Thanks!!

Really informative and professional. Awesome tank. Really reminds me of some Northern Spring and Dusky habitat I’ve stumbled upon here in the northeast. Looking forward to next vid!

Thank you very much!!!

acctually looks awesome

Loved your shoutout to Tanner, he’s an amazing scaper and aquarist. Also, in my experience with vinyl tubing,......when it stays coiled, it has “memory”. Hot azz water or straight hot sunlight, will help it uncoil and lose memory. I have in the past, hung tubing between my storm door and main door,...it got cooked STRAIGHT to how I needed it. Just an FYI.

Great build!

if you want to be able to easily Bend and get the tubing to stay where it's at you can throw it in your dryer with some clothes for a bit and it'll become nice and soft

Old video, but you can use a heat gun to form the vinyl hose.

I have some firebelly efts that need growing up, but onces they are im gonna make a tank with a land area in it with i think filtermats.

Amazing build, but how did you control the temperature of the water cause I know it can’t be above 69 for the water

My tanks are in my basement, so temps are always cool

Wow! that took a ton of time. totally worth the effort. Thanks for sharing the build. What lighting are you using and where do you source your water wicking mesh?

Thanks! Just basic LEDs. Water wicking mesh was kind of like speaker fabric

Maybe put the tube in warm water helps too get it flexible

Such a beautiful job! I'm curious about the maintenance of the water portion. With your clean up crew, how often will you need to clean/replace the water? Whats your process there? Thanks for sharing!

@@slitheringsalamanderscapes6887 Thats great info, thanks! Im I've just finished setting up a bioactive arid viv and am planning my tropical one next. Im so torn about whether I want water or not. But seeing ones like yours that require minimal maintenance is really reassuring.

Just discovered your channel. Great content, great artistry. I had someone tell me a long time ago that it's difficult to silicone or bond acrylic with glass. How did this hold up over time?

Thanks! It’s been ok. This one had some leaks, but wasn’t because of the silicone adhering to glass / acrylic. My drip wall water found it’s way to my false bottom.

Where did you get this slate? Is it like a tile or some kind of paving block?

Natural slate tile. I think from maybe Home Depot. Broke it up and soaked it in water and rinsed many times prior to use

I saw in another video that you dont like drip walls now?

I like them, but the conditions need to be optimal to avoid cyanobacteria. I've noticed on smaller enclosures with drip walls I had higher incidents of cyanobacteria. The bigger the enclosure the less likely for whatever reason. Just a huge pain to try and get rid of it and / or rebuild.

For the water do you have to just put a filter in it?
