I enjoy creating and sharing nature designs, but there’s often a perception that they’re always expensive. Although that’s the case in some instances, it’s not the norm for me. DIYing, working with what I have, and buying things on sale help me do things cost-effectively. In this one, I wanted to share how it’s possible to make a paludarium of all things with minimal materials, simple techniques, and stuff from my yard. Enjoy!

It was awesome being able to get outside again to collect materials and I think this one turned out great! Probably one of the best examples yet of what's possible simply using things found in the yard (or on the side of the road lol). What do you think? Let me know and have a great weekend SerpaSquad!

Hi! Thank you for this new video! I have been watching all your content these last weeks and I decided to build my first small aquarium! I bought the glass and silicone and built the tank, only to realise I used a silicone that contains a biocide 😢 I didn't want to take the chance and risk killing all the fish, so now I am scraping off all the silicone and doing it again with a safe product. Did something like this ever happened to you as a beginner? Also, how do you make sure not to introduce any toxic or dangerous substances in the water? Again thanks for all the free knowledge you are sharing with us, keep up the wonderful job! ❤

I find watching “waterfalls” in paludarium very relaxing. Years ago I created one for a friend in a 60 gal tall, custom built, “antique” Metaframe tank. He put in a few Spring Peepers, 2 Red Efts (which eventually became Eastern Newts) and a white Beta in the water section -which was much larger. Tiny ferns & micro-mini/miniature Sinningia added color & contributed to the sense of scale. Also called “Wood Violets” tiny Sinningia are a great plant for small-scale builds as they bloom and reseed constantly with no care. In the Gloxinia family there was a Sinningia Society in the Northeast at that time (I’m sure they still exist.) As usual nice job👍🏻

Holy carp man! I bought 2 of these at $20ea 5 months ago and turned them into mini aquariums for rehab & inverts...cool to see you got the same tanks and turned them into paludariums! I'm upgrading the rehab fish of these tanks to a few 12 gal bowfronts that haven't been sold since the 90's and wasn't sure what to do with these tanks afterward...nice idea :)

This video came at the perfect time! I was about to attempt a ten gallon paludarium similar to your rubber ducky isopod build, and I had always wanted to include a water feature. I had tried time and time again since I found your channel about 7-8 years ago. But now with the advice from this video I think I can do it! I plan to get some millipedes, like the large one you found in the woods. Thanks so much, you have always been one of my biggest inspirations! ❤

I've been enchanted by it since I was a little girl in NYC long ago. It will thrive, lush and green, from nothing but grit and powdered dog poop blown into a crack in the sidewalk, watered by rain.
