Creating a Second Giant Ecosystem Vivarium

My giant cloud rainforest ecosystem vivarium, Pantdora, has been a dream tank. Its unique plethora of flora and fauna, all connected via the food web, and lead to some amazing insights into the workings of Mother Nature! But the time has come to create a second ecosystem vivarium, an attachment to Pantdora, as an extension to the biological world we created. In this episode, I travel to the biodiverse island of Borneo and Australia to explore different biomes, and decide on what animals, plants, and fungi, I might be able to house in our next world. Hope you enjoy this Episode 5, Season 2 of my ecosystem vivarium series. Ant love forever! This video was shot in 4K Ultra HD resolution.

OMG! AC Family, this is about to get crazy! Now that you've learned everything by the end of this video, LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! Which biome type should we do as an extension to Pantdora?

I love that the guy I used to watch as a hobbyist is now rich enough to own a mansion full of vivariums. Way to go bud.

A canopy expansion would be amazing to watch the plants grow through

[SmapVapston]

At first, I wanted to see a cave, but after watching this video, the canopy addition seems like a perfect dovetail into what you already have accomplished.

[biology-of-life]

A canopy vivarium would definitely be my choice!

[yifan_]

I think canopy is the best option here. It would be awesome to see plants grow there and see insects jumping around. You can even have a weaver ant nest up there!

[clementwg]

My personal vote:
1. Lowland rainforest
2. Canopy
These two home the most interesting insect/animal options and beautiful vivarium for him to record wonderful footages for us to see.

Never thought I'd be hooked on a channel about bugs and vivariums. The work you put into this is amazing.

[justpoke]

I remember watching this guy when I was a child and now that I’m older, I enjoy his content even more. You were a special part in my childhood. Thank you!

Changed my mind, build a canopy.Add mammals and birds.

[trishadewet]

A CANOPY! I had chosen Cave before, but after this, I reckon a Canopy would be a great learning opportunity and a great natural expansion on the already thriving vivarium. Also, the potential fauna is super interesting, with lively creatures we can enjoy watching. Plus: ANTS!

1: Canopy. Not many people get to see what is actually going on in a canopy. This would be super fascinating!
2: Cave. I would love to see bats, if you can connect to the outside, (and you can handle the ammonia smell).

Hi- so im kinda new here. I used to watch this channel like 5 years ago, but I'm newly returning and my mind is I'm so happy to see you're still here and that there is still a community here!! I wish you nothing but luck!!!

[nikki]

A CANOPY vivarium sounds like it may not only be the most practical but also really cool to see. Lots of potential, with mammals and birds and others. Next choices would be 2.Lowland rainforest, 3.Cave system, 4.Grasslands then finally 5.Swamplands.

[ledocteur]

The canopy idea would be amazing ! I love vertical vivariums, it gives such a grand sense of scale to even fairly "small" volumes, and not needing a bridge also makes the two habitats more directly connected, which I think could make the Ecosystem more seamless.

The cave is my second favorite, the partially cavernous vivariums You've created over the years look amazing !

[tchummay]

Canopy ! canopy ! canopy ! The way your setup is made would be perfect for this expansion !!

[WildHL]

Regardless of what biome you choose to do next, you HAVE to build a canopy at some point. The fact that it would just perfectly connect with Pandora and into your second floor is just impossible to ignore.

[kristalb]

Love the idea of a canopy! The inclusion of mammals and birds would be so great for a more diverse ecosystem. And building up would look so grand going from floor to ceiling. A vivarium reaching to the heavens

[Nphen]

Canopy connected vertically to Pantdora gives habitat for sugar gliders & other mammals, as well as a refuge. Since a lot of people want to see a cave, I'd say make a small cave connected to Pantdora in the room like you said. Creatures can then go up into the canopy or "down" into the cave. I think having places where creatures can "leave" Pantdora for a nearby biome will give the most unexpected surprises!
