BIG FISH ROOM MAKEOVER??

[@RyoWatanabee]

I will be posting videos and progress of the fish room build on my Instagram so follow me @ryowatanabee if you haven’t already. The insulation and walls should be going in very very soon, I promise!! Maybe you'll start seeing it in the next few weeks.

[@kennethmacleod111]

Build a wooden frame around the pond and add wood panels, cheapest is usually fencing materials, plants along the sides and back and pale coloured gravel on the bottom will hide the blue pond and make the goldfish stand out better.

[@ReneesZooTube]

Definitely raise the pond up on cinder blocks if you can. It will make for much easier and more enjoyable viewing and much easier maintenance.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yes, I mentioned I’ll be doing that in my last video

[@ReneesZooTube]

@@RyoWatanabee Oops! Sorry I missed that. 😊 Looking forward to seeing how it all turns out.

[@aquariumplantman]

Hey Ryo, you got a heap happening by the looks of things. Get some nice planted scapes happening again mate. 🌿

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thanks Pete, I’m not setting any tanks up until I get the walls and insulation in. Next vid or the vid after you’ll see walls and I’ll start getting some tanks set up again

[@marcus1031]

The floating plant in your tank is Ceratopteris Cornuta.. Ceratopteris Pteridoides will be perfect if you manage to get one.

[@RyoWatanabee]

I have both. They are doing great

[@vyxrgz]

I've really enjoyed watching your fish room evolve over time. I did want to mention, however, that camallanus worms have a direct life cycle and are ovoviviparous, so if one rainbow was infected, so are all the others plus any other fish that have contacted that tank. You will need to treat them all to avoid a massive infection. Moving plants from one tank from another also likely transferred larvae to some of your other tanks.

[@michaelhagan9678]

Yellow labs and denisoni would look amazing.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Exactly what I’m thinking. You mean demasoni right?

[@michaelhagan9678]

@@RyoWatanabee yes not sure why it put denisoni.

[@LeilaSoleil]

Ryo's Epic Fish Room is coming our way SOON!! Love it, buddy.

[@RyoWatanabee]

For sure! Next vid is a fun one :)

[@LeilaSoleil]

@@RyoWatanabee I CAN'T WAIT! And you just take your time with the Epic Fish Room build. You do not need to hurry for us. Time and money are hard to come by, so use it wisely. ;) Your inspiration will come more freely if you don't rush yourself. We will be patient.

[@_sajju_x3]

Nice video bro

[@ReneesZooTube]

Not sure if you have them, but a wet/dry shop vacuum can help you get the rest of the water out from the bottom of the tanks.

[@sanjivanibhatambreudgir3658]

I know those rocks I have them when you put them in aquarium the water becomes dirty

[@unusualaquariumecosystems5805]

Try doing a gardening video too.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yeah, I'll do those on the members section. It doesn't match with the genre/theme of my channel

[@easyteh4getperson]

if the windows are single-paned, u can put double-paned windows for more insulation. only if u have extra cash lying around tho.

Would Love to see a medaka farm

[@sdqsdq6274]

ah blue tub , maybe you can epoxy waterproofing or pondliner the internal black, i bought this type of tub before i think its laguna brand and it comes in black

[@Natquascape]

Hi Ryo! How's it going....bro....you have sooo much space in that room. You can create some amazing scapes. I agree, rescape the tank. You could put in some insulated flooring and paint the whole place....would look epic.

[@RyoWatanabee]

Thank you :) I'm excited to get some tanks up and running soon

[@PULAG]

Only $1/gal. I've ever seen was at PetCo and it's not always happening. Like 2 or 3 certain times a year, I believe.

[@suejudith2009]

I enjoy seeing your fish room grow and evolve! Btw, I’ve never seen the $1 per gal sale apply to larger tanks so don’t feel so left out lol. 🌱🐌🐟💕

[@michaelhagan9678]

75 gallon is the biggest I've ever seen.

[@SteveKirkwood82]

Can't wait to see the new setup!

[@namankashyap5380]

I know you are inspired from MD fish tanks. Bro but you are doing great. Keep it up dude.

[@077hercules]

What not to do ..... Don't know if you noticed but MD's Fish tanks look great when he create's them, but after two weeks they are all without exception a disaster of allgae, overgrown plants , dying fish etc etc .....

[@rara5212]

@@077hercules didn't realize that many fishes die at MD.

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

@@077hercules I think he plants too much from the start so it looks good for us. Instead of waiting to grow in naturally. It ends up a jungle! It's weird b/c I've never had algae problems and I leave my lights on for like 12 hours (sometimes more haha). Oh and how many fish die? I know he casually mentions some dying or disappearing and doesn't seem to care too much, but it doesn't seem too often.

[@tomd3337]

@@rara5212 there isnt many fish thay die with him at all ! His tanks end up with algae but that's due to alot of them being new everyone's tanks get algae his older tanks that are full of plants get no algae at all

[@brianmarshall1762]

Your plant at 10:30 looks like broad leaf Indian water fern. (Ceratopteris thalictroides) I have some but the leaves on mine are not as wide as that one. Narrow leaf Indian water fern looks pretty good too if you can get some of them. Edit, just had a thought, perhaps the leaves might be so broad if they’re growing on the surface?

[@khgn1234]

Keep going on my friend, great video's

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

Your fish room looks pretty good considering you are under construction, very cool video! Can't wait to see your pond when you get it set up!!!

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

You can’t heat or cool that room because there’s literally no insulation in that room. You need to break down the room and insulate. Japanese windows are single pane so you’ll lose so much heat or cooling through the window. Condensation is going to be your worse enemy in that type of building and it’ll create tons of mold

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yup, I’ve already got plans for the window and I have customs lids on every tank. Plus I can get a dehumidifier. And if you watch long enough, I mention that I will be insulating this room

[@LeilaSoleil]

Ryo's got this.

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

@@RyoWatanabee ya 30F nights in the winter is no joke

[@anthonyl5600]

Proper way to do the room would be to use double glazed Windows, spray foam walls, with HRV system. Drywall should be Mould resistant.

[@takahiroyoshiyuki]

@@anthonyl5600 this isn’t America a lot of Japanese houses arent built to last. But Ryo’s place is a typical Japanese sheet metal storage space. Most people in Japan literally let houses waste away and demolish and build a new house or just turns into an Akiya. Right now my summer house is a built out shipping container that was slid under an Akiya house’s overhang (the framed structure is still sound) but the walls and interior are not.

[@wowagt4589]

Wow

[@darrylmoore5847]

Great video. The pond is going to be awesome.

[@adam6am]

Have you ever considered doing a dirtied tank? I've just tried it, and I'm getting better plant growth than I have in my other two tanks. I think all my setups in future will be dirtied (better water stability too).

[@RyoWatanabee]

Yeah, but what happens when you want to pull a plant out? I may consider doing a dirted nano bowl aquarium

[@adam6am]

@@RyoWatanabee Because the sand cap is so thick (2 in) it's less messy than you'd think. Not perfect but you can easily siphon any detritus out.

[@troyclench3738]

@@adam6am it’s true sand capped tropica soil makes 0 mess

[@huweishen3624]

Bro, u should keep back arowana

[@RanchKings]

Love you

[@kojiking]

Pour concentrated salt water mix with water over those area where you dint want weeds to grow. It will help better than chemical.

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I think you should try sticking that giant floating plant in the pond outside!! Unless the goldfish will tear it up? Oh and your backyard gives me anxiety b/c of Habu snakes here in Okinawa and I know they'd love your yard lol We have to keep everything really trimmed up here. My backyard is a thick line of trees and plants and it's full of banana spiders and looks too scary to go too close lol

[@kelsey4890]

So excited for the goldfish pond! The room is looking great!

[@randallclemons2415]

II love your fish room. live in Yokosuka Japan.. Where did you get the 4 foot tank from?

[@RyoWatanabee]

I asked my local fish store to order one in for me. You can also get it from rakuten online

[@randallclemons2415]

@@RyoWatanabee Thank you. I got 2 x 60P. 1 saltwater 1 planted

[@DRaquascapes]

What's the ambient temp in the room?

[@tomd3337]

Definitely think you should do it dirted just bake some dirt from your back garden and put a thin layer and cap with sand plants will take off and go crazy i saw you worry about mess but you shouldn't really need to pull any plants out

[@ramdhanaidan8710]

Rock from home contraction, relly?

[@RyoWatanabee]

Garden, backyard, landscaping etc. Home construction centres do that kind of stuff too.

[@ramdhanaidan8710]

In here is diffrent, we don't have a nice rock for tank at home construction. So happy to know that..

[@coktavianuss406]

i think the giant floating plant are a type of hygrophila difformis which took up all the light in the tank

[@RyoWatanabee]

It’s not. It’s a type of ceratopteris. Hygrophila difformis is a stem plant. Mine is not a stem plant. It’s a type of fern

[@shahabreazaei2911]

The quality of the tanks in America have gone down sloppy silicone jobs, Miss aligned glass some of them I would not buy ever.

Agreed. ADA tanks are worthy every penny.

[@anthonyl5600]

I love watching the videos. But it seems like Ryo constantly has a plan to do something and it never gets done. Ie- if the backyard needs to get cleaned up why not work on it first and then tackle the pond project.
