It felt great to finally start building in the new studio. I can’t begin to explain how much better the workflow was! It was great to work with moss again as well. I hope you all enjoy the video, and I can’t wait to share what’s next. Have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

How do you keep these from molding? I tried one of these but it died within a couple weeks due to mold.

I love it, Tanner! You make it look so easy, but it's not. It's your skill showing!

Looks like a stone troll. I like it.

I love how you basically built what could be a huge, inspiring landscape into a tiny space. I could just imagine being ant-sized and marvelling at this scape near some hidden jungle coastline.

I’ve been thinking a lot and, I’m realizing how much of a positive affect this channel has had on my life. The hobby of aquarium making I’ve gained has added something really nice to my life and I really appreciate everything the whole SerpaDesign channel and ideas have helped me personally.

it didn't occur to me that that little sand pit was actually going to serve such a smart purpose, literally thought you just wanted a zen sand garden to chill out with 😂 but using it to test out your scapes is so clever i love that. EDIT: wow i guess i wasn't the only one lmao

It's actually something fish stores now offer for their customers buying rocks and wood. Except breaking rocks into smaller pieces. I don't think they'd like that part. :D

Absolutely gorgeous! Thanks to your inspiration over the years, I finally built my first terrarium this week. It's not much but I'm happy with it.

i've been following your channel since middle school and now i am majoring in biology. i just want to say your passion in this craft is really admirable and i feel like you're a big part of why i chose my field as well lol. this year i am planning to build my first ever full sized vivarium, soooo excited!!!

Love the little pool on top.

This build evokes castle in the sky, I love it

The Salamanders would love to have a grotto in their build!!

This video just makes me feel calm and happy

The top of water is so pretty it feels like it would be refreshing to have a swim in it and the whole scape looks so ethereal

Absolutely incredible, love it! With everything going on you could add some shrimp down at the bottom.

Watching this while my pair of alpine newts are breeding👍👍🦎 You are the one that inspired me to make tiny terrariums and eventually make huge vivariums with different species and animals, thank you

Ive really missed the Peace you bring to my life with your miniature worlds.

He’s done it again! My jaw literally dropped when it was finished, looks amazing! I just love how it looks like a giant mountain even though it’s so small. Great work tanner!

A bonsai tree next to it wouldn't be out of place.

That really turned out beautifully! Thank you for sharing!❤😊

The creeping fig along the top does a great job of tying all the different mosses together.

I’ve had a terrible week so far, this made it a lot better

the rocks on the sides really did pull it all together! I'm blown away by the final result.

Very very nice video. The best part was how everything built up to a great reveal at the end.

really like this scape. Absolutely makes me think of those rocks that stick out of the ocean and have all the sides worn away so they get all these cool columns and pillars

I love simple builds like this. I thought that the low flow on this build really tied everything together!

i love your creations and calming demeanor. now if only my moss wouldn't keep dying....

I always love your moss builds. I live in a very mossy area and I'm fascinated by it myself. One day, I make something like this, too. Thank you for inspiring me. Can't wait to see what you do for 2024. I love the room tours, upkeep vids, builds, thought process, well all of it. Much love to you from the mossy PNW.

I dig this. Seems like something you'd have on your desk or maybe an end table in its own corner.

Wow! I felt like I was on the coast of a faraway land. Just gorgeous! ❤

I need one of Tanner's builds in my life.

Tanner, your creativity is phenomenal. This piece is so beautiful and relaxing to look at. All your work is truly stunning.

man the new studio is so aesthetically pleasing, i love the sand bar

What I like about you and your Chanel is that you actually care about the animals you keep. You don’t just keep them for the looks but to actually make them happy. Keep going Serpa

Beautiful moss grotto. It brings in a sense of calm and serenity. Very nice. Gina

This is so gorgeous. Mist would look amazing in this!

That was basically a loveletter/video to moss ... 👍

That might be one of my favorite terrariums you have made! Please do a crayfish aquarium!

This is a fantastic MossyDesign to start the year.

Stunning, just stunning! About to embark on my very first terrarium - thank you :)

You gave me so many ideas for my own builds through your videos! Keep up the good work!

What a strong start to the year! Can't wait for more~

Awesome Tanner, I used to build all types of these as a side business when I was younger. Custom made to each owner. I even drill large size of pumice stones for different effects. Lots of fun and great income.

This is a beautiful piece. I agree completely that often less is more and this piece hits a perfect balance. That small scoop of sand up in the rocks where the water pools is just magical.

I think this is my favorite nano build yet!!! So happy you worked with moss again :D

I went to share this video and had to think of the best way to describe your channel. "The Bob Ross of Moss" is what my brain decided on. Beautiful art along with calm and relaxing atmosphere.

This is my favorite project of all time. 💪💪💪

Wow, wow, wow! Beautiful and so calming! Thank you!🎉

Another fantastic build! I absolutely love how you kept it simple for this project without the addition of wood; it is perfect.

This is a real work of art.

Simple but great first video of the year. No animals even. I've been needing some inspiration for bringing something simple like this to my work...I may bust out the 9 gallon bowl once again.

One word...Perfection!!!

I love this terrarium. So simple and beautiful.

Wonderful with mostly moss. Just enough water to make it ideal for many moss species, as they all seem to prefer slightly different levels of hydration. I see this in nature constantly, in the steep mountain streams of my homeland.

Oh man, that looks absolutely stunning!! I can definitely see this piece in some large company executive building

You are an on-going inspiration Tanner. My advice is continue falling down the miniature rabbit hole, but I'm biased...and a dream of mine is to work on a project with you some day ✌

Absolutely stunning work as always 🤩

I would love to see this done on a larger scale, like if the container you have the scape in could be like the size of a small coffee table and placed in the corner of the room or something. Just a cool giant rock and moss formation in the room!!

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!! Just like the sky mountain biome in Avatar too!

I mean, how beautiful is that?!

Happy new year to you and those you love ❤❤❤

Absolutely stunning.. Tranquility in a tray. Love your work Tanner. ♥️🤌🏼

It's always a pleasure

Love moss builds!

Oh my gosh Tanner you are really gifted using those simple things and imagining it to be like that, it’s so calming and very pleasing to be a decoration in the house❤ it 👍🏻👏

FRICKIN' STUNNING!!! 😍😍😍

Serpa Post LETS GOOOOOOOOO

It's beautiful. Peaceful.

I’m so envious that you can just walk outside and find various types of mosses, all beautifully green and lush. Even during peak winter here when moss should have the best chance of growing, offerings are paltry at best. I tried growing out a container from what little I could scrounge but I just killed it. And then to add insult to injury, I can’t import live moss into my home state in Australia, because of bio quarantines. 🫠🫠 Just love seeing your moss builds. Just over here, wishing for a good moss crop finally. 😂

Gorgeous as ever, and you always make it look effortless but so intricate. Every little area you look at has purpose & something going on. Such talent & skills that I can only dream of having 💚🐍💚

Beautiful Tanner, just beautiful! 🌲💚🙃

Wooooo first video of the new year!

This piece is so beautiful! Can we get more lowfi videos with your dynamic scapes and aquariums/ripariums? Those three you made on your second chanel have given much peace and space to study. Love the builds and inspiration you give us :).

My grandsons and I adamantly agree that this was a perfect build to ring in the new year! Thank you very much!!🤗🤗🤗

It looks like some sort of stone monster 🤔 so pretty

Wow, absolutely stunning 😊😊😊

*BRO* I just searched Google for African dwarf frogs and in the tags on the top for topic suggestions boom there's you smiling next to one of your tanks. *YOU* are on Googles suggestion for "aquariums" RIGHTFULLY SO! You have become one of the best at your craft and raised the bar for animal care and proper housing! I'm proud of you dude! You're an inspiration and you made a difference for so many pets! Congratulations!

that's a piece of art right there 💚

Tanner, you can be proud of yourself for inspiring so many people to try for themselves.

Beautiful. Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.

yet another wonderful build! your videos inspire me to use my own creativity for whatever project i happen to be working on in that moment. thank you for sharing your talents!

You are an artist. That is so beautiful. I wish I had the patience and knowledge to make something half as nice as this.

what a wonderful way to start the new year. Thank-you so much Tanner. Wishing you and your wife the best for 2024🎉

Wow! This turned out awesome!

Absolutely Beautiful

Stunning, always look forward to your video drops.

I absolutely love this design 😊

I just love everything thing you do it always turns out so beautiful. Thanks again for your vision.❤

What a beautiful design

Another stunning build!

Absolutely stunning!!!

I love this! Very detailed and minimal at the same time ✌️

I feel your respect for nature. It’s sad but these terrariums may end up in futuristic zoos as our only reminders of nature. This display is amazing in your capture of true nature.

Excellent Tanner! Thank you for the inspiration.

Such a beautiful and relaxing piece of living art 😊

Your work is so professional looking, I wouldn't take it amiss to see in a fancy shop. (I don't follow the channel closely enough to know all the intimate detail so forgive me if this is already the case, please.) It's also so beautiful and visually interesting. I always come away from these videos feeling calm yet inspired. This build in particular reminded me of visiting california as a lad and I found this tiny cave with algae growing all around it. I was able to fit in it back then! Thanks again

Another amazing creation. 😀

Beautiful as always

This is incredible i would love to walk through this in real life 🎉

Beautiful build as usual.

Simplicity simply genius! Love it!

Amazing! Reminds me of the Apostle Islands

I always love your artwork. Wish you lots of blessings in new years.
