2 Tier Moss Tree Terrarium and Pond
Most of my builds start with a single piece that inspires me to make something completely unique. After all, every build is unique in one way or another and that's usually why. This one was no exception. It stands apart from other projects for a number of reasons. However, I think the main reason this one shines is simply because of the idea. Everything else is a bonus.
I'm very intrigued by the concept of having one piece go through multiple landscapes. It's one that I'll likely play with in the future. In the meantime though, let's enjoy this one. I'm curious to know what you think. Was this a cool idea and do you like the terrarium? Let me know down in the comments!

I really enjoyed this one but it was really challenging. Let me know what you think about the final product down in the video description! Also not sure if you noticed, but I did a lot of new things and used equipment to make this video. Did you catch it? Much more to come in the remainder of 2020.

SerpaDesign I have a suggestion, you should do some more alien and otherworldly builds using some unusual hardscape elements like Crystals, fossils and shells. I personally have tried this with my own terrariums and they bring a lot of spice to making them and are a real challenge to make it look natural.

That dremel looks sick! Much better with the water at the top a pond to let the light flow through and strengthen the illusion. I don't know how you keep your moss green? I dumped a patch from my set up into my new backyard to bring it back. Most moss in my set up turns brown , but it smells as it should. The plants are thriving at least. Great work as always!

Displaying on the turntable is very effective - it that one of your new techniques? Your builds surpass mere technical excellence. You are a true artist! This piece beautifully demonstrates your mastery of aesthetic and narrative components, and highlights your affinity with nature.
i really appreciate, that you kept the design "failiures" in the vid. To struggle with a certain theme/design and having to start all over again is a very important aspect of this kind of art and is very often left out!! Good job!
The top part looks like a swamp and yet it blends so well with the hikers track bottom part, it really looks quite surreal, what wonderful little worlds you build!
Tanner: "I'm planting it simple." Uses FIVE minds of moss. Me: I think we disagree on the definition of 'simple'.

well it is kinda simple compared to lots of other builds he does. but i guess it's his artistic nature that makes him fool around with little details everywhere and everytime forever. as a musician i certainly understand him. simple is never as satisfying as complex and at times you spend hours just to practice a little section to get the sound just right. for him it's playing around with placements of some stones or sticks forever until he likes how it looks. i guess this obsession with little details seperates people that create something outstanding from those that create something mediocre at best. there is no good enoughs! you do your best or you don't do it at all :D

One of my favorite things about your videos is that I never catch on to your vision until the very end, when it's an idea one moment and a flawless snapshot of nature the next. I like to try and follow artists' creative processes to compare them to my own, but I haven't figured you out yet! The way you visualize your art is extremely patient and meticulous, and I never get tired of watching your process. I'm very glad the world has your art in it 😊
I love that you show the ideas that you ultimately decide against.
I love how your builds tell a story. Amazing job Tanner
First build of the decade! I made my 3rd bioactive enclosure yesterday and I’m really happy with it! Your videos helped a lot!

Holy crap that looks great! I love how you added a bit of water to the top to give the illusion all of the rest was underwater. Exited for 2020!
OMG, don't ever let anyone tell you are talented. The attention to detail on that path was just amazing.
You would think the top being water based would make it less cohesive, yet somehow you manage to make it flow. I really don't think there are many KZreadrs who could pull this off. You have such a gift!
I feel like I could wander up that pathway and eventually come to the refreshing pond at the top and have a swim💕 Very beautiful Terrarium.
I really appreciate that you show your creative process that involved un-doing what took quite a bit of time and effort. My initial reaction was why is he re-doing it, it looks ok. Then when you started creating the detailed little path I understood and had a huge smile on my face for the rest of the video. The first iteration design was ok, but the final design is Absolutely Magical!!! Well worth the re-do. I especially love the little roots in the pond. I would call this The Floating Pond Path

I love that the bottom tier has a back story!!
Gorgeous. I really like the concept of having two tiers in a terrarium
I want to try this one, but I want to do it in reverse. This gave me a great idea for a mangrove setup with the water at the bottom and tree going all the way to the top.

The Science Lair yes but i think they are saying they would use driftwood(or another type of branch/vine) to give the effect of a mangrove tree if i am not mistaken
I'ld be interested to see what this setup looks like in a few months
I think the bottom one was one of the most beautiful you have created. The top was interesting as well, and I would love to see you continue to make miniature trees in the future. Huge fan of floating plants. Keep up the good work, your art is incredible
This is my favorite moss terrarium build yet!! Brilliant design I love your creativity and watching your process. Thank you for sharing your art with us friend!!!!!
Not sure I would have thought of the tree through the glass idea. I like that you showed the build nearly to finish then start from scratch again. The end result was worth it.
As I said before, you are an artist. Great job.
that looks beautiful! I'd absolutely love to see a bigger version of this! The water above the trails really lets the creativity flow about what kind of world this could be! I really have a soft spot for any builds that include a trail or little path - so simple, yet so effective!
I think this is one of my favourite terrariums ever
I absolutely love the end result! Thank you for sharing your thought processes; it helps knowing you too can struggle with concept and execution!
I love the detail that you put in this build like the stick they dragged out of the way

the water with the duckweed looks like leaves blowing in the wind :) you do such a great job of capturing nature's beauty
Your creative thinking with the terrariums are amazing! The fact that you took it apart more than once says your mind is always thinking! Great job!
Hiking beneath a pond. I love it.
I love the the way you view nature. I’m sure that’s how you are able to create these unique terrariums
So awesome! The roots of duckweed are rarely seen in builds and here they look like rain.
Amazing! I love seeing the roots of the water plants hanging down.
I would love to see a larger scale of this idea with live stock. Maybe the water part a full aquarium that has a waterfall into the bottom part? Love your work!
Easily one of my favorite terrarium builds. I love art that tells a story.
I love these containers! They have a lot of potential for some very interesting designs.
Absolutely stunning- I never would’ve thought of something like this. Btw Cory from aquarium co-op mentioned you in his stream on Thursday it was pretty cool.
Tanner is an artist!!! Beautiful Terrarium!!!!!
I've recently started building custom enclosures for my pets and, thanks to your videos, I'm really happy with them and so are my ants and reptiles!
Just sold my first terrarium today! Thank you for the all the inspiration and for share your knowledge with us!
So, ive been watching your videos and really enjoy the idea of having some nature in a bottle in my home. So I made one, kind of out of whatever I had lying around. I doubt it will work out since it wasn't exactly thought out. But it was fun. Laid down some rocks, put some screen mesh over top, grabbed some soil from outside, then grabbed a few little plants from outside that were growing in old pots, nothing that was originally planted, just some random ones that ended up in there. Along with a piece of moss from another pot. It probably won't last, but Its so nice to have. I want to give it a real go soon and see if I can make something that will be more self sustaining.
Vibe is a bit floating island avatar style, very interesting!
Awesome. I particularly like the bottom half. The way u thought it out, the details..right down to the little branches along the path and the footprints. Fabulous!! 👍😃✌🌿
Very pretty :) But gotta admit I liked the tiny ficus leaves as a canopy for the top part of the tree much better :)
What a creative idea, if it was me with those containers i would be stumped
That looks amazing, not for me though I wouldn't have your patience big like 56 from my little Channel 👍👍
Man, i love how you are able to just make any glass structure you find into an amazing terrarium. Keep up the great work! (Also, i was wondering if you could maybe give a try at a fire bellied newt paludarium as they are super interesting and i would like to see your take on something like this?
You are the Master of creating these things. Master.
Wow this looks great. Actually reminds me of this dream I had where there was about a ten to fifteen foot layer of water hanging over a forest above the treetops. I was swimming in it and there were a bunch of sharks in there with me but it was cool because we were bros :)
Well this is magic in a jar. Love the idea!
Love the attention to details you do on this build.
This has to be my favorite build of yours so far. Such a creative and interesting idea. Its truly a little masterpeice.
BEST build I have seen you do so far. OMG how cool
This is a really cool effect, kind of dream-like
That is the most unique thing I have seen on KZread, by far. It turned out beautiful and I'm looking forward to it's update.
Wow Tanner, you really outdid yourself with this one!
Love this one the most
Its pretty cool you are starting to do kind of fanasty things. Miniature builds and stuff. Much different from what you normally do, I like it.
Love the design and love the story that made it.
Magical and lovely. Awesome build, I would love to see update videos of your builds!!
I LOVE this build!!! So freaking cool and stunningly beautiful
Love this build! Would love to see something similar on a bit larger scale!
your creations are always unique and fantastic .. thanks for sharing them with us !!
This build is so creative and pretty technical! Awesome to see it come together 🌱😊
Nothing beat fireworks to start 2020! Just keeps gettin’ better! Splendid work, Tanner!🙌🏼
Lol totally simple! I seriously dont understand how you come up with these amazing things! This is amazing!!
I really love this one! You inspire me.
So wholesome. Thanks for all the quality content!
I love Watching your vids when I want to sit back and just chill and enjoy
What a awesome terrarium !!!!
Wow! What a high standard to start 2020! This build is us absolutely gorgeous. Loved the little details of footsteps in the path. :)
Dang, beautiful! BEAUTUFUL!!!!
You always have such amazing vision. I love this as I do all your works!
Love it! My list of containers to be on the lookout for keeps growing. lol
Very nice work, it looks like a miniature forest trail.
This is gorgeous! You are so inspiring
Another interesting build Tanner, looking forward to seeing all the updates to come. Keep up the great content.
Thx 4 sharing!
this is so awesome!! i really like how you kept all the times you dismantled/reassembled/troubleshooted the build in the video. it really shows how this is an artistic process that takes time, and how thoughtful you are with your builds! this was a super creative idea, love it!!
This is so cool! I like having the pond on top; it kind of makes me do a double-take.
Wow gorgeous!!!!
It was a very interesting build! I like the small nature path on the first level! It was very well done. I am not sure how much I like the top layer but it will be interesting to see it a few months from now.
This is so fun to watch and my green thumbs start itching as soon as I started watching. lol
What a way to start the decade, another fantastically unique build that turned out awesome!I'd bet this channel will hit 1m subscribers this year. It just keeps getting bigger and better, can't wait to see what's to come.
Your final concept is amazing! 🥰 I love that you showed the whole process of the build. The final set up does look great!!!
Your production quality is so much higher now. Its awesome to watch you always improve!!
Very interesting... You inspired me to get moss from the garden so I can find some containers lol
Jaw dropping wonderful!
Woo! Flipping awesome!!
This evening is the first time seeing your videos. I love your ideas, can't stop watching them. This is the 7th video I've watched. Very interesting and creative👍 Keep up the good work.
So creative and inspiring
Such a cool design! Awesome job
Very interesting video loved how the trees looked with the ivy on them first try. That would be interesting to see on a single tree build, to see how it would grow on the tree over time. Love the final look, can't wait to see a update in a few months. Love the amount of dedication you have to keep all your projects growing for months after. Keep them coming :-)
Very creative idea for creating the tree look! I have a three tier glass container just like this one. I just love your videos! Definitely the best in youtube! I’ve learned so much!
This was so amazing to watch! I really like the illusion and you did great with the step up!
When you first disassembled it I was like what! It looked so good to me and then I watched what you did with it and I’m like okay okay I see why now lol you knew the potential
Frustrating watching the undo to redo, but turned out great. No doubt a learning process. You're the master.
I think it would have been cool to have a desert and a jungle in the two parts as well! Nice work as always. I finally made a viv thanks to you and some other great youtubers!!l
