It's another busy work day at Cory's fish room! Master breeder Dean finally opened the giant box containing the ultra clear 125-gallon fish tank from Custom Aquariums, and Bob Steenfott also showed up to lend a helping hand. Afterwards, Dean replaced the faulty utility sink faucet that was impossible to use, while Cory assembled a brand-new rolling stool that will be perfect for working in the fish room. See all they were able to accomplish, as well as get an update on how the fish are doing.

Dean is so chill. What an awesome friend to have!!

[@darrylgretton6255]

Shoutout to Bob for coming over to lift the tank and then bailing 😂

[@deansfishroom]

I know you are probably joking, but Bob is a great help. I'm not able to lift a tank that size anymore, a quick call to Bob and he was there to help. Plus he loaded up all the wood from the shipping crate to re-use for projects at his place.

[@darrylgretton6255]

@deansfishroom yes, definitely joking. Good to know Bob is on hand to help and got a little reward for helping out.

[@LeilaSoleil]

Oh I want Bob. He seems super helpful and nice. @@deansfishroom

[@carlosaguilera2959]

Always a joy to see Dean loving to work on aquariums and talk fish with a smile. A true treasure to anyone who experiences it.

[@pagewhite8177]

Dean is so fun to watch/listen to. This was a really enjoyable, entertaining video. I can’t wait to see what you do with the new tank. Thanks Cory.

[@DonnaArnold1981]

I really enjoy watching when Dean is around. He is such a great guy, so calm, chilled out, a real helpful handyman and looks like a great friend to you Cory. Enjoy these vlogs and loving that you’re doing more of them. I left a message on the live stream to say congratulations on hitting the 1 million milestone but couldn’t stay around to watch. Which was a bummer for me but hope you all had fun celebrating 🎉

[@errk25]

A day playing in the fish room with a friend and then Mexican food.. Sounds wonderful.

[@ChucksFeeesh]

Aquarium Co-op wouldnt be what it is today, without Mr. Dean. What a guy!

[@user-qu1no4pv2l]

Sacramento Aquarium Society meetings are the first Saturday of the month! We would be over the moon happy to have you come by. We are having our big "Findig" 06/22 and 06/23!

[@thedude7319]

03:50 you have an harness you can get for lifting heavy stuff. you strap it on and it rest on the shoulders and upper back thus saving your lower back, you only have one

[@HudsonPhillips1]

Hey Cory, I would love to see a video demonstrating different flow rates in an aquarium using dye or something of the sort. I sometimes struggle knowing what is truly “low flow” or “high flow” as well as how the dynamics of flow change depending on hardscape and plants. Thank you!

[@AquariumCoop]

I have considered this as well. Just need to find a good way to display it. I'm sure with some practice and different colors of dye, I could make something, emptying the aquarium each time.

[@Heterogeneity]

This is a great idea for a collaboration! Maybe @NFTI or someone like that would be interested?

[@Redkoolaid402]

5:24 Dean the magician making the drill disappear for a second?

[@AquariumCoop]

Looks like a glitch in the rendering of the video :(

[@Heterogeneity]

Just let us believe Dean is a magician! So glad to see the band back together.@@AquariumCoop

I get ridiculously excited for Dean’s commercials 😂

Reminds me of a son holding the flashlight for his dad lol

Got my aquarium co op package while watching this video

[@Heterogeneity]

"When you apply newer technologies to what has been done in the past" Cory this is something really cool and unique about your approach to developing aquarium equipment. Thanks so much for sharing your practical curiosity!

[@mlrausch7708]

DEAN!! Always nice to have some extra Dean on screen. Those are nice chairs. Another great video! Thanks for sharing it.

[@assiahinarkansas]

Great to see you in the fishroom with Dean

[@cajanir]

Here I am watching the Easy Flow Sponge in this video, having just set up mine yesterday. It works exactly as described but the crazy part is that it actually looks kind of cool in my Mbuna tank.

[@molamola7093]

Your fish room is so beautiful. I love seeing the evolution over time.

Dean and Cory in the fish room! As good as life gets!

[@urbansk8r231]

Any excuse to have Dean on is fine by me. Your man(family) cave is coming along. When both of you bounce ideas off each other = a learning experience for us. I 'm a type of person that if the hardware/diy store is out of a product that I'm after, I then walk the isles wondering what other item I can retro fit to make it work, but at same time look like a pro job. And not a duct tape job.

[@bradsmithstudios8881]

I wish I could hang out with you guys during a project like this. I'm sure I'm not alone on that.

[@cyndifalk]

Love my Aquarium Coop Re-Runs 🙂!

[@AaronLint-jk7po]

Dean has to do everything.

[@tonyhernandez2730]

Should've put the sprayer valve in the front and the sprayer closer to the wall. That way your faucet can swivel 180°. The way you guys installed it us the reason why it can swing over as far.

[@craigquinn8225]

I steal my kids old gaming/computer chairs for my fish room. I've only got 3 tanks. but the computer chairs are awesome lol

[@j.l.c526]

I need a Dean in my life!

[@cmaddog]

So sorry to hear the passing of Murphy. My Dad while he could still get out, would gladly drive up from Puyallup to see him. He was a great ambassador and awesome fish.

[@alessiaavalone6396]

Dean is a legend, love it when he’s in the videos. What an amazing person to have on hand in the fish room. What would you do without him! 😍

[@nathanjohn3713]

South Coast Tropical Fish Society would be honored to have you visit us! We have a few great clubs in the region that are a hop - skip- and a jump away from us too!

[@edpereira1908]

I had an air driven hang on the back filter, yes I'm that old...lol

[@jimmyreese4740]

Another awesome video you can never go wrong with Cory and Dean in the fish room!!!! Thanks for y’all do and teaching us.

[@ABAquatics187]

about time seen dean again love it

[@Zathul4198]

Thank you for the new videos! I’m a little demoralized about the hobby right now, because my new tank just got ich as I was in the middle of cycling it. Tested my parameters: no ammonia, nitrate, or nitrite in the water. Thanks to your instructions, I was able to start dosing Ich-X and it was working well. Day 3 however, after having the worst day at work, I just looked at my tank to find the heater cracked and close to letting in water (saw bubbling coming from the crack). I immediately unplugged it, but now my cherry barbs will be without a heater for nearly 24 hours before I can go exchange this barely week old heater. This also means I won’t be able to dose Ich-x today due to the tap water significantly dropping the water temp, and having to do a water change before this next dose. Frustrating times, but I know I owe it to those adorable little cherry barbs to keep them alive. I’m trying!

[@sewerrat7612]

I like how you guys initially put handles on wrong

[@thedude7319]

02:45 great mentality, you can do so much with that pakking material

[@paulmccarthy7467]

Great video, good to see Dean back. Enjoy watching love the new tank. That new chair looks awesome..the tanks are looking really nice good job

[@jeromehorn7333]

I'd like a live aquarium plants sign!

[@usnavyseal77]

Great video! I also love my rolling fish room chair. I made mine diy and made a post on the coop forum about how I did it. :)

[@string_bean_6666]

can dean be in every fishroom video?😂

[@SaarAquatics]

Dean had an education, now he is the screw master 😅

[@vampgaia]

Is there anything Dean can't do?!? He has such a wealth of knowledge. I hope you can get him to speak to the club.

[@NebraskaSXHC]

Your tanks are looking exceptional.

[@kathywhite4547]

I wish I had Dean to help me set things up.

[@kathywhite4547]

[@myback4t]

Love you guys❤ I hope we get to see deans beach house/ fish room

[@AquariumCoop]

I've never seen it yet, so who knows.

[@dshobe720]

Lookin good Cory! I really liked your Germany visit. The hot well with exotic fish was super cool to see. Even better than the Israel breeding facility although that was pretty cool too. There is a float valve that you could attatch to your fill hose so it auto shuts off and you dont overflow the tank youre filling. Its a bell float valve just make a pvc "hook" and attatch the float valve to the other end. I use them on pond auto fills cause a toad cant jump on the float in the strainer basket and let the water run.

[@Mr-my2gj]

Could you please make a video on best practices for Bala sharks? I know they’re deceptively difficult and common in pet stores so I’d like to hear your advice and suggestions. Thank you.

The tanks look great Cory 😊

I have an airlift trickle filter... Just because I love trickle filters and I Don't like using multiple power plugs for water pumps.... So I used an airlift for my trickle filter

[@earthgirl7267]

Outstanding Cory & Dean. Good job. 🐟🩵🙌

[@Madd4Exotics]

I just recently got the large Easy Flow Sponge Filter and absolutely love it, If i had any complaint at all is i wish the base was a bit heavier because with a strong flow it leans backwards with the force of the water

[@nicolaifr4905]

Realy love theese vlog type videos

[@Car0linaPh03nix]

So when is the "Live Aquarium Plants" sign going to retail? We want it in our fish rooms too!

Interpet used to do air driven outside filters in two sizes. I remember having them as a 70's kid in Ireland. They weren't great but were better than the standard air driven internal box filters.
