It felt great to finally start building in the new studio. I can’t begin to explain how much better the workflow was! It was great to work with moss again as well. I hope you all enjoy the video, and I can’t wait to share what’s next. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
I love how you basically built what could be a huge, inspiring landscape into a tiny space. I could just imagine being ant-sized and marvelling at this scape near some hidden jungle coastline.
I’ve been thinking a lot and, I’m realizing how much of a positive affect this channel has had on my life. The hobby of aquarium making I’ve gained has added something really nice to my life and I really appreciate everything the whole SerpaDesign channel and ideas have helped me personally.
it didn't occur to me that that little sand pit was actually going to serve such a smart purpose, literally thought you just wanted a zen sand garden to chill out with 😂 but using it to test out your scapes is so clever i love that. EDIT: wow i guess i wasn't the only one lmao
It's actually something fish stores now offer for their customers buying rocks and wood. Except breaking rocks into smaller pieces. I don't think they'd like that part. :D
i've been following your channel since middle school and now i am majoring in biology. i just want to say your passion in this craft is really admirable and i feel like you're a big part of why i chose my field as well lol. this year i am planning to build my first ever full sized vivarium, soooo excited!!!
Watching this while my pair of alpine newts are breeding👍👍🦎 You are the one that inspired me to make tiny terrariums and eventually make huge vivariums with different species and animals, thank you
really like this scape. Absolutely makes me think of those rocks that stick out of the ocean and have all the sides worn away so they get all these cool columns and pillars
What I like about you and your Chanel is that you actually care about the animals you keep. You don’t just keep them for the looks but to actually make them happy. Keep going Serpa
He’s done it again! My jaw literally dropped when it was finished, looks amazing! I just love how it looks like a giant mountain even though it’s so small. Great work tanner!
I always love your moss builds. I live in a very mossy area and I'm fascinated by it myself. One day, I make something like this, too. Thank you for inspiring me. Can't wait to see what you do for 2024. I love the room tours, upkeep vids, builds, thought process, well all of it. Much love to you from the mossy PNW.
Awesome Tanner, I used to build all types of these as a side business when I was younger. Custom made to each owner. I even drill large size of pumice stones for different effects. Lots of fun and great income.
This is a beautiful piece. I agree completely that often less is more and this piece hits a perfect balance. That small scoop of sand up in the rocks where the water pools is just magical.
*BRO* I just searched Google for African dwarf frogs and in the tags on the top for topic suggestions boom there's you smiling next to one of your tanks. *YOU* are on Googles suggestion for "aquariums" RIGHTFULLY SO! You have become one of the best at your craft and raised the bar for animal care and proper housing! I'm proud of you dude! You're an inspiration and you made a difference for so many pets! Congratulations!
Gorgeous as ever, and you always make it look effortless but so intricate. Every little area you look at has purpose & something going on. Such talent & skills that I can only dream of having 💚🐍💚
It looks stunning Tanner!! I especially love how you just outside and bring in some moss and use it to create something beautiful. I use to consider moss a nuisance as it grows between stones on my patio, but I’ve come to appreciate it more since watching your videos. It has a beauty I didn’t recognize before. As always, I thoroughly enjoy your art form.
Oh my gosh Tanner you are really gifted using those simple things and imagining it to be like that, it’s so calming and very pleasing to be a decoration in the house❤ it 👍🏻👏
Wonderful with mostly moss. Just enough water to make it ideal for many moss species, as they all seem to prefer slightly different levels of hydration. I see this in nature constantly, in the steep mountain streams of my homeland.
This is a beautiful build. I always loved your use of dragon stone and the moss on this makes it look bigger as if the jungle is covering the mountains.
I went to share this video and had to think of the best way to describe your channel. "The Bob Ross of Moss" is what my brain decided on. Beautiful art along with calm and relaxing atmosphere.
Your work is so professional looking, I wouldn't take it amiss to see in a fancy shop. (I don't follow the channel closely enough to know all the intimate detail so forgive me if this is already the case, please.) It's also so beautiful and visually interesting. I always come away from these videos feeling calm yet inspired. This build in particular reminded me of visiting california as a lad and I found this tiny cave with algae growing all around it. I was able to fit in it back then! Thanks again
these are the builds I love most because I have a tiny space and can actually make them! thanks for the inspo! Also, if you ever want to test how stones work together, blue-tac is a really great method. It's easy to remove and can be re-used.
This piece is so beautiful! Can we get more lowfi videos with your dynamic scapes and aquariums/ripariums? Those three you made on your second chanel have given much peace and space to study. Love the builds and inspiration you give us :).
I would love to see this done on a larger scale, like if the container you have the scape in could be like the size of a small coffee table and placed in the corner of the room or something. Just a cool giant rock and moss formation in the room!!
Beautiful design, Tanner. It looks like an ancient Japanese painting come to life, and that is a high compliment. Looks like you're off to a great start in 2024.
You are an on-going inspiration Tanner. My advice is continue falling down the miniature rabbit hole, but I'm biased...and a dream of mine is to work on a project with you some day ✌
It felt great to finally start building in the new studio. I can’t begin to explain how much better the workflow was! It was great to work with moss again as well. I hope you all enjoy the video, and I can’t wait to share what’s next. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!
How do you keep these from molding? I tried one of these but it died within a couple weeks due to mold.
I love it, Tanner! You make it look so easy, but it's not. It's your skill showing!
Lovely and inspiring. Thank you
I’m glad the work space is working as designed! Have a great weekend too!
HAPPY NEW YEAR TANNER and Mrs. Serpa as well. I Wish you both an incredible year.
Matt - Toronto, Canada
does anyone else think the final creation looks like a mossy stone golem?? it’s an amazing build ◡̈
I see it!! I’d certainly would love a design based on this piece!!
Had the same thought at 06:05 ^^
Looks like a stone troll. I like it.
I love how you basically built what could be a huge, inspiring landscape into a tiny space. I could just imagine being ant-sized and marvelling at this scape near some hidden jungle coastline.

😂😂😂
Same it's actually a neat idea
It's actually something fish stores now offer for their customers buying rocks and wood. Except breaking rocks into smaller pieces. I don't think they'd like that part. :D
This video just makes me feel calm and happy
Love the little pool on top.
That really turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing!❤😊
Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks to your inspiration over the years, I finally built my first terrarium this week. It's not much but I'm happy with it.
Absolutely incredible, love it! With everything going on you could add some shrimp down at the bottom.

This build evokes castle in the sky, I love it
really like this scape. Absolutely makes me think of those rocks that stick out of the ocean and have all the sides worn away so they get all these cool columns and pillars
the rocks on the sides really did pull it all together! I'm blown away by the final result.
This is so gorgeous. Mist would look amazing in this!
man the new studio is so aesthetically pleasing, i love the sand bar
I dig this. Seems like something you'd have on your desk or maybe an end table in its own corner.
I love simple builds like this. I thought that the low flow on this build really tied everything together!
Beautiful moss grotto. It brings in a sense of calm and serenity. Very nice. Gina
I think this is my favorite nano build yet!!! So happy you worked with moss again :D
What I like about you and your Chanel is that you actually care about the animals you keep. You don’t just keep them for the looks but to actually make them happy. Keep going Serpa
The creeping fig along the top does a great job of tying all the different mosses together.
I’ve had a terrible week so far, this made it a lot better
Happy new year to you and those you love ❤❤❤
Wow! I felt like I was on the coast of a faraway land. Just gorgeous! ❤
That might be one of my favorite terrariums you have made!
Please do a crayfish aquarium!
Tanner, your creativity is phenomenal. This piece is so beautiful and relaxing to look at. All your work is truly stunning.
Very very nice video. The best part was how everything built up to a great reveal at the end.
The top of water is so pretty it feels like it would be refreshing to have a swim in it and the whole scape looks so ethereal
He’s done it again! My jaw literally dropped when it was finished, looks amazing! I just love how it looks like a giant mountain even though it’s so small. Great work tanner!
A bonsai tree next to it wouldn't be out of place.
I love this terrarium. So simple and beautiful.
I need one of Tanner's builds in my life.
My grandsons and I adamantly agree that this was a perfect build to ring in the new year! Thank you very much!!🤗🤗🤗
I always love your moss builds. I live in a very mossy area and I'm fascinated by it myself. One day, I make something like this, too. Thank you for inspiring me.

Tanner you have made me fall in love with Miss. when I am hiking I am now noticing all the moss throughout the trail 🥹
Absolutely stunning work as always 🤩
You gave me so many ideas for my own builds through your videos! Keep up the good work!
This is a beautiful piece. I agree completely that often less is more and this piece hits a perfect balance. That small scoop of sand up in the rocks where the water pools is just magical.
Tanner, you can be proud of yourself for inspiring so many people to try for themselves.
Stunning, just stunning! About to embark on my very first terrarium - thank you :)
What a strong start to the year! Can't wait for more~

Absolutely stunning.. Tranquility in a tray. Love your work Tanner. ♥️🤌🏼
Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful and so calming! Thank you!🎉
Simplicity simply genius!
Love it!
Gorgeous as ever, and you always make it look effortless but so intricate. Every little area you look at has purpose & something going on. Such talent & skills that I can only dream of having 💚🐍💚
The small-scale moss builds are possibly my favorite videos on your channel. 💚 I am determined to build one someday.
what a wonderful way to start the new year. Thank-you so much Tanner.
Wishing you and your wife the best for 2024🎉
There you go, making something beautiful again ❤ and making it look so easy!
Another fantastic build! I absolutely love how you kept it simple for this project without the addition of wood; it is perfect.
This is a real work of art.
I always love your artwork. Wish you lots of blessings in new years.
that's a piece of art right there 💚
Beautiful. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.
I just love everything thing you do it always turns out so beautiful. Thanks again for your vision.❤

i love your creations and calming demeanor.
now if only my moss wouldn't keep dying....
One word...Perfection!!!
Wonderful with mostly moss. Just enough water to make it ideal for many moss species, as they all seem to prefer slightly different levels of hydration. I see this in nature constantly, in the steep mountain streams of my homeland.
This is a fantastic MossyDesign to start the year.
Amazing as always! It’s so relaxing to watch these builds.

Such a beautiful and relaxing piece of living art 😊
Your work is so professional looking, I wouldn't take it amiss to see in a fancy shop. (I don't follow the channel closely enough to know all the intimate detail so forgive me if this is already the case, please.)

Absolutely stunning!!!
It's beautiful. Peaceful.
Love moss builds!
Excellent Tanner! Thank you for the inspiration.
Stunning, always look forward to your video drops.
I don't comment often but I will always recognize and appreciate the love and care you put into your work for us.
This is stunning! Great start to the year!
Beautiful Tanner, just beautiful! 🌲💚🙃

Love it. So soothing to watch.
Nice start to the new year! Thanks for sharing!
This is my favorite project of all time. 💪💪💪
I absolutely love this design 😊
I am absolutely blown away, the craftsmanship and creativity is breathtaking on this one!
Wow, absolutely stunning 😊😊😊
Your build is so serene and peaceful ❤
You are an artist. That is so beautiful. I wish I had the patience and knowledge to make something half as nice as this.
I love this! Very detailed and minimal at the same time ✌️
This piece is so beautiful! Can we get more lowfi videos with your dynamic scapes and aquariums/ripariums? Those three you made on your second chanel have given much peace and space to study. Love the builds and inspiration you give us :).
Ive really missed the Peace you bring to my life with your miniature worlds.
That was basically a loveletter/video to moss ... 👍
Your art is just incredible 🤩
I would love to see this done on a larger scale, like if the container you have the scape in could be like the size of a small coffee table and placed in the corner of the room or something. Just a cool giant rock and moss formation in the room!!
it looks so beautiful! i absolutely love builds with sand in them, i find them so calming
Another stunning build!
Beautiful design, Tanner. It looks like an ancient Japanese painting come to life, and that is a high compliment. Looks like you're off to a great start in 2024.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Just like the sky mountain biome in Avatar too!
FRICKIN' STUNNING!!! 😍😍😍
That is beautiful, I really appreciate you creativity and talent, thanks for sharing that project!
I loved this build. Happy 2024, Tanner!
You are an on-going inspiration Tanner. My advice is continue falling down the miniature rabbit hole, but I'm biased...and a dream of mine is to work on a project with you some day ✌
The Salamanders would love to have a grotto in their build!!
