I'm Building a PLYWOOD REEF for my GIANT MORAY EEL!!

Plywood aquarium build series, with an in-depth look at how I'm constructing a new tank for my giant Spotted Moray Eel - "Monster".

[@apanhaesta]

I follow a lot of aquarium channels for so many years and this is by far the most exiting one. Really great work Adam. 👌

[@australianaquarist]

Legend! Thanks so much. Sometimes it’s frustrating putting work into videos and not seeing many views, but I enjoy the creative outlet and I’m happy to play the long game

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Another great video Adam! you had me in stitchers watching you get the wife on board, I find it's best not to ask 🤣 looking forward to seeing how this one comes up, it's funny I just built a 6m long stand in my new studio and the floor in there runs down hill to, so I had to make sure the top was level but mine was out of wood, I'll call you through the week 🙂

[@australianaquarist]

I shall eagerly await your call young man

[@jamesb5277]

Great channel mate, can’t wait to see this build complete and to learn some stuff along the way!

[@australianaquarist]

That will be you and myself James! It will be awesome when it’s completed and quite a challenge to construct I expect

[@dougieGTRVspec]

Unreal mate, very excited to follow!

[@australianaquarist]

Cheers mate I’m very happy to have you follow along!

[@xisotopex]

terrific.... was thinking about doing a small "pond" on my patio, now I think an above ground outdoor plywood aquarium would be even better...

[@australianaquarist]

I really enjoy the outdoor turtle tank. It’s a great size, and I’ve often thought how good it would be to have one in a patio or outdoor deck area. Spotlights at night time, watch the fish whilst having dinner! The only downside to a tank outside is the reflection on the glass on sunny days

[@Rosscobi]

I love this, I’ve been contemplating on how to broach the subject with the misso about my large native tank build to house, my Barra and friends 😅

[@australianaquarist]

I’m lucky. I always had the go ahead, as she’s happy me enjoying my hobby at home, rather than in a pub somewhere! Maybe you can try that angle?

[@Rosscobi]

Hahaha, shes alright plus I have a fridge in the shed (for fish food) 😜. I am a Waterproofer and longtime hobbyist so if you need any advice on products and techniques feel free to reach out. love your vids keep up the good work @@australianaquarist

[@PykeTho]

Absolutely hyped for this build, you're a legend for releasing these videos. I can't help but feel like it's a solitary Islands inspired scape but I can't think of any particular landmark you'd be replicating.

[@australianaquarist]

Hey Pyke! No not the Solitary’s. - though that’s a good idea! Unfortunately, Gymnothorax isingteena isn’t found in our waters

[@queencityreefs]

Cant wait to see the end result!

[@australianaquarist]

Cheers QCR! It’s going to be a mammoth build, and I believe, well worth it

[@CDot7897234]

Liked and subbed!! Can’t wait to see progress!!

[@australianaquarist]

Nice one It’s going to be a great build process!

[@NBurgReef]

This is going to be an epic tank! Great video and can’t wait to see how it all turns out in the long run. Love how you always do something unique and don’t just copy whatever trends are in style.

[@australianaquarist]

Thanks! I think fundamentally we need to do what WE like ourselves, otherwise dissatisfaction will set in when we look at our tanks

[@Reefnow]

Thank you for the video

[@australianaquarist]

You are very welcome!

[@jackspencer63]

Is it the Rock Islands, Palau? That place full of life and unique lagoons.

[@australianaquarist]

You are absolutely correct Jack! I’m going to build a limestone rock island, with that iconic mushroom shaped coverage of trees/ shrubs, the overhanging tide eroded waterline and a coral reef below. Can you please leave me your details or message me on 0402522738. I’ll get your full name and address, and have frenzy send out your prize. Don’t forget to look on their website at the different pellet types and sizes- you can choose two different types

[@jackspencer63]

@@australianaquarist Wow that's going to look amazing and Monster will love it. My full name is Jack Anthony Spencer and my Address is 27 Dressage place, Epping, Victoria. My fish would love 1mm marine sinking and 2mm cichlid Sinking.

[@johnmaude5065]

That’s going to be an amazing tank 😊, and I’m very impressed with frenzy fish food, I don’t have a fish that won’t eat it. I’ll definitely be ordering for sale to my local fish keepers 👍

[@australianaquarist]

Nice one. I did call you back a while ago and left a message. I’m not sure what the time difference is between you and the east coast

[@Gilsfishroom]

Need to ask permission eh? Easy to see who wears the pants at your place. I just do whatever I want, then beg for permission. At first I thought that your" paladariumscape" might be one of those little rock islands where the Batavia was wrecked, and the terrestrial section is where you were going to bury some skeletons. After the third clue, the only world heritage area I can think of is Ningaloo reef. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the build, and what happens when the wife realises what she agreed to.

[@australianaquarist]

Yeah, begging for forgiveness is a nice tact, but I think with a 4000litre tank , it was going to be difficult to hide! You’re the third person to think Ningaloo, but it’s going to be the Rock Islands of Palau
