This is my first time watching your channel, and can I just say… 🤯🤯🤯‼️

Glad to see you back can't wait for the finished tank. Love what you do.

He finished it today

[@markdonalds]

I'm a new hobbyist coming from years of aquaria, you did great with all this!! I've been watching your videos nonstop and I've learned so much, it's inspired some wacky plans for what I want to build. You should try breeding some rams when you get everything up and running, they are fantastic parents and it's incredible to watch them raise fry. They're a South American fish too, so it'd fit a rainforest theme perfectly! Rain also triggers breeding in a lot of species, and you got that covered😁

[@erickperez8770]

You should do a in depth video tutorial on how to set up a rain system like this one it would help so many people myself included 😩

[@TroyGoldberg]

I feel that video describes it pretty much Exsctly how I did it lol

[@nineleafclover1477]

Wow that is some impressive plumbing. Can't wait to see how this tank develops!

[@jasonjuchems]

Used gift cards are also great for smoothing out silicone. You can cut the corners to get finish edging if the corners are not to your liking.

[@TroyGoldberg]

Yeah that makes sense, sharpies are nice just because they can get the hard to reach places a little easier

[@therdk4629]

I'm having a custom tank made for me atm which is going to have everything you've just shown. This vid really helps me out with the "how to" and i can't wait to see future vids on this build.

[@biobridge253]

That rain fall is bad ass bud high marks for that

Thanks man!

[@carlosmaestas4709]

What an epic setup absolutely incredible work you do. Its amazing to see your mind works to come up with these ideas and make them reality! If I may suggest? If you ever come into the electrical issue again with the 90° you made, just get yourself a 6ft non-metalic liquidtight a/c whip kit feom lowes. you can cut to length keep the rest and just buy the fittings for future projects. Keep up the amazing work!

[@TroyGoldberg]

[@johnclipperton3774]

Wow that looks really good. Best rain effect I've seen. Wonder if those pipes cast shadows? Would transparent tube be better? Seriously amazing though!

[@TroyGoldberg]

Doesn’t cast shadow... transparent tube would grow algae and what not

[@AnimalsatHomePodcast]

Dude this is awesome, I think the next simulating rainfall is such a cool idea. 2 things: 1) an iced quad espresso is pretty intense haha 2) Did you find the corrugated plastic held together with the silicone? I have tried that in the past and I found the silicone just peels right off once it's cured. Looking forward to seeing the final product!

[@TroyGoldberg]

Hahahaha I drink em daily, bit takes several hours to drink.... when I drink regular iced coffee drinks i drink them way too fast and feel like I’m going to die. So the silicone did stick sorta... I was careful with the boxes and after they were foamed around all sides, there really isn’t anywhere for them to go ya know...

[@originalpo10c]

Cool build! How thick are the pieces of glass? What type of glass is it?

[@mistere0079]

can you list everything you used for the rainbar? how did you get the water from the pump into the small 1/4in tubing

[@Cristian-sc7pl]

What beautiful terrariums😍, what I do not understand is that I am terrible at keeping mosses🤣. They always turn yellow, why could it be?

[@TroyGoldberg]

Don’t let them dry out

[@UKFishCam]

This is like an actual zoo, this is crazy

[@erinhallmakes777]

Could a similar setup be made in a smaller scale unit that has filtration in the tank instead of a sump? How do you control when it rains? What timers/ plugs do you use?

[@misssamartypants]

If that was me trying that, the glass would shatter on my first attempt!

[@TroyGoldberg]

It’s easy!

[@CherokeeAquatics]

How did you get the lightning effect on the lights?

[@clairvoyantdetails8423]

I was wondering how this was done, my next tank is going to have this, do you still use a misting spray nozzle or is it just rain ?

[@harrytruax5195]

Wow - holy awesome! Very inspiring indeed. I recently retired and am in the process of deciding what to do with a portion of my living room - all the way across against a wall [12.5 foot run] so your videos are a big help. I gave up on TV. Amazing work cutting glass and silicone work. I have a lot of learning so please excuse my questions, sorry I suffer from attention surplus disorder, lol. Q: Is the pump used for your rainfall system the same pump that will be doing the waterfalls? Q: Is the rainfall pump located in the sump? Q: Does the rainfall water enter the 1/4" network from outside the tank on the top thru the various bulkheads? Q: Did you silicone those rainfall suction cups? Thanks! Can't wait for part 3.

[@TroyGoldberg]

Thanks man! So... rainfall pump is in the sump, waterfall pump is in the tank. For 2 reasons, lift, and also to help not burn through the clean water bay in the sump., correct, rain fall pump has a 1/4” bulkhead and line coming right out of the sump and the line splits off into 5 spots up top for the rain bar( 3 bulk heads, 2 spots I just drillled holes for the line in the ends.

[@TroyGoldberg]

I did not silicone the suction cups.... I want the rain system to be easily removed, and swapped out for regular nozzles if desired.

[@harrytruax5195]

@@TroyGoldberg Thanks so much for the answers! Much appreciated.

[@mikei70]

Does the mist king rain water use a different reservoir or are you pumping it up from the sump?

It’s in the sump

It failed unfortunately

[@nietrelevant3338]

@@TroyGoldberg you can try a ceramic car coating. Very easy to apply and plenty of videos on it. It might feel counter intuitive (glass on glass), but it really works to smooth out the glass so that condensation does not stick easily.

@@TroyGoldberg can you shoot me their info I’m desperate for their product even if it’s a prototype lol or tell them that even if it doesn’t last forever I’m sure some ppl like me would be happy to pay for a monthly subscription to replace it when it stops working!

[@TroyGoldberg]

It fails

[@nietrelevant3338]

Hey man, nice sump! But your k1 media is supposed to be continuosly moving. If it's stagnant like it currently is it won't do much for filtration. Here is a good example of a well functioning mbbr (moving bed biofilm reactor): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ_GaaSniqeibrs. edit: you could try moving the airstones to the other side and using only one with a small baffle to redirect the flow, currently with the air pump setup like this the flow your air pump is creating is moving the oposit direction of the waterflow. Or what you could also do is turn the entire sump around and make the current entry chamber the exit chamber, that way it will be much easier to create the desired movement in your mbbr chamber. And it won't deteriorate the function of the sump at all.

[@TroyGoldberg]

This was when I first set it up… the bacteria hadn’t grown on the media yet so it was making it float… a few weeks of running and now they are all constantly in motion.

[@joshaking111]

Is that a ps5 shoe box in the background?

[@hannesluhrs1591]

Awesome job ... contact me if you have time to spare I'm building a huge tank myself right now . Would be cool I got surely some questions. ;)

[@tjobrienRC]

You need to at least use adhesive, silicone, or even not glue on those wires after twisting them and before electrical tape! Otherwise the wires can pull apart under all that electrical tape and you won't know till it starts a fire.

[@TroyGoldberg]

🙄

[@TroyGoldberg]

I can promise you, how tight I twisted them together, and the way I taped them..... they’re not untwisting...
