Hey Cam the Fish Guy, Hope you are all doing well over there :)

[@optimus240299]

Beard looking good!

[@leehempson9408]

Hey Cam, nice work looking forward to future updates of the tank!!

[@goonyaranderson5476]

Hi cam I live in lightning ridge and I was wanting to my own tank and fish but I don’t know where I would get fish any recommendations and tips for a person like me wanting to get into hobby and don’t really know how or where to start

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I’m sure we can help. PM the shop on Facebook and we can talk logistics. Cam

[@chrisduncan3943]

Is the new saltwater just heated from the sun/ambient temperature? How would you handle this in the winter?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

At this time of year the ambient temp is perfect, and in winter we heat the water. Summer is definitely the hardest time as it difficult to chill our water supply. I usually try to do waterchanges early in the morning before the day heats up too much. Cam

[@Lutharthegreat]

Great video as always and that was a big fish at the end. Hope they all stayed healthy and survived the ammonia spike. Great looking tank for sure.

[@martijnvanbeek4387]

Hi Cam, at the end you mentioned more fish will be introduced, fish that you have in store. Does that mean that you are deciding which fish are going to be in that tank? Or is it solely upon the owner to choose? Just wondering. Grz from the Netherlands

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I certainly gave recommendations which they took. We have an eight foot tank full of large fish at the store so they had a good choice. Cam

[@jeffjarry4257]

Nice job saving the fish cam. Can you do a video of where you get your water from? I think that would be awesome to see Thank you.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Hi Jeff, we will definitely be doing this before the ending of the year. Cam

[@MoeReefs]

Did they not put bottled bacteria in the tank after the move? That usually does the trick for me.

[@DavidDavis311]

I was thinking the same thing. But judging by the extreme level of overfeeding I don’t think the owner is very experienced.

[@cegentry]

Cam, I have to ask. What is a Yute (spelling)? Never heard that term for a vehicle being from America. Love your videos man. 👍

[@acotyac]

Short for "utility" vehicles. Generic term equivalent to us saying "pickup"

[@cegentry]

acotyac not sure why I couldn’t put that together. 😜 Thanks for the first clarification!

[@insanity4224]

Spelled Ute 😉

[@cegentry]

insanity4224 yeah I figured that out 🤣

Nice job as a lot of people don’t realize that their ammonia can get out of control quickly when they liberally feed or don’t have the proper filtration to Handle their tank

[@insanity4224]

Odd group of fish!

Hallo Fischjunge, liebe Grüße aus Deutschland. Ich schaue dir sehr gerne zu, da es sehr abwechslungsreich ist. Grüße Marcello hello Fischman, greetings from Germany. I love to watch you, because it is very varied. Greetings Marcello

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thank you so much! We definitely try to keep the content fresh and interesting😊 Cam

[@ayrtonm]

Another great video :) How do you make up those hoses you use to connect to your IBC? Also do you create a siphon from the IBC to the pump before you turn it on? Thanks !

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I use cam-locks to join my hoses/pumps/IBCs. If the pump and hose is not full of water, it all primes well when you open the IBC valve so no siphoning required. Cam

[@johnbrand1893]

What happened since the Camaramans Waterbox ep3, there has been no updates on it from a year ago ? 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Hi John, unfortunately that project hasn’t gone ahead. It’s always the personal projects that suffer under our time restraints😩

[@johnbrand1893]

Gallery Aquatica TV That’s a shame, as it was informative and full of potential. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@GenieAquarist]

Nice title!

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Thanks, Harry the Cameraman came up with that one, I like it too. Cam

[@GenieAquarist]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV great work Harry!

[@Dave-mt6qe]

Do you not feel the tank needs to finish its cycle or the ammonia will spike again? I come from the belief that the cycle needs to happen and you can help speed it up with live bacteria, while dosing Prime to detoxify the ammonia/nitrite in the meantime until the bacteria colony builds up to handle it on its own and a water change only delays the bacteria propagation. You obviously have significantly more experience than myself, but that's always been my approach..bacteria and prime until ammonia/nitrite is 0, then wc and test daily to ensure no further spikes.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

The tank was fully established before it was moved and it was moved in a way that should have preserved the bacterial populations. Ammonia has been an ongoing problem since the video, and we have done a number of things to mitigate this, including adding bacteria supplements. Cam

[@Dave-mt6qe]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV oh cool, good to know! Thanks for the info and reply, my wife and I love your videos.

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

@@Dave-mt6qe Cheers, thanks for watching😊

[@sunnygoold9449]

Barramundi Cod are so nice - thanks Cam ;)

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I like them too. This one hid most of the video but apparently it comes out all the time now since the waterchange. Cam

[@TattooedDancer91]

Cam The Champ at it again! Nice video. I have an idea for a video series: Cam's SPS guide A-Z. :D

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

You’re always full of good ideas! I’ll keep it in mind, I know it would have to feature Xenia towards the end😂

[@TattooedDancer91]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV Xenia can be tough sometimes. :D But a guide from someone who benefits from keeping customers who are able to keep these coral and therefore buys them, seems like the most trustworthy guide!

[@kurthunter8940]

Do you ever take Ania out to these call out jobs?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Not really.

[@kurthunter8940]

Gallery Aquatica TV oh. Why not do a joint video?

[@Wissassin]

So is this guy just pumping water from the ocean into his ibc and than using it as a water change?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Yes.

[@ChristianBiggins]

Why 911? Why not Ammonia 000?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

Good question, I promise it’s not to appeal to a specific audience, it’s merely because it has a much better “ring” to it. Cam

[@ChristianBiggins]

@@GalleryAquaticaTV 👍

[@ChristianBiggins]

@Stephen Dobs not sure if sarcastic or not. 🤔

[@foxyrollouts]

How did you initiate the siphon to empty rhe tank.. i take it you didnt suck on the hose?

[@GalleryAquaticaTV]

I did suck on the hose. Whilst it’s not a great COVIDSafe look, I’m always careful not to share my hoses with others. Cam

[@foxyrollouts]

Cheers Cam.. i tried to suck on an old garden hose that had 3 kinks in it and been out in the sun too long.. didnt work too well. You prob could get funky and dunk that end bit somehow and start the siphon.. and get water everyehere over the carpet and furniture. If you could dunk, then cap the end till your ready... hmmm. Valve on the end...i wonder.. my S 650 is empty.. soon it will begin..my first big tank Anyway.. good excercise.. if the business fails you will have some transferable skills

[@foxyrollouts]

Hmm use a pump in the tank to get the siphon started ...

[@foxyrollouts]

I dunno.. rupture spinal discs?

[@foxyrollouts]

@Stephen Dobs dont ask me..opinions are like assholes.. everyone has one

[@Bam-Bam1]

Idk what redsea was thinking when the came out with this model. Its one ugly tank.
