Underwater Riparium Air Pockets for Houseplants Grown in Aquarium Substrate Aquascape

I thought of this idea about a month ago while adding concepts to my idea book. I like to do that as inspiration strikes, so I never forget anything. While revisiting a few things, I was reintroduced to this idea. I wasn't quite sure how I make it happen or if it was even possible, but I had a strong feeling that it would be.

Sure enough it was and I'm really excited with the result. I know that terrariums and ripariums are both viable long term solutions and this is essentially just a combination of the two. As such, I have no reason not this think this should work. My only complaint is condensation on the glass. For now I'm fine to leave it like this, but if I decide to keep the aquarium going indefinitely, then I'll try to come up with a solution.

Anyway, enjoy this fun and challenging project and let me know what you think about it down in the comments!

EDIT: To elaborate on how this works, it's essentially a terrarium that's underwater, as explained in the video. The only difference is that the plants are growing in the aquarium's substrate. In this way, the plants will sustain themselves just as they would in a traditional terrarium. When the lights go off the plants respire and give off CO2, which is utilized again when the lights turn back on. It creates a nice loop that keeps the system going indefinitely. I elaborate on it here in a much older video. https://youtu.be/7Lg4tzkHgVo I wasn’t sure if this build would even be possible, but I was able to make it happen! It’s definitely a wacky concept, but in principle it should work long term. It’s basically just a combination of a terrarium and riparium, but underwater. It’s always fun to bring these ideas to reality, so I hope you all enjoy it! Let me know what you think and enjoy the rest of your weekend SerpaSquad!

This is crazy! Never seen something like this. I'm curious to see how this one develops over time !

What if you coated the inside of the jars with something hydrophobic? Lots of chemicals do that for clothing and shoes and things and maybe it would allow that glass to become far more transparent. Also love the back frosting, adds a great effect! Love watching your videos man, its so relaxing and makes me really want to build a small aquarium when I have more space.

Can always expect something downright ethereal with your designs! It's like seeing little fairy or mermaid habitats and each project looks like you plucked the setup out of a photo in the wild. Thanks for the quality, creative content as always!

Please keep this build together for at least a year and then update us! This is such an interesting concept. While it seems similar to past projects I'd say this is something wholly different. I'm extremely curious about gas exchange in the plant bubbles and if the respired CO2 from the plants themselves will indeed be adequate to keep them thriving. I suspect some CO2 will also leech into the air from the water as it evaporates and the condenses on the glass. Your builds always inspire me so much!

Seems like a nightmare to clean all that glass. What I'd be interested in to see is if the submersed aquarium plants will eventually grow inside the cloches in their emersed forms... and also, of course, how this setup does long-time.

This is crazy!! I could imagine tha there are some safe anti-fog sprays for better cleraty! Also I would have loved to see some animals like crabs or frogs that could use the space in the bubble as well. Keep it up!

I was literally thinking about building one of these last night. This is insane. They say when you think of an idea that has never been thought of 10 other people in the world will have that exact same thought right then and there. But only 1 if not none will follow through with the idea. I’m glad you did. I wouldn’t of been able to pull this off. Super smart and unique. Reminds me of the floating islands in avatar

This is amazing! It's like a science fiction world of underwater habitats in miniature. Also very beautiful. I actually don't think the condensation on the cloches is detrimental to the aesthetic effect--it adds to the otherworldly look.

I know the condensation makes it hard to see the plants, but it gives the entire scape a futuristic silver sheen that I love. Beautiful work as always!

Your imagination & your minds ability to bring whatever you can think of to fruition blows me out of the water every time. Well done! That piece looks like something straight out of a sci-fi fantasy world! I can just imagine an entire world like this except our houses, streets, forests & every other kind of building & structure we need/want are all inside enclosed air pockets, too! This is how man will build under the sea! 😀😍😋

Wow! That is a crazy idea! I am really interested to see how these plants do long term. I'm already excited for the update.

You never cease to amaze me with your ingenuity. Such a creative way to showcase terra plants. Also anticipating your new animal move-in completion. Congrats on your new home with many more amazing setups!
