[@thekingofdiy]

[@zecorashadowwolf9633]

I am just excited for you to be happy about what your doing with your channel and hobby you do what ever makes you happy it’s not always about us your happiness needs to be considered too

[@AzraelThanatos]

Are there still the plans for expanding the gallery? Also, one other option you might consider for goldfish is to, essentially, rebuild your old oscar setup from before the entire mess with the other building.

[@vikalawa5301]

Hi sir i want you to go back to old joe and all the cool diys stuffs back i recently made by planted tank and i want to make how tos co2 generator ,its troubleshooting and maintenance ,and sir wanted all the low tech solutions thanks

[@jackbishop8052]

Don’t you dare think of quitting bro I’ve been watching for years youtube wouldn’t be the same

[@izzymaxpower]

Why not just vlog. It’s easier

[@justinbuker7511]

Love when people we watch and respect have enough guts to talk freely. Bring back the Joey that's having fun bro. No aspect to small for a video

[@DoubleA815]

Joey I owe a lot of my knowledge of the hobby to you. With that being said do whatever makes you happy. I love keeping up with you and your family as well as the hobby. Whichever you decide you’ll always have my support!

[@bgvcdssx1173]

This person put my thoughts into words so perfectly, ill be hear as support as well

[@taylormwilson1]

Yes sir! Do what makes you happy, I love all the aspects you cover and look forward to whatever video you drop, but BE HAPPY BUD! we're here for you!

[@Lee.Willcox]

Knowing Joey, this will all be different in less than a year 😆 He is nuts, in the best possible way. Nuts all the same. As soon as he finishes, he will take it all down and start again. Oh, this is a 10 month old video. My prediction is correct even though 10 months late 😎😝😆 Joey is nuts !

[@spyman304]

As someone who doesn’t currently have fish or even pets at the moment, I’m living vicariously thru your hobby. Your enthusiasm is awesome and love your content. Just keep doing your thing and I’ll keep watching.

[@ryanadc7424]

Joey, I’d be happy to watch and support whatever you do. At the end of the day you should do whatever makes you happy and brings you joy in your work. As a marine biologist I’ve found your videos really informative and interesting and I always find myself drawn to both your current content and your older diy videos. You’ve through your videos I’ve been able to learn and grow my areas of interest and your responsible for my love in freshwater aquatic life. Your videos are amazing and your a great person.

[@adam09n]

Bring back the regular videos/vlog I need that in my day again. I love what you do I have the book on it and it keeps me engaged in all my hobbies.

[@danielclark4000]

If "old Joey" is "happy Joey," then go back to "old Joey." The fish/content is just a part of the equation. You, your energy, and your personality is why I continue to tune in.

[@philcarlino6942]

I’ve been here since the beginning and I’m not going anywhere. You’ve taught me so much and I am so grateful. We have never met but you feel like family. Love you, Joey. Take care.

[@Eli-pz4wz]

There’s something for everyone in this hobby, there will always be people who love what you post, and I always love learning from watching you do things.

[@Boylei]

Stoked for the vlog style videos to come back. I’ve enjoyed it all, but that format was my favorite. Keep it up, Joey!

[@covhu4837]

Hes speakinf fax

[@loliwon2]

You do you man i've been watching you for years and it dosn't matter how your video ends up it's always a good time watching! I started studying and saving since 4 years ago to start my own LFS. Watching your videos helped push me over the edge to cement this goal and inspire me to help the hobby in ways that the chain stores don't. So at the end of the day if Joey is happy with what he's doing know that others share mutual feelings.

[@onixium1]

Been watching you for YEARS. Of course I would love you to go back to your videos. But at the end of the day your happieness is whats most important. Half of the reason I got hooked on your videos was your infectious upbeat personality thats passionate about your hobby and seeing it through your videos. So for me, I want you to do what makes you happy!

[@RegularDudeAquariums]

Every time I feel like I'm slipping a bit from the enjoyment of fish keeping I'll watch your videos and the enthusiasm you show toward the hobby re-energizes me! It would be a shame to lose you from KZbin, Joey. But you gotta do what you gotta do man. Thanks for everything you've inspired me to do in my own Fish Room. You'll always be the King DIY in my book.

[@BrumGP]

Hey man don't quit.... love your videos all the way from the beginning! Keep going - Keep showing us how you build all your fish stuff.

[@justinbuker7511]

My man we will be here for whenever or whatever you share with us. Don't stress about a passion. We are blessed to have any of your content and feel like a part of it.

[@benreynen8739]

Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, this is better than anything on TV. It’s just nice to watch someone else having fun in the hobby!

[@benedwards3343]

You’ve taught me so much Joey, I started this hobby in my college apartment and it grew to every corner of the place. You’ve single handedly saved some of my bigger fish. When I didn’t know how to do something I’d come to you. You are an incredible inspiration for me especially showing that your past doesn’t define you. I love watching whatever you decide makes you happy. The last thing anyone wants here is for you to feel like this is a chore. The best part about your videos is your energy!

[@chrisconnelly9327]

Keep up the great work inspiring hobbiest however works best for you. Your videos grew my internet into a fish room. Thank you for all your content.

[@Cassanova401]

I have to agree with the majority of comments in this video. I owe most of my knowledge to you and this channel, I always get excited when I see you have dropped a video. Do what makes you happy, I bloody love this channel, and everything you do. Up for the ride ... LETS GO

[@chumoua6086]

Hey Joey! I’ve been an avid watcher since I was about 14-15 and I’m about to be 24 now. Do your thing man!! I think the real King of DIY fans will be pleased at any moment you post a video.

[@juurviljasupp]

I was out of the hobby for a decade. So, when I came back, I knew I wanted to do it bigger and better. I used a lot of your videos to help me set up my two 140 gallon DIY setups. And, following your lead, I was even thinking about making a video to show the community how I did my specific DIY to give more people ideas and knowledge in the future. We're all growing in the hobby together in this way, and I'm so glad you've been here to help me along. Thank you.

[@alessandrosirro4986]

Joey. I started my aquarium setup and maintenance company because of you. Thank you for teaching me throughout these years.

[@davidyost6232]

I originally found and stayed with your channel for your DIY and all the information you had to share. I have enjoyed seeing your growth and how far you have come but have really missed learning more from you. I am 100% behind you going back to your older style of video. I enjoy watching you build, talk through your build and then see it in action and how it is doing down the road. What ever you do I will keep watching.

[@PeaceKaChu]

I just love being here along for the ride with all these fun fish projects and have inspired me to DIY whenever I can in my hobby. Keep doing you Joey! I loved the old technical diy making videos and loved the newer vloging style too, like you said its that parasocial sharing of something that excites you about this hobby that has made me a long time fan.

[@comesback10fold]

Your charisma is what makes this channel great. If what you're doing is making you happy, it'll be good and we'll watch it. Do what makes you excited.

[@fabio1060]

I remember those pre-pandemic times! I watched all your videos. I still do. I'm all here to go back to those almost daily updates man! Looking forward beeing your friend you show around. All the best from switzerland!

[@Aj-ot2lt]

Don’t quit KZbin! I’ve learned so much and got into this hobby because of your videos. The diy aspect of the channel gave me and I’m sure a lot of people ideas and better ways to change the hobby! Go with whatever makes you happy!

[@dennisplummer5370]

Joey, I love the videos where you change a filter, make a stand, or just general maintenance, even just moving fish around, you have been an influence to so many people, do what makes you happy. 😊

[@dannyfriedl5829]

Hey Joey don't give up just keep doing it because I'm learning a lot from you

[@CaptainPoppin]

Your videos have been one of the driving forces getting me into the hobby. Whatever kind of content you decide to make, do it. I'll still watch. :)

[@selvansegaran9420]

Go back the old Joey! I look forward to watching your videos every week. It's been a while Joey! Happy to see you and most of the tanks!

[@elrapper13]

I would love to see all the DIY projects again! I believe we all get a lot of inspiration from them! I’m honestly looking forward to it. Go for it!!! Pre pandemic videos were awesome! I still go back to them now!

[@wmars4655]

I 2nd that I just cut up an old fish tank and built it into a 100 gallon euro braced frag tank thanks to your inspiration but you do what makes you happy my friend.

[@kristiemoore7741]

Please don't stop, I don't care anything you want to talk about we will watch!!!!

[@crzyd44]

Joey! Please keep updating. You've inspired me SO MUCH to get my own aquarium... I say keep going with what you need to do. You're a huge inspiration man!

[@sjjimenez9862]

You are the reason I discovered Fishtube. Your passion is unmatched and continues to be a spot of sunshine in the hobby for me when I need inspiration!

[@jeffmccumber4131]

Joey, I've always thought of myself as a friend going along for the ride. There are no expectations here - I just enjoy having a window into you enjoying your hobby and sharing in your passion for fish keeping.

[@shelleoshelle7252]

Be the Joey you need to be. You are an excellent example of sharing what you love. I really enjoy daily videos.

[@amberhalvorsen7197]

I loved going for the ride with you!!! I enjoy the “feature” videos but I love the more clog style even if they are short! It much more fun I can’t wait to get caught up on everything that’s is happening!!! KZbin is sooooooo far behind lol! Love your content, enthusiasm, and passion!!

[@dianewurzer3019]

Thanks!

[@thekingofdiy]

Thank you Diane!!

[@mitchell609]

Just do it Joey. I loved seeing all the little things, the ideas, the small details, it’s what created your channel. It’s thanks to you that I am able to afford to keep as many fish as I have, as healthy as I have. My best tanks have some of your DIY creations. I still remember your videos covering your past and seeing where you are now. It’s because of videos like those that we all felt welcomed and free to share our thoughts with you. I hope you can rekindle your flame with KZbin.

[@taconabozell]

Me and my kids have always loved watching your videos. Do what makes you happy. Because the happy Joey is the one we like to watch. You make learning how to keep fish and breathe fish and DIY for fish fun. You've come a long way. Sometimes you got to go full circle. Keep being you.

[@mikewhalley111]

Hey Joey. I have been following you for years. What ever you decide we are with you. Keep up the good work

[@jeremiahfleener6691]

Personally I enjoy all your videos, but the ones you first done were what made me start following you in the first place. All the DIY stuff helped me in the hobby, with out your videos personally I wouldn’t have been able to afford to buy all the stuff needed. So thank you!

[@charlesdavis2891]

We just like watching you enjoy the hobby, however that is. Just love your channel and your passion. Your DIY is why we started watching. And huge projects aren't needed, I can't do huge projects as I'm sure most of your viewers can't. I enjoy the stuff I can do at home to improve my hobby. Keep it up Joey and put your happiness first. The rest will follow.

[@GlammedGabs]

I’ve always loved your channel and I don’t even have fish. I’m on KZbin primarily for makeup content and somehow one day ended up on your fish page and I’ve been watching for 3 years now. Do your videos however you want. You being you and loving your hobby is what will keep people here.

[@michaelb1429]

I think you need more projects, those are always my favorite. The indoor concrete tank was awesome watching, maybe a gallery expansion in the future?

[@samahiqbal1865]

You do what makes you happy. I got a fish tank 10 years ago and have kept it going and still learning always doing something new to it thanks to you!! Love what you do what ever you do keep it going xx

[@DavidWoolever]

You’re the main reason I got back into the hobby after years of being away. You do whatever you want to do, I assure you, we’ll be there 💪

[@itswhathappensyo]

I love your deep dives into specific matters. I love learning about the different filter media, advice for new Fishkeepers, ideas on how to make water changes easier, everything about one specific fish (like frank lol,what they eat, how to sex, how to breed, recommendations on what should go in the tank)

[@TogarStonefist]

Joey, I've been with you since you were still building the 2000G aquarium. I've seen all the highs and lows since then and throughout all of it I've been so engaged and interested in it that it made me re-discover my love for this hobby. I cannot thank you enough for the positive impact you have had on me, and on other members of the community who value your expertise and compassion for this hobby. We all love you. I will not lie, however, that the last couple of years the experience on the channel hasn't been as engaging as it was before the pandemic when, like you said, you were doing "blog-esque" videos. Over the years I noticed how less and less videos were uploaded to the channel and it didn't bother me, the content was engaging and I understand how life can be. Then after a while it felt like more fun content was being published on other platforms like Insta or on a livestream, and the channel itself was missing out on that fun/updates. Now with the release of this video I know why that was the case, and I completely understand. If you're not engaged with the content you're producing, then why bother? I get it. At the end of the day this is your channel; you run it how you want to, and as long as you're engaged, comfortable, and having fun then the rest of us will be too.

[@rastamcknightdr]

I rarely comment, but this video is bringing me out of the woods. I hope you run with your inspiration of the old DIY Joey Mullen. I've been following for almost a decade & you, your content, your book, your dedication/passion, & your ability to keep it real through the highs & lows of life & the hobby have inspired me to keep flame alive in my own life. I wouldn't be keeping fish, plants, & most importantly bacteria (cycled tanks) to this day if it wasn't for you. Thank you for doing what you do! Vlog away brotha! You're making a wave & we all want to ride with you!!!

[@stefanovanenio]

I started watching you maybe 6 years ago. I've seen the highs and lows that you have shared with us and feel that I know you quite well, you make such great videos, I love the DIY videos and I love the science ones, but ultimately I love watching you have fun with the hobby, after all that's why we do it....so do what you feel is right, 1.4 million followers.....you are doing something right.

[@toddsikkes7288]

The hobby is fascinating, but Joey, you are the reason to watch. Your passion and excitement bring joy to see. Thank you

[@chuckskizzie3645]

Ready to see the "Old" Joey come back. Have loved the adventure we have been on and will continue to always support you!!

[@waynearcher5627]

Joey you do have to do what makes you happy as a lot have already said ,I would still love to see your youtube videos. I look forward to keeping up with your latest project and the latest news in your world. You always bring a smile to my face and i adore your positivity in the hobby. I have learnt so much from your channel. Looking forward to seeing what's next for you.

[@figurassicart]

It's not just a fish keeping channel. It's actually you became a part of our life. The passion, the positivity, the hype, the excitement, and the new projects and ideas that you bring to this hobby that we love. We always learn a lot from these videos.

[@davidrobinson9913]

Joey you should never ever think about quitting doing videos as I watch them all the time it inspires me to do stuff in my tank I had to stop the Hobby for a little while and one of your videos popped up as I was not unsubscribed it made me go out and go and get another tank and get back into the Hobby no I have been back in it for so many years and I enjoy it thank you so much

[@ImpulsivePlay3r]

Dude, iv’e watched you from the start Jesus it’s been a very long time, when I say this I speak on behalf of most of your fan base do what feels right for you and makes you happy because as long as you are happy you are giving out the best content for this hobby. Basically we love you

[@keithcolley3837]

Well said, I've been here since the DIY overflow video and the high energy vlog Joey videos are this channel at its best

[@KevinnPOV]

sometimes, simplicity is the best policy :) lookin' great Joey and love the new idea too!

[@llanosmichael_9-sj657]

Joey actually here in Asia keeping goldfish in warm temperature is way more preferred than cooler temperatures, but I think that's because they were raised in warm temperature when they were bred as for your place they might have been raised in cooler temperatures.

[@sandihill]

Yes please love the old format, please bring it back. Very much miss the old format, I learnt so much 💗🤗🌻

[@TheHobbyNerd]

I have to say asside from all the great info and living vicariously through you, your passion for the hobby is why I am here. Do what makes you happy and keeps that fire burning inside you. I appreciate not just the information and learning but also the entertainment. You are keeping my marriage peaceful. If you stop, I am going to have to start building more tanks all over my house. We are here for the fish, but we are also here to see you.

[@jtm71]

Joey the Therapist

[@iamhowiam2862]

I’m a new fish keeper and I’ve skimmed through your channel. Old and new videos have been very informative. I haven’t seen anything in your channel that was way off topic. I’ve enjoyed every video. I’m sure anything that you bring to the table will be good. Your ideas all sound interesting and I’m in for the ride, let’s go!

[@msmrx57]

You have to do what makes you happy. When you are doing things in a way that you enjoy it shows. I've always loved the natural energy and pure joy you share for the hobby.

[@WhoaBroGaming]

I think you’ve somewhat forgotten that most of us aren’t watching your videos just to see what you’re doing. It’s to see you my guy. Walk around with the camera show everything who cares. Limit the editing. We’re happy to see you man

[@rickyauch9889]

I have watched your videos basically since you started posting them. I just want to let you know i absolutely love and appreciate everything you do. I will continue to watch no matter what type of video's you upload. Watching your new videos has become a routine in my household. Thanks for all you do.

[@zachvickers3594]

Joey glad to see you back at it. I remember listening to your story about overcoming all of the obstacles you have with the help of this hobby. Do whatever is best for your mental health, however i wanna say if you stay, we're glad to have you with us. You've helped nurture a loving and knowledgeable community. Thank you for everything you do and stay strong!

[@leonlafond5859]

Do what makes you happy !!! More fun and seeing those projects come ro life is what made you the King of DIY !!!

[@Mugsybitsy]

Keep doing what makes you happy! Learned a lot from your older videos….always go back to the old stuff!

[@keithcolley3837]

I'm so pumped! I've wanted the King of DIY back for years!!

[@amyvalentin3080]

Please don’t go! I’ve only been in the hobby for 10 months but passionately for 4, and I owe a lot of that to you and other youtubers. Your content is fun even when you are just rambling about the things that happened to you even when they don’t go right. You are REAL and we like that. Keep them coming.

[@jacobenade3115]

Bring back the king of DIY!!! I subscribed years ago because of DIY projects. How to make a glass tank or acrilic. What glass thicknesses to use at what volumes. Learning about what species fish goes with other and why ext. Through your channel i fell in love with fish keeping and everything i know. I learned here.

[@Simcha6424]

My husband and I look forward to your videos. It honestly doesn’t matter the formats of how you do them. We love learning new things and seeing new things. Be you. Do videos how you love to.

[@kurbymcdonald5629]

How many times I've gone back to your older videos to make an old school aquarium fix. (And was made in a pinch and have now have worked slowly over to all my tanks) 6 tanks now. I've loved watching you build your dream. Please don't let social media kill who you are. Do wot makes you happy. Buddy would be proud of you. The way you put fish care and realalistic tank size across in the hobby is amazing. Only a few aquarium channels I watch. Because as I found when I worked in a fish store people don't have a clue. I started with gold fish and soon learnt from 1 of our videos they make a mess and they need space. Long store short , you do you man!! cos I'll watch either way😁😁

[@Sondreign]

The vlog style is so much fun, I’m looking forward to getting all the behind the scenes stuff again!

[@midwestmonsterhunter6034]

I'm sure most people just want you to do what makes you happy man. We will always be here to watch! Just don't lose your passion.

[@REV19XX]

Because of your videos my life has changed. It has kept me going in times when I could not enjoy the hobby myself because of moving so often. I finally have a place to call my own and be able to pull all my stuff out of storage to get going again. Your inspiration has probably stretched further than you've ever imagined. Thanks you!!!

[@o3madlad179]

Seeing someone so excited about what they do inspires me to find that as my own. You should be able to do whatever makes you happy. Everytime you see negative things just remember there seemingly is a lot more positive things you've provided to this community. Thank you, I recently rewatched your older videos to see how you evolved. It's something I and I'm sure other people are as well are very interested in. So anything you do I'm sure people will watch!

[@midwesttactics675]

I missed the old style of videos and will be happy to see them come back

[@coreyronson2171]

Do what makes you happy your viewers will adjust and the others will disappear and be replaced. Your putting out a product we enjoy. Been watching for a couple years. I will be watching for hopefully more.

[@nerfman99999999]

you were one of the reasons I got into the hobby with all the knowledge I have gained from your channel! I hope you stay I enjoy all your videos!

[@jenc.4386]

Just want to show you some love! Of course we want to see all the videos you post! I have learned so much from you. I have had so much more success when I have your videos as a reference. I always thought it was extremely helpful the way you showed every step in detail and made each project very easy to follow. But, we all need to sometime take a break in order to come back better than ever. I hope you stay the course and keep inspiring hobbyists. Thank you for your honesty. ❤️

[@jomarrosario8962]

It's amazing how times flies, even from this video til now. It's awsome and a privilege to see how you have evolved as well as your channel

[@vivienleigh4640]

It's good to see that you seem to be on track again, to see that sparkle and joy.

[@hunterdeveau3499]

There was a point in time where I was getting all of my knowledge from you and the diy was so informational and helpful in my start ups and for all the times I wanted to do something myself. You should absolutely go back to that and maybe even remake some old diy’s. Love your diy content

[@yaboigetnocct8320]

One thing I love is sitting down on the weekend after work and checking up on the KZbin feed and seeing you made a new video, I love this stuff and I look forward to seeing the vlogs!

[@Dadof32023]

I will support you regardless of what you want. :) You are the reason i felt comfortable making my own sump, drilling my aquarium. running a fully planted aquarium and only needing to top the water off because levels wouldn't go up was virtually self sustaining. I love it and love all videos you make.

[@manuelibanez3746]

Watching your channel has been something that brings me joy. It helps me with my anxiety so whatever direction you choose to go is cool with me 🐠

[@Mikey-tm5sg]

The King of DIY... Joey... I just like watching your videos and seeing your tanks/fish/new build projects. Whether you're ranting or dropping knowledge. Pure and simple, they're entertaining. Old Joey... New Joey... Just make videos you want to make. High quality/low quality, doesn't matter. As long as you enjoy what you're doing you'll always be winning and I'll keep watching. Just do you, peace and love bro!

[@ThedeadCrowz]

The reason I joined was because you had so much joy in what you where doing and honestly I'd rather watch someone having fun then someone just doing what makes them unhappy, so I'd say do whatever you need in order for you to enjoy your life and hobby.

[@CullenKawano]

The knowledge and increased joy that we get from your videos is because of the real you that drew us in and became our friend. I love your content in every way you present it. Do what makes you happy and all your friends will stick around. no matter where you decide to go i'll keep watching... BTW we are already at 13K when I am commenting so... lol I guess we know that we love you!! Mahalo and Aloha

[@bramgroot5299]

Joey, I watch a lot of fish keepers but I think that you make the most helpful en best vids. I also think you make the most amazing aquariums. And I do not care if you make vids the old way or if you are just going to continue with the vids you make now. Just do with what feels good to you.

[@timothyvaughan7974]

Joey we love you brother and we will follow you where ever you take us but I do miss the diy's and the daily vlogs. I've been watching for years and you were the first channel on KZbin I watched when I first started my aquarium hobby. I just want to thank you for all the knowledge I have gained through you and this channel. 🤘💚💙

[@SFLongboarders]

Dont use much of social media at all anymore, including youtube, to the point where I dont have the apps anymore ; However, I go on youtube from safari just to look up if Joey put up a new video. Been watching since I wanted to build my own tanks 8 years ago, your energy is the reason I watch. I could tell you were holding back for a while, Im glad to see you reignite that passion! Best wishes from Florida!

[@jmans_stuff4654]

Mate, I have learnt and implemented SO much of what you’ve created. I went from no fish to 7 tanks, with everything from Oscars to guppy’s. I’ve made sumps and fixed tanks from zero knowledge, just from info from your videos. I confidently believe I know more than your average hobbyists, and a lot of that is thanks to your content. So please keep it coming, in whatever form you choose. There will always be value for someone (beginner or advanced) in the vids you produce. As long as you are having fun! 👍

[@adammcinnes5615]

I started watching your channel for the DIY videos, and I would be happy to see that again. Having said that, I do enjoy seeing updates on the gallery every once in a while, so please do keep doing those when you feel inspired to do them.

[@nelbamblett6241]

So glad to be seeing the return of the original Joey! Glad you've done an update cuz it's been a while since I've tuned in. Big or small I loved your videos and am glad to be seeing you again.

[@sg.aquatics]

tbh i have been missing the old one, i have been off the channel a bit for a while because it hasnt been my vibe that much. So happy to hear this :D

[@aungkyawzin1240]

You should do what makes you the most happy. Your videos being confidence to others in the same hobby. Plus, your DIY projects are awe-inspiring.

[@elizabethneuberger1332]

I got into watching the channel because of your videos on plywood tanks…which I took and used to build my reptile enclosures. I would watch videos like that any day.

[@nathanst66]

Joey I love watching you excited about whatever your doing!!! This hobby is forsure a favorite and I love keeping fish but I love watching your videos! To be honest my absolute favorite videos are the one where you diy anything!!! BBBUUUTTT watching you doing anything that you obviously really like are my favorite! It dosnt matter what you do do what makes you happy!
