HOW AQUARIUMS ARE MADE

[@thekingofdiy]

How an aquarium is made! Today, i give a world exclusive, behind the scenes look at how custom aquariums build their fish tanks. Check them out here: customaquariums.com

[@TheRealrXgh]

The king of DIY hi

[@Tengu3000]

Thanks Joey looking been particularly forward to watching this one

[@d1antz]

Joey, this was one of your more concise and informational videos - well done!

[@thekingofdiy]

Only took 48 hrs of travel. 2 hrs to film. 4 hrs to edit. I used to do these all the time. BUT im in the middle of the largest project of my life. Not exactly a lot of spare time right now. I'll be back to normal soon enough.

[@TheRealrXgh]

The king of DIY joey what is nice and easy to keep and cheap fish

[@dishantdeepak6976]

Hey Joey! I hope you can pass on this message to Custom Aquariums: Being in a service field we hope to be as transparent with our customers as possible. Seeing someone work so transparently and ethically has been a real pleasure! It really helps to bond with the customers on a personal level! Lots of love to you and Custom Aquariums!

[@anthonysmalawipredators8794]

this was so soothing to watch for some reason lol. very unique process they allowed you to capture and big thanks for sharing it with us :)

[@roshnirumi6858]

interesting and very well narrated 👍

[@thekingofdiy]

I figured since i knew how to build them, i knew what to film and how to explain it. ;)

[@eezeegeezaa]

Don't mean to brown noes but this channel is hands down the best hobbyist channel. I will be getting back into the hobby. Thanks for giving me the confidence to try again but now armed with an arsenal of your tutorials to fall back on. Still deciding on setup but not too long now hopefully. Have a blessed day dude🖒

[@Seanmmvi]

I thought the little rubber risers to be most surprising! That is very interesting!

[@samuelcasey4808]

Man these new episodes of How It's Made are a completely different than how they used to do them. :P

[@richardfaccio4291]

Samuel Casey I know I kinda like the Canadian narrator better and

[@thekneethief3288]

My only scale baby right now is my betta Apollo Justice, but he's part of the family. My mother calls herself his grandmother and checks in on him every day, and feeds him sometimes. She helped me get the ten galleon for him too. It's great to see another Canadian fish keeper who really loves their fish. Hello from Alberta!

[@astleyfam]

It's a real shame that there is some sad lonely individuals that take time out of their own time to click on your videos and dislike them. Don't let haters get to you. Your content is amazing.

[@rickyyang3357]

ASTLEYFAM Seb & Kieran likes or dislikes give any video traffic. better if they didnt do anything at all. Lol

[@lelanidixon7941]

Wow, laid back Joey the narrator. lol I loved the video, very educational. I appreciated being brought into the back end of the process. You can really tell the difference in quality to some of the cheap versions found in chain pet stores. Great product.

[@pietu87]

What kind of tool were used to finish the inside seam? I think Joey should make a tutorial video about finishing silicone seams with "seam tool" and with different glass thicknesses. I think seam appearance is a very important matter with overall look of an aquarium.

[@mel_boogie23]

That's awesome of them letting you share the experience! Very interesting process.

[@SansaStarkofWinterfell]

So wonderful to see how they make their aquariums. Their tank at the end was gorgeous!

[@KingofCandlesticks]

Just want to throw support behind a king of DIY patreon account! I'd happily invest money into both these videos and the aquarium gallery, you've helped me SO much with the hobby.

[@khamteh29]

Beautiful! Just one question though, did they leave the spacers intact or had a special way of removing them?

[@motoxposse]

Joey when they add the glass spacers for the silicone to get between the panes do they stay in the seam or do they come out at some point

[@carver2667]

love the video....what thickness was the glass for the tank and do they remove the spacers or are the spacers silicone in place ???

[@tinabloomfield7228]

This was so awesome to see!!! Thank you Custom Aquariums for allowing us to visit, and thank you to the king of DIY for sharing this with us.

[@mdshahnewazuddin6206]

Hey mate. Did they take out the silicon spacer out while putting the silicone sealant or they just left it with the silicone? Thanks.

[@racheldillard8000]

This video was awesome! You have really inspired me to keep my own fish! You are doing such a great job and I love watching every video.

[@shopaquariumfish]

Hey Joey...What do they do with the little clear discs? Do they leave them and silicon around them or remove them some how?

[@texasatrox]

Outstanding my friend. Well done and they just gained a fan! Keep up your good work. I know it's a full time job with plenty of overtime! You are gifted and have a creative and unique way with your video productions. I find it very enjoyable. Oh, and Howdy from Central Texas!

[@PtitBebelapinoublanc]

this was fascinating. I always like watching how things are made. Thank you for sharing and thank you to the company for allowing you to film this.

[@dartist64]

Thanks Joey. Love the attention to detail and the whole facility that Custom Aquariums has. One day I would like to get a very large aquarium or two from this company.

[@TK_1252]

Really impressive. I just got a new hand made aquarium some weeks ago and it is cool to see how those are actually made. Thanks to you and Custom Aquariums!

[@5StarRN]

That video was really well done and super informative as well as interesting. I can't wait to try out some of these techniques myself.

[@RachelOLeary]

really well done Joey

[@daverice2531]

So do they leave the silicone spacers in while they're injecting the silicone? Are the silicone spacers made of silicone and what size are they or what is the spacing between panes of glass?

[@pitahe]

Damn! That was awesome, thank you for asking, we're all grateful and excited to get a custom tank made by them. Enjoyed the music too, reminded me of Mr. Rodger's when they'd show how things were made haha. Kudos again for the video. I must admit it got me excited for the gallery even more!

[@danny.sbill.05]

hi joey i really love your channel and wanted to thank you for doing all of this and getting me into the hobby. good luck for the future :)

[@deepblue5939]

Great vid!! Love the behind the curtain look at the tanks!

[@torjones1701]

REMOVABLE Bracing? BRILLIANT!!! (makes you wonder why more companies don't do that!) Nice tour of the factory! Thanks Joey! :)

[@thekingofdiy]

Because most are more worried about mass production and bottom line.

[@graphite2786]

Wow the aquarium industry has certainly come far, I've got some totally ancient aquariums from the 1950's that are iron framed and putty sealed. My grandfather made them and they are still watertight and serviceable.

[@huggybear1652]

Interesting how techniques have changed over the years. Front and rear panels used to sit in front of the base, with side panels sitting on top (hear in the UK anyway!). Great video Joey, thank you.

[@RiverRatRory]

Hi Joey, great tour, so interesting! Do they leave the silicone bumpers in and let the silicone dry around them? Or take them out as they progress? Thx again for the great videos.

[@danfmartin1970]

curious to know as well.

[@juniorlewis9173]

Wow! I always thought about building an aquarium for myself but never knew that there were so many technicalities involved. Thank you and the aquarium company to impart such knowledge with the world 🌍. You certainly earned my Like and Subscription. My only regret is that KZbin don't allow me more than one likes per video :)

[@BatmandaHawkins]

having Joey film you while you build aquariums must be nerve racking but they did such a great job regardless. true professionals!

[@thekingofdiy]

Its not easy with the cam on you, knowing this many people will see it! Tons of people think they can do what i do but have no clue what kind of pressure is really on you with the camera. I dont mind it now a days, but it used to be hard on me.

[@ChrisKloetstra]

So cool. Thanks Joey for the tour. Such a cool facility!

[@brokebudgetaquariums6934]

Amazing video and amazing building company. Most definitely going to look into them for my frag system. Thanks joey!

[@andrewthomas1249]

Thank you for giving us behind the scenes, Joey!

[@TheFishNerd]

Great video about a solid company. A cameo from Ted Judy would have made it even better. :)

[@BenOchart]

Found this VERY interesting. Thanks!

[@vaibhavkamath2885]

joey so u really did listen to me like i commented in last video. hearing the first sentence made me smile. :D

[@thekingofdiy]

I literally did that for you.

[@vaibhavkamath2885]

The king of DIY haha thanks :)

[@danlamont7133]

What did you say?

[@thekingofdiy]

Told me his misses my old intro. "Hi everybody, joey here again and welcome back"

[@danlamont7133]

The king of DIY Awesome. Throwback thursday

[@roblavalle7800]

Joey welldone i really enjoy this and learn alot. Please do more videos like this one. Best wish a to You and your Family.

[@peterlambert1090]

really enjoyed this thanks

[@brandonfoley3175]

Absolutely love your channel, haven't missed a single video and you truly inspire me along with many other hobbyist. Thank you for doing what you do Joey

[@thekingofdiy]

Thanks for sharing Brandon!

[@dragontamerreptiles4955]

Looks like a top notch product! Great behind the scenes! Nice narration as well Joey! Thanks for sharing this cool process with us!

[@deepagupta5822]

Wow Joey!!! This was so cool! I really appreciate your efforts !

[@HateKraZe]

Amazing! I like the process and wish i could work in a place like this. I especially like the aluminum bracing

[@syedahmed1692]

A great experience Joey!!...thanks a lot for the video....

[@CreativePetVlogs]

Thank you Custom Aquariums for letting Joey share this very interesting behind the scenes process with us!

[@AH-un6bc]

Wow that process is so cool

[@brandonmays7345]

They look good joey, can't wait to see them full of water and fish on your gallery. Hopefully those don't have to get helicoptered to your house haha. Keep up the good work and content 👍🏼

[@Arteolike]

Quick question, are those little silicone spacers left in place permentantly or are they somehow removed later?

[@thekingofdiy]

Left in yes

[@alb9022]

I suppose those spacers don't affect structural integrity.

[@Arteolike]

Thanks Joey, it's nuts cause this video contrasts most of the information I received from forums regarding silicone injection in DIY builds. I wonder how this video will change the narrative in the community.

[@mell0116]

That was really interesting, thank you to Custom Aquariums for allowing the behind the scenes tour.

[@materra3]

Nice to know that they offer lifetime warranty on their tanks. Very much impressive and commendable :)

[@nickbalassone6196]

Thank you for this content. It's great watching what's going on and having a great narrative on what we are seeing.

[@ghosttype3767]

such a cool video!!! thanks joey and custom aquariums!

[@kusnithamrin343]

Awesome 😊👍

[@fishlaw1]

Awesome video Joey . . . Keep sharing the knowledge and happy fish keeping ! ! !

[@2Tone-x8h]

That was like a personalized version of "How It's Made" which I was watching when this notification popped up. 😂 Thanks Joey and thanks Custom Aquariums.

[@azraelur]

When they dropped the glass, made my jump. 😂😂

[@drakan]

Same. Cringe level was maxed out hard.

[@mrsherburt6393]

silicone injection is some next level quality method! enjoyed that! thank joey ✌✌✌✌✌

[@JulesAskalotl]

wow thanks for the video!!! extremely informative! I never realized everything that went into it!

[@elizabethcrespo7225]

Wow, what an amazing process.

[@metratone5]

Lovely video. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheNellehFox]

Watching the silicone application is sooo satisfying.

[@fraxinus_ash]

Glad it's not just me - I was going 'oooooooh' at that in my head :D

[@arijit276]

I haven't built any aquarium, but this inspired me a lot. I will give it a shot in my next setup.

[@MikeLemming]

Very well done Joey! It's awesome to see the tanks actually made and I expect that these will do perfect for the galaxy! Awesome job my friend!! 👍🏼

[@traxhax30]

how you sounded in the beginning '' hi '' made my smile and the commentary sounded really Professional to :)

[@KGcichlids]

Fantastic video!

[@trochartist]

very cool process👍 those are some snazzy stands

[@benjaminjmace]

Your best video yet. Awesome job!

[@AquaticHaus]

Super cool and interesting to watch even if I don't build aquariums!

[@scottiemittelstaedt3083]

amazing, incredible service

[@take87chris]

This was really cool, you could totally fill in for Mike Rowe..

[@6895Anna]

I found this incredibly relaxing to watch, thank you.

[@dlnowparty]

You truly are the king of DIY. Thanks for all the insight. Unfortunately, I cannot keep a tank because of my circumstances so I admire other aquarist's tanks and live it through them. Haha. I am trying to mix this hobby with another to create something different that I havent seen out there and your videos are helping a ton. Again, due to my circumstances, this may take a while. Either way, I'm staying tuned. Great channel!!!!

[@mrnetwurm]

I think my next tank will be from Custom Aquariums. I appreciate their willingness to show the process.

[@kevinhayes3146]

Pro level video Joey. Your quality gets better with every upload. Really enjoyed this thank you.

[@simplyfacts6662]

great video the narration was spot on

[@Taahirify]

I wished there was such aquarium building company in my country which does such good and CLEAN job when building aquarium

[@rockinrobert1]

wow great video it made me think twice about the company. I think I will buy my next tank from them. loved the quality of the workmanship. plus I like the fact th as they used aluminum instead of plastic snd its removable.

[@miniponyasmr602]

Wow. Those are so nice!

[@mr.smithskitchen3224]

great video joey, that was an awesome tour. thanks for sharing it with all of us.

[@ramukmacias]

That was the most relaxing 10 minutes I've had all day. I should go look at my tank lol.

[@Paulbearer879]

Like I said in your last video, they built a 500 (8'x4'x2') last year for me and unfortunately I sold it before I moved here currently for work. I knew I was going to buy a house here, just closed yesterday, and now reached out to them to start a 900 (12'x4'x2 1/2') for my new home and I'm turning my garage into a room and putting up French doors instead of garage doors. Took a lot from you joey and others as an inspiration to make this room. Thanks

[@theaquaticjourney8988]

Great video joey

[@Malick_ibn_dinar]

nice footage and narration this guy is a genius for giving us the opportunity to witness this

[@dwaynegenx72]

Excellent vid! i enjoyed it

[@maverickmax909]

so satisfying to watch!nice one Joey

[@raashidkhan2886]

best video of joey, just love hearing u😊😊

[@wouterjansen7666]

Today in an all new episode of How it's made. Anyways awesome video joey! Thanks for showing this to us

[@aquaticma]

Thank you for sharing Joey! Very interesting watching how they make our all mighty glass boxes 👍

[@ahmedlaith]

nice video as always, just one question is there a way to smooth the edges of the glass like that in DIY like with sandpaper ?

[@junaidiabdilah89]

great video and explanations

[@madeuce3011]

Fascinating, and informative. Thanks, Joey.

[@shaynehall9172]

That was very cool! Thank you very much for sharing!

[@1997debbie]

Really cool Joey! I like the welcome back as well at the beginning of your video. Have a great day.

[@thekingofdiy]

Used to say that for every single video. Slowly stopped about a year ago. I dont know why, i just didnt like how rehearsed it felt. I did it again to appease a commenter in last weeks video. ;)

[@rubenhofmans]

Very nice video, thanks again Joey!
