@@SerpaDesign Awesome! I think your skills are amazing! And not only with sculpting but with woodwork too! Just like with the ghost shrimp ship (rip), the cabin and the bamboo fountain. But honestly I think this one was my favourite as I really like this type of tribal culture and I think it fits very nicely with nature.

Since it’s a mold, doesn’t that mean hypothetically you could make more heads and hands, and therefore hypothetically sell them? Because I’d buy, no questions asked! This is one of your coolest creations yet!

LOL! I kept thinking about Olmec when I was making this as well.

I know your style usually focuses on organic and natural elements, so you don't include many sculptures or manmade elements like this one. So I'm really pleased to see how this one turned out! Your builds inspire me a lot as an artist myself, and I always think "...and then I'd put a small sculpture in there for my own version." I think it's wonderful to try new things and be inspired to put our own spin on something. :)

you never fail to wow me Tanner, incredible!

Absolutely love the idea of the destroyed ruins! I've wanted to try and make a ruined wall or some pillars for a jungle species of lizard or snake

Wish I have this on my desk. It must be very relax just to stare at it :)

I kinda get a Legends of the Hidden Temple vibe. LOVE IT!

This is amazing Tanner. The intricacy of details of how it's made and the results of a realistic ancient ruin/jungle is just awesome. Keep it up. We're here to support you coz it's just worth it.🌱

you should make a giant african land snail enclosure! that would be super cool! great job on the tank!

think the music you added was perfect to show off your amazing scape

Idk about that, I just do my thing 😅

Nature overrunning human creations is one of my favorite themes. My first real tank was modeled after a ruined canal. I was in philly at the time, and the area around my dorm was full of discarded rough-hewed stone bricks of what I believe to be white granite or something similar. I had a 5 gallon with cut off front corners, and the bricks fit perfectly in the back corners, so I stacked up 2 for each side, sloped up the substrate hard for extra depth, and but some branches leaning down between them to simulate large roots in the distance. The top bricks on each side just barely sutck out of the water, and the stone texture whicked water up to the top, so I placed pads of moss on each, and used that as a planting substrate for a variety of plants. It turned in to a pretty nice paludarium, especially with emergent plants and floaters adding to the surface. I even changed the substrate composition in the area that was supposed to be the canal, by giving it a cap of pea pebbles on top of the black river sand. the effect was really convincing, and I understocked it with amphipods and aquatic isopods, no overbred decorative fish or shrimp. it was a REALLY nice tank. Unfortunately, I got flat worms as hitchikers on a watercress plant, and after a year, they destroyed every form of life other than themselves and diatom slime.

This is for real one of the best video and tank I have ever seen

You are an actual artist. You somehow turn tank building into art. I would love to see what the "abstract art" form of tanks would look like lol. Do you ever plan on doing a leopard gecko tank?

Wow that head worked out way better than I expected. Great work.

Amazing, those fish are lucky to have such a cool tank

This is crazy beautiful Tanner! Great job 👏

What an amazing build this is! As you said, a lot of work, but so very worth it! It looks exactly what you said you wanted it to be. I loved watching the whole process, as it makes one appreciate it just that much more. As always, I love all your builds, but this one is very pleasing to my eye. Thank you so much for sharing what you do. Have an awesome day!

A frog would look awesome in those hands!

Looks awesome. The face looks amazing with the plants surrounding it

Time well spent Tanner! This is by far one of my favorites of your builds! Really beautiful work!

This is my absolute favorite of all your builds. Beautiful design and execution! I love how the fish add a little pop of rainbow as they swim around.

I’m so obsessed with this channel and jealous of all his aquariums 😩

Absolutely love this. Looks amazing.

Definitely one of my favorite builds you've made.

This is amazing! Definitely my favourite project you’ve made so far. Brilliant!

I bet every one of your animals feel so at home ❤️

This may be my favourite design of yours ever! Now I want one!

Looks great! I recently got into gardening and I love the combination of techniques you have in this video. Building a water feature outside this summer and will be drawing inspiration from you!

Wow - that really looks so much like stone! So well done, as always!

Wow Tanner....this is one of my favorites of all your creations.

By far my favorite one of your videos and the one that inspired me most to convert an old desktop fountain into a sunken planter for aquatic plants

That’s super awesome! Definitely would love to see you create more projects with the ancient ruins vibe!

My inner child comes out watching these videos, that I just discovered yesterday. I love the larger back-story that you create for each of your environments. It helps to define every small detail you're creating, so you can step into each of these worlds. Great job!

Holy crap dude all I wanted to see was a paludarium incorporating orchids but silicone molds!? That is something else!

Probably one of the nicest bits you've done on your channel so far

Love the ruined vibe, wish you did more amazing works like this!

one of my favourites! I wish to have one of your pieces on display in my home. Pure talent and incredible skill. Love your art!

Very nice. You deserve to be proud - lovely ancient Zen.

Ваше мастерство растёт. Скульптура - это уже совсем другой уровень. Отличное направление.

I don't know how I came across these types of videos but I'm so glad that I did. I've always loved tanks and eco systems it's just so impressive how nature can thrive wherever however and seeing people like you build these amazingly detailed tanks is so damn impressive definitely subscribing. Plus the tone of your voice is very calm and relaxing ive been binge watching your videos like crazy just cuz you can watch them while doing pretty much whatever

Can you try and do an ancient city scape design as well?

With every single upload, I am so impressed and inspired by your work. I love how much character and story this setup has, even with a simple stock!

This design turned out so awesome

I can wait to see this aquarium after 1 year. It will look amaizing.

First the Crystal Caves Paludarium, then the Shishi-Odoshi Fountain, and now this?! This video is a tribute to Tanner's vast repoitoire of skills he's accumulated over the years - a composite sythesis showcasing just how far he's come in his artistic talents. In my eyes, the distressed appearance of the ruins coupled with the fresh, vibrant pop of the plants makes this build a masterpiece; you've been killing it despite your finger Tanner! Keep up the good work! ✌

i love how u customized so many parts so that you could get as close to your vision as possible it turned out as one of my favorites of all the builds you’ve done i’m so excited for the update on it alr cause i think it’ll look so much better once the plants have taken it over a bit more

NOBODY can match the skills and talent that you have, Tanner. Great work!

Daaamn taking paludariums to a whole new level!

This is my favorite build in a long time. I love the aesthetic of an old ruined statue and nature reclaiming it, even more so because there are some examples of this around the world and they’re all so old the stories behind them are lost to time. Super cool idea, and I’d love to see an even larger example at some point. Great job.

This is absolute amazing. It shows just how skilled you are and I like that you use common items us serpa squad can find. Great job tanner, keep doing what you do.

When you build something like this, don’t you want to swim in it and enjoy the sounds😊

That’s a great tank, a real tropical stone design, good job 👍

This is phenomenal and it's awesome to see you always trying to push your abilities and make things with new materials. You're constantly growing as a scape artust

Absolutely wonderful--a beautiful, natural art piece. All the hard work you did literally brought your vision to life!

You have surpassed greatness with this one.

Wow. That face came out fantastic. You are really hitting a stride, with some of these. Your work was already great, but this is really taking it over the edge.

Immediately thought of legends of the hidden temple lol, love this! It looks amazing.

I love it!! Again I have this Easter statue covered with xmas moss to create water fall for my mini pond !

what a gorgeous piece of art! the concept is so cool and the skill to make it is insane. its so peaceful and mysterious. a disney's atlantis themed scape would be so cool, with shrimp maybe since they fished those crustaceans in the movie

No words, you can still set the bar higher and higher. The plants, the colours and everything else as well indeed very intimate and hard to look away. Great fan of your work.

Tanner, this and your crystal cave are the best yet. You are the new Walt Disney. ❤️❤️❤️

What a massively talented person you are

The amount of work you did for the statue was soo much but turned out awesome i wish i could create something like this

You should release a hour long video of just the front of the statue with the sound of the water so we can sit and watch the fish and relax :)

Nothing short of AMAZING.
