I like the first nano riparium so much that I decided to make another! Like I said in the video, the first was intended to be an angled tank like this, but I decided to save it for another build once I got started. Here's a link to that video in case you missed it: https://youtu.be/45bZ7lplBj0

I really like how this one turned out as well. What do you think? Looking at it now, I think I'm going to add some botanicals. I could have added more plants, but I like the negative space created by the lack of plants in certain areas. However, I think that botanicals will elevate the design, without taking away from that feature.

Believe it or not a lot of plants will work in this type of setting. Just look for things that like soggy/wet soil or grow in or near bodies of water in nature (i.e. marginal plants). Most aquarium plants will also do really well in a setup like this, but you will most likely have to gradually acclimate them to the open air.

As promised, here is the Plant List: Syngonium podophyllum (variegated), Rabbit's Foot Fern, Alternanthera ficoidea, Purple Waffle Plant, Cryptocoryne wendtii 'Bronze', Tillandsia ionantha 'Red', Salvinia Minima, Micromeria brownei, Ludwigia Narrowleaf, Liverwort and Badge Moss

Lastly, I figured it might be useful to share a video on cutting glass. It's really easy to do and something I won't make a video on. However, this is the best one that I could find on it: https://youtu.be/hIWfvgDJ3JE
