FInd out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmeqY6Stirh-a7c

[@KETACAINOfficial]

U needa go back and get the other 2 Oscar to they deserve a big tank with a king

[@thekingofdiy]

@@KETACAINOfficial They do! But they gotta be nicer. I cant rescue every oscar... i'd have 50 a week!

[@joshreagan1487]

I like these long form videos. How about the war paint goby’s?

[@bobyeager9278]

that is one cool tank and so simple.. how about royal grammas. or a school of six bar goby's

[@markfranklin8831]

I think this convince me to get a salt tank. Thanks for sharing

[@rafameza4186]

49 minutes of absolute joy for me love this long format videos Joey!

[@Z3US_GAMING11]

Its sooooo wholesome to see Joey going from struggling with tanks alone to having his son to help him... Every fish keepers dream❤️

[@jayhouse20]

Great video bud. Love the enthusiasm. You truly love your craft!

[@sandyloyst1811]

Joey, that was an awesome video. I just love the salt water tank. It's simplicity and that water flow is mesmerizing. Thanks for including us. Hit that thumbs up people for more great building and fish moving to come.

[@connorparnham5211]

By far my most favourite “scape” in the gallery, will be doing something like this at work when we move site and open our gallery. Simple and fantastic

[@watupkidd1]

I’m so happy ! About time youre doing saltwater again! I hope you Start posting your saltwater tanks as often as your freshwater! 🎉

[@rybamjo8160]

best video you have released in a long time. these are the best style you do, amazing content

[@ryandueitt-fm4hi]

I have always wanted a salt water set up but I thought you had to have sumps and all sorts of other special things for salt water. But after watching this video…. I’m going for it!

[@stuartball3538]

Love that new tank on breeze blocks,would love to see a larger rock in the middle of the tank like a focal point,for fish to swim around plus it breaks up line of site if any aggression

[@TankBossOG]

Large size selling out. Careful you get the right size. Got one for myself.Thanks Joey.

[@jgmatney5059]

Love the video as always! Seems like you need another gallery. One that has permanent setups and one to continuously change and experiment with!

[@MetrosFinest]

Definitely luv the new aquarium and the whole idea... Keep on keeping on my friend 💯

[@rattdoggsaquariums4976]

Love these long videos!

[@herbusmc1146]

I don't know what it is......but that tank in early stages is the most beautiful aquarium I've ever seen.,..I wouldn't change a thing.... except relocate that aquarium to my bedroom..... absolutely hypnotizing 😊

[@Jovahe100]

@thekingofdiy😍 love the saltwater, I would add some anenomies as wel as fish. I also like the oscar tank idea. So enjoy your new toys

[@TarasAquaria]

I have an albino comet goldfish that looks like those creamy colored Oscar's. Beautiful colors for beautiful fish. I have electric blue acaras and they are beautiful! You won't regret it when they flash their pretty blue. Hikari cichlid gold is awesome food as well and I recommend. I purchased my acaras from aquarica.

[@grahamhunter4996]

Absolutely wonderful, I keeped salt water fish to 40yrs ago and it was so difficult and the fish and sea cucumbers were so delicate . You can be lucky and get the balance right .or if you are not it's hard work.

[@desmondtas]

Hey boii, you should add 2 additional elbow facing towards the bottom of the container for a better flow (not accumulating too much debris) or 2 T joint and some extension to create bottom suction

[@debbielibby8036]

Remember back in the day Joey, you didn't know anything about saltwater aquariums!! I told you back then, that with your knowledge about freshwater keeping, you will learn fast and will truly enjoy keeping saltwater aquariums. Look at you now Joey, I'm so proud of you!!!!!❤

[@dylanz5598]

DUUUUDE, THAT 700 GALLON ALL GLASS FISH TANK THAT HAD THOSE PEARL STINGRAYS IN IT WAS F'ING GORGEOUS🤩 I WISH I COULD AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THAT OR A MASSIVE SQUARED/CUBE TANK. NOW THOSE BIG SQUARED/CUBE FISH TANKS ARE MY DREAM SETUPS. THOSE TANKS DON'T TAKE UP NO WHERE NEAR THE AMOUNT OF SPACE THOSE LONG TANKS TAKE UP.

[@divemasteruk]

Excellent video, a flame angle and a couple blennies and wrasses etc

[@Gnarlcharm]

Loved the long video, normally with the shorter ones there is a disconnect between episodes but it was cool to go on the whole journey so far with this tank. Was good to see your son, you should get him helping with more projects start to finish, his confidence will grow and Joey, you're getting old now, you need the help 😉

[@cocothenutthenut5401]

Thanks! Love the longer videos. Nice to spend more time with you!

[@bencoad8492]

What wavemaker is he using? like how its making those waves.

[@alexanderklein2389]

This is amazing! I tried doing macro algae at home and failed, yet I can keep coral lol. If you are looking for suggestions for fish I would put a couple yellow coris wrasses. They are peaceful, active, and it's neat watching them go to bed (sleep in the sand bed). I have two and I love them!

[@andrewnaessig2516]

I had red grape caulerpa go sexual in a tank years ago while I was stuck in the hospital. I pulled it out by the bucket full. Was in all plumbing and everywhere… but I’d do it all again cus my fish loved it. Tank was only a fowlr though at the time.

[@Jmatrixxxxxxxx]

Get some of those snails that go under the sandbed theyre good for keeping it clean by moving the sand around and they look cool as well.

[@shel.b.1090]

Omg that looks beautiful joey ❤❤❤❤

[@coreymeadows7133]

You're videos are filled with alot of diy projects that are good for new comers to fish 🐟 hobby

[@forrestmartin895]

This tank is amazing. The best top water action i have ever seen.

[@AXLzonderE]

I LOVE the waves!

[@mariorojper5851]

Make it a colorado sunburst anemone tank, or black widow rose bubble. Exotic nems and clownfish

[@matthewrawson3245]

Love these full videos, love the tank

[@ziggyo2960]

Great video really enjoyed it some good ideas 👍

[@jlo3688]

GREAT VIDEO!!!! EXCITED for the EPIC 21 Ft long tank!!!

[@DannyTehGod]

That flow is amazing. Its like a stormy ocean

[@sjonnie721]

Love the minimalistic idea, of having a view really cool tanks. And i love the salt water tank the way you put it together!

[@dpp898]

One of my favorite fish videos this year so far 👍

[@kimlongdota]

Also a frag tank on the back wall. Corals are amazing and you can make a profit

[@thomasb4467]

It would be awesome if you put out some ransoms 20-30 minute videos of random fish tanks so we can just enjoy observing the various fish and their behaviors. Maybe have some nice music playing over it and no other sound.

[@mcbean1]

how does the bio filter work without a light source, my understanding is that (unlike freshwater) salt water tanks needed a light source to grow hence why you'd use sump lights and or live rock in the main display

[@BritAce1Official]

Great video once again keep up the top work joey 👏

[@DanielIngram-m3x]

This looks amazing, never thought I would consider a salt water tank, but this has me tempted

[@mikebrewis3115]

Can’t wait for the big build!

[@camojim5402]

This was a great video I enjoyed the length and how descriptive you made it. Great job Joey

[@matmacdonald3958]

What wave maker do you have in the saltwater tank?

[@acotyac]

Man the kiddo has grown!! We're salties here with 3 setups. A macro tank will have to be next.

[@YourLocalPondPimp]

A FIFTY MINUTE VIDEO LETS GOOOO‼️👏🏻

[@user-TDeeHobbies-RC.lifestyle]

Luv the new tank.. looking forward to see outcome, in a month or two,,,

[@Darkslide2AR-FE]

Love the video, I agree I love the little waves and surface action going on with the Salt Water tank, I think it's perfect as is honestly. That filter system is pretty awesome!

[@jimbobaso2832]

I am just going back to the hobby and I am a long time subscriber just got back to your channel too. I'm thinking I need to see some of your video again to be inspired I am never wrong. Gonna rewatch a lot of video I havent been on this channel since 2021

[@gtileo]

The outputs like that is going to cause splashing and you'll end up with salt creep. Try and keep the bubbles down and water splashing down. Maybe put a few 90s on the outputs in the water to keep any water splashing inside the PVC and put a small hole in the top so that the air can escape the pipe

[@theon1y183]

How do you clean water marks?

[@wowdad3055]

Has been along time since i seen your son on video , last time he and your daughter were doing a tank he's grown so fast. Nice video .

[@BuzzKora]

Really liked the filter box set but cant find it on temu. Found on AliExpress but it's more expensive than the prices you mention :'(

[@samwagz]

looks amazing honestly love the long videos

[@johnmaude5065]

That filter is $78 on Temu here in Australia plus the discount 😊 I just ordered one 👍

[@cody-zo6]

Love that your going more into the saltwater field!

[@lurksalot7894]

Kick ass vid.💯👍. Start to finish is great . 💯🙏🙏🙏

[@batdorfboys4960]

Haven't Watched in a few months I forgot how amazing the videos are!

[@mateuszx17]

Very interesting and relaxing video.

[@matthewferguson8423]

I think all the SA cichlids in the 21 foot tank will do real well, especially if you give it some significant one way current, like a flowing river, and a few large wooden stumps for them to swarm around. There are a number of KZbin vids (posted by Santartam Discus and Below Water, for example) that show how even discus and angelfish thrive in such high flow environments. Of course, having some variety to the flow, sometimes strong sometimes less could be best for creating a biotype system that could replicate rainfall and seasons.

[@thekingofdiy]

I love that you know who below water is. Just saying. Got the first boesemani ray from Oliver. Then I was the first to breed in captivity. See? Canadians do cool stuff too!!!

[@matthewferguson8423]

@thekingofdiy Awesome! I love that you know who he is. He is the GOAT of keeping and importing south american fish. Would love to see you tour and video his facility. You should definitely get some fish from him. His selection of rarities is outstanding. Especially tetras. Stuff you rarely see in local shops.

[@matthewferguson8423]

@@thekingofdiy Another Canadian fishkeeper you should check out is Jim Cummings. He keeps a lot of rare and endangered Madagascar cichlid species that few hobbyists know about.

[@Westin_J27]

I've been wanting to do a salt tank like that for a while now! It looks amazing, and it's very unique and not traditional.

[@miniRILLO]

Love these long form videos!!!!

[@billybrickwall9102]

I’ve been thinking about doing a DIY acrylic tank and I’m curious where people find the acrylic?

[@Loveofpets]

It looks so beautiful and the water looks turquoise. I could stare at that tank all day.

[@dizzel1723]

Love this new tank!

[@Hey_Blondie]

This is just beautiful. SO jealous.

[@FoodaFIISH]

I got so lost in the plans lol but excited to see the outcome. Also the saltwater aquarium looks beautiful! Definitely something I'd consider making in the future!

[@Clayton_B]

Need to grab a flame angel, that was my favorite salt water fish when I was keeping salt water fish

[@bobby_au]

i just watched 49 mins of you talking........ AND I LOVED IT !!!!!!!!!!

[@motoxposse]

With a deep sand bed garden eels would by way cool

[@bnwesterhout]

I love cause its simple & nice.

[@mdinatale12]

Loving the temu filter 🙌

[@tbaloni]

Dude this tank looks to awesome and natural I love it

[@andibandi1190]

this is simple and beautiful. you do not often see seewater planted tanks.

[@gamingbluemoon]

What is the demension of the filter!?!?!? I love that!! Lil wonky audio for a second! Haha 20:07 but hey i love the longer videos gives me a better idea if the area and feels like im in the gallery more! Cool stuff!

[@rockinrobert1]

I use Rod's chilid food. Because some of the food they carry has medicine in it and my fish love it

[@achevsyed6858]

Amazing Very enjoyable video Looks great Adding more fish looks great More variety of clowns And pigmy angel Blessings

[@rugeramerican308]

JOEY Kevin over at NERD gave you a shoutout in his video, thanking you for awesome aquarium builds😄

[@patrickfo967]

Hi Joey i think a few bubble tip anemones would Look great on this tank !

[@joestewart6420]

A spider decorator crab would look awesome in that big tank

[@trinijam4021]

😅😊 Nice video man and great having your son here, get him more involved! Great duo! 👍

[@SoNiels]

Love it!

[@dustinharders7529]

Add some easy anthias like lyertail, some fairy wrasse, blennys like a couple of midas blennys, and seed with pods really well and add a couple of mandarins but be sure you only have 1 male.

[@brycephillips6069]

What are the lights? Basic led meaning?? Epic video!!!

[@andibandi1190]

you should be able to establish copepodes in the filter too

[@steffanjansenvanvuuren3257]

Concrete in the center too?

[@Xeuthymia]

Damnnn, all your aquariums look incredible!

[@phillipjohnson8993]

Hi from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@projectgozo]

could you post a link for the suction devices you used to move the tank? thanks!

[@timothyseccull2269]

Great video best one

[@andibandi1190]

Since you are planing an aquarium without water changes, you should do some ICP tests, to get an Idea if any nutrients are depleted and in what amount these need to be supplemented. You could show that in videos. When certain nutrinens are lacking, complex macroalgae will stop growing and simple nuisance algae will take over.

[@toddquinn2]

Love the tank!❤️

[@darkiee69]

Joey, you're the king of diy. Time to start to make your own branched rocks out of cement.

[@brianmanning6735]

Love this setup

[@acepace6325]

Its looking good

[@homefishmedia]

Good friend keeping going on your great idea

[@danielvelez4001]

I love that filter ❤❤😂😂

[@VIKINGRAGEQUIT]

New favourite tank!!! Joey maybe you should add a Giant Clam, clearing shrimp and maybe something fun that people don't offer see or is underrated in the saltwater hobby. I wonder if you could create a geo-biotype based on the stuff you already have in the tank.
