Wow i honestly didn't expect this video to do so well as it was my first video ever made. For those asking for an update, i am almost ready to post a follow up! Thanks again for watching!! It's my understanding that if a video gets 2000 likes, YT will begin suggesting it to a larger audience. Not sure if this is true or not but considering im almost at 1000 likes already, i would love to put that rumor to the test with this video, so if you wouldn't mind giving the video a like i would really appreciate it! Thanks again!

I’ve been thinking of the SAME PROJECT for years and I can’t even describe how much my jaw has dropped watching this

having a little experience with photographing bioluminescence organisms. I know for a fact that this looks WAYY cooler in person. You still did a fantastic job capturing the glowing effects without editing. Good video dude this is so cool.

So excited to see how this turns out! Please look into succulents. I had an aloe vera that would emit a dark red / purple under UV. This might help build your terranium since theyre low maintenance

Most plants usually glow around reddish or purplish under UV because of chlorophyll. I would say that’s not a bad idea but I don’t think aloe Vera would be the plant to use, it doesn’t really match the alien pandora vibes

I hope we get the finished vivarium soon. The idea is amazing and I really can’t wait!

soon!! im still working on testing suitable plants.. its really difficult to find them but im making progress!

Passion Flower, Chinese Ground Orchid (but orchids can be tricky), Pink Lady’s Slipper, California Poppy, Lacy Phacelia, Bee balm flower all glow under UV light. Tonic water and vitamin B also glow. I know sometimes flowers absorb colors if you put the dye in their water, I wonder if they absorb fluorescent color too.

This is so creative and exciting! Looking forward to seeing the final product.

GloFish and glowing mushrooms all possess the quality of bioluminescence.

Glowfish are not bioluminescent. They're just fluorescent from jellyfish genes. Jellyfish genes = fluorescence, firefly genes = bio-luminescence.

I can’t wait for the update!!! This is such a cool idea!

You've made me start thinking in a whole new "light".

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I've seen glowing lichen on trees and the forest floor at night before at a friend's house when I was younger. No black light/UV needed! Not sure what kind it was, I was a teen and I'm 39 now. But just wanted to mention that some mosses and plants from the state like Washington and New York etc need to go through a dormancy period and get cold etc so may not be suitable for a vivarium. But this is a cool idea! There are bioluminescent mushroom kits you can purchase also to seed the vivarium but be careful with the mushroom pins and springtails and other vivarium cleanup crew as they like to eat fungus!

Came across this video while looking for vids on bias lighting. Great video, and lots of great information. I've built several vivarium myself, the idea of one naturally fluorescing is intriguing. As mentioned, the mineral Fluorite fluoresces (impurities in it, actually), and is actually how it got named. A like and subscribe in the hopes you will continue working on this great idea. Good luck to you, considering how much money has been made with Glow Fish this could turn you into a millionaire with a bit of effort and marketing! The world waits for no one, someone will get rich off this idea and I hope it is you but, again, the world waits for no one.

Aren't you concerned that using 365nm can cause damage to the plants and animals? I'm no expert but as far as I know you should use I protection if you are dealing with this wavelength for a few minutes I doubt that shining it directly on animals for like 10 minutes or something at a time will be good for them

I am trying to make one of these too! Has been in the works for a bit. Are there any black light bars to light a terrarium you recommend? I created a floating mountain terrarium and bought a van sky uv 365 nm flash light and it works great! Lots of central park moss fluoresces magenta! But I have so far tried two different brands of light bars to place over my avatararium and they don't make the moss glow at all. I thought black light was all the same but i guess i was wrong. have you run into this issue or is there a brand you recommend that makes light bars/strips i can put over the terrarium that will make the plants fluoresce?

ahhhhh, now this is a brilliant question actually and something im researching. i have noticed that when it comes to bioluminescence in plants, its not only the wavelength that matters but also the intensity and direction of the light. i have directed uv flashlights on plants and they only minimally fluoresce but when the light is focused, the florescence gets much brighter. this leads me to believe that in order to get the most reactive display, a more spotlight type of light would be better than florescent tubes or leds. its definitely something im playing around with and will post results when i have them

Its not much of a glow if you need to shine external light on it to see it. More of a gimmick
