He just said a goby was smiling😂😂😂 they’re like the most grumpy fish ever

[@jayl5505]

It sure looks like a mean mug... lol

[@beaveresque9404]

It's almost like that's the joke.

[@jayl5505]

Bingo :)

[@kireshshrestha1787]

I have had a fresh water tank for few years in the past, took some break and now I got interested in getting a saltwater tank, I was not sure how or which and what to do, been researching for a while now. when I saw this video, MAN I gotta admit it is so well explained and how to set up a first Marine tank, I am definitely buying this Today. thanks For the video @Big AL BTW if I have any question I am definitely commenting and asking for your Help/advice

[@abielmanchego2270]

I love that saltwater aquarium 🐟🐟👍💖

[@jayl5505]

It's a very cool AIO system :)

[@oxygenprovider4306]

Looks amazing I'm always amazed by the pistol shrimp

[@jayl5505]

It is a very cool invert that shows a great symbiotic relationship with gobies.

[@pauldeacon5615]

Hi!! I love the video & I find it really helpful because I have the exact same Fluval tank arriving on Wednesday !! 😁

[@raulmedina6223]

Awesome review and content, keep it up

[@jayl5505]

Thank you Raul Medina! :)

[@AngellusBlack]

Makes sense that Josh would be a water-type trainer.

[@jayl5505]

:)

[@BigDsmoke]

Just now saw this video & its perfect as I was thinking about trying 1 of these! Good review Thank You!!

[@jurmx8636]

I’m using DRY ROCK *puts live rock in

[@THunt-ss4hy]

I bought the caribsea life rock shapes before. If you break a piece in half you’ll see it’s half aragonite and half cement

[@TomWard_672]

Great video! How many Kilograms of live Sand did you add to the tank?

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

thank you for sharing the new Fluval Aquarium with all of us watching, it is truly appreciated. Gave the video a like. It is a nice looking aquarium.

[@pattack7]

Ultimate Fishkeeping Show Fluval evo isn’t new, been out well over 2 years now

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I thought it was new, as I had never seen it before, sorry.

[@jayl5505]

The kit isn't new but the video is :)

[@ultimatefishkeeping]

O.K. sorry, I thought it was as I had never seen it before. Anyhow, I like it none the less. Thank you for sharing, gave the vid a like.

[@jayl5505]

Thank you Ultimate Fishkeeping Show and no need to apologize :)

[@CloudDayLight]

I'm regretting not buying an aio tank I literally might upgrade to one when I have the time and money

[@BestIeverhadisyou]

Can you use this for freshwater too?

[@DevonThomas1204]

AquaFiish yes

[@joaquinruedavi5991]

So im not seeing anything that would make this only for salt water. Anyone use it for freshwater?

[@onetimer-my2qs]

do you have a video on how much and what additives to add to tank? with corals and fish?

[@pattack7]

So no talk of a heater? That be pretty important right at the start of starting a tank...

[@BigAlsVOD]

We have an upcoming video about how to customize the EVO 13.5- including adding a heater! Stay tuned!

[@pattack7]

Big Al's but that’s stupid..having a heater is a basic necessity for starting a system not an upgrade to a system...your setting someone up to fail...we need Thomas back at least he shared information and was fun about it..this new guy sucks and is trying to hard..lost a viewer

[@pattack7]

Makes sense why Thomas left big al’s

[@jayl5505]

The kit was setup with what it comes with. Heating will be covered in the next Evo video :)

[@jayl5505]

I am sorry to hear that :(

[@silverice3166]

Is the biomax required or can I use just the carbon?

[@RCMrtnz]

Yea buddy!

[@jayl5505]

RCMrtnz, glad to see you back. Hope you had a great trip in Cali and can't wait to see more of your vids!

[@barryhutchinson3977]

Honeycomb design is nice, but it's going to come off, gradually.

[@jayl5505]

If you clean periodically, it shouldn't peel off but if you allow salt creep to accumulate it wont last long.

[@beaveresque9404]

If it's like the Spec V, the honeycomb is on the outside. It's also bonded on there very well; I've had my Spec V for a couple years now and it still looks like new.

[@barryhutchinson3977]

First mistake I made was to use masking tape when I was spray painting the back glass black. Part of it rested on the honeycomb on the side and it came off with the masking tape when I removed it. That isn't much as a problem as it is hidden by the things I have mounted on the tank. The design on the Spec V is etched in, not stuck on, unless yours is an earlier version. Unfortunately on the front glass, it is coming off, about 5 1/2" in width already gone, and that is an area which does not get salt creep, and I keep the glass very clean. Had the aquarium for 8 1/2 months and all this started to happen within the last 4. I will eventually scrape it off. It's not looking that bad, yet.

[@jayl5505]

My coworker scraped it off and it still looks good, but I'm going to keep mine until it is necessary.

[@christianz344]

No heater?

[@marinefalcon8996]

Is it necessary to buy the protein skimmer?

[@straya_tuff_streetrz]

can i use this for fresh water ???

[@jr8688]

Awesome review!

[@BigAlsVOD]

Thanks!

[@jayl5505]

Thank you Jr Flores!

[@claudiadavies8786]

Nice

[@benguinentertainment]

Does the skimmer actually work

[@josephg.8919]

Is it glass or or acrylic?

[@aaronreed5656]

How can you tell if it’s cycled

[@harryt988]

You really glazed over quite a few important points didn’t you ?!

[@NolaR1]

Can I get a discount code????🙏🏻

[@MrSharkBuster]

Very nice 👌🏻 i wish i had a saltwater aquarium, too bad its so expensive.. P.S. who is יהושע?

[@BigAlsVOD]

The kit itself is actually REALLY affordable!

[@MrSharkBuster]

Not in israel

[@jayl5505]

Do I hear a budget saltwater system in the works?

[@MrSharkBuster]

Josh L Make a video about aquarium on a budget

[@jayl5505]

I will work on that :)

[@lucasbaluyut5746]

You can keep most lps in this

[@DavidC5771]

Question, what is the reason reason for such a thick substrate bed?

[@bluemartian9]

potentially more stability in water parameters/more surface area for bacteria

[@jayl5505]

Hi David, I am a big fan of deep sand beds. There are pros and cons with having a deep sand bed, but more will be revealed in our #ProjectEvo series

[@ryeellz9967]

Is that light even good enougj?

[@NordAquarium]

👌👌👌👍👍☺

[@jjaquariums]

Hey I love Josh but we gotta admit miss that sexy man Thomas... but Thomas is moving rn so Josh will do 😂😂 #alljokes

[@jayl5505]

Ha haa, thank you :) He is working on new content :)

[@TammerGammer]

7th comment i love the pistol shrimp

[@BigAlsVOD]

He’s awesome, right?!?

[@jayl5505]

Very cool like a mini bull dozer.

[@TammerGammer]

Josh L yes

[@ph4rohhumuli]

Can I put a small lionfish in it?

[@allysonb210]

Seems way to small.

[@g.martin4509]

If I buy this tank... can I use it as fresh water

[@sgtstoner6749]

Sure you can buddy. Filtration is pretty much the same concept... and do your water changes and you'll be fine

[@ericdanielnavarromercado3371]

Necesita skimer

[@ethancollins0309]

What happened to Thomas?

[@ethancollins0309]

Thomas B thank goodness Im gonna go subscribe to your next channel.

[@ethancollins0309]

Thomas B no prob man

[@Alan-ii9lm]

Does it come with a heater???

[@mikesbigtank6015]

No.

[@andyolivan6713]

13.5, looks like a 10g tank

[@terrimiller908]

Needs a better pump

[@jayl5505]

Stay tuned for the next video!

[@outsidethepyramid]

there's too much sand in there

[@electroskills6201]

Eecond

[@BigAlsVOD]

Good effort ! :)

[@jayl5505]

Next time :)

[@keelanbrannan1622]

Can you keep an octopus in this tank?

[@katherinequiroz9869]

Keelan Brannan that is a no go.

[@joshlain88]

Not recommended.

[@bluemartian9]

heck no

[@BigAlsVOD]

Keelan Brannan, As cool as it would look and octopus would not be a good choice for the EVO.

[@hunteraquatics1257]

Live in a closet they need big tanks they get very big just cause you buy them small at a pet shop doesn’t mean they say that size kind a like goldfish
