Changes Everywhere - Episode 297

[@ZenCoryCat]

I'm so glad to hear that Irene is feeling a bit better and will be coming back to YT. She was a big influence on me getting my first aquarium last November. ❤

[@loneWOLF11688]

She got me into live bearers like the platties, mollies, and guppies. And was the first channel I followed when I got my tank set up 😂🥰 taught me about keeping cherry shrimp too ❤

[@StoneAquatics]

She was my favorite KZbinr 😅

[@missyoreilly4815]

Same. Plus I love to see women in this hobby, it always irks me that there’s so few compared to dudes.

[@walterhubrich1825]

Thanks Cory for your time to do this video. Caught the replay sat 7ish pm. Like the cap (that cap) . Look into for retail? I would get one. Thanks again Walter

[@loneWOLF11688]

Good to hear Irene is still active ❤❤❤

I had an older Easy Green pump head stop working, I never Used to shut it off after each use, but watching you videos, I soaked it in water, now it works again, now I shut it off after I use it and haven't had a problem since, I love the one pump per 10 gallons

[@mansingw]

Thanks for answering questions about the Brine Shrimp sale and the Buce Kedagang. I saw the Kadagang was back in stock, so I've placed an order for those two and more.

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

Good...! I've always liked the API style caps...! Definitely make that change, the pump heads are garbage and I throw away immediately when opening...!!! Thanks for sharing... Keep up y'alls awesomeness...!

[@urbansk8r231]

Hello mate, from Sydney Australia. I really enjoy this type of videos with a mix bag of topics. one question, you said keep nitrates from fertilizer between 20ppm-40ppm range. I have 17g co2 tank. I use api master test kit and I also have your test strips I bought off Ebay. •How soon do I test after adding fertilizer? Thankyou

[@GayleJoiner-k6k]

Maybe you should make some exploration trips to Kentucky & parts South with Chris Lukhaup (sp?) during your next visit to the warehouse. Grew up in Hopkinsville & spent much of my childhood turning over rocks in little creeks & streams. Watch out for the Cottonmouths!

[@RyanRoux]

My java fern seems to be doing much better since I started adding ACO brine shrimp salt to my aquariums during water changes. I've always struggled with my java fern until I started doing this. In fact, I get very few plantlets now, which I understand is a sign that the plant is doing well.

[@tygereyes]

Great Question & Video

People who make suggestions like walk in appointments have usually never worked in customer service . At my job , we’re supposed to set up appointments with new customers . I can count with my fingers the number of times people have actually shown up on time . If I’m lucky they show a couple hours late . But, a couple DAYS late isn’t unusual, while they dodge my calls . Unless it starts to hold back your business , you’re smart to keep things as simple as possible . Fewer cogs, fewer problems

[@bromine256]

Thank you Cory!

I work for a municipality, very familiar with the codes application process. For years I’ve wanted to start a business assisting people with permit applications and escrow fund recovery. The permit application process is so much more simple than most municipalities can explain.

[@MWilk098]

I love the pump heads on the fertilizer bottles. Would be a shame to lose that.

[@Jesse-STL]

Light mounts to raise the lights - I really want them for growing plants out of the water. Your light is so strong I can get a better spread and grow a ton more under it if I could elevate 6-10 inches.

[@Jesse-STL]

Elevating the lights would also allow me to use shorter (read: cheaper) lights on smaller tanks, like 10 gallons where a 20" light is way overkill but no other way to get a good spread. Basically I would buy more of your lights. Sure, I can probably rig something up, or hang the lights, but I'd love a Co-Op product that's meant for the job, they always work better.

[@gardenstategoldfish698]

Hope to get an answer but understand if i dont. I definitely prefer to listen on podcast versus youtube because youtube doesnt allow me to listen with the phone screen off. Does it help you more to watch on youtube or apple podcast? I want to benefit you as much as possible but when moving around my pocket frequently clicks adds, other videos, so youtube creates a lot of "errors" while podcasting is error free. But id prefer to deal with errors if it helps you more.

[@AquariumCoop]

Technically KZbin helps more. But honestly, do what works well for you. If you ever purchase from us that'll do more than the ad revenue ever will ;) Mostly it's about entertaining the hobby and keeping people passionate about their escape into nature.

[@staceyhart7827]

Great video I hate I missed the live enjoy the rest of the week

[@loneWOLF11688]

Glad to tune in from Daytona Beach, Florida 🤓😏 #GOAT

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

My oldest tank has been continuously setup since the early to mid-90s... 1993ish...!!!

[@dkshadowwolf6394]

Is the retail currently open for business? I will be in Washington the 2nd Week in June and was excited about visiting the store.

[@AquariumCoop]

Yes, our retail store is open daily, it's just the expansion that isn't open.

[@Miykael0]

Hey Cory, are there any plans on restocking the Easy Carbon on the store?

[@AquariumCoop]

We plan to use, we just can't sell it again until we get some paperwork submitted.

[@AVworld.]

31:27 whattt?😮

[@paulakreinberg1448]

Long grass? Sounds like you need MINI GOATS!!!😄

[@LisaTheWulf]

I also have a well. How did you figure out what minerals were higher for your well water, @aquariumcoop?

[@milekh6681]

A water sample? 😒

[@AquariumCoop]

Test your tap water, you can send your water in for testing as well.

[@LisaTheWulf]

I’ll have to find our water inspection report from when we moved in. Would rather spend the $300 on ACO lights and dans fish thanks foror the mid week stream!

[@LisaTheWulf]

And apparently blueberry snails 😂

[@ZenCoryCat]

@@LisaTheWulf I'm looking for some blueberry snails.

[@kayakcarol]

Cory, I think someone in permitting is actually a rival of yours and doesn't want your expansion to happen 😉

[@psychedelichippocampus6226]

Use a drive up window. Open 2 days a week. Use 3 days a week filling orders. 1 employee

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

"I wanna see poop!" #SST That's gotta be a sticker, or shirt, or something...!!!!!

[@kurtisstutzman7056]

I'm sure you've realized throughout your permitting processes that common sense is a thing of the past...!!! I really miss a society with common sense and common courtesy for others...!!! Anyone remember the 80s...? The last decade when both were still alive...

[@katherinep1010]

Man, I broke 3 pump heads in a row and then just quit using it for future bottles.

[@AquariumCoop]

That's so strange that we can't replicate that.

[@kayakcarol]

Mind boggling, I've never had one break.

[@kayakcarol]

OH NO! You're thinking about no longer having a pump on Easy Green?? I love the pump so much I use empty Easy Green bottles to dispense additives to my reef tank.

[@sarahbrandt8065]

if they do end up doing this, save the pump heads from your old bottles to reuse on the new ones!
