Wood, rocks and sand... the hardscape of the 2,000G aquarium!
With such big fish being added to the tank, and plants yet to be added... i think this turned out pretty good. What do you think?

Reji Magar - 7 years ago

you can out a turtule

The king of DIY when ur fishes have it better than you....

Juan Smit - 7 years ago

The king of DIY what type of wood is that I have a bunch of cedar trunks and branches that have been dry for about four years and are even sun bleached. Thank you for your time

Arthur G - 7 years ago

Totally stoked for you man! Looks awesome!

Sansa Stark - 7 years ago

Joey, this is going to turn out spectacular! Only think I could suggest to add to this, instead of adding tons more random big pieces of rock? If you really want to jazz up the interest, add petrified wood. For your "Rock".

Chris Littrell - 7 years ago

A little more sand and random rocks would be nice. But it your tank lol and it looks nice so far.

Gavin Stoodge - 7 years ago

It looks so great! I'm imagining it with some plants, clear water, and nice lighting and boy does that look great

Breeana Romans - 7 years ago

Needs more sand! There's bare spots left while walking through it which means the rays will move it around and leave patches empty over time. A nice thick layer would be better

KWO KGB - 7 years ago

The king of DIY for my opinion a couple more bags of sand you still need ! Amazing tank ! Cheers from Portland Oregon

Thomas O - 7 years ago

I am working on my first tank with live plants and Malaysian driftwood.
You're not the only one who wants to change everything around all of the time.
I keep changing my driftwood and plants around constantly!
But seriously, your rocks and driftwood look great there.
The fact that you have that natural archway for the rays to swim through was smart.
Again, I look forward to watching the progress.

P.S. I live in Tampa so......GO RAYS!

The king of DIY are you not worried the flower horn may pic at the other fish he may be small but his anger is massive

May Lilies - 7 years ago

hilmJoshyu Personally I don't think this is a good idea, it will end up looking really cluttered specially once the rays get bigger. Also the rocks could become more of a nuisance if the rays are always bumping into them when they are trying to fed and explore.

May Lilies - 7 years ago

I like the larger pile of rocks in the back but I think the smaller pile needs some tweaking, it looks a bit off when viewed from the side.

Louie Gregorio - 7 years ago

The king of DIY I thought you were opposed to having substrate with ray's, due to the fact that when they shed there barbs it can be hard to remove them from the tank when it's covered with substrate?

Ryan Sandilands - 7 years ago

I think it looks amazing! Well done Joey. Maybe add a little more sand there looked a couple of bare patches is my only critique... Really looks beautiful. I agree aqua scaping is frustrating you always want to change and improve it... I have given up my cichlids just move everything where they like it anyway!!!

Pie-inator_5000 - 7 years ago

I'm just thinking about the fact that the smaller limb going straight up might be a problem for the arowana because I think he might accidentally scrape himself on it at some point and hurt himself, but you said that the limb would be against the cover, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Allyson Chains - 7 years ago

Looks amazing! Aquascape is killer

Narayanan Ramesh - 7 years ago

i thought this was going to be bare bottom as u mentioned in one of ur vids that stingray barbs get embedded in the sand (after they shed) & could possibly hurt them.

Fenu S - 7 years ago

The king of DIY how much water did you use for filling the aquarium so many times or for the drift wood that was outside

Lame X - 7 years ago

The king of DIY I love it

Jasmine P - 7 years ago

Hello The king of DIY :) I love the scape! I have always loved the more natural looks of aquariums. Maybe try adding flatter rocks with in the open space so the rays can still possibly move above them :) #Acadian_pride

Sion Napitupulu - 7 years ago

+百合•希望 r u kidding? build a 2000G for empty?

百合•希望 - 7 years ago

The king of DIY I like it better when the 2000gal aquarium was completely empty cuz I got so used to your other tanks where you don't put anything at all. Watching the Aranawa and sting rays enjoys the emptiness and simplicity of your fish tanks, I probably would rather leave the tank as it was - empty than add the sand and wood. ＹＡＨＳＨＵＡ bless and ＳＨＡＬＯＭ to you and your lovely family❣️❣️✨

xXMx_G4MINGXx - 7 years ago

The king of DIY I love the look of it it looks like a river with wood chunks, pretty natural ps I would love if you would put plants in but cleaning it would probably be a literal pain in the ass or maybe not but it looks fantastic really want the finished product of your hard work

Matarese28 - 7 years ago

The king of DIY can't wait to see the plants

eisenklad - 7 years ago

i bet he would need to make a sieve that allows him to scoop the sand and get the barbs out easily

Karl Frederick Mir Fernandez - 7 years ago

Please don't go back and change the aqua-scape, it's right on the money.

I can't wait for you to add the plants.

Colton - 7 years ago

The king of DIY You are such an inspiration to me joey! The tank looks amazing and I can't wait to see the plants and the awesome fish added! What's you're favorite live plants to use in your aquariums? I'm thinking about setting up my 36 Gallon Bow Front up to be a saltwater aquarium I'm debating whether to make it a reef tank or not but you inspired me to do something awesome with my tanks!

Ty - 7 years ago

The king of DIY this tank is going to be awesome! I would love to see the red arrowana in there when he grows up

but can you have a good view of the asian arowana sitting on your office your office chair since it usually floats around?

iamlegendary_1 - 7 years ago

hi joey just little hint for better looks you should make sure all the wood is facing the same way that way you get a better recreation of a river

kami kaze - 7 years ago

The king of DIY looks great, I love that wood, the fish will love it, great job.

A&IVlogs - 7 years ago

The king of DIY needs more sand but looks awsome

Asnl45 - 7 years ago

Looks great, I can't wait for the plants. I feel like the smaller rock pile needs a couple more rocks. You can always add sand if you need it I'd wait until that moment.

malawilake40 - 7 years ago

The king of DIY looking good now..I like it,,real nice..

Susan Wynn - 7 years ago

The layout with the wood looks awesome! If I were you I would remove the rock pile on the right side of the tank and replace it with a few smaller stones to create depth. Place the larger stones you removed under the right side of the "bridge" like structure created by the wood for added support and to make it look like the wood is emerging from the rocks. A few more stones just right to the left rock pile would look awesome. I would also add a larger freestanding stone with some rocks around just left to the center of the tank in the middle to create a angled triangle. It would also look really cool to have that large stone covered in moss when planted. Right now your vision looks at the left side first and is drawn around to the right side but with the addition of the large stone it would be drawn from the left back, to the front middle and back to the right back. Add maybe 3-5 bags more of sand to fill in the gaps and I would be done! Overall awesome job!

Nerfing Maniac - 7 years ago

PUT PLANTS!!!

Stefan Lewis - 7 years ago

The king of DIY add more SAND

Jimmy Lee - 7 years ago

It's awesome just leave it

It's Ethan! - 7 years ago

The king of DIY Are you going to add Pleco in there?

Fish Freak - 7 years ago

The king of DIY I like the woods and their positions very much! The stones are also good, but if you want your aquascape to look natural, in my opinion the rocks and stones look a little bit unnatural. I suggest that you break down the borders of the stone piles and put some stones and small rocks to the other areas of the aquarium.
But still you did very good job with the aquasqaping and if you are satisfied with the scape, then it's propably perfect.

Divyan Chamunda - 7 years ago

Vsuvis - 7 years ago

I think you might need more sand, with the rays messing with it you might get some spots where the white bottom of the tank shows through

kevs' life - 7 years ago

The king of DIY Hi, have you reinforced the rooms floor to accommodate the weight of the tank? it must weight a few tonnes! Ive gotta say I love it.. have you decided on what types of plants you may use? I'd suggest some anubias and some specimen amazon swords.

Jeff K - 7 years ago

How about lighting it with solar tubes.

Sachin Dath - 7 years ago

you should definetley go ultra compact ultra bright for lights. maybe something in the kessel line maybe? unless you can diy some super powerful diodes, I don't think you'll achieve that "gallery" look

bri's art - 7 years ago

The king of DIY can you please do swords, anubias and java fern for some of the plants they grow out really good

Captivating Dreams - 7 years ago

The tank looks absolutely amazing! Can't wait to see the water clear up and see what plants you are going to put in there, I'm sure it'll look awesome! Rooting for the flower horn to do well in there :D

Johan S. - 7 years ago

The tank looks amazing Joey!!! maybe a couple of small rocks in the middle... and i know what you mean haha by moving the plants every single day again! when even my gf gets sick off it and has to stop me! :p

I am super worried about Joey getting in there with the fish and getting stung by one of the rays! Or stepping on a shed stinger hidden in the substrate... be careful my dude!

Nigel Aquascaping - 7 years ago

BIG!!

MickMaan - 7 years ago

Would it be safe to get a big chunk of wood from the woodland and put it in a tank? I'm getting a 4ft'er and would like one massive piece of wood going right down the back, but the prices of bogwood are just ridiculous and I can only find pieces that are a few inches long, under 1ft. What types of wood are safe and how would I prepare it to make sure it's safe for the fish, assuming it's had all sorts of critters crawling all over it or even living in it. I'll be getting rid of a 3ft'er so I could submerge the wood for a while.

Joe Spaulding - 7 years ago

pretty sure i im using the same gravel in my 60 gal really good gravel, my looks to be a little more on the tan side maybe just the lighting

Go Away - 7 years ago

looks like it could use more sand. It's kind of spotty in places. Also, the bigger rock pile looks kind of, man made to me. I think that kind of randomizing the placement of small and big rocks a little better might help with that.

Sadly, even if we can't see it yet, your water circulation is going to move the substrate away significantly. It just takes a bit of time. Maybe think of some plants near the MP-16s that help keep the substrate there? I mean, just like with sand dunes

John Hall - 7 years ago

I understand you are not that worried about swimming with your rays at their current size .. but...maybe.... cooler heads should prevail on that? As the rays get bigger aren't you going to need to partition the rays away from where you are working anyway? Why not just figure that out now and not swim with them. You are so smart about everything. I think too smart to start doing dangerous stunts on your channel. Off camera if you get too use to doing going into the tank with them regularly couldn't you be setting yourself up for an eventual and very painful mishap? You said the top priority is the fish... please consider your own safety at least on par. Another idea would be a scaffold or just a ladder extension with ply on top across the tank and some pool tools to be able to access the center of the tank and move things around from the top.

Dally Dznuts - 7 years ago

I'd say you need more sand for sure

bigdreams - 7 years ago

that is going to be a sick view from your desk once the tank is fully stocked. the aquascape makes a lot of sense from that angle. great job. I think you may end up turning your desk around so you can just glance at your monster tank all day. I don't think I would get any work done with that in my office ;) awesome

PewPewQQs - 7 years ago

you need a good 2inces of sand on the bottom, rays in real life bury themselfs when stressed hunting, or whatever you can see the base of the tank. plus a deeper sub straight gives u the option to put a few live plants in the tank. which personally planted tanks are my favorite.

Kenn Fong - 7 years ago

How many times did you fill and drain this tank? Here in California we've just ended a long drought and I always am conscious of water use. Not criticizing you, more envious of your seemingly endless supply.

GracefullAnimals - 7 years ago

wow those are gonna be some lucky fish:) but i'm sorry you can only fit 1 guppy in there!! JK

grigoris bozek - 7 years ago

nice one i like that you said that you don`t use chemicals in your water :)
my suggestion if you put few rocks or wood in opposite corner of the large driftwood is gonna look natural

Disney Disney - 7 years ago

Tank is looking great but the rocks at the front of the tank just don't look right maybe they look different in person can't wait to see it planted!!

Ben Edwards - 7 years ago

nice one Joey, it's coming on really well, keep us updated, love watching your vids

Stu-ool - 7 years ago

I live in Alberta. it would be great to meat you!

Kibbles N Bits - 7 years ago

I ALWAYS change my scape. Sometimes I fear that itll stress my fish out a lot, but they always love exploring everything after it's changed, so I think they're doing great. Glad to know I'm not the only one!

German Shepherds - 7 years ago

u should get a few small turtles to put in it

coleman thomas - 7 years ago

five frontosas would look nice in there.

canijustpetmycat - 7 years ago

Hey, this is sorta a weird question, but do you think it's possible to turn an above ground pool into an aquarium? Excluding the cost of it, would it be possible? If so, is there anything special you'd have to do? Other than obviously installing aquarium level filters, heaters, etc.

Vinh Tran - 7 years ago

J_KASH_27 - 7 years ago

JOEY AMAZING JOB .
add more sand??.

Diane Hawkins - 7 years ago

I have always attached freshwater driftwood with stainless steel screws. Drill holes first to prevent the wood cracking. I place the screws in inconspicuous places. The wood can be assembled outside the tank, then added in 1 piece, but can be taken apart whenever needed.

Ethan Quirk - 7 years ago

If you do end up rescaping it once filled, you could do it on a stream and have the camera facing through the window while you can watch the playback from a screen while you're still inside. That way you can double check how it looks from the outside too.

svrack - 7 years ago

Don;t sweat it. I have revisited the set up for my backyard turtle pond about 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Its time consuming but ultimately pretty fun! Your videos btw have been so helpful! Your awesome, keep em coming!

Dude, that is awesome! That filtration setup is mind blowing.
Good luck on the progress.

Anthony Jung - 7 years ago

I like the setup so far. Iv'e come to a point in my fish keeping to believe that simple is better. Needs more sand. Your wood arrangement is spot on. I think the rocks chosen are fine but eventually that and the substrate will be the items you choose to be finicky with. It's always the small things that I mess around with often. Big changes are less frequent and usually come with a massive change and breakdown of the tank. Looks great, just more sand.

Hunter Haas - 7 years ago

Joey What Editing Software Do You Use For YouTube Videos???

Yash Chandwadkar - 7 years ago

NEVER EVER satisfied with look

Jeffrey Tellis - 7 years ago

Yea Joey u are never alone... I too cannot keep my hands out of my tank

Jeffrey Tellis - 7 years ago

I think the left wood piece is too much to the right ; a bit to the left and foward is better also doesn't obstruct the intakes (looks empty over there). Also the first pile of rocks is too much cramped, mind spreading it,heading towards the viewing panel .

Home Aquatics Hobby - 7 years ago

The tank is looking better and better through out each video

batsareamasing - 7 years ago

Once the plants have been established thoughts on adding small fish which can live/hide amongst them?

Jay Macq - 7 years ago

Hope your fish die again soon Joey. I remember you being to upset for months to make a video about it, would be brilliant from a viewers prospective

I am suprised you added sand what about there barbs.. also I would put a back grounds and ditch the peace of wood it is too big :-)

Hunter Mine - 7 years ago

You need a long brush to fill in the white spots in, and make little hills for the Rays to destroy

ViolateAHS - 7 years ago

I think the rock piles need to be spread out a bit. The wood is beautiful btw. And more sand, it's going to be amazing when it's done

drewee88 - 7 years ago

Excellent! Some height in the right/top right could be good, though maybe you left it for your aros space, xxl java/anubias will add height safely, xxl plastic lily pads would look sweet too. Hygrophila angustifolia and vallisneria australis in terracotta pots with aquasoil for first annum ;)

strat1960s - 7 years ago

That 2k tank looks awesome. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.

I would place some rocks spread, in my idea that is more natural

I mean spread out

Wayne Bradford - 7 years ago

looking good mate if i had to be make one point i didnt like it would be it needs more sand but thats just being picky and as you said you have plants to add yet but its looking good

I'm smarter than you - 7 years ago

You need some aquashoes

Heike - 7 years ago

Cant wait to see it complete with the fish in it! :D

Akwarystyka Rodzinna - 7 years ago

Great natural Aquarium Aquascape. Really pretty. Regards from Poland :)

Dartist64 Rocks - 7 years ago

looking great Joey. if you add a small rock within a hand's breath, anywhere from the pile on the left and a mid sized rock, just off- center, ( in the curve of the wood), it will look even more natural and the rays will still have lots of room to swim and explore. Just a thought.

Luke Hartley - 7 years ago

Need more sand but other than that looking great. Like so Joey can see

P J - 7 years ago

You are living my dream! :P haha, now...fill it with 1000 Neon tetras!

Thirsty Rabbit - 7 years ago

good day Joey. im so happy for you your dream is coming along and looks tight mate. im so happy Frenk is going in as well. i dont think i will sleep until i know he will be ok. but like you mate i would give it a try as well. i cant wait to see more and what eles is to come. but for this project lots of love from down under mate. keep up the great work mate

Mr. KingofDIY. I'm sure this comment will get lost in the tens of thousands, but I think you should do what you want. However... Ted Judy just put out a great aquascaping video and his tank looks amazing. Obviously you would have a different idea of stocking but I think it doesnt hurt to take a look. Thanks for all you do for the community. #fishfam.

Mark Weatherhead - 7 years ago

this is fantastic I mentioned in another video of yours that I'm new to fish keeping but I agree this new tank I have I can't seem to get any aquascape the way I want to keep it. will your rays be okay gliding over the wood like that since when they are full grown they will take up 50% of the tank. I know nothing of rays but they are fantastic

MrDillon2029 - 7 years ago

I love you videos joey!

MrDillon2029 - 7 years ago

Daniel Kim - 7 years ago

Nice vid and u need to add more sand in the tank

Jerome Chen - 7 years ago

Nicely done man!! I would suggest to add in at least an inch of sand. Not enough for the rays to hide and might be just right for the rays to push it around. Cheers.

Skidz Keepitstreet - 7 years ago

Looks awesome!!! You still really need turtles

Colin David Runge - 7 years ago

I think the flower horn is a big mistake. It would be cool if it worked but I think it's going to interact poorly with the arrowana. Especially, since you already had an issue with the arrowana and tank mates in the past. I don't think it's worth the risk in a tank that size. Too hard to correct. And the damage it could do in a short period of time to the arrowana may be too much.

Dog Cat - 7 years ago

I can see his fish is ganna be monster size and eat someone who falls down the aquarium.

Vishal Anand - 7 years ago

Arowanas and Flower horns are aggressive fishes when it comes to territory and food eating. Isn't there a risk of self-injury, if things get out of hand due to driftwood?

I think that you should put some of the rocks in close to the glass or in front of the wood.. putting the rocks more spread out. just a thought

Brendan Griffin - 7 years ago

2 or 3 kessil a350 led lights would be sweet for this. Can't beat there ripple effect and you can dial the kelvin spectrum into what you like

2wheelsx2 - 7 years ago

Aneesh C R - 7 years ago

So happy for you...I can't wait to see the final stage..... I get that you don't like aquascaping very much... But try to make it look a bit more chaotic... Especially the floor is relatively flat... I would love it if you make kind of wavy appearance with your sand.... And it will be cool if you could get some really large boulders too (without killing the open space of course)... Good luck

Kate Marsh - 7 years ago

3:24 that could have ended really badly! Be safe Joey

Franz von Köller - 7 years ago

Please Joey! Plant a waterlily on the corner between the viewing panels! It would look amazing with the pads floating on top and the stems leading up to the surface, it could make the tank look much more natural and help consuming nitrates and might even flower with the correct lightning. Plus it might give the arrowana a place to hide under the leaves if it feels the need to escape sometime O:)

Franz von Köller - 7 years ago

Just another little thing, how would plecos work with the rays? I was thinking it's one of the few things that might work with an arrowana that size. It wasn't a joke? are you sure? Maybe that little fella will do ok, I sure hope so.

Mihir Gurjar - 7 years ago

Please check if you add four wave makers , if that will drive aquascape wood here and there around the tank.

Johnathan Foong - 7 years ago

i think running LED strips underneath the acrylic strip supports would look good; creating some background lighting. Place some scaping right infront would create some foreground interest.

Given the bacterial benefits that a substrate encourages... I'd be tempted to fill the tank to about half way to the glass.

Great Job scaping Joey. I truly think you did a great job. I cant wait to see you add some plants and how you will put them on the wood? Im guessing. Correct me if im wrong but if you try to put them in the substrate wouldnt the rays just move them around. I think your literally counting the days with couple more adjustments and its alost ready for fish!!!

Definitely has potential. Needs much more sand - especially if you're planting plants. Also scatter a few smaller rocks around the base of the wood so it doesn't look so bare.

Get a Leopard Pleco

Ivan Eduardo Veloz Guerrero - 7 years ago

Joey, the rock pile on the left looks too piled up. Spread it out more, so it loooks more natural. Yes, you will lose some space but it's that or having little to no rocks.

Ivan Eduardo Veloz Guerrero - 7 years ago

Maybe tiny rocks in random places... more natural

Lelani Dixon - 7 years ago

Looks really great! I love the wood, so gorgeous. The only tweak I would make is adding a few large flat rocks in between the two rock pile anchors. You mentioned it yourself that it might need some rocks in between and I agree with that. Keeping it to flat rocks shouldn't interfere with the rays ability to swim under and around the wood.

Will Hodgson - 7 years ago

I pretty much hate both my tanks every time I try to scape them. not sure if I'll ever be able to get it where I want it lol

Dev Han - 7 years ago

what's the plan for aeration?

ddgandme - 7 years ago

plain wood is not a cool aquascape

Steve Campey - 7 years ago

i can see you jumping in and out of that tank at least a dozen times till you are happy with it. IMO you need bigger rocks, heavy and awkward I know, but will make your timber pop.

Ivan Eduardo Veloz Guerrero - 7 years ago

You could have used a large mirror to see what you were doing.

Great job, looking forward to the plants going in.

Sea Sparkle - 7 years ago

Nice! that almost looks better than the aquariums they have at zoos and stuff.

R Bear - 7 years ago

I love your tank, I would love to have one that big.

Stitching Jules - 7 years ago

Do you expect some cloudiness for a few weeks when the rays go into the tank and disturb the sand? I can't wait to see the fish in their new giant tank!!!!!

Kit Fisto - 7 years ago

Would you design a house for me to? I'm looking for something a little more modern.

FUNNY SH#T - 7 years ago

Thomas Salter - 7 years ago

If you have to get in the tank to plant the plants don't you run the risk of getting stung by a stingray!

I am a soul - 7 years ago

Please do a DIY LED planted light for this tank!!!

Maybe attached with brackets to the back wall, so it can fold up when doing maintenance etc....?

Splitter101 - 7 years ago

flowerhorn and smaller arowana temporarily in the planted?

RC West Midlands - 7 years ago

You should get a common pleco, so we can see how big it gets lol. you can use it to teach people how big they really are!

cant wait for the last resolt

Steff D - 7 years ago

beautiful tank only thing that bothers me a bit is the tank is so low. like it feels like a fish market tank rather that something of display. Much respect to your tank but just wanted to get my opinion across

I. RIVERA - 7 years ago

I'm the same way! I'm never satisfied and get really frustrated. I think it looks good! Maybe spread out the first pile of rocks and add more sand? Either way it's coming along nicely!! Keep it up.

ted pollock - 7 years ago

I don't know what the rays will do(never have taken care of them, but planing on it) but I would put some gravel on or around the rocks not much about a 5 gal bag of them if they get scattered then it looks more like a river/lake

ted pollock - 7 years ago

oh and a live stream of the tank on the channel at all times would be fun

Mark Kissner - 7 years ago

Looks great. Can't wait to see your fish and rays enjoying all your hard work.

ttgk - 7 years ago

DIY king has some guns

XpetraXpazlX - 7 years ago

Take out the huge rocks, your rays need more room to swim around.

Those piles don't look good, you should just have some of the smaller rocks. The wood already looks good by it's self.

Dusan Dobranic - 7 years ago

You need half inch of water to be higher than acrilic windows.

Jiree Pugh - 7 years ago

and river carp

Justin Hart - 7 years ago

Great hardscape! can't wait to see you get the plants in.

Jiree Pugh - 7 years ago

you should add guppies and mollies and tetras with cori catfish

Joshua John Walters - 7 years ago

CREEPONATER Minecraft - 7 years ago

jss12 a1234 - 7 years ago

Max Husa - 7 years ago

This was the highlight to my fourth of July you may not know what that is Joey but who cares

J Reid - 7 years ago

It doesn't look all that good... the holes in the sand kinda look crappy, and the rocks don't look good right up against the wood like that... just my opinion though

Andy's Reef - 7 years ago

Quality channel, it really is!! I here what your saying regarding aquascaping...........one of the best but also one of most irritating / agitating things you can do. I've only just been really happy with my aquascape (re-scapped last week.....again) and I started it in January!!!

Marty - 7 years ago

guacamole - 7 years ago

when you said that about the flower horn i thought it was a joke but then I thought it could be a good idea

guacamole - 7 years ago

and you should add a really big pleco I just think it'll look good but it's up to my man

Jimmy H Fishes - 7 years ago

Looks Awesome Joey.... can't wait for the fishes....

TheTheladrillo23 - 7 years ago

hope you will use you water changed for something productive, maybe some hydroponics? we are talking about a lot water to waste

jt santiago - 7 years ago

To make it look natural you should add some scattered rocks too

Parameister Creations - 7 years ago

I've got a 5G and a 20G and if I could, they'd have a different aquascape everyday, I'm sure the fish appreciate that I don't though lol

J Reid - 7 years ago

I know nothing about aquariums etc., but I have been watching this channel for months. What are tannins?

The king of DIY - 7 years ago

Tannins are an organic substance leeched out of wood. Some woods leech more than others. Side effects are that it can turn the water yellow/amber in colour and has an acidic effect, lowering the PH of the water. Harmless, but for some it is not visually pleasing(although more natural looking, i don't like it... i prefer the water to be clear)

donna rigg - 7 years ago

wow going to be awesome. Can't wait to see fish in their new home

Kyle Raines - 7 years ago

SAWEEEETT!!

Alpina YT - 7 years ago

It looks great but I really think you should add a little more sand cause you can still see the ground of the tank a little bit

Kobin Harris - 7 years ago

Maybe stock some crawfish in there they will clean up the bottom of the tank and are high in protein I'm sure the rays would gorge on them

Marysol Deeley - 7 years ago

Awesome!

NickskibikeFilms - 7 years ago

Joey! Great work so far. Love how it's all coming along. You should get a GoPro and make a mount for it above the tank looking down! So you could always get shots looking straight down at the tank! Anyone else agree??

Firepast Studios - 7 years ago

Joey, you promised us that you would be a mermaid, When is it gonna happen? xD Lol love your vids and hi from the land down under!

Grumpy Old Scotsman - 7 years ago

hey love your enthusiasm, inherited a few mollies and a goldfish and now have my first 80 litre tank with guppies, tetra's shrimp, and mollies in it ... your videos help hugely and fingers crossed things seem to be going well.. been aquascaping I had never heard of until a month ago... oh dear not sure if ill be stopping at one tank now... good luck with the big tank and thanks for the videos.

oceancolours - 7 years ago

Looks good. Depends on the individual personalities of the fish but from my experience I've found generally Flowerhorns to be more aggressive than Arowanas, after all they are large cichlids and territorial (especially when they are horny). When it doesn't work out it's really painful to see an Arowana's fins torn up and/or lost scales.

Simon Modzgabrishvili - 7 years ago

Are you only putting rays and the arawana

wereaboutsunknown - 7 years ago

Hey Joey, you should add a pile of rocks in the front corner, I think it would look pretty good; but that's just me.

austalien1 - 7 years ago

that first peace of drift wood is amazing.......the aquascapeing look fantastic. cant wait to see it planted.

Grace - 7 years ago

More sand but besides it awesome

KatrinaThomas1990 - 7 years ago

I hope he got all the silica bags out of the sand, those can be toxic if dissolved in water. would hate for anything to happen to the fish, but knowing joey hes already sorted it!

Sean Hare - 7 years ago

I think you need more rock in the front right corner as if you were walking in the room. Other than that, this tank is going to be a amazing.

Tanya Foster - 7 years ago

I am absolutely in love. I am no aqua enthusiast like you, but I do appreciate aquariums and yours are especially impressive to me. Very nice!

Richard Holford - 7 years ago

It probably wont be a problem now there is sand in there but wearing regular sports socks would stop your feet from sliding on the bottom. I used to have to wear them for that reason when I supported people swimming in a tiled swimming pool in my old job.

Thomasgolen Golen - 7 years ago

Awesome. I thoroughly enjoy watching the progression of your tank, keep it up!!
