Joey MacGyver!! Every body knows your fantastic with fish and aquariums, but you are also one hell of a handyman too👏🏻👏🏻

[@frankbarnett2303]

Joey DIY appears to happy, passionate, and engaged! In the end that's all that really matters. Thanks!

[@ZMan3k]

These are my favorite types of your vids and what got me following you all those years ago with your coffee table tank! Keep up the great work, glad you chose Sundays for lives as well!

[@thekingofdiy]

[@aquarium.talktv]

School of lion fish would be amazing. I don’t think I’ve seen that done before. Also, great idea for the filtration on the 2000. Cheap easy setup that can prove to be much more powerful and beneficial than any filter sold on the market. Loved this video dude 👏🏻

[@rayquatics23]

Love the DIY projects! Truly an inspiration to just how cheap proper filtration can be!

[@AquaPeet]

Great man, love the simplicity!! So excited about it!! And also wonderful that you already shot this progress so far. Keeps the excitement for next video! :D

[@cellardoor2197]

I love the trash can filters. I have one on my 110 gallon pond. You are so inspirational you've taught me how to do a lot of this stuff

[@SaltFishTV]

Love it man, the reason why I subbed to you back in 2017. I absolutely love these types of videos. I’m keeping this filter build in my back pocket for the future.

[@marlon9191]

Great job thank you for all of the lessons.

[@christiancastellano2775]

I love your videos man! from the Philippines here.

[@medusasworldofstone]

Last time I was this early Joey was still buying filters..😅

[@johnbrand1893]

Great 👍 video, full of invaluable info on DIY filters for sure. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@viper15a41]

Back to your DIY roots. This is best video you've made in a while. Keep up the awesome work!

[@PrettyFish.Brisbane]

Good timing. Just sent this to someone who was asking what kind of filtration they should use on their future ray tank.

[@klinatoc]

Flash backs to the old old diy vids with the way Joey talks

[@jamieskoipond]

Nice one for you how to video just found you channel. I’m in the middle of making a bio filter for my pond and was looking for ideas.

[@CasualAquatics]

Thanks so much Joey I have your book on the way!

[@KyleVeatch]

These are my favorite type of your videos!

[@phantomlakdude]

will be great for my ponds as they oculd use some more filtaration thanks again joey lov ethe old style diy videos thanks again joey

[@TheFishCorner]

Another banger of a video Joey! Trash can sumps are the best! 💪🏾👊🏾 I’m really enjoying the way you’ve been making your content lately! Keep up the great work Bro! ✌🏾

[@charliebs100]

Great information and inspiration

[@newerafrican]

Joey, I know you have heard it before but "thank you" for the inspiration and dedication.

[@Mokaphyyr]

TIDY CAT LITTER BIN Filter is going to go be go!, THank you Joey!

[@michelehogue5790]

Hell yes Joey 👍 🙌 👏 😍 get more!

[@malikmcdew729]

Love you man keep the videos coming boss!!

[@philiphall8755]

Wow those filters look so easy and effective will give them ago but on a smaller scale

[@mrfinsfish745]

Awesome build 👏

[@kbanashek]

Fantastic video, would love to see the filter running on a tank.

[@lady_caridina]

Sunday is my only day off. So that's perfect

[@yanjijay6752]

Customize filters I need to try making some for my turtle tank

[@MFreeman]

Just checking in. Been about a year. Been a sub for about 7. Not in the hobby anymore, but glad to see you still doing your thing. Also glad to see you at 1.4M!

[@mrtron2011]

I think you should do fluidized in the first then submerged in the second. Edit: the two baskets with filter floss sounds like an amazing idea

[@BigBoyz_Tankz]

Pretty clean! Recommend a filter sock in the first input of the filter to catch large debris and let that fall into the floss. 👊

[@sailingsomeday5975]

Welcome Back! Your RE-found joy is evident in the videos…..

[@chrisp7641]

You should put some shrimp in them as another level of filtration. They would do a great job with the rest of the filters.

[@2869may]

"NO WIRE HANGERS....!" lol

[@matthewjoniec9000]

That filter is brutal 😉

[@spartacus9311]

I think I will make one for my water feature outside. Maybe smaller though. Thanks

[@iTzTWINSiTz]

Good timing Joey, this is exactly what I was going to do to my 1200!

[@LAJones-kr5py]

Have you tried beveling the pipe edges a bit and then use the soap to install them through the bulk heads?

[@matheauwilson5010]

If you take the black cover off that loud pump you'll see there that noise is coming from and you can put some cotton and quiet it down alot I did

[@MimiMcWil]

That would be cool!!

[@dazellis8057]

Getting me back into you vids not watched much last month or so

[@huuua2]

28:50 has your garden got root bound? That may be the reason for the slow growth....? Or maybe the light to plant distance?

[@ryanm347]

Love your videos an ideas so much not brave enough to try my self though

[@TMAquatics]

The piranha tank looks amazing. Ever consider adding more tannins to the water?

[@runcmd8851]

Great Video Joey love a bit of DIY.. flooding is part of the Game lol

[@tvsps2024]

I’m not the only person who jumped when the pipe sprayed water at the camera right? 😂

[@themanwhostaresafish]

Back to the old skool..... But new age... Aaaaaaghgh i love it

[@donnauk2493]

Hi Joey great video but I had a thought if you are struggling to find metal hangers then you could probably use picture hanging wire x

[@timothyseccull2269]

Great videos

[@shawn9015]

Hey Joey what about food grade silicone lube to get them in?

[@nightowl760]

Lol are you all brand new? He's the King of DIY! This is what he does! And he just bought like 6 Fx6'sa short time ago, but they're isn't any filter big enough for huge tanks, unless you get a pool filter.

[@domingo-7]

Great video, keep it up!👈

[@dovinedrake6482]

Yes please. Thank you.

[@ReadyAquarium]

Best aquarium tutorials channel on KZbin

[@traderpete007]

Can you share a link to what you buy for submerged media? I bought your book but I’d love a link tree!

[@tedisabum]

Joey, I find that when my airpumps get loud, just putting a few layers of filter floss under it can really make all the difference.

[@garretts91]

Those Brute Barrels are so expensive partially because they're food safe and extremely durable. Very good barrels, I use the 10gal grey version for outdoor tomato plants.

[@REMRETS]

I love it a pack of lines in the water

[@joshuaglaude1549]

You obviously know tons more than me and have your idea, but I would go submerged and fluidized in both set ups. Intake barrel submerged, fluidized in the return barrel.

[@DabToTheFuture]

I vote you let the doggo help next time he looked like he wanted to join you out there at the 13:15 mark 😂😂

[@codylambert8822]

Love watching your videos! Been watching for a long long time. By chance have you seen that Brian barczyk is doing an aquarium now. Wondering if I would see you helping him out again lol.

[@sizzleiguanaclick]

I loved saying hello to the discus :')

[@jerrygortmaker8777]

For the Koi pond in my sun room I wanted to avoid the appearance of aeration in the pond so I added an aeration chamber as the final stage of the filter allowing me to really crank up the air without it being seen.

[@jodymarty3179]

Looks great. You can also use a touch to clean up your cuts on the plastic trash can. Careful not to melt of course

[@JhunDumsTVXj]

Wow nice idol

[@Victor-ng2ii]

Joey can I ask for a filter design were the Pump is at the end after all the media, I have a feeling that running the aquarium water straight to the pump first will get it dirty faster and I’m tryna have to clean it atleast as possible, if I was to make something like this I would have to dedicate a bin just for the filter at the end, then make sure I have piping running from the pond to the first bin, thank for helping me visualize my idea now time to sketch!

[@MasterChief_S117]

Auto focus Joey!😂😂

[@Stavrosmct]

'I was out by an inch'.... Not the first time you've heard that Joey 😂

[@lakeshiamills1454]

Anyway you can drop the link for that air pump? I have one of those small loud ones and it's time to change it out

[@powerfool650]

Have you ever considered Matala Mat for fiter media? Common in Koi ponds.

[@johnwalsh6063]

Hey Joey I love ur fish tank and video I want to build my own Oscar tank 180-225 gallon the thickness of Lexan acrylic I should use .125 .250 .375

[@exariaquatics8404]

Hey you do have a link for your giant airpump? thanks!

[@kala6576]

I've been using quilt batting in my filters for 10+ years, get it at the local fabric store.

[@readyalways1414]

Great information video BIG DOGGIE 💯👣

[@joelingtonmcjoule5603]

You might get more flow from smooth hose, the ribbed ones increase turbulence, which reduces flow. although you may already be at the point of diminishing returns if the pumps very powerful

[@breadlowry]

Fluidized filtration before static filtration may provide better oxygen levels for static bed.

[@WeldingYeti]

I need to know. How do you get the water into the first trash can without a pump and or worrying about it clogging? That's my problem with my tank is my pump clogging up.

[@venom90212]

What is the brand of the stainless steel shower heads.

[@warrenwood5359]

Definitely yes on more lion fish

[@Jayfighter08]

@19:17 it's a dremel in short but a variable speed oscillating tool!

[@slickchick5811]

A rasp would clean up those holes nicely.

[@MarkLupo-ef2rw]

Hey there I watch your videos on how to build a aquarium stand. Well I copied you to a T! It came out great! 😂😂. Anyway I have a 125 gallon w two fluval 407's packed Seachem matrix and a fluval 307 with sponges and chemical! Is that enough filtration. When you get a chance please let me know. 😂

[@ilenastarbreeze4978]

Esh you made me jump at the water coming at thw camera there :p but every time you build a filter you make me wana build one

[@pa.fishpreacher6166]

Did you cover the pump you are using in the Brute cans? If so I missed it somehow, I would be interested in making one of those who are we kidding who knows how many of those

[@evaparker7142]

School of lions. Cool. Love what your doing

[@spartacus9311]

I would love to see a video of your above aquarium sump. Could you ?

[@jordanblackbird7223]

I like your KZbin videos man keep up they great work

[@BC-uu6iz]

what about a diy airlift pump for a drilled tank filtration? tks joe

[@maverickstclare3756]

Aluminum Bonsai Wire is available in short lengths, 4mm is flexible but strong.

[@disastergarage4261]

For cleaning up those drilled holes... ya don't need to struggle... a cheap metal deburring pen when used softly will do that in 1 swipe each side... easy peasy.. and the pvc can be done the same way for easier insert

[@morild233]

hey joey I have a small question regarding the gallon measurements you use, is it the canadian (4.5l per gallon), us (3.8l per gallon)?

[@DabToTheFuture]

I think no matter what and where 4.5 liters are more than 3.8. Your question doesn’t seem to make much sense

[@jason.couture7177]

Run the hole saw in reverse after first getting the center hole. Way smoother end result.

[@TotalPsych0]

that hose jumping out scared The sh*t Out of me 😂😂😂😂😂 damn it Joey

[@JUICYRUSEY]

I have a magic eraser under my air pump to minimise the noise and vibrations, if that big one is vibrating the shelf abit you could try putting one under each of the giant air pumps legs. Ps I love watching your videos and seeing you you get excited for stuff you want to do. Have you ever kept Kuhli loaches?

[@jonpollock2253]

Move the lights within a foot of the plants and keep that gap as they grow. Also slightly over stock the tank to keep up with the plants needs

[@wildandwackywade]

Call me naive but I'm new at this what does putting water from one tub to the other do what can it do for my fish tank and how does filtering the water like that make it better for the fish

[@deosee]

Consider putting a spin filter.and drain to remove fish pòop.
