Giant DIY 600 Gallon Jungle Vivarium

In this one, I finally setup, plant, and showcase the new 600 gallon vivarium! It's been in the works for a really long time now and I'm so excited to finally have it done! I've been working on it for the past year or so, but I've been talking about it for much longer than that.

In some cases I wanted to keep this build simple. Plus my vision for it always was just a jungle scape full of plants. I didn't care to add a water feature or anything like that. I also WILL stock it at some point. After all the work I put into this, I'd rather have it season for a little while fist. I'm fairly certain I know what I want living in here, but I'm open to suggestions - let me know what you think in the comments!

Also, if you want to know how I built the enclosure itself, check out the below video. It was pretty easy to do to and not very expensive. I used a lot of scrape materials and simple techniques to make it happen.

What do you think of this vivarium? I don't know about you, but I love it! It looks much better in person obviously, but I hope you enjoyed seeing it through the lens nonetheless. Also, I WILL stock it at some point. I'm fairly certain I know what I want living in here, but I'm open to suggestions - let me know what you think!

And that’s why Josh’s frogs plants are never in stock when I need them

Tanner, I just want to thank you.

My 6-year-old son has a huge fear of creepy crawlies, and he is slowly overcoming this fear thanks to watching your channel.

Last summer, I made a jam jar terrarium after watching your 'how to make a terrarium for free' video. I hoped it would show my boy how bugs are an important part of life and (where we live) completely harmless. He wasn't interested. But since then, a year later, the terrarium is thriving, the flora looks incredible, and the isopods had babies. And one day it finally piqued my son's interest.

Since then, we have made another terrarium together, my son has been handling ants, worms, isopods, and almost picked up a spider while hunting for hardscape, moss, and isopods to include. I can't believe the turnaround.

Thank you, Tanner!

When I get rich, (soon), I will have almost this exact set up but floor to ceiling. Unreal set up. So impressive. Thanks for sharing.

I love how tanner envisions the scape and uses nature and natural scenes to create an indoor scape. Almost as if he takes the scene straight from nature to his home, its amazing. Quite a gift he has.

I could watch at this for hours without beeing bored.

I truly cannot put into words how perfect that looks. Whatever little animal ends up in there is lucky!

[zerosteam]

This is honestly one of the most impressive tanks I’ve seen hands down! As for the creatures to live in here I think leachianus, or tokay geckos would be amazing. Emerald tree skinks would also be beautiful in this enclosure. Which ever way you go I’m sure the animal that ends up in this mini jungle will live a amazing life

not going to lie, I binge-watched your videos then fell asleep. Your voice while describing your process is so relaxing

[Crystallz]

Oh yea! This one will end up being as gorgeous, if not better than the 8oo & 600 together! I love it! Thanks!

Imagine the ✨FRESHNESS✨ of the air in his room!

[artsyapple]

As a plant nerd, yes, pls go over all the plants and their lighting requirements that helped you decide where to put them!

[captainalie]

Dude, you're a legend. Keep going and doing what you love.

[magicalsimmy]

I wish I had the personality, attention to detail, planning ability and focus to do something like this. I’m lucky to remember to eat breakfast.

While watching this, I learned something new - that SerpaDesign is even cooler than I thought

[johnvreugdenhil]

Omg dude, totally stunned by the beauty. Much love from the Netherlands

[Joniness]

I'm happy that with the power of YouTube people can do incredible things like this and still support themselves

[possum]

You've outdone yourself with this one, I think. I can only imagine how impressive it must be in person.

I know I've said it before but I love how you've come to refine your technique over the years you've had this channel!! I can't wait to see who you decide to move into the enclosure...

[TaigaNatsuki]

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!!!
