Build a Waterfall Terrarium for only $82

In this video, I demonstrate how to make a mini waterfall in a jar; pretty much a mini paludarium. It's great for small spaces and for people who are on a tight budget.
If you are going to replicate this for yourself, DO NOT USE a fine grained sand like I did. The sand may be able to pass through the filter foam. This can damage the filter and significantly reduce its lifespan. Instead, use rocks or a LARGE gravel. As usual, if you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments below.
Products I used:
Filter Foam: amzn.to/3wRvdg7
Spray Foam: amzn.to/3JLEVEo
Light: amzn.to/3wGOUHn
Silicone: amzn.to/3qBAuEx
Pump: amzn.to/3wIE1EC
Sphagnum Moss: amzn.to/3uu5qHF

    • I also have found a huge interest in terrariums because of your videos and I think you should make another more in depth tutorial on how to create one with all of the elements such as the misting system and how to chose an enclosure that suits your needs. As well as what different kinds of animals to put in them

    • It could have gone much better! I ended up going to a plant nursery near my house that wasn’t well stocked with tropical plants that do well in closed environment. I got 3 that were shakily recommended and after 5 months only one is still alive. I put snails and other small insects in that may have contributed to the other 2 plants failing though. Overall I really enjoyed doing it and look at it every day!

I have a small hobby of making little terrariums and these videos are a great source of inspiration. I haven’t experimented with any live plants/critters or anything like that (just fake plants and props) but might have to tinker around with some live plant life at least or water terrariums in general
