Bring in Dave and Quintin for more build videos. They are great! 👍 Also looking foreward to see the the room up and running

[@jamesjamesnet]

Didn't think watching a shop build would be such fun, Dave is the best.

[@kazdaspaz6544]

Dave and Quintin got you on the tools Nick! Glad to see it xD. Awesome seeing the new and improved fish room / store final start coming together.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks so much bro. Can’t wait to see you in store

[@kazdaspaz6544]

[@Kaityscichlids]

Omg this footage is hilarious 🤣I definitely vote for more Dave and Quintin in future videos. It looks like a really well thought out design, I can't wait for more updates 😊

[@ReefBuildersVideo]

Drilling a few tanks by hand is one thing, but you really should consider borrowing/renting a drill press for drilling up to 100 glass boxes

[@danhard8440]

got to love the old salty Aussie guys they are a breed unto themselves lol

[@Maggie19701]

I need an aquarium stand my husbands always used wood.It’s stronger than people think if done properly he always makes the stand look like piece of furniture the drawers on the bottom and beautiful doors lucky to have a guy around it helps me increase my hobby so glad that you’re able to go from Young man feeding a few fish to a professional.Very few people can work with something that has passion in their life congratulations and may God bless you and your endeavors don’t forget to say hi to Dave and Quincy Michigan Margie B

[@devinisgay8535]

Man’s out here living my dream. It’s so cool watching your hobby turn into your profession, I wish the best of luck to you and your endeavors.

[@danhard8440]

at 9:48 wow amazing !! job of nailing that lol

[@danhard8440]

fyi for the footers under the stands maybe try plastic you can buy any thickness and hardness you want it works in any environment if you nail from the top down into it you wont get ANY corroding and they will last forever

[@alrawi5308]

Dave and Quintin are gems, and the fish room looks excellent.

[@stevelogan6706]

So great to have seen you slowly build from a small room in a house to a garage to a whole industrial unit! Super keen to see what you turn this into!

[@tomgentile4850]

it is so nice knowing a woods crafts man. When i needed a new 40 gallon stand i didnt buy one my papas cranked one out in 2 days. nice to see you have help

[@jueadeo8843]

This is one of the best videos that you've made! Had many laughs and was smiling throughout the whole video. Thank you!

[@mikecirrincione9895]

Just a suggestion for drilling the tanks. If you can get a drill press instead of using a hand drill. It will enable you to make repeatable perpendicular holes without the side to side motion and inconsistent down ward pressure of the hand held drill. Also if you use this set up you could use a water pump to have a constant flow of water onto place you are drilling. It is like drilling tile or concert. Ask Dave and Quintin what they think. Good luck on your new fish room, and keep the vids rolling as I am enjoying your content!

[@usaaddicts9346]

Use an end cap for protection of the wood. Much more clean looking then a brick. And more stable. It’s still the wood that takes the force and not transfer to the brick.

[@Mrs.Dreadfulbliss]

The older gentleman where freaking hilarious 😆😂 ❤. congrats on the new space!

[@VirginiaBronson]

This was awesome - absolutely hilarious. Congratulations on all the progress!!

[@lakeshiamills1454]

Please put Dave in the next video! I loved watching him 😅 reminds me of my grandpa before he passed. We cursed our way through a lot of projects

[@MsKhaeli]

Thumbs up for Dave, BIG internet sensation :D Seriously though loving the progress. I am super jealous.

[@benc3214]

Worked with blokes like Dave & Quinton on building sites before, they just make your day better legends.

[@Maggie19701]

Very kind of you I think giving quaint or a little more than 40 years old very proud of two men of course everyone’s proud of you pretty soon you’ll see your master fish breeder like they do Dean in Washington You have a lot of people following you and I’ve just joined and I can tell you I subscribed

[@AquaMalik]

brooo super cool!!!! love it and they won't rock once the tanks are on the stands!!! already looking awesome mate!!! looking forward to more videos and updates!!!

[@nj8604]

Hey Champ!!! I'm a relatively new subscriber...but watching your journey....dude I hope you realise that you are one of those people in life that can change the world. I have shared your journey with my kids....as an example that passion can make change.....keep up the good work....please don't follow your dream....look beyond that and show others how to create the reality at their finger tips!!

There's something about good old lads working hard with great back and forth conversation. It's really great stuff. The project is looking fantastic! I'm really happy for you.

[@aikiemarais6676]

Super! I like the idea of "Street Inspector Apertures" in the wall. You would not believe people will make use of it. Nice videos, keep it up!

[@wilsonyip5826]

多謝！

[@gustavogarcia1948]

Just a suggestion, for drilling your tanks, use blue painter's tape on the side that you will be drilling and put the piece of wood on the opposite side. By putting the wood on the opposite side, it will help with providing opposing pressure and not allow the glass to break while drilling. Thanks for the video!!

[@TimsFishShop]

Dude, this is awesome! Been watching you for awhile and crazy how far and fast you have stood up a larger business! Awesome work! Cheers from WA state

[@davidtse8041]

Amazing progress! Can't wait to see what's next. The video Nailed it

[@pip5461]

Well done kidda... :) A big step, but you've done your homework... follow your dream and success will follow you...!

[@jackolantern1028]

I can see Dave and Quentin in their own sitcom. Awesome to see the shop coming together!

[@cybertrouts1]

Absolute ripper video of some ripper blokes. Comedy gold!

[@steveberry1812]

Congrats on starting the build. Looking awesome. Tip for drilling your tanks, if you put your drill clutch on maximum (you can stop it easily) while drilling the tanks, you're less likely to crack the tank if the core bit catches. I've done heaps of tanks and not cracked one yet (knocks on wood). Ps Dave's a legend. Good luck on the build and look forward to seeing the finished product.

[@skyshamen153]

Really hoping for more future updates on the new fish room 😍😍

[@ilaafarm]

This video is like bruise Will's " RED" movie 😁 . old people still work like young one ..hats off to them👍👍👏👏

In just one video Dave is a OVERNIGHT SENSATION! Mike from New Jersey in the states is a Dave fan! 😁…Great video, loved seeing the whole process. All that hard work will pay off 💪👊….De de de That’s it folks!

[@-SWE-StarLord]

Nice place, a dream. One question, by that stand construction wouldn't all of the weight from the aquarium be on that one bolt which support the horisontal beam?

[@Anthony69420]

Ahhh dude its great to see someone actually taking an idea and seeing it through to this stage. Dope

[@joanneparkinson7899]

Great Job, well done can't wait to see the finish Shop.. Oh & this is for Dave.❤👍

[@gwcrispi]

So I'm looking at those wood racks for the tanks. Basically all of the weight of the water is on the nails that are holding the 2x4s to the side of the uprights. I'm not sold on the structural integrity of that setup.

[@Gettingzzz]

The way they framed the racks is the same way a house is framed. If it can keep a roof over your head and millions of Australians, it can hold up some aquariums. These are actually over engineered and also nailed into the concrete with a 0.22 caliber nail gun. She’ll be right

[@stevechamberlain570]

@@Gettingzzz much more weight per square inch on those racks vs a roof. The racks are definitely not over engineered. And the racks being spiked into the floor does nothing for holding up the weight.

[@Gettingzzz]

@@stevechamberlain570 good opinion. Lol. They did a great job. Racks won’t shift while adding tanks/water/northern Australian weather events.

[@stevechamberlain570]

@@Gettingzzz it is a good opinion indeed because I might actually know a thing or 2 about structural integrity and load bearing points I myself work in construction so I need to know things like this...

You could use heat shrink wrap around the bottom on the wood to make it water resistant

At their age? They're probably 40 🤣 it's a tough life being a tradie

[@IceLibraYT]

i like these honest and not exaggerated vids very much

[@markabrahams3263]

When putting the stands on bricks, keep in mind that bricks absorb water too so I would add a piece of damp proof course (DPC) to the top of the brick (that's what I do anyway)

[@je1902]

Such a great video! It made my gloomy day a whole lot better. Thank you.

[@whitehead414]

Great video and i must admit wood looks better for the racking. I have wooden racks in my fishroom painted with a water based black paint. Keep up with the good work i look forward to seeing the progress videos.

Dave and Quintin are class 😂 real old school builders with great banter and clearly they don’t have interest in wearing safety gear…just with getting on with the job, they’re just like my dad, he only has one eye 👁 and he still won’t protect the only one he has🤣.

[@Nanoscape30]

Don't forget to put some dope couches in the fishroom that's a must! Viewing the tanks is most important'e!

[@Nanoscape30]

Bro you should start up a big birchir tank, with like delhizi's, endi's, orinates, or something evern cooler, weeksi [ fat heads ] marbled birchirs, or the Holy Grail of birchirs Tugelsi's & palmas and raise them with a Giant gourmai, that would be so dope to raise a Giant Gourami in your fish room, there so cool 😎 it would be like king of the fishroom, they grow so fast! You could feed him spinach with a spoon 🥄 lol 😆 I love your treated wood, should last you a long time, very satisfying to watch you put them together

[@petermiller7270]

hey mate that doesn't look like it would have enough strength to hold the larger tanks. I'd add extra vertical timbers from the horizontals that the tanks will sit on, down the side to the ground. so that way the load is sitting on the ground and not just hanging off nails or bolts.

[@nedsfishtips]

Oh my got this is hilarious, can’t wait to see it all finished and done! I’ve been with you since 30k! And it’s amazing how far you have come, I think I speak for everyone when I say you are our #1 fish-KZbinr! Keep it up Nick!
