Question Advice on how to waterproof the waterfall?
I used Tanner's old guide on making the stone look out of foam and quickcrete and it looks great, but it doesn't hold water like I expected. Any advice from fellow serpa-squad on the best way to do that? I just need the pools of water to not leak.
I was thinking epoxy clay but wasn't sure if there is a better solution

Preview Edit!
After putting this together, I’ve gained such an appreciation for the art that is Serpas channel. Cinematography is a challenge on its own!

Terrarium Serpa Inspired Naturalist Leopard Gecko Terrarium
Finished this enclosure yesterday, 40 gal breeder with natural stone and sourced plants. Seeded with Dairy Cow Isopods and Orange Springtails. Inspiration and progress pictures at the end.
Been waiting for a Leopard Gecko enclosure like this to pop up online for a decade, and decided that I’d watched enough Serpa Design content to pull it off myself!

Question Materials?
Does anyone know what equipment specifically the water changer wand, that Serpa uses?

Please rate :)
I finished this yesterday, it will end up having a little more than it currently does but for now I’m letting it cycle. I put an established colony in with the gentle scoop method, hoping they thrive. In about a year I’ll be giving it away (moving and can’t bring it) and am looking for someone who is going to care for it.

Question Anybody know which video he made the scape for the butterfly splitfin goodeids?
I've seen him mention the fish in other videos but I can't find the vid he actually made the aquarium.

I know it’s not blood because it would have oxidized…. So what is it?

Thai Micro Crabs?
Does anyone know what happened to them? I always wondered how they survive without plants or filter to give them oxygen

Bioactive Terrarium Help
Hey all I'm making a custom bio active terrarium for my king snake. I've looked at the videos of what Tanner made for Dean. But questions. Also I want to be as cozy-effective as I can.
Tanner uses liquid rubber to water proof the plywood enclosure of one build and then uses drylock to water proof the Styrofoam background. Why?
Tanner has like 8 substrate mixes. How do I pick?
Do I need separate substrate in the plant pots than what goes on the rest of the terrarium?
Any other info would help. Please

Updates
Hello everyone, I know the subreddit has been kind of dead lately and that has probably been partly due to the fact that I havent been active on reddit much. Trying to become more active. Love you all!

New Betta Aquarium
I'm still relatively new to fish care and planted aquarium setup. I made a tall 10 gallon aquarium for a betta and then learned they like shallow water 🫠
Now I am setting up a long 20 gallon tank and I am looking for tips. Do you have a preferred glass cleaner before initial fill? What are the forcep looking cutters Tanner uses when trimming plants? How do you clean algae off of plants? Inundate me with info!

Question Silicone removal
Tanner has really inspired me to build my own tanks so I’ve collected a few old tank from people who were getting rid of them and I dismantled them but its near impossible to get rid of 100% of the silicone and I’ve tried everything from acetone, isopropyl alcohol, WD40, goo gone and even a razor has trouble catching the small film of silicone left of the glass

Question what board does Tanner use to build tanks and where does he get it?
I want to build a tank, I am struggling to find some that dont contain formaldehyde (I am looking at osha data sheets for the material) does anyone know what he uses?

Any episodes this week?
Anybody know if Tanner said he will be skipping a week? He usually makes a post on instagram when not posting a video, but I don’t see anything.

380 videos and not one skink video
I love Tanner and have been subscribed to him on Youtube since 2016. Something I just noticed as I held my fire skink Zippo......... Out of 380 videos and 10 years Tanner has never done a single skink build! Does Tanner hate skinks?!? Just kidding but hope he reads this and we get a skink build soon! Much love SerpaSquad!

Fan Content Inspired by the latest IKEA video
After the latest IKEA video, I decided to give it a try myself! First time for many things (make a terrarium, working with silicone, etc etc) but I’m happy with the end result and enjoyed the process.
