Watch Day 1.5 here on Mike's channel.... It's something different and hilarious. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZnbmJqEe515b9Usi=9FKEqV6wJzu9NhGO

[@beyondfubar]

Took a year break from aquaric life to graduate, move, buy a house (big enough to go nuts on a tank!) So SO glad to see this channel pop back into my feed like magic! It feels like time to do a 125 gallon water garden!

[@AQUAPROS]

Wait till you see the final product! Fun weekend 😎

[@sixt3denied]

Gentlemen, love the channel. I'm addicted to fish and aquascaping and your channel feeds my fish fix! Keep the great videos coming.

[@shmrgle]

Never clicked on a video so fast

[@Heterogeneity]

Having friends who know you are overwhelmed and come over in person to bring you a boost of enthusiasm and lend you an extra pair of hands... That's what makes life worth living. I'm so glad community and friends are coming to your assistance Cory, you deserve the support and kindness.

[@ygermino]

great collab of the two people i am both following !!!!

[@cweber9112]

Unrelated, but I didn’t know my local fish store was affiliated with Aquarium Co-op!! Popped in there today to see some really awesome fish and have my plans for my 20 gallon set up.

[@crittergirl3647]

Friends are a blessing.

[@phreakerbythespeaker9902]

These are my favorite type of videos, maintenance, planning, and tips.

[@MaxLouthain]

thumbs up for winco branded products these days. Grocery stores being so expensive, Winco is a blessing.

[@johnlasco894]

This was really interesting because you created aquascapes which are easily doable (on a lesser scale) for the average aquarist. Plus you provide all that useful information in achieving success with your aquariums. I think we all are eagerly awaiting part 2.

[@DeepOnes420]

It's amazing how just reworking a tank to improve it's appearance can make you feel! I am so happy every time I see a new Aquarium Co-op video, it renews my interest in my own aquariums.

[@Mountain_Aquatics]

I just love watching you potter about the fish room. These videos are the best. Cheers Cory

[@legionaquatics]

This helps me keep my mind off the pain I’m feeling after a surgery I just had today, thanks for the video Cory! I’m Glad to see you making the tanks look good again, this gives me lots of ideas for my own planted tanks.

[@Fearsomehero]

I've used your website to research all types of fish to figure out what works for my set up. Thank you for all the work you put into this! Also, I love all the different stones and wood. What I would do to aquascape for you oh my Lord!

[@YTZack408]

Love the fish room vids. It gets me excited for the hobby!

[@mikejurnak4253]

Now this is a Series I can dig into 😂

[@wmw6485]

now your tanks look way better. well done!!! A nice "new" fishroom

[@NiX_aKi]

Mike is lookin good 💪🏽😎

[@kasperaquatics]

The first four tanks are absolutely amazing. Love the look ❤

[@DS-_JOCK]

Excellent , learning from Cory all the time

[@AaronLewisOfficial]

What a great idea of getting through all you aquarium scapes, looks like you guys had a blast!

[@aquapuncture]

I love all the livebearer tanks! 🥰Lookin' good 👍It's great to have aqua friends 😎

[@assiahinarkansas]

Great video and collaboration. Been waiting for these!

[@kayakcarol]

I LOVE day in the life!!!🎉🎉

[@thedude7319]

Your own personal bad luck charm, everybody needs one of those. those days are the most predictable from the entire year

[@dragonforce2247]

Pretty cool intro

[@Scaperoot79]

Very nice collab. It's great to see you somehow having the time to do this, not sure how you do it all tbh. I'm sorry to see that the algae control didn't work for you. I tested in a 20 long (skeptically) and I'm happy with the results. I haven't seen any new algae in the 6 weeks since starting. Hopefully they can make tweaks to handle bigger algae breakouts.

[@kaeliecaulfield7798]

omg!!!! what a video! Love it!

[@SimplyAquascaping]

Love it! Love the collaboration and can’t wait to see more!

[@kathrynthomas6390]

Oh man, fish tank Mike is giving me flashbacks to my time in the lab! Triple rinse with DI water! So standard!

[@michaela-be4le]

A task becomes a fun time when you're with friends 👍🏻

[@KGcichlids]

Next time the power goes out just have dorkula walk into the room and it’ll come back on

[@titanuranus2136]

Something that will clear up your algae and cloudy water is lots of plants that take nutrients from the water column, the best thing you could do is let duckweed spread to all your tanks.

[@ShrimpSanctuary]

Super amazing and it's good time to get all revamp. the feeling is really good. keep it up

[@ozlndkakalolihacku]

G’day Cory from South Australia. Have been a member for a few years and really enjoy your videos. There’s a video from an Australian channel called Keeping Fish Simple that would interest you, it’s called 82 Aquariums and Ponds in this Home / In Depth Tour. The set up and the natural look of tanks and ponds is brilliant. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@ninapoe]

Love seeing fish tank Mike!

[@reneesmith1900]

Omgosh!! LOL Katie🎉 Boys!!!!! But love 💚 Fish Tank Mike and Cory!!!!🌿🍃🐠

[@2-trueman918]

Its good to see the creation of the tanks, and to see how they’ll go in the future.

[@hellothere312]

THANK GOD!!!

[@VaAquarist]

Amazing As Always

[@Josh_Rickard]

The flow on the new sponge filter kit is insane!

[@ChucksFeeesh]

Power outages blow! I have a handful of empty soda bottles with pinholes in the bottom to use as temporary fountains for my tanks when it happens lol

[@AquariumCoop]

Don't forget to visit Mike's channel at www.youtube.com/@AQUAPROS to get his POV on all the craziness that happened during this 3-day fish room makeover!

[@MrPainOG]

2 of my favorite fish KZbinrs 🙃

[@AQUAPROS]

🥰

[@shaneevans7649]

Literally the only thing that controls algae is a lot of plants.

[@MIKoenig44]

Love this idea of scaping each tank! So organized 😊

[@Terry-lu2dr]

Why, what's, and how's. What is the reason for a water change when not needed? Did you disturb the substrate at the bottom of the tank? Did the peroxide harm the fish? What tool did you use to scrape the tanks? How many fish died during this process? Does this whole process agitate the fish?

[@jimmyreese4740]

Wow those tanks look absolutely amazing!!!

[@clydesmith1855]

Looks good gents. Love the variety of the scapes. Thank's for sharing.

[@nictennick1650]

Fish room is looking great!

[@georgeballentine1045]

Looks like fun and work

[@marcelomaeda9887]

Nice !

[@jackoghost]

lower light intensity = bigger crypts, they do absurdly well with less light / in shadow from floating plants

[@Rezzekki]

Holy frick that was the most epic intro to an Aquarium Coop video ever. Feel like I'm cozying up to watch an epic documentary on Animal Planet or something.

[@roterbarbarossa4497]

I'm very much in love with the fishroom updates :)

[@neilhughes7412]

Do you guys have a recommendation for a tank brand? Looking for around a 40 gallon for someone getting back into the hobby after 25 plus years. Thanks!

[@lisajligon]

Loving this collab ❤

[@johnnybest6386]

Cory i like the hole on the lava rock i hope u will sell them soon

[@AquariumCoop]

We sell them at our retail store. Maybe online in the future if we get a bigger warehouse

[@Jeannie.B]

Love this video! Can't wait to see the progression ☺️

[@kmhmusic123]

Thanks for the content, love the videos, there’s something very relaxing about these

[@jeromehorn7333]

Where do you get your purple jade rock? I can find any online.

[@ronaldkozlowski4498]

I like the spiffy new intro.👍😊🐸

[@steveraeburn7787]

Doesn't the peroxide hurt the fish/ plants? I'm really struggling with blackbeard algae and searching for something to help control it.

[@arnam3282]

What I really want to know is where I can get those huge lava rocks with holes.

[@bananafloat27]

The sexiest fishtuber and the smartest one in one video. I'll let you decide who is who

[@AquariumCoop]

Mike does have his masters degree…

[@NACHO_-LIBRE]

Let’s go

[@jordandokolas2374]

I was curious what the update was on the green water labs testing...dissappointed but not surprised the magic algae quick fix doesnt work lol

[@ryangeyer3110]

Hope u see this! I just got your 100 watt heater and im liking it. Will you be making a 200 watt or higher soon?

[@AquariumCoop]

No plans to make larger than 100 watt. You can simply use 2x 100 watt and it’s safer that way.

[@ryangeyer3110]

@AquariumCoop I am using 2 for my 75 gallon. Thank you for getting back to me . I didn't think u were but was curious. It's definitely the nicest design I've seen, btw especially since I don't have to put my hands in the tank to change !

[@AbbyBane.]

Hey Cory, do you flush the tanks with peroxide extra? The peroxide doesn't hurt the fish or reg plants?

[@AquariumCoop]

Peroxide hurt the lotus a bit. I don’t flush them extra. Hydrogen peroxide basically reacts into oxygen when it’s done.

[@AbbyBane.]

@@AquariumCoop are there any benefits to treat fish with it? Like how we can salt dip with supervision

[@-AndrewR]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@IRISnGEN]

Can the peroxide spray trick work on blackbeard algae?

[@AquariumCoop]

It does from me. Turns pink they grayish clear over a couple days.

[@IRISnGEN]

@@AquariumCoop Thanks Corey. I'll give it a shot.

[@CoreySharpRE]

And it's totally safe for the fish when you refill the aquarium? You dont have to rinse the plants or rocks off?

[@zerokind5839]

On the next episode - we swap all 40g breeders for 60g breeders

[@nabokovfan87]

The best kind of videos... Let's just work on tanks and enjoy the hobby together.

[@TheCottonman]

I wish I had friends who were into fish keeping and actually had tanks... I can't think of a more fun day then just doing fish stuff all day on so many tanks... I'm seriously jealous... We don't even have fish clubs here in South Texas...

[@shineOn_75]

A perfect opportunity to create your own fish club. You never know who might come out of the woodworks. A chance at making new friends who are hobbyists whom you may not have met otherwise. ✌️💦🐠🫧

[@shesellsfish]

👍❤️👍

[@chandlerwalker7086]

What tank size are those

[@mattgray9297]

40 breeders along the wall

[@Car0linaPh03nix]

Does that mean we're getting Ep 132 tomorrow!?

[@AquariumCoop]

Kind of, mikes video drops today. Then my video on Tuesday again and then Friday again

[@Tang526]

No do them all
