How I maintain a goldfish farm in my basement (my basement flooded)

Dude. I feel so bad for u getting flooded.

[@orangescalefishy1258]

In your 125 gallon you should get a shubunkin or a Sarasa comet, I’ve seen those goldfish and they’re absolutely beautiful

[@redforman27715]

i run my lights for about 5 or 6 hours a day no more it really really helps the algae

Biz Owner/Consultant here: yes 100% outsource the activities that take away from the things that ONLY you can do! Your time is precious, and things like building boxes definitely take away time from the revenue generating activities that only Luke can do! Keep it up though!! As much as I love learning and seeing what it takes to breed Goldies and your humor, I also love cheering you on as you expand your biz! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@izzyxblades]

Luke, would you consider 1. Getting a shop vac capable of vacuuming spilled water, 2. Get Bluetooth controlled switches so that you can separately control the pumps and dehumidifiers, 3. Getting the wires off the floors, attaching them to the walls?

[@SMSSMS-fj5yo]

Safety first

[@stampinturtles]

My husband said he’s gonna get electrocuted. 😢 Get the plugs off the floor. But maybe an auto shut off with a float like toilets have. Luke! You’re an engineer so I’m sure you can figure this out. Also hire someone to help you. ❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@kurtpaulomacapugas8538]

LUKE, Dude !!! Please add this to your list :) :) :)

[@BalloonSC]

Luke is quickly becoming the Uncle Ben of fish keeping.

[@notask_snakue]

Now i wanna see uncle ben and luke meet each other

[@izzyxblades]

For real for real! I love watching both of them so much. There was a long while that I was really disillusioned with Christianity, really disappointed with a lot of Christian leaders in general. But honestly seeing Luke and Ben, just two down to earth Christians who are just kind human beings, it renewed my hope in humanity and Christianity. I guess it was just a long time since I saw Christians that I respected. Both Luke and Ben don't make a super big deal of it, neither of them are preachy, but they both openly share that they are believers. I'm sincerely thankful to just see them share their daily lives

I feel like Jigglypuff would be a fun plushie. Especially if her plushie is just as jiggly as she is.

[@Endergatoesbonito]

YEAHHH

Exactly, and she poops out all those babies

[@emmaemanuelemmanuelandrews5054]

[@ProffesionalZombie12]

I'm not a fan of plushies but I can and will go out of my way to get myself a Jigglypuff plushie.

[@elune43749]

Luke, this type of algae that can be rubbed off is diatom algae that always happens in a new setup. It shouldn't harm the plants too much, but if there is hair algae or black beard algae you have too much light or a nutrient imbalance.

[@volvo09]

I had 2 black common goldfish and they both turned 100% gold in 2 years. They're 5 years old now and the only difference is how deep the orange is. It's crazy how much theor colors change over time. A stripe or goofy spot that's on your fish when you buy it may not be there a year later.

[@dormvella]

I keep trying to convince my husband to let me move to New Hampshire to help you out. It would be a dream to help you with your fish. I would learn so much.

[@chiyo9014]

I think you need to simplify your process or maybe write yourself a checklist to go over for all your procedures so you don't miss anything. I would hate to see something catastrophic happen.

[@Cyclefusionlol]

With any business there will be many fails and successes, luke you got this! Make a jiggly puff Plushy

[@Endergatoesbonito]

YES

[@lucas_is_fishing]

You should name the mini clean that is to the left of your thumb at 7:42 Midas or marigold because it really looks golden!

[@DJTXD123]

Luke please do some videos where you go round each tank for a minute or two so we can look at all the goldfish and appreciate them

[@dnaoutpost6971]

Maybe get a smart timer for a few things. It’s made my life much easier! I’ve got some lights on old school timers because I don’t change them but have pumps ,canister filters on smart. So I can can control them from a different room. Thanks for taking us along your journey 😊

[@FlyingLime]

Still wanna know what happened to the fish hatchery outside. Last I think we heard that the concrete was falling apart or something.

@@Ftf258 i couldn't agree more but how is this gonna help solve world hunger?

[@bummyboy9276]

For the algae on the plants in the planted tank, you maybe can get a Siamese algae eater. They eat algae and don’t attack fish often. Just a recommendation.

[@CRAIGTEMPLATEXCHRIST]

If I lived in the states I would relocate to work here. It’s amazing to see someone so passionate and enthusiastic about their business!

[@wpongtepupathum]

Love your content, Luke! Thanks for making these videos.

[@malachiarmas]

Day 1 of asking Luke to name the planted tank "Tubby Tobey's Potted Plant Ranchu Ranch"

[@erichtomanek4739]

Dumbo, with the funny eyes would make a unique and unforgettable plushie. Good video too!

[@calgy84]

1:12 Ive had that happen just last week. Plugged a pump into a power strip, not realizing I had a hose attached to the outflow of said pump until then the water poured over me and into the power strip I was holding. GFCI tripped and saved me.

[@abs63.]

Luke, Oreo deserves to be the next plushie! God bless, be safe and take care! Abby from NYC

[@aceyyyyyy]

love the long format videos i watch all of them

[@mrdefinite2455]

Name the chunker, Chunker. 😂😂😂

[@izzyxblades]

There's a tropical fish that can clean the algae off the plants, the Otocinclus Catfish is good for detailed algae cleaning. You keep your tanks so warm and water quality so high, i think you can just toss them into the tanks with plants

[@blackdragonwolve8317]

I used to have otos! The problem with them for goldfish though is that the goldfish will constantly harass the otocinclus and the oto actually adds a little bioload into the aquarium which does add to the algae problem. Overall I found the oto to be good at getting forgotten or stuck on algae but if you are having a problem with algae then otos are definitely not the solution they'll become part of the problem

[@izzyxblades]

@@blackdragonwolve8317 yeah it's not to solve an overall algae problem, I was suggesting it to clean the algae off the plant leaves. Luke himself is happy to scrape the algae off the glass, so that's not a problem. In the video his plants have algae on them, and I think the easiest solution is otos

[@blackdragonwolve8317]

@@izzyxblades yeah, I used to do a bleach dip if I had a large problem with algae but after that I kept my parameters, even KH and GH to an absolute T, I used to use both root tabs and liquid fertilizer. That paired with many adjustments with light I met a perfect balance of healthy flourishing plants with no algae in sight. It kept like that only using minor adjustments for 5 years until I dismantled the tank.

[@Twinkley1981]

Jiggling puff needs to be the next plushy as you want it to look different from the tubby Tobey one imo 😊

[@fatumahassan3334]

Ha ha ha😊😊😊

[@arnoldpants5315]

Please make a plush of gizmo! It would be so cute. He's my favorite goldfish when it comes to looks and colorarion

Do Jiggly Puff plushie next.

[@coolgirl-yl6qy]

Jiggly puff and Mr clean need a plushie.

[@nikikeya939]

about the algae on the plants. You got too much light, either add duckweed to make shade, or turn down the light. Also tho: Snails and shrimp or Plecos would be great helps keeping that under control. Been watching MD Fish Tanks, and he specializes in planted tanks.

[@Gremlinsbean]

I think gigachad should be made into a plushy to remember him.

Jiggly Puff is the first fish that came to mind for a plushie. But if you can’t do one for them maybe one of the pet store fish for comparison or someone else who contrasts with Tubby Toby???

[@SupernovaBetty]

There are alarms that react to water and can notify your phone when they go off. Worth thinking about seeing as you put so much time and money into your basement.

[@raiyanhaquesamir7499]

those dorsal fins looks great.

[@amf500]

Venom needs a plush.

[@SMLUNlVERSE]

fr 😮

[@guadaguppy4798]

just a suggestion, maybe you get a co2 test kit just to be sure if the bubbles are actually co2. also maybe a take a ph reading as soon as you pump the water in and another about the time you believe that the co2 is gone. the ph from first reading should be lower and higher on the second that is if its co2. But for more accurate results a test kit would defnitely prove whether you need to be stocking water the way you are. It just seems like a lot of work you have to do.

[@andrewgoldfish]

Wow awesome crazy basement fish farm.

[@TheDumbestOrhi]

I think Staci or Jigglypuff would be the great idea of the new plushie! I would buy it if i wasn't broke lol

Get water detector alarms? MD fish tanks uses them when he is filling his tanks. He sticks them on the side of the tank to the hight he wants it filled too and then goes and does something else instead of waiting, then he hears the alarm and goes and turns off the water

Hi Luke, I am from Brasil and I love your channel and the wonderful man you are. You are a man with God in your life and heart and it is a confort to christians all over The world tô see we are not alone and that are people that are not ashame to talk about God, Jesus Christ and the Holly Spirit. Once you tell that your family is from Armenia and you are very brave people that resists over centuries of persecution from muslins and even the Medz Yeghern in 1915/1923 perpretated by the otomans. The conversion of the kingdom would have occurred in the year 301, making Armenia the first country in the world to officially embrace the Christian religion. Saint Judas Tadeo and Saint Bartholomew will protect Armenia from their enemies for ever.
