[@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❤️

[@TankBossOG]

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

[@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

[@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

[@MetrosFinest]

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

[@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.

[@BKAqua]

10 years ago while in the military I started following you. I learned soooo much from you king. My fav video is the undergravel jet system filtration 9 years ago 😊. Today January 2024 I come back and I am super stoke to see you still here doing your thing. Your voice changed too lol😂. Thank you and I am back in the hobby and it feels like I never left.

[@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 😊

[@matthewrawson3245]

Love these full videos, love the tank

[@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!

[@rattdoggsaquariums4976]

Love these long videos!

[@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!!!!!❤

[@camojim5402]

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

[@cocothenutthenut5401]

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

[@jlo3688]

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

[@Sam-ev5ox]

looks amazing honestly love the long videos

[@AXLzonderE]

I LOVE the waves!

[@shel.b.1090]

Omg that looks beautiful joey ❤❤❤❤

[@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 😉

[@birkelandmedia]

Keep em coming!

[@andibandi1190]

try to establish Copepodes. you can see in videos that people introduce them during the night, and just put the bottle in the aquarium with the opening close to stones or substrate, allowing them to crawle out. after you will have established Copepodes, you can add a pair of Mandarine fish.

[@DannyTehGod]

That flow is amazing. Its like a stormy ocean

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@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

[@YourLocalPondPimp]

A FIFTY MINUTE VIDEO LETS GOOOO‼️👏🏻

[@lurksalot7894]

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

[@codys_corals]

Love that your going more into the saltwater field!

[@andibandi1190]

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

[@miniRILLO]

Love these long form videos!!!!

[@bnwesterhout]

I love cause its simple & nice.

[@mikebrewis3115]

Can’t wait for the big build!

[@tbaloni]

Dude this tank looks to awesome and natural I love it

[@BritAce1Official]

Great video once again keep up the top work joey 👏

[@brianmanning6735]

Love this setup

[@dpp898]

One of my favorite fish videos this year so far 👍

[@timothyseccull2269]

Great video best one

[@divemasteruk]

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

[@toddquinn2]

Love the tank!❤️

[@coreymeadows7133]

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

[@dizzel1723]

Love this new tank!

[@ADayWithT]

Hey!! No stealing my acaras!

[@lauchlanvavasour7102]

You tell him lol

[@soscsosc4861]

Lol

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

Is the kid his? 😮 You both look to young to be parents to that boy lol

[@time4another1776]

😂😅😂

[@ibrahimwadood5995]

He won't be stealing them, he'll be "helping you out" by very generously taking them off your hands when they're too big for your tanks

[@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.

[@Hey_Blondie]

This is just beautiful. SO jealous.

[@gabriellastahl9737]

I just want to say the difference between joey holding that bag of sand like a loaf of bread and me nearly falling over as a fully grown adult is mind boggling 😂

[@tinchytarantula]

I couldn't help but laugh so you break this I break you 😂😂😂

[@user-TDeeHobbies-RC.lifestyle]

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

[@andibandi1190]

you can add Sand Eating Gobys, for example the Diamond Goby

[@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!

[@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!

[@TheJudy0786]

Beautiful 😀 😍

[@Bernard4625]

Great video

[@Xeuthymia]

Damnnn, all your aquariums look incredible!

[@evaparker7142]

Looking great

[@mateuszx17]

Very interesting and relaxing video.

[@acotyac]

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

[@user-yo1cr5gr2k]

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

[@forrestmartin895]

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

[@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!

[@joeprovenzano4362]

Beautiful

[@naanVimalSarminra]

Beautiful ❤

[@mdinatale12]

Loving the temu filter 🙌

[@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.

[@SierraJenson4]

Gorgeous

[@bobby_au]

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

[@RogueAquariums]

Plenty of flow 👏

[@danielvelez4001]

I love that filter ❤❤😂😂

[@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

[@andibandi1190]

you should be able to establish copepodes in the filter too

[@darkiee69]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@homefishmedia]

Good friend keeping going on your great idea

[@acepace6325]

Its looking good

[@kimlongdota]

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

[@whatsup242]

Emperor angel will be really cool Joey.

[@batdorfboys4960]

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

[@TheJayceonmoney]

That’s a beautiful tank

[@staysaltyproductions4641]

Looks like a tide pool love it

[@908fishkeeper]

So cool!!

[@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.

[@Itssam89]

Please keep this tank going 👌👌

[@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.

[@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

[@TerraMagnus]

The piranhas are looking so good

[@Ygblitzz]

I prefer macro algae tanks over coral . Very simple and beautiful .

[@Fishyfunchannel]

“Fishy fun” channel says awesome video!!

[@rolandtraynor]

Love it ...

[@phillipjohnson8993]

Hi from Winnipeg Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦

[@andibandi1190]

if you introduce several types of clowns you need to monitor aggressiveness, especially during night.

[@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

[@josephgadway8950]

Great tank. Above tank filters are the way to go. I have diy top tank filters. SOOOO easy!

[@Sinbertus]

That mic failing had me laughing hard!!!

[@martinmulkeen-suarez798]

Hi Joey love the idea of the 21 ft tank( I thought that it was going to be planted). If that is the case I would personally think twice before adding the severums..

[@achevsyed6858]

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

[@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 .
