Initially I didn't want to because these are ugly decorations but the more I thought about it the more I saw the potential. Even though they're unnatural they're very functional for fish and when combined with select elements might actually look pretty cool. So I curated the"

A few months back I had to get glass for an aquarium when she said "Can you make a display case vivarium like the one from before I want something cool for the living room." Ive been sitting on this Milsbo Case ever since and havent had the time to make it until now. It turned out really well and is probably one of my favorites yet because of how simple it was to produce. I cant wait to see how this jungle establishes and takes on a life"

However you DO NOT have to use this method. I understand that a lot of you don't have access to the materials that I use or"

"The American Bullfrog Paludarium The American Bullfrog Paludarium is finally complete I've been talking about this setup for awhile now and it took a few months to complete but the wait was totally worth it. It could have been completed much sooner but it took me a while to get all of the perfect materials. It was worth the wait though Spending a little extra time to do things right the first time is always worth it. Like I said in the video my goal was to loosely mimic the look of a pond's shore and I think I did that well. Obviously there's no soil but the idea is for MJ to constantly look"

"Make a Cactus Terrarium - How To Terrarium ep. [--] This is the Fourth episode of "How to Terrarium." In this episode you will learn EVERYTHING you need to know in order to make an effective and natural-looking Cactus Terrarium. Cacti aren't typically plants that would be housed in a terrarium. Therefore if there were a cactus terrarium this is it As mentioned in the video although you may see cactus terrariums online that look cool they might not be tailored to the cactus plant (as they should be). In this series we are trying to make effective terrariums that not only look good but are"

"Building The Pixie Frog (African Bullfrog) Paludarium The African Bullfrog paludarium is finally here I know this one's been ongoing for awhile but I had my reasons. Samson was fine in his previous setup so there was no rush to complete this and it kept getting put aside for more time sensitive builds. That said I'm very pleased to finally have it done and I think Samson is as well My goal with this one was not necessarily to mimic the ABF's natural habitat per-say but to create something that takes the essence of it and showcases the animal. I really like how all of my paludariums turned out"

"Rubber Ducky Isopods Kept Multiplying so I Made This Five months ago I made a dripping cave vivarium for my Rubber Ducky Isopods in an effort to move them out of bins.

"Easy to Make Two Running Waterfalls Terrarium I've made several waterfall terrariums over the years but none have been easy to make. I set out to make a more accessible version of this style of build using fewer materials and simple techniques. I still wouldn't consider this to be a beginner build but I think it could be easily replicated with a little practice and finesse. I'm really pleased with how it turned out though and I hope you all enjoy the video/project.

"I Need Your Help (Searching For My Dream Lizards) This past week I took my first vacation since [----] and stopped working for the first time since [----]. sort of. Naturally I filmed a greater portion of my trip which largely consisted of seeing friends and exploring. So technically I did work but it's not quite the same as the norm. Anyway it was nice to get a recharge. Not that I wasn't motivated before but now I'm even more so now and thought of a ton of awesome project during my time away. Also as I said in the video I'm currently looking for a captive-bred pair of Red Head Agama lizards."

"My Giant Bullfrog Needed a New Home - Samson's Story It's so crazy to me that I've already had Samson for almost six years Time really does fly. I love this frog but recently there was an issue with his paludarium. At some point during the move the seal on his tank broke and it began leaking. I never determined precisely what happened but I had no choice other than to completely redo his setup. As I explain in the video I would've had to fix it at some point anyway. I just had to do it much sooner than anticipated. Anyway over the years I've had a lot of time to observe Samson and determine"

"Bioactive Orchid Forest biOrb AIR For this one I teamed up with Oase to make my very first biOrb AIR I knew I had to pull out all the stops for this one. A lot of you actually were requesting that I set one of these up as well so it was a win win. I don't think I've seen another bioactive biOrb either. It had to be done. I also incorporated a lot of rare and oddball plants that I've had on deck for a while. I'll let the video do the rest of the talking from here. Like I said in the video I haven't had a chance to use it for very long so I can't give a full assessment at this time. I'll follow"

"Moss Ball Tree Ecosphere Yes I finally made an ecosphere You've been asking me to make one for years now but I never got around to it. I've had these moss balls (s/b called algae balls) for awhile now and I knew I wanted to make something like this with the but I was holding off. There have been a lot of ecosphere comments lately so I knew I had to do something. Like I said in the video this might not be what some of you had in mind but we'll make a more traditional ecosphere at some point in the future. Anyways there's not much else to say. I'll let the video do the talking from here on out."

"I Tried to Grow Lily Pads An Ecosystem Emerged Instead (200 Day Experiment) Whenever I went to a pet store to get food for my animals I kept seeing these dried lily bulbs. I assumed they could be legit but I was skeptical if theyd grow into water lilies. Thats when I created this experiment and built an entire aquarium around them. I wanted to see if theyd work. As the tank developed I realized it could also be a nice home for many of the animals I had from other setups like the Glowlight Danios and Yellow Shrimp. It was fantastic to observe it unfold and Im excited to see how it continues to"

"Running Waterfalls in a Jar (Moss Terrarium) I wanted to put waterfalls in a terrarium for a while now but I wasn't able to make it happen in previous renditions. I also had other things to work on. Nothing beats a standard jungle-style terrarium but I think this is a really cool concept that's awesome to watch. That said you really need to see it in person to appreciate the view. The waterfalls are fairly substantial but the video can only translate it so well.

"Can I Set Up a Vivarium for $75 Welcome back to yet another vivarium build. This one focuses mainly on techniques that could help you reduce the overall cost of you project. That said I feel like using the term budget vivarium is somewhat subjective. As I eluded to in the video I could and do make vivariums MUCH cheaper than this on a regular basis because I buy things in bulk. However I know the average hobbyist doesn't make as many setups as myself and buying things in bulk is more expensive upfront. Regardless making a successful vivarium doesn't require a ton of money.

"Easy DIY Flowing Waterfalls Table Top Moss Grotto As you know I thoroughly enjoy working with moss and making small detailed projects. I figured starting off [----] with a fun project like this was the way to go. It combines common elements like Dragon Stone and Moss to create something unique and special. In fact its probably one of my favorite small moss projects that Ive done in a long time. I also think it will be a great piece to have in the background of build videos on the studio's counter.

"Make a Lamp Terrarium (Lamparium) Let's make a Lamp Terrarium or a Lamparium Most terrariums are simply nice to look at but this one is also quite functional. So if you thought that it was a waste of resources/time to make a terrarium then maybe this is the one for you. Chances are that you need a lamp so why not make it a Lamp Terrarium These are really quite simple to make and not much different than a standard terrarium other than a few components. You could easily combine these techniques with a lot of the terrarium builds I've shown on the channel. Just in case you are new to the channel"
