you guys have such amazing tanks and a dream collection. your albino/platinum tank is my goals! keep up the good work and best regards to tracey!

[@SosaSal_]

Wow the dark wood gives the tanks such a nice feel. Really brings out the fish. Good work!

[@michaela-be4le]

What a difference guys ! Matt is truly a good friend :) Continued prayers for Mom and you guys :)

[@richardmaloney5566]

Does this make you the ultimate canopy makers? Seriously though, Josh and Matt are hilarious together. Always good for a laugh.

[@DogHumpsMonkey]

Safety glasses, Rich! You’ll put your eye out!

[@danielbocan2897]

He was using safety squints

[@gakkelakkos6927]

For some it is just cutting up a piece of board and clamping it together .. BUT.. when Big Rich springs into action .. true ART WORK is created ! … even finds the time and energy to instruct and guide the young lads so they get back on track .. Like a Boss, Big Rich ! Sweet ...

[@whiteeaglewarrior]

oh yeah that looks reallly classy - nice mod guys, Tracy gunna love

[@ayee6174]

Probably would have 2 coats, but we wouldn't have gotten a paint fight. 😃 Josh & Matt are like having 2 fancy bettas in a bowl!! 😂😂

[@kellyfarrell8180]

Looks awesome you don't have to explain who does what the real ones know keep doing great things God bless

[@Platypus_Warrior]

You have nothing to prove Big Rich, you did your part. Let the kids do the sweat ;0)

[@deniseann7056]

Great job gents, loving your accents, especially the way you say pretty

[@Chuck59ish]

Big improvement to the tanks. Great job guys. Stay Fishy!

[@dylanklemm5534]

Good to see you using the saw completely wrong 😂😂😂

[@dylanklemm5534]

Tyrannical Grim wouldn’t really say that he got it finished I wouldn’t say it was done right or too a high quality ... an regardless of that it’s super dangerous to use a compound mite saw like that, end up with kick back which can end up with fingers missing

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Looks great thx for the video 👍great work there Josh and matt

[@37gns37]

Love the look and screw the people that had a problem with the lights. You made it work and recycled materials.

[@charlenemackason6395]

Good morning 🌞🙏🏽

[@ewupride]

Great stuff, OFR!

[@jeffbeatty6325]

Good video.👍 With Big Rich's bad luck with personal injury over the last year, first thing to come to mind when he was operating the chop saw was where's your SAFETY GLASSES! Stay safe guys......

[@74Vette]

I've always cut the far end and pushed towards the stop.

[@Nids4days-m8q]

Watching you use that saw 😳I had to close my eyes

[@LacoteCohen]

You guys always put a smile on my face 😊, stay fishy

[@michaelthornley]

It looks great guys! Keep it up!

[@Franks_Garage]

Hell yeah great project, Big Rich busted out the sneakers lol

[@jeffscroggins229]

Nice canopy guys

[@michaelross5674]

Looks great fellas

[@maryloumader-pipia9698]

Beautiful job boys, I just admire you all so much

[@Bloodhoundfostermom]

The canopy look fantastic!!

[@PatrickJTezak]

That huge tank looks great with the canopy! I want to build a few canopies for my 75s now!😁

[@sadieb1881]

Looks amazing 😍

[@cricketsong-kg2tc]

Great work! This would be really easy to do to almost any tank except bowfront. Thanks for this.

[@cjdjparent]

Looks great

[@kwaldbaum84]

Looking good guys, you need a cover for that camaro

[@nayagoesglobal]

I like the new every day videos Keep it Up fishy

[@gaylynnmester459]

It's always team work that makes the dream work.

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

There's no "I" in team!

[@jjdoutdoors]

Looks great!

[@Tygor3533]

Haha I was just painting metal I beams in my basement with black oil base, and you two having a paint war, had less paint on ya than me! Lol

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Yes, always use old clothing when painting!

[@Tygor3533]

UNUSUAL AQUARIUM ECOSYSTEMS luckily I had the sense to wear old clothes because always make a mess. Never fails....

[@squirrelfire9857]

Nice radial arm saw

[@Buddy69.]

Nice work....🤘🤘

[@ZeroJewelz]

Thank you for this idea, love to your family ❤

[@2BigFooted]

Cant wait until I dont live in an apartment and I can actually follow along with you guys instead of just watching! Hahah

[@Emg2463]

you guys are definitely putting your corona time to good use !

[@josephwatkins4279]

Be careful cutting the board toward your self its definitely safer to cut from the outside in .

[@janmargelowskyakacrittermo1101]

I saw that and thought, Whoa, that's a bad accident waiting to happen!

[@mkcrew225]

Yea, cutting in the same direction as the blade is spinning is a climb cut, its terribly unsafe. It could cause the saw to jerk. If you did that same style if cut on a table saw you might see the board go flying.

[@zeninsyt]

The canopies look great :)

[@williamamely7038]

Thanks for sharing this video with us. I can some your viewers trying to build their own canopies for their aquariums. How's Tracy progress going? We all wish her a full recovery.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

all they tyell me is no change and im not allowed to see her , it hard to deal with

[@backyardbassvideos7292]

Wen I saw the vid pop up on my phone it looked like it said how to build a canopy for your mom great job as always guys I'm starting my third koi pond tomorrow I can't stop 😭

[@abbyharrison8460]

Thats awsome!

[@thunderbrywilliams9892]

Those Diablo blades are legit, I love using them! looks good tho guys. I just built the stand for my 150g yesterday and about to start on the canopy, after dinn din.. maybe lol. keeps up the awesome work and videos you guys are doing. thanks! 👍🏻

[@ghostrot]

Dont saw at you pull the saw then Down and back so it cant pull in to the wood

[@Jerry-lj3cf]

I love you guy's so much, you have made my day so keep up the awesome work and videos coming along and I'll be sure to watch them all. I'm a fishy friend as well. How is Tracy doing, I am continuing to pray for her and you boys. I hope that all is well with the OFR. Until next time my friends.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

they arent telling me nothing, sorry the last thing i know is she was tracking the nurses with her eyes as they walked around the bed

[@loftyskies123]

Big Rich why werent you wearing eye protection sawing that wood , knowing all the injuries you have had you dont want to add to them , you should do you know . stay safe whatever you are doing. from a concerned great grandma

[@brandonhoward4750]

Lol the struggle with oil base paint

[@zacharyparker1197]

I'd like to see you guys do real big planted tank. Pretty Good carpenter Rich great work guys

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Me too, I make small planted tanks for my channel.

[@brandonhoward4750]

Lol big Rich u have right to stand around

[@cheveburkinshaw860]

Josh does all the work haha 😂 😂😂😂 have a drink boys

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Yep, when you get a job done celebrate with a drink!

[@Fish_Face]

looks great! nice upgrade

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

I agree

[@mynameismario6679]

Luv your vids

[@Shaden0040]

Old home remide for sunburn. Take a face cloth wet it down with red wine or apple cider vinegar. Pat down the burned area as needed. This does two things. Coools the burn and stops the pain and tans the dead skin to prevent further burning damage if more exposure is going to happen. Repeat the application as needed. should last about 3-6 hours. Dab or pat the skin, do NOT RUB it with the vinegar dampened face cloth.

[@1971bovibovi]

looks great

[@Thatcham100]

Good job lads 👌🏻

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Good video, as my planted aquariums are glass bottles and a glass drinks dispenser, I don't really have canopy issues, the drinks dispenser has a lid but I keep it off so air can get to it.

[@mikep9341]

Love this channel nice work!!

[@judyallison2277]

Great video guys why not use flood lights the led lights your electric bill will come down you can get ones that change colours

[@Red-Menace28]

U guys should do a short video of the stuff in that garage I saw the car bikes and ATV i had no idea.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

look on the web www.mean67.com

[@Shazza75]

Very nice! Great job guys, all 3 of you! 👍 Some Turpentine or petrol should get rid of the paint from your skin....

[@hybridchimeramorelia5774]

Big rich you gotta wear some glasses when cutting.hate to see you loose an eye lol.also start the blade close to you and push away from you.your blade is gonna run up the piece as you pull towards you makes for a chippy cut also kinda dangerouse.trying to help out no hate brother keep fishy

[@ryancary1714]

hybrid chimera morelia. I was going to say the same, its a real eyesore seein someone use a power tool the wrong way.

[@pecosR0B]

hopefully 3 years later homie on the miter saw realizes to cut towards the fence and use eye pro and maybe put that hair up so it doesn't get caught in the saw lol nice canopy!

[@jareddunivan5403]

Your saw would cut a lot better if you pulled it towards you then dropped it down and then pushed back towards the saw

[@johnogle1798]

Jared Dunivan for that last cut , it’s probably better that way. I wouldn’t even have tried that ( for obvious reasons ) but it all worked out ok. Pulling back , the blade is pushing the wood down, but cutting forward it’s lifting it up.

[@shantellamend8986]

I did it myself with the Woodglut plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.

[@Nic11777]

The red fish at 11:24 is a red devil or a midas? Beautiful!

[@josephkrug8579]

A trick for pvc....if you cut a square long strip of wood. that will stiffen it to make it hold up a bit better. So would a wooden dowel but a square long piece of wood is easier to cut. That is the same trick on how people stiffen up those harbor freight bar clamps...you put wood blocks in the clamp bar handle and it stiffens it up. Good video. :)

[@krisguenther4897]

Safety glasses guys

[@angelo3440]

how do you guys keep the glass and water clean and free of algae? I do once a week water change and still deal with it all the time

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

It's a pain

[@alancombs9650]

Pull that miter saw all the way towards you then start the cut and work back towards the saw....this is only for boards that are too big for the blade

[@middletnpyro]

your supposed to always cut towards the back of the saw, quick way to loose a finger or eye the way rich is using that miter saw

[@jasonmatthiesen6028]

I thought i seen something fishy. Didn't want to go all OSHA.

[@Shaden0040]

See if you can find a piece of rebar to hang the lights from.

[@thelmahall2593]

If you take a wash cloth and put vinegar on it and put it on your sunburn. Josh, it will take the heat out of the sunburn k.

[@msamson708]

Great vedio as usual👍!!...any update on when we can see you in animal planet or Nat Geo, which you specified few days before?💐👍

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

we are in negotiations or our entertainment lawyer is in negotiations with the production company as we speak

[@msamson708]

Awaiting to see you in big screen😊...your monster fish will be awesome on screen👍💐

[@mtownpyro7198]

watch those fingers lol

[@americanmade4940]

Thinking the same thing!

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Yep lol

[@ryseup9685]

Still concerned about our friend Tracy and her recovery. Hope you can update us soon. We really do miss her and I know you guys do, too. Question: Thinking back, her symptoms seemed a lot like this COVID-19 CoronaVirus. Any chance she might have been an early case? God bless you all.

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

Yes we both did .

[@dennisfeldmann7399]

Hello again just a thought will a 2 in PVC pipe injected with great stuff start in the Middle with a pilot hole then maybe a couple more along the 10 ft length and fill in the ends will that stop it from Boeing.???

[@simplyfishclairebellamy901]

Amazing content as always. Will the oil based paint work with an enclosed lid an prevent mold starting. Stay fishy my friends 💖💖

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

yes

[@mrnobody1550]

9:00 imagine if a wind comes and blow the plank upside down

[@kimberlyreyno5891]

Use vegetable oil to wash your hands and the oil based paint will come off!!

[@kjeldlarsen912]

Yep works every time

[@rasheedbarrow2172]

1/2" emt would work instead of the bulb but it only comes in 10' lengths

[@richardmaloney5566]

Paint a fence. Up down, no side side.

[@alisonbyford4092]

At least Tracy is safe where she is - she won’t believe everything that’s been happening - and she won’t recognise you Slim Rich! How come the little kid stayed cleaner than the adult kids? You guys!!

[@michealledoux603]

How is Tracy doing?!?

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

they arent telling me nothing, sorry the last thing i know is she was tracking the nurses with her eyes as they walked around the bed

[@michealledoux603]

Ok. Well we are still praying!!!

[@mikeb2430]

Lol throw a lil water in the garbage cans

[@TheEAFOS]

doesn't that paint need an undercoat???

[@middletnpyro]

two words.... mineral spirits

[@middletnpyro]

7:02 ⬆️

[@alisonbyford4092]

Stay safe my fishy friends!

[@aishwarymarne8339]

No update on Tracy? How is she?

[@ohio-fish-rescue]

they arent telling me nothing, sorry the last thing i know is she was tracking the nurses with her eyes as they walked around the bed

[@jamesward6223]

Boys will play and GARBAGE cans are perfect horses I use them daily

[@SUM1SLY83]

What's with the pencil? And are you not suppose to cut into the board not out of the board, you're cutting away from the teeth on the blade.

[@dennisfeldmann7399]

Rich Boys will be Boys. I have 2 30 something son's and still can't behave when working on a project for me!!!!

[@scdecade]

Now's the time for the face mask. Processed wood has chemicals

[@hijikataissei9623]

Soo many Osha violations.

[@leighsheltonnoseypottercom]

it looks way better mate

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

I agree,

[@monsterfishgal]

Looks great

[@TheJayceonmoney]

Looks great fellas
