Firewood Made an Incredible Aquascape? Yes.

- I thoroughly enjoy creating nature designs. There's an aspect to that I find exceptionally fun - using unexpected materials in a unique way, in this case, firewood. It’s something I’ve been considering for a few weeks now, and had to make it happen. I knew I’d like this design, but I DID NOT expect to enjoy it this much. These logs truly made for a unique and incredible scape. Don’t you think?

I had a feeling this would look cool, but I DID NOT expect to like this as much as I do. If this was your tank, what would you stock it with? Let me know! Thanks for watching and as always, have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
Hi :)
What do you think about natural hardwood charcoal? I've got a big bag of it and the pieces come in lots of cool shapes. It doesn't have any added chemicals to help it burn quicker or anything. I think they might make a cool hardscape, and they could be glued together into larger pieces of hardscape. They do float for awhile though. What do you think? Anything toxic about it?
ETA: Some leaffish would look cool in there, though I don't know if the tank is large enough.
Long fin white cloud mountain minnows would look Awsome in here
I think is would stock it with lots of small minnows
A small school of ember tetras or chili rasboras for a nice pop of red/orange color would look nice with some shrimp or a couple of yellow mystery snails.
“He was able to build this in a cave! With a box of scraps!”
This comment deserves way more attention.
@@CGLFishing definitely!
Haha
Lmao that made me laugh way to hard.
“ but I am not SerpaDesign.”
A school of ember tetras could look really nice with the red wood, especially if you left the tank as a blackwater setup! I'm sure they'd appreciate the tannins.
I also think some orage sakura neocaridina shrimp would look great.
Maybe Apistogramma Agassizi
Same, but smaller knifefish species would look good in there, too.
@@malditocreeper92675those would be gorgeous here!
I’d do a solo honey gourami if the size is big enough. I can’t really tell how big it is
it kinda gives off a long flooded old growth forest vibe, that’s quite calming actually.
whats your favorite scaping material?
Tanner: yes
Seeing floating plants added is always a “hell yeah!” moment.
Guys see that and be like hell yeah
Really? I was begging please dont add floaters till I thought about the tannins. I loved the clean ethereal look it had!
@@jack-jackil2705 Floats are the GOATS. Easily.
The contrast of the white sand with the wood and black rocks looks so stunning!
The backlighting makes it really pop. I'm impressed with how natural the wood looks all pieced together like that.
Gorgeous design, I love how red the wood looks when its wet. The ferns looks perfect next to it!
Honestly the amount of unique and interesting designs you put out is nothing short of astounding.
The effort, production, lighting, sound, editing, camera setups for incredibly short clips, I mean…
S tier tuber fo sho
I don’t know why but when I saw the finished scape I immediately thought about adding threadfin rainbowfish. Great work as always!
Red shrimp and your favorite danios would be PERFECT!!! Amazing, Tanner, it’s so gorgeous
Pft. I’ve seen this man build terrariums in a pair of crocs, I had no doubt this was gonna be fantastic. ❤
Bamboo shrimp would look very interesting
Agreed! But they typically prefer higher flow environments since they are filter feeders so it wouldn't be the best option for this setup
@@Clover_knows_pets well, you could put submersible pumps and subjection cut them below the waterline about 4 inches and put them on one side of the tank with no tubing. It should increase the flow without being noticed, which would be good for the shrimp because of the higher flow rate. The only problem is the plants would have to be fully established to handle that kind of water flow.
I love how you come up with amazing design in low budget. You make it look so natural and look large in scale. I imagine some small slow moving fish in the aquascape.
neocardinia shrimp would be my go to. reds, yellows, or blues would really pop against the hardscape and the plants, and they'd love any and all biofilm that will grow on the wood.
I love the way it looks with the Backlight! It creates a nice seperation between the background and and the contours of the wood, making for a cool dramatic look.
Very typical, but I think some Thai Bettas would look amazing there, the aquarium screams for fish with flowy fins. Amazing upload as always.
Tanner, if I heard him right, is not a fan of fish bred for long flowing fins. But I agree with you and immediately thought Betta. I believe he's had one...with more natural fins.
What else likes quiet water? It doesn't look right to me for Angelfish. What about the German Blue Rams (Mikrogeophagus ramirezi)? I love 'em.
beautiful! I'd stock it with green neons :)
This would be such a nice piece to have near a fireplace in a cabin. The hardwood looks so nice!
Wow this looks AWESOME! I definitely like it better without the backlight.
The initial sculpture was incredible already, the tank is just another huge bonus 😍💕
No, all of your ideas should definitely be explored bc this one is exceptional!
A pretty sizeable school of nano fish would look really good. Maybe green rasboras
I think a school of leopard danios could look really cool in this setup.
Truly amazing work Tanner. Your way of thinking outside of the box always leaves me in awe.
I didn't expect it to look this great. Thanks for the inspiration!
African butterfly fish would be awesome
I have one of these….awesome fish!
Would love to see updates on this one! Probably the most intriguing build I’ve ever seen!
Tanner, you never cease to amaze me with new and interesting designs that answer the deeper questions of aquascaping. Another wonderful scape. Firewood of all things!
The result here was so surprisingly satisfying. I love it .
I love this, it looks beautiful. I think it is the contrast between the white sand and the dark wood with pops of green, it's cool to look at.
I really like how that all came together! Whoever ends up in living in here is going to love it.
Have you ever worked with mudskippers? A mudskipper habitat with land area for them to visit feels like it would be a ton of fun!
Honestly that looks way way better than I expected it to. Great job!
This might be my new favorite tank. The back light looked pretty cool
looks amazing, wasn't expecting this when you showed the firewood in the beginning, would have never thought of this.
Every time you add the floating plants, I wish I was a duck to eat them up because they look so cute. This would be cool as a blackwater setup, especially with the backlight!
In my mind...you've outdone yourself! I love it!
Your videos are so fun and peaceful to watch I really appreciate the hard work.
This looks gorgeous! It feels like a Metroidvania level where you can finally explore once you unlock swimming, probably with a cute little critter protagonist.
Your scapes are always so beautiful, Tanner! Thanks for another awesome video. 😊
Never thought of this as a way to do a convincing background but it looks so nice and natural, I might try this.
Love your random ideas! It's more interesting to watch, and more inspirational to us amateurs. ❤
I love every project you make, but wow, this one! This one has to be my favorite yet! ♥
Wow! Your creativity is inspiring- I love the firewood scape! 🌿
great video! love to see more of your amazing aquascapes!!!
Definitely came out awesome 👏🏻
This is awesome!! I love the vertical one dimensional look of the wood
This is amazing!! Love how you always take something ordinary and transform it into a complex and stunning piece. Beautiful work!
That hard scape looks amazing
Very cool! I love the negative space you left behind. Amazing work.
Happened to be in Denver last week and came across your triple terrarium in the butterfly exhibit, looked even better in person. Surprised more places aren't hiring you for public exhibits, it was the best one in the room for sure.
Absolutely love seeing your creations, fantastic work!
This tank looks amazing, and its honestly inspired me to do something similar with an unused 20 gallon tank I have, so thanks very much for this creative idea.
I honestly appreciate all that you do. Thanks so much for teaching me so much! It's insane how much your content means to me. I am in love with this hobby, and you always blow my mind with your builds. Thanks for being a good human. 😊
Stunning, I would put some beta’s in it, their flashy tails and jewel tones plus their preference for hiding areas I think would make them an excellent addition. Absolutely ethereal and majestic!
beautiful is an understatement
you've outdone yourself ! it looks amazing
That turned out fantastic!
You are so creative. You can make anything absolutely gorgeous. ❤️
Easily one of my new favorite setups! This is beautiful, and you remain proven to be my biggest inspiration.
That came out sooooo impressively
This looks great! It is almost like a cliffside design.
So natural very nice.
This is amazing! Great job!
so pretty!!
Your projects always look amazing!
Love this, it's simple and beautiful.
This is so beautiful. 😍
It's beautiful!
Absolutely love this!! Love this channel!
Fantastic job as always
I love your work. I am amazed how often you create something marvelous and new. I wouldnt have guessed Firewood could look so beautiful.
This is in my top 3 fave Tanner designs yet. I love the look without the backlighting- seems larger and more mystical. With a few tiny inhabitants or none at all, this is a blue ribbon winner in my book.
I love it with the backlight, I might have to play with this idea for one of my extra tanks
Absolutely brilliant!
This is awsome! 😍 I like the different reds of the wood and how great they look after cleaning them. It's indeed an artist work. 🙂
im in love with this design
The more I watch this, the more I love it!
I think shrimp x betta plakat would look amazing.
Beautiful! Thank you
Wow! This might actually be a favourite ever!
The way the end result looks a little bit like a ghost forest snag is really striking! Making notes for the scape I'm planning this summer...
I really like what you created with all those short thin pieces!
ooh, if it were my setup, I'd wanna put frogs and small golden colored fish in there.
I absolutely love how this came out. I actually really liked how the lava rock stones at the bottom looked with some of the sand on them. It looked snowy and i just feel like that look went with the tall vertical firewood aesthetic and the music haha
wait this is a perfect tank for triops cause the scape is so prehistoric looking
Absolutely beautiful
Turned out amazing!! What a cool desing, now I wanna make it tooo :)
This is beautiful! I think something like fire-eel would be fun to watch swim through the wood.
looks awesome!
I had never actually seen anything quite like this! It is incredible!
Firewood in the hands of a Master can make awesome scapes! ❤️
Holy cow Tanner! Your builds never cease to amaze me! That scape was gorgeous!
oh my, i was not expecting that. I have been really struggling to find good wood that i could use for my vivariums but cant find enough. i am definitely using firewood for my next project. thanks for the inspo.
Love your work. I just made my first terrarium the other day and I was watching your videos and saw you used the exact same jar I had. Thank you for your help in inspiring me to explore a new hobby
Very resourceful and informative
Tanner when are we going to get an updated video on that incredible aquascape pond in your backyard!?
ooh, I love that tank look! If I was stocking that tank, I would do it one of two ways, either community fish... like fancy tail guppies, tetras and maybe a betta... blues and purples to stand out against the woodgrains and the greenery.
Or, for a semi aggressive look, I would with silver dollars, honey gouramis, cherry barbs, possibly an African Leaf fish or two? Rainbow or red tail sharks would look great too!
Thank you Tanner for making my Saturday more relaxing.
Well, now I want to see an old pier piling inspired setup. Fresh or salt. I love when ferns start sitting on old structure out here in the Pacific Northwest.❤
