Another year is almost done, which means that an updated look at the animal room is due. It took a while to make this happen, so I hope the wait was worth it! Can't wait to show you all some of the other things I'm working on. You won't want to miss them! Also, the 150 Cube is already well under way - going to be EPIC! As for the 75 gallon tank, what should I do? Let me know!

You've created a living museum. It's amazing. I like the built-in look of the habitats, that looks really nice and ties them all together. I love the movement of the duckweed on the top of the blackwater tank with their roots trailing down. The toads look fat and happy, I hope they have babies! I could spend hours and hours just pondering and looking. What a fantastic refuge you've created, for the animals and you.

Honestly, these scapes look so realistic I feel like I'd be watching them in their real habitat. Great update. Was late to watch this but happy to finally have time to see it.

What most impresses me with Tanner's room is the attention to detail, especially in the supporting equipment like the stands. So many "animal rooms" will create stunning enclosures and then skimp on everything surrounding them, it's like taking a beautiful painting and then using thumb tacks to put it on your wall. Would love to see a video on how to build a rack like the one you made for your 75 gallon aquariums.

Crazy how talented you are! You’re good with talking&explaining, quality filming and have an amazing artistic sense!

I'm honestly glad you did this tour. I'm, of course, amazed by the way it looks like most folk I'm sure, but not just that. This video inspired me and many of my builds; a 200G heavily-planted paludarium for 3 goldfish and 2 weather loaches, heavily-planted 100G with green tiger barbs and columbian tetras, my heavily-planted 40G with black phantom tetras, zebra loaches and corydoras, my 60G vivarium for my beloved fowler's toad rescued at 3 months old, Kiwi, my 15G blackwater filled with twigs, leaf litter and seed pods for my super red veiltail betta, Val, and I've even built a DIY 9×18×9" aquarium for my blind dumbo betta girl. Hopefully my enclosures end up as stunning like yours :)

Its just not fair for the fish and I'm glad you, with a big audience, speaks out about it.

As long as your set up accommodates for long fin fish (no rough surfaces and a slow water flow) then the fish should be just fine. But I draw the line at fish like bubble eye goldfish. The mutations on them are just cruel.

I discovered last year that I'm just too much of a novice for long fin bettas. It's easier for me to maintain a tank with a little bit of current, and it just doesn't do for a long fin betta. Obviously I'm not putting any bettas in stream tanks, but if a betta is stressed by the flow provided by a baffled HOB filter, it just doesn't seem right to keep one.

What an amazing room! I can’t wait to get an aquarium up and running in my house. As for that empty tank, it would be interesting to see you stretch your comfort zone with a more desert tank. Succulents/cacti, maybe a horny toad or something like that.

This is amazing. I’ve been working with animals for over 17 years and can’t wait to get to this standard of knowledge and ability to provide these enclosures

What an incredible setup, the design of everything is so on-point, from the scaping in each tank to the furniture they are housed in, which is remarkable because I know from watching your videos for years that aesthetics can only ever come second, the number one concern is the welfare of the animals! After seeing so many videos from you, its nice to see a tour like this to have a sense of the current set-up IRL, because in a way your youtube channel is like, the eternal, infinite animal room with every project youve ever done, even if they`ve since been dismantled or repurposed. Great stuff, as always! (100% worth waiting an extra day for this video, that must have been SO much work!)

One day, I will have a room like this. In the meantime I enjoy living vicariously through you. It's quite amazing what you do, Tanner! Lucky animals!

Finally someone who cares as much about the plants and small ecosystem as well as the animals.

Appreciate the PSA about the effort it takes to provide for these wonderful creatures.

"Incredible" is a severe understatement! It's so ZEN, I could sit in there for hours just staring at all the tanks and watching the animals. How do you manage to do ANYthing else lol

This was beyond awesome. I'd love to see the same style video done with your jar/closed terrariums to see how they've been doing and what's been successful, etc.

Phenomenal! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to an articulate, passionate individual who obviously has so much knowledge after years of research, Thank you for sharing.

So amazing!! I wouldn't wanna leave the room. Seriously! I would love to see a gf for your African bullfrog. He does seem a bit lonesome. I just love them all but I'm so curious as to what's going in the new huge one...?

When you mentioned opening doors on the front of the 350 gallon, my mind pictured you opening the entire front and being flooded head on! Jokes aside, I've been watching your videos every week and it's incredible to experience your room in its entirety. I started my own journey in the hobby back in 2009 but kinda feel out of love with it several years ago. I still loved and cared for my animals just as much, but my excitement for vivarium design just wasn't there. Your content reminded me how much I enjoy building and maintaining mini-ecosystems and I've picked back up with renewed ambition. I've really upped my plant game since discovering your channel and now I think I have an addiction. Anyway, thanks for sharing your journey with us. It always makes my day. See you next week!

This is absolutely amazing!! The care and love you put forth for your animals is so evident in just the sheer work you put in to make them feel comfortable in their environments! Watching your videos always makes me super happy because I know that all the animals you keep are getting the utmost care, respect, and love they deserve. One of my favorite KZreadrs and some of my favorite videos to watch and relax to!!

I know it’s not nearly as “Natural” as some of the other tanks, but I really love the look of the ghost ship tank, even with the simplicity, it still really jumps out at you, and I also think how crystal clear the water is also really helps to make it stand out! Plus the fact that you just MADE the ship, out of safe random materials, really shows how creative and skilled you are when it comes to building and designing these tanks. Absolutely beautiful, I would LOVE to own something like that! I mean all of your tanks are super beautiful, but for someone like me who has very little knowledge when it comes to maintaining these tanks, it seems like a fairly low maintenance set up, which would definitely be a good place for someone like me to start! (I may also be totally wrong about how much upkeep it requires because again, I know very little. But just from looking at it, it seems to be fairly self sufficient, besides the excess algae you mentioned, but you seemed to know a fairly easy solution to that, so I hope it wouldn’t require constant work / changes! Regardless, this was such an interesting and gorgeous tour of your room. If I had something like this in my house, I don’t think I would ever use another room again lol

I wish I was this dedicated towards literally anything!

I can't even come up with a clever comment because this room is so beautiful. I want to live in it. Is the air crisp from all the oxygen? It looks like you've established an ancient forest level of plants in there which constantly blows me away. Can't wait to be back next week :)

Your attention to detail is intense! I love how aesthetically pleasing the whole room is. You have a full vision of what you want and your crushing it. Happy new year friends!

From a guy that kept 6 aquariums running for years, several years ago! I can say that I'm impressed! ;-) Cheers

I cannot believe the amount of work that went into all of these aquariums. The entire room is set perfectly and spotless whereas I struggle to keep up the simple apartment maintenance.

I would love to see a build showcasing crabs or something like it. Love to watch them, and would be exiting to see you building them a perfect home!

Your animal room is truly and objectively incredible! You’ve poured a lot of time, effort and money into everything and it really shows.

I just realized why i love this guys voice and its because it reminds me of all those years gowing up watching How Its Made. Aint that somethin

Man that 350 gallon tank is something else... I would watch that for hours!!!! well done!!!

this guy needs to open a zoo of terrariums, aquariums, vivariums, paludariums, beautiful stuff tanner

I love reading all the positive comments. So great that we still have so many unproblematic creators putting their love into the world.

Thankyou for adressing betta's and tank mates. They are indeed all different. I saw on blogs en different pages that betta's can be kept with other fish. Mine wasn't having it either. Now he lives happy and alone in my tank, he is almost 1 year. 😊

I think you should have your own TV 📺 show like those yard crashers!! You have so much talent and knowledge, Thanks for everything you do.

I live for these updates! 😍 And YES with the long fins. I love them... to a point. Bettas and other animals get bred for looks, but we NEED to refocus on their health.

My dream room would look somewhat like this , the amout of talent and expertise this guy displays via his works always makes me awe loved all the tanks ❤️💯

So I’m into reptiles and my husband is into freshwater fish. You are the channel we love to watch together!!

Fish for Thought would call this tour a 5/5!

The Danios tank is so beautiful! I've watched that build video so many times!

I was talking with a friend about how I would love to have a room filled with vivariums and many different kinds of animals. So cool to see someone who has not only done this, but from scratch 👍👍👍 Super impressed and slightly envious ✌️😄

Great disclaimer of 22 years of work and research for what you love doing 👏

This is one of the best tours I've watched. Great information throughout and incredible inspiration!

i was enjoying your tour alot. I love your focus on meeting the animal requirements with natural feelin habitats. thank you and greetings from germany.

"Let me get off my soapbox though". I don't think you should. You're an expert in this field and you have years of hands on experience with these fish. If you aren't someone who should be speaking about ethics in vivariums, then I don't think there are many who could.

I really appreciate that you try your best to create a natural healthy environment for all your fish, plants and creatures. I wish fish farms would do the same so they have a life before they are harvested for food.

Absolutely incredible! Have you ever considered live streaming a few tanks for some ASMR-esque videos and allowing people to just look at and admire your animals/tanks? It'd be nice to just watch your animals interacting on top of your builds and upgrades

Every time we do one of these videos I come away with the same thought. And that's just how insanely skilled you are with making. Building, creating, and producing. It's insane to see all your projects in one go, when you've watched them over years and years. You don't consider how many of them there are, till you see them all together.

I can't keep a goldfish bowl from turning green and this dude got crystal clear tanks everywhere. Also I'm pretty stoned and find your videos extremely satisfying.

I so enjoyed the tour!! It's very heart warming to see I person who really cares about the welfare of the animals. Love the animal room. Keep it up kiddo. 💓💓💓

i just found your channel a few days ago and ive really enjoyed seeing all these different tanks youve created! i was very lucky to find you right now it seems, because after getting a patchwork story from hopping around various videos, im now fully up to speed thanks to this one! i think the ones im most happy to see are the pea puffer aquascape (i was so worried the algae would force you to redo the tank entirely!!) and the 350 paludarium (its just so big and lively!!!!) looking forward to seeing what you do next and im glad to be a part of the squad now (-:

Dude, you’re so intelligent and creative. Thanks for sharing your animal room! I’ve been laying in bed completely enjoying the tour.

The title of this video is not clickbait. Incredible is accurate.

I’ve been looking so forward to this video! I love how the animal room has evolved over the years to the ambitious, complex builds and set-ups, to the simple ones- they all come together so perfectly!

Great work Tanner.....looks marvelous and I always appreciate the fact that you put the animal's needs first! Maybe nice to set up the 75 gallon tank for Axolotls? WOuld be great to see those!

Amazing Tanner, thank you for showing us. Even though it will never happen I love the the thought of hanging out in there and getting a little tour

To be surrounded by these aquariums must be awesome & relaxing.

finding this channel has to be one of the biggest highlights of my year. its clear you love your animals want the best for them, and having known some people that don't, it's something that's very admirable. i'm so glad you're able to do all this not just for yourself, but for these animals to live full and happy lives. hoping next year continues to bring you success and i can't wait to see what's to come

I’m glad you reach 1 million! Been watching you a long time and you are 100% the best at creating these environments

So much respect for your entire setup! And the level of detail you got to go in was just so nice to watch. I love that you get to do and enjoy something that I can also relate to so much. Each little creature and plant in any setup has so much detail that I love to just watch in amazement. I finally started to go the more bioactive route a few years ago after watching you!

You said how much time you spent on this and iIjust paused to give a thumbs up and comment. What an investment.

I‘m sure, that the 600 Gallon Vivarium will be stocked with frogs. I would guess Dart Frogs or Agalychnes. Finally a room tour, good thing to see all these magnificent setups again. Keep going like this

This is absolutely amazing, I love the attention to detail and the level of care and passion you have for the animals. Alot of people approach tank animals unattentively and it can lead to neglect but the level of attention you give these creatures is heartwarming. Every angle is well thought out when it comes to the tank and the overall environment it produces. This strikes an excitement in me as I someday wish to create this. You seem have an incredible skill in botany and woodworking. All of these hand in hand create an excellent hobby and lifestyle, because when you fully commit to these creatures it becomes part of your life. Thank you for the content you produce, I wasn't aware of you before this video but you have earned a sub!

The 350 paludarium is my favorite! I just love the way your room just blends from one tank to the next. It's gorgeous!

What an amazing accomplishment! I'll say, I thoroughly enjoyed this update. Everything is looking so cool, there wasn't a single setup that you talked about that wasn't spectacular. Your dedication to your animals, no matter the species, is really commendable. Lots of people choose not to care about the living things around them, especially if they're not human. But you work tirelessly to keep your passion alive, and you always strive to treat your animals well and provide them with enriching lives. You're a rare soul, Tanner!

I am totally diggin' the vibe of this room! Your work is amazing and well presented.

I really enjoyed the tour of the animal room! Your critters all have such great habitats! I also really appreciate that you shared the trouble you had with hair algae with the one tank.... I'm struggling with it in my neocaridina tank and was considering taking it apart and starting over, so it was encouraging seeing that there is still hope!

I don't know much about fish, but I love the fact that though the aesthetic and design are incredible, they are secondary to the well being of the adorable aquatic wildlife (and spider)!

This is such an incredible video! Thank you for always taking so much time and care with your videos AND your animals! Your love for your animals really resonates and is so apparent.

Tanner, you have one of my favorite channels in all of KZread! I have been waiting for this animal room tour and you never disappoint. I am always rooting for you and excitedly anticipating the project you share with us next!

WOW, Tanner!! Just Wow! It's amazing what a dedicated, inventive and innovated artist can accomplish! You showcase those qualities and so much more! It's because of you and your videos tat I got back into keeping fish again, after 25-30 years. Nothing like yours, just a 55 and a 29 gallon. They're not bad, just nothing special. Although my brother, who kept a lot of tanks also, including a 200+ gal. Saltwater tank, said my tanks look really good, which really means a lot to me. Thank you, (and I'm sure many others feel the same way) for sharing the love and enthusiasm you bring to the hobby!!! God Bless Tanner, and keep doing what you have been doing so well! You know, reading back through the post, I don't know if I used enough explanation points (lol) ;-)
