Inside My Flooded Cave Ecosystem (One Year of Growth)

Bro finally remembered his password 🗿🗿🗿

This man posted 3 video combining over 10m views and ghosted us…. Thank god he’s back

Seeing these videos inspired me, a middle school science teacher, to make a natural aquarium in my classroom at the beginning of this school year. Last year, I started to teach 7th grade science. In my old, cluttered classroom, someone had left a 30gal tank. It held a bag of soil, lab equipment, and whatever trash the kids managed to sneak into it. I didn't think much of it for months since my first year of teaching felt like drinking tank water through a fire hose. It wasn't until I saw your videos a few months ago that I felt the excitement and confidence to fill the aquarium with life. I am not tech savvy at all, so seeing your beautiful ecosystem tanks made me feel like the aquarium hobby could work for me. Better yet, letting nature take the lead for my first tank felt like a better lesson for me and my students. I planted the tank and let it sit for a while, as the scuds, worms, snails, and whatever else overtook the large tank. Slowly over the year, I added guppies, pygmy corydoras, some kuhli loaches, a honey gourami, and some shrimp I smuggled in as well. The adorable Animal Crossing or Yoshi noises for those guppies and pygmy corydoras in the guppy tank video made me fall in love with those fish. It has made my job a lot more fun for me and my kids. Now, as I close up the year, my students are giving presentations on their small ecosystem jar project I did with them, using some mason jars I found under a lab sink, plus the plants and critters that had overgrown my tank. Their projects are testing their hypotheses about snails, scuds, and water fleas as we close the year with a unit on biodiversity. I can't wait to reward their hard work by showing them this video on our last few days of school. All of this to say... tanks for nothin? More like thanks... for EVERYTHING.

When I saw you hadn’t made videos in months my buddy said, “They’re probably just working on more, look how much time it takes.” I’m so happy they were right. Thank you for the work you do in sharing this with everyone.

I love that the internet has become a place where very niche interests can gain a massive audience. You drop three IMMACULATE videos and vanish off the face of the earth. When you come back, you literally have hundreds of thousands of people at your beck and call despite the time gap. Your work is amazing, and I am so hyped for this channel's growth.

The summoning cricle finally worked

There was no need for the Minecraft music at the wild waterfall part to go so hard. Gave me chills man.

I absolutely LOVE the Minecraft Villager sound effects for Kuhli Loaches! It's absolutely ADORABLE!

The “it’s in orbit now” comment when the frog kicked the cricket on stream sent me 😭

The editing, the cinematography, the pure BALLS a lad has to have to return 9 months later like he never missed a beat. big ups

How is nobody talking about how he just pulled the HARDEST EDIT i have ever seen at 27:14 💀 I’m literally in tears 😭

The Minecraft nose was perfect I really love this dude he’s just being himself it makes it even more awesome

The fish-shaped knob you made for the stand is criminally underrated.

And when we needed him most, he returned.

I rarely comment but your video style, content, and approach is extremely refreshing in the cesspool of over the top editors, and click bait videos. Truly, you are doing a service to YouTube, AND humanity. Thank you.

The fact everything you buy is free or close to it is just so funny to me, and really brings an extra sparkle to your videos

Your first video was randomly recommended to me, and sent me down a rabbit hole of fish tank videos. Today i have four fish tanks and could not be happier thank you so much❤

The return of the king

the fact i found your videos only a few days ago and then went away thinking, you're never coming back BUT HERE YOU ARE

the perfect balance of editing, narration, music, humor, and simply fascinating ideas!! i have zero aquarium knowledge, but these videos are such a treat. the little sound effects given to all the critters are just so delightful! (like, seriously, villager noises for the loaches??? unexpectedly perfect!) thanks for the video! <3
