Description: We've made so many different projects over the years and many of those builds included isopods. Till now, you've mostly seen them in vivariums and terrariums, which were a lot of fun. Even still, I haven't made a dedicated setup for them yet. Why? I honestly don't really know. Now seemed like the perfect time though. I wanted to do things differently for this build. The enclosure itself is pretty standard, other than the sliding doors. I typically wouldn't use them on such a small enclosure. It worked for this because the tank is long. I also wanted to showcase how to make a clay background. Although I've made them in the past and mentioned them in previous videos, I've never properly showcased them before. That said, I did briefly mention them in the Wabi Kusa tutorial. youtu.be/m-Oqdyr7l0Y The combination of various elements made for a unique-looking setup that showcases the isopods well. As I said in the video, I wanted to loosely replicate the look of a fallen tree. Specifically the uprooted area. I didn't have much to work with at the time, but regardless, I think I pulled off that look quite well. What do you think?
