Australia.
our new house is getting finished this week, i cant wait to finaly have the room to try some of these designs (with my own twists of course)! thanks for all the informative videos they are going to be a huge help!
I realy like the flow of the wood in this build. Very gentle but striking. Lovely build as always.🙂
I love the orbs!! This is a beautiful aquascape…love the fish too!
i just love your works and how you example everything clearly tyvm for sharing !
i really like the final design of the scape. impressive.
Love your videos so much! Not only is your voice really calming and your vibe really friendly, but you generously share so much of what you have learned. I really like your attention to detail too!
Billiantly creative idea, well executed!
Another amazing video!
Another beautiful project!
He is the Bob Ross of aqua- and terra scaping, creating beautiful art while calming you like a warm tea in the winter. Nice work 👏🌿
This is beautiful! I fall in love with every build you make.
Tanner, that is SO COOL! I love all your work, but this one is so inventive!
I love this. I just found your videos and so glad I did. Very relaxing to watch. Thank you for sharing your skill and knowledge with everyone. Happy scapping.
The way he can encompass the captivating essence of nature and bring it indoors never ceases to amaze me, proud to be part or the SerpaSquad.
You're imagination knows no bounds! Keep it up!
Beautiful!
Also, thanks for the explanation at the end. That was very interesting
i absolutely love this concept and setup. so gorgeous! the orbs look so cool and the rest of the scape looks great!
I'm always amazed by your creativity and skill with your scaping projects, it's truly a treat to see each new creation. I really appreciate you explaining each step, it's nice to know what's going on and how you reach the final product. Thank you for making these incredible videos, I can't wait to see what you do next!
It looks beautiful!
I've just watched your movinf video, and after watching you set it up now, I can understand why you didn't want to take it apart! Its amazing 👏
Another amazing work!!
You my friend are incredibly talented. Keep up the good work. Inspiring.
Beautiful once again!
You'd think I would get bored of seeing a rimless tank being built, but I love watching it everytime.
This looked so cool! It blended so well
I absolutely love this. I can actually see myself doing something like this. All the filters and whatnot in aquascapes was always too much for me to handle but this is so simple and elegant once it’s set up! It’s a bit of work to start but the results just speak for themselves. Once again I’m blown away by your creativity and knowhow.
This is beautiful. You're an inspiration to me, I'm trying to create artworks for my animals to live in as well and your videos have taught me SO MUCH. Thanks for all you do!
I love the no-nonsense intro and the overall style of the video.
WOW incredible work
Really nice and looks relaxing
This is one of my favorite art-scapes that you have done up to this point 😍
Excellent! Always enjoy your content.
dude I found your account looking for a crested gecko vertical build and I saw the first Henry one you made when you had less than half your current subscribers, and it was super helpful, I converted a 30 gallon fish tank to vertical and initially only planted Pothos and dracaenas from Home Depot, but Its going 4 years strong with lots of new inhabitants such as a green anole, millipedes, snails, dubia roaches, a variety of springtails and isopods, flatworms, and beneficial fungi and mushrooms along with mosses and my favorite part is an orchid thats doing surprisingly well for a a crested gecko jumping all over the place lol. The devitrivores are becoming the most interesting part to me, how all of the plants and inhabitants synergies to form a natural forest ecosystem, I haven't had to clean the tank once and it looks pristine, and they make the soil extremely fertile essentially producing compost. The only maintenance I ever do is trim the Pothos leaves and put them back in, over four years its vines have grown deeply rooted and completely covering the background wall and its an amazing effect having sturdy living vines waffles(gecko) loves them. Its also good that the "bug" population is so high because it provides the lizards with the experience to naturally hunt. Since I watched your video, Ive been hooked and enjoy watching your builds. How much you have progressed especially in your vivarium builds is amazing its inspiring to seeing how innovative you can be. Keep up the great content
Beautiful,great design.
Once again you out did it Tanner love the concept it looks so natural with nature mixed in it 🎉💜
Thank you so much for sharing your start to finish process on this. I’ve been wanting to make something similar for Native Hawaiian plants, but have been struggling on the type of set up. Thank you! 🙏🏽💗
Looks so fantastic! Another great build Tanner 😊
I loved this concept super cool
