[@tomfish1312]

I hate the people that dislike that video, so much effort to make that kind of video. Your daughter is lucky to have father and mom like you. Much respect

[@yumafrank563]

Ahahahahaha! I had to laugh when the water came out the pipe you drained.

[@lorihilton3146]

That UV system is sweet!

[@bigfish3162]

Had to have u be my 3rd ch. I’m subscribing to. Coming from predatory fins ch. to show some love n respect.

[@LetsFish21]

Lol fail Kevin! The pipe outsmarted you 😂

[@elardofleming1166]

Love your channel and you are very educational even a beginner can follow ur directions and learn allot from u great job to you and you fam

[@boges11]

I would've done a bead of silicone over the top as an added safety measure, and done all the other seams while you had them apart. Do you think the UV could've broken down a weak point in the PVC?

[@mr.b1056]

Something so small can cause a big problem. Thanks for the share.

[@kristinajofish8209]

Ur daughter is so cute n nice helping you

Doesn’t UV light slowly break down pvc Which could be the reason for the leak

[@StingrayBiology]

It makes it brittle

[@andrewwoodward9165]

Yes, the uv light does weaken the pvc/plastic casing of the uv filter light. (2:56 am, after finding my 4ft tank in my bedroom was leaking. The side of the uv filter casing had gone soft. Thank God my wife is away for 3 more days!)

Just showing some love for your channel ✌✌✌✌

[@jerzydaineguy5171]

hey Kevin love your vids and how meticulous you are...I am the same. Any reason you didn't use tape or any sealer on the "unions" when you put the UV back into place? That was SO sad when the water came out of the front pipe when you had drained it into the bag and were doing the back...lol It seemed so unfair! ;)

[@StingrayBiology]

No need the union has rubber gasket

[@stuartcook4295]

I like your style Kevin,if a jobs worth doing do it right.My OCD would bother me forever with an untidy fix.

[@rishikeshhinge5438]

Show us how you built the uv unit

[@leighsheltonnoseypottercom]

good thinking Kevin

[@fskhankhan6155]

Thanks for putting up this video. Did you paint the inner side of PVC pipe with some type of flourescent acrylic paint. I see the glow. If yes what type of paint you used?

[@jonandlisa2000]

Great video 👍

[@commercialelectrician133]

Great video great set up

[@michaellopez1599]

That's kryptonite

[@joelavilez2645]

Bro why’d you scare her like that lol

[@philcavallini9657]

Why did u not go with the xtra stong clear cement ?

[@jemmalvar1719]

Where did you buy your UV unit? Or did you DIY? I’m in need of 200+ watt unit for my hatchery.

[@braveheartreefer525]

Nice job Kevin UV glowing like a nuclear reactor

[@nyrob420]

I definitely would have used PVC primer first. But I notice you never do use primer. Is there a reason you don't?

[@variegated_stingray]

I've used a ton of PVC over the last 10+ years of being in the hobby and never used PVC primer. Never had a single leak... ever.

[@nyrob420]

@@variegated_stingray I do HVAC for a living and I always use primer just so I know I don't have to come back to a job because of a leak.

[@StingrayBiology]

It is good practice to use primer. It softens the pvc so the glue can work better. But to be totally honest... it's my ocd that stops me from using primer. I hate the purple ring it leaves. I like everything looking clean and clear. Lol..

[@adamblack7316]

How many watts are each bulb? Or should I say per unit?

[@StingrayBiology]

Each unit is 264 watts

[@joshuagrieco2797]

For some reason I really think sanding it would have been a really good idea before you put the glue on the uv

[@StingrayBiology]

I did. And filed down the old glue on the surface.

[@D.W.G.]

Last night I had a full 50 gallon tank full of water (no fish) cracked and flooded the floor Fun times

[@dougsotto9825]

You put the fear of god in your daughter!
