Exclusive Tour of My Home Fish Room!

[@WetCoastAdventures]

The BEST channel on KZbin, in my opinion. Your videos always make my day, and have recently inspired me to raise and breed a trio of super red bristlenose. Wish me luck, Sir. Thanks for everything, Nick.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks so much good luck with the bristle nose

[@RyoWatanabee]

Your fish room is gorgeous. Really like your water change system and racks that you've built.

[@KeepingFishSimple]

Thanks man

[@timmeh1384]

@@KeepingFishSimple Looks awesome!!!! You should do some native ponds of fish that should survive out there all year round

[@garageaquatics2023]

Your Landlord must absolutely love you! 🙂 ~Ron

[@Aus_Aquatics]

You know its a good day when Nick uploads! I cant wait to see how the outside pleco breeding and blue eyes go. I'm excited for everything that is to come, good luck Nick!

[@surangirajapaksha7471]

thanks to nick I was able to improve my mental health by joining this wonderful hobby so thanks a lot nick

[@nathanhoveyaquatics]

The Goodies common name is Red tail Splitfins. I actually just got 10 in the mail/post about a month ago. I can't wait to see the amazing colors they have. Room looks amazing Nick 👍🏼 and hello from Florida.

[@naturesaffiliate]

I had to pause this midway and work on my tank. Love these setups, really inspiring and got me working on my tank for the last 5 hours. I am back to finish the video feeling better after a bit of aquascaping.

[@Nanolific]

A large carbon block effectively breaks down chloramine. I’ve been running a multi-stage filter with a large carbon block for close to a year, water changing nearly 2,500 gallons of tanks. Love seeing the new fish room setup!

[@hobf8573]

Bro. Your plumb set up n water recycling gave me nerdgasm

[@Vera-k5o]

Loveeee the plans for the cowboy tanks, so excited to see what you create. Definitely would love videos on the construction 😍

[@galejohnson8086]

Beautiful tank with the angels and tetras. Love the dark water, and open swimming space. Planted just right without becoming a jungle

[@PeterPanbe]

I suffer from depression and anxiety (bipolar and adhd, I got the jackpot), but your voice is so calming. Thanks for existing - 🙏

[@tejmag7608]

All made up

[@Rudy-y2m]

Bro, get a fish tank. Get 10 fish tanks hahaha. It changed my life❤

[@Rudy-y2m]

Oh and go cichlids or tetras. I have 10 tanks. And i use to have big fish like oscars and red tail cat fish, but they get way to big and they eat everything hahaga. So keet to small fish, its way cooler. But yea. Anxiety is a bitch, and keeping fish defenitly help with that!

[@TalisaAquarist]

I love the fish paintings that you made!

[@DonatelloGP]

Glad I get to watch when it drops! Very cool, very chill. Just digging all the chat and info

[@simonsmith7431]

I'm coming up to qld from Victoria in April. I definitely want to call into your shop. I've been watching you for years, so would be awesome to see it in person.

[@darrylmoore5847]

Your fish room looks incredible. I look forward to seeing it grow.

[@Doomcubus]

most coolest and efficient fish room i've ever seen realy amazing job keep up the great work ! 🖤🐠

[@jodip719]

Great video Nick! Really nice to see your home fish room. The last time I ordered bug buffet, I got the big bag and I've been able to send some to a couple people I know. Hoping they love it as much as I do. I would love a softer version of green cuisine. That would be amazing! Cheers!

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Looking fantastic, look forward to watching the progress.

[@dangray]

Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thanks

[@avalausten6858]

It's amazing you have your own place already and your doing what you love. I hope you know how blessed you are! Hobby--> 🏡 🐟💰

[@IslandFishkeeping]

Love the shots of the fish in this one! Looks amazing!

[@ruckus1745]

Loving your videos as of late! Keep up the good work my dude!

[@lanagujardo3137]

well done i love the recycling of the water so many dont do it

[@nicknewman9926]

I absolutely love ur videos they have gotten me into keeping fish myself ur videos have taught me a lot and have inspired me to try breeding my own fish

[@Clipcaptured]

your videos have inspired me to start breeding fish myself. I bought myself a group of 14 l183 ancistrus and in the last 2 months have had 5 spawns. Love your content.

[@Firefoxav26]

Keep up the high quality videos! We love it

[@JanKelso-u2w]

I'm setting up my own fish room. What size and brand air pump are you using?? I'm doing the same as what you have done for the sponge filters

[@BananaRussell]

The first video I watched of yours was when you were showing your tanks in your parent’s kitchen… I think?? It’s so nice to see how far your passion has taken you. You’re wicked smart too! You’re awesome :) thanks for sharing all this with us.

[@Ishan.patel.]

You have such a arsenal of knowledge we are lucky you are sharing this with us

[@later_daze_4080]

Ram painting on the wall is dope! The entire room looks great!

[@gregthomas2904]

I look forward to the 6 month and 1 year update on the tanks. The species mix may change, but the maturation of the tank will be interesting..

[@vampgaia]

Amazing! I hope you remembered to add storage space for food and a frig and sink for brine shrimp hatching. It’s so much easier having it all in the fish room.

[@CoyoteVlogs]

Shout out from Holtville California ..big fan. Keep up the content and i got small tanks myself. Happy Holidays

[@rjvlogs3653]

you can filter cloramine out with an ROdi system, should cost about 90 dollars, then you can fit water storage tanks on the top level re-mineralise and fill from those.

[@Ryanlimzq]

Hi there, regarding the covers of your ponds, u can try taking mosquito netting and using PVC pipe as well as some zip ties to create a very fine mesh cover that will be suitable for keeping out dragonfly larvae as well as other critters or bugs that may want to predate on your fish. Pro tip: fill the PVC pipes with sand or water to weigh them down naturally

[@markfranklin8831]

What amazing video. Thanks for sharing

[@fabiopenke9486]

yas please do two types of Green Cuisine ❤

[@The-50-Simmer]

oh my so jealous 🙂 fantastic room. i have a plantroom with some aquaria. 1 x 200, 1 x 125, 1x 80, 1 x 30 liters.

[@sssgaming6312]

i love how the amazon tank turned out.. excited for future updates on it❤

[@justinstarbuck1190]

Thanks for all your efforts 🎉

[@jesyjones5078]

Brilliant set-up! Thanks for sharing it

[@leercekim]

Love your projects!

[@SleeperBBQ]

looks great love the auto change

[@michelbeugelink5477]

Crayfish names : Jack and Jill :) Great video !

[@mikebloom6279]

Id do a low boy top down filtration tank up top with plants/pumps and put bottom tanks on floor. And yes black walls would be cool lol

[@aurelian6313]

Enjoying your video from Vancouver, Canada.

[@garageaquatics2023]

Wait! Doesn't Adrian have a filtration system outside against his house that takes care of the Chloramines as well as everything else? ~Ron

[@billmeyer4773]

Good learning experience and great information about fish ❤

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

I got the notification of the video at almost 2 am and i am thinking to myself i can wait another hour to go to sleep 😅😊

[@missyflutter5562]

😂 very relatable

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

Sleep can wait 🤣

[@Aquarium_Fantasy-HF]

I feel sleep watching it 😅

[@mr.navorski7501]

Hi Nick! Your Fish room and outdoor System is fantastic! The Fish you show at 20:00 and got from Adrian is Xenotoca Eiseni I think.

[@kalebhope5714]

please never stop making content 🙏

[@grandmothergoose]

Ideal would be to have Green Cuisine and Bug Buffet both available as Sticks/Sinkers for bottom feeders, Flakes/Floaters for top feeders, Crumble for general/mixed use, and Tiny Fry Powder for the tiniest day-old fry fish (eg: Honey Blue Eye fry and others that are hard to feed for being so small). But it would depend on financial viability to change anything of course, just because randoms on the internet says do it, we'll buy it, doesn't mean it's a good idea nor we'll all buy enough to make it viable to produce.

[@Aaron-oe4yr]

Some easy House plants - boston fern, creeping jenny (most likely find at bunnings with pond plants), spider plants

[@al20o33]

i love the koi angels!

[@Daniel-x4z]

Cool setups.greetings from California

[@miniscenesgb]

Fascinating. And I didn't know you could keep crayfish with fish and shrimp

[@WadeFaber-q1p]

On the bug buffet…. I recently purchased a 450g bag and eagerly awaited its arrival. When I received it I opened it up and found half of it was already powder. Previous videos I had seen it in a pellet form much like the green cuisine in this video. Had I known it wouldn’t arrive like I had seen I wouldn’t have ordered. Maybe if you can make a powder form green cuisine you can make a pellet form bug buffet? Hope this helps.

[@GooberSmoosh]

I’ve ordered bug buffet a few times now, each time different. The most recent was very powdery, to much in my opinion. Batch from April-may of this year was the best 👌

[@WadeFaber-q1p]

I do understand it is meant to break up easy however I think the warehouse and postman done most of that for me 😅

[@australianbiotopes4563]

Cool video mate! it's looking good and growing fast 🙂

[@jeffkane4391]

Looking great thanks for sharing 😊

[@quoctho2105]

Perfect timing!!! Looking for something to wind down to and nothing good found then this!!!! New vid!

[@airjordan23-qm6bf]

i always look up to you in the fishkeeping world :D

[@BVaqueroREMAX]

What kind of light are you using for your aquariums?

[@rossturner3650]

Chilli and bandit for the crayfish!

[@SpartanRithimus]

So many cool set-ups! Curious, what's the main sand substrate that you use?

[@deciduus]

5 stage+ rodi system with a remineralization block at the end would filter chloramines. ideally atleast x2 1 micron carbon fiber blocks (when first is spent you move 2 into slot 1 and add new to slot 2). This is what I do for my reef tank (i dont need to remineralize because i mix saltwater, but for freshwater there are remineralization blocks so you'd likely want 7 stage RODI (from Bulk Reef Supply, amazon, etc), then a final in line mineral block at the end. 7 stage is the standard, my 5 stage works for chloramines but i have to change my filters more frequently than a rodi system with more stages. Im sure you know, but if you had an uncycled tank, like a hospital tank or a fresh hatch tank; you dechlorinate the water, and it binds the toxic ammonia (like chloramine) for 48 hours. then it releases where it would become toxic, so for an uncycled tank you would need to be dosing Prime or similar every 48 hours until bacteria cycle can process within 48 hours. Ammonia alert badges by seachem are helpfuil here as they visually only read toxic (unbound) ammonia. very helpful if you encounter issues in fry or hospital tanks after 48 hours of dechlorinating. (Ive raised baby clownfish this way in uncycled hatch tanks). (This is basically a preventative measure, but the fry are extremely sensitive so i do it INCASE any chloramine get through my rodi, then the ammonia alert badge also continues to perform thoughout hatching, feeding through metamorphosis, fry die off, or eggs unhatched spoiling, and so on. Having a visual representation with seachem ammonia alert has been so vital for my successful rearing with chloramines exposure locally, rodi filter, waste management, etc.

[@cortlynnelliott1797]

They argue about your mating choices judgementally on your production shelfs LOL 😂

[@sarahhanwright1008]

I think a rug would be a good idea make the room a bit cosier and stop the glare and slipping hazard of the tiles

[@footagemissing]

Great room Nick, very jealous. Can you put a whole house filter on to remove chloramines? A powdered green cuisine would be great, I feed bug buffet and green cuisine to all my tanks.

[@edmzoneavicii]

Hi Nick . I constantly get inspired by your content and now i breed bettas , mollies and guppies and it would be realy cool if u could add chapters in your videos😅. Thanks alot❤❤

[@arowanabrixia]

I'd be very interested in a powder form of the Green Cuisine! I've actually been sticking the pellets into the holes in my spray bar so that when the pellets eventually break down they dissipate evenly throughout the tank for my Borneo Loaches. They don't really go for the full pellets at all, but they love the little crumbs...

[@AlphaGamerDelux]

looking forward to updates on the room and ponds.

[@MrOnwisconsin2011]

You should time stamp you tanks and list the species you have in them. I certainly would appreciate it. Loved some of the species you showed off.

[@JanineDonnell]

You make it look easy!

[@Apistoleon]

Such an inspirational fish room, Nick. Do you know the best method to harvest mosquito larvae for fish food outside in a sanitary way ? Thanks

[@Ralf_1981]

How often and how many water changes do you make in your fish room

[@kismet52]

I would like green cuisine as a more powdery food , my fish love your food. and I enjoy your videos, thank you

[@chris-trading]

omg! so nice, seem to take your inspiration from Dean fishroom! good job!

[@johnjrkean7008]

Idky but once u mentioned that low boy tank first thing that popped in my head was a river style hill stream leaches and good current ......either way rooms bad ass !🤙🏼

[@Ishan.patel.]

Try breeding the Zebra Plecos in a rock pile like the hill streams but add caves between the rocks.

[@justinstarbuck1190]

Nice ram painting

[@thebonkinator]

What lights are you using if you don't mind me asking? I'm building my first aquarium rack and i'd like to avoid most light bars. Cheers from America, Nick! 🎉

[@ChristopherBrooks-k8s]

You should 100% produce a green cuisine that crushes into a powder. I’m struggling to find a vegetarian food suitable for the tiny mouths of juvenile luminatus.

[@BettaFreaks]

silent! my fav show just started 😌

[@Triall00]

What lights are you using on your tanks ?

[@danhogan7156]

I just put a pump in each tank and they are connected to a timer that turns them on 5 minutes per hour and then the float valve in each tank lets the water in to refill. Automatic water changes. Woohoo.

[@fredlanning9373]

Always like watching videos 😊

[@kjaswift]

What type of lights are you using?

[@oldtyme773]

Nick, couldn’t you add a koi pond HMA filter to your water change system. That would remove your chloramine

[@vanessamartin2012]

You fish room looks amazing 😍 definitely do green cuisine crumble and sticks please. I'm using both atm and my fish love it. Can you please try and get cheaper shipping to WA pretty please 🙏

[@knbezz472]

What kind of lights do u use ?

[@cristobalv]

how do u manage to not do water change. lots of plants ?

[@mich421]

I would put some medaka outdoors for some reason they are quite expensive but are super simple to breed

[@gardockis.playground]

Why did you choose cube tanks ? Just curious if it’s for function or .. if it’s for what you like?

[@markh5703]

hey 👋 what brand are the wifi smart plugs?

[@dave7569]

where do you get your tanks?

[@TheGreatOceanDisasterAquariums]

Chloramines will give you a problem if you don't keep on top of them. I am in Canada and last spring the amount of Chloramines in the water increased to the point I had to use 3 times the amount of conditioner to conquer the Ammonia that comes with Chloramines. Ammonia was still at lethal levels with a single dose and close to lethal at a double dose (so certainly a problem for sensitive fish). I called up the water treatment place to hear a scripted response that the "water is safe for human consumption". I suspect the Australian Government is no different than the Canadian Government in their ability to conduct studies that get a desired result. Anyways, as a breeder I recommend you pay attention and test ammonia in the water as it comes out of the tap. I don't want to see a video in the spring of high losses.

[@cruise.risingsoul]

awesome content as always bro!

[@cortlynnelliott1797]

The fish can hear you they speak english 😂l
