First live stream on youtube! Not bad! Let me know how it went!

Pie-inator_5000 - 7 years ago

The king of DIY Thank you for having the guts to tell us about what you've been through. I dont know how it feels, but the struggles that you went through couldn't have been easy at all. I'm so glad that you were able to make it through all that and in the end find something you enjoy doing with a family to back you up.

Euckee Rojas - 7 years ago

The king of DIY appreciate your videos so much man. I came for the aquariums and stayed for your positive, yet realistic, view on life. Your stories have given me hope that I can get through a rough patch.

carmen mendez - 7 years ago

are you going to put the sting rays in there

Kary N - 7 years ago

Ash thanks :)

John Morris - 7 years ago

The king of DIY sorry if I missed it, where did you get the wood for the aquascape? Thanks Joey it is coming along great!

Ash - 7 years ago

You can import the PDF to Kindle :)

The king of DIY can you consider making your book available on kindle?

The king of DIY joey why are you so nervis we love you what ever you do and we suport you!

Svartr - 7 years ago

Hey, thanks for keeping the stream up and available! I enjoyed the entire near two hours so I personally think half-hour for streams is just a little too short. Maybe strive for 40 - 60 minutes and perhaps a dedicated day for Q&A's considering they're not your favourite thing to do, but it does help your viewers feel involved and appreciated. I also agree that some form of moderation would be beneficial and/or a time restriction between chat posts to slow things down a bit. Excited to see the gallery continue to be worked on - it's inspiring to see the dedication you have to making your vision a reality! I'm just a small fry in the pond with a starter 10 gallon and Harlequin Rasboras (love those fish) but would love to expand sometime.

The king of DIY excellent..

Liam Colhoun - 7 years ago

The king of DIY haha closet fans

Nate Lincoln - 7 years ago

Soulrider2012 I was about to say the same. Vining plants will cover the anchor bolts. Use wire rope to keep the pieces together anchor the big ones to the frame and then you could almost screen the top of the tank with wood

Liam Colhoun - 7 years ago

The king of DIY cheer up joey I've been watching u for a while now and your truely inspiring I've been in the aquarium hobby for a year and a bit and u have helped me heaps I look forward to ur videos every week keep up the good work don't let the haters bring ya down

Soulrider2012 - 7 years ago

Joey, I went through a lot of the comments and I didn't see this anywhere but maybe it's been mentioned or you've thought of it before but here's an idea. What about if you drilled into the concrete and put in some "hooks" so you could "hang" a lot of the bigger pieces (or even all) of the pieces from the walls or, from each other. You could also drill into some of the bigger pieces of wood and you could put hooks in and hang or mount some of the medium to smaller pieces off of the larger pieces. Or, you could use some sort of coated or aquarium safe wire or material to bind/attach some of the pieces to one another. My thought here is doing something like this you could suspend much or all of the wood from the walls of the tank and that would allow you to aquascape your tank the way you want but also keep the floor of the tank (or a large part of it) free and clear so the rays can swim on the bottom unobstructed. Anyway, just some thoughts I had. Take care, I think the gallery is going to be amazing. I won't say "when it's finished" since knowing you, it probably will never be totally, "finished". You'll always be doing or adding something. Good luck!

Put a rabbit around the top and put a big piece of acrylic on the top. Then you can lay on the top and look at the ray.

xenathomas - 7 years ago

you did very good please do more :)

wantsome480 - 7 years ago

Pile the wood in the middle of the tank and use rocks around the base for support and aesthetic appeal. An Island aquascape would look best for that size tank. I would add anubias and ferns all over the place.

Absolutely fabulous, Joey! Shared onto my FB and Twitter pages under 'Sue Caldwell' (the avatar picture is of the world from outer space in the shape of a heart). Keep up the fantastic work! I love following, watching and learning from you, and you're such a vibrant, fun, knowledgeable and natural personality that I'm sure it won't be long before you're world famous! I thoroughly enjoyed this broadcast and stayed up to watch rather than sleep! It was worth it! Love from Sue and all the animals (in Cardiff, Wales, United Kingdom). xxx

Watch Man - 7 years ago

Joey, what is your day job that allows this time-consuming hobby?

Nick J - 7 years ago

I'm just not liking wood for a tank of ray's. I would use Lava Rocks, but maybe that's just me and it wouldn't be correct!

Nick J - 7 years ago

I guessing $500.00 in wood ?

David J Yuan - 7 years ago

Writing this comment around the 50 minute mark. Thank you for your sacrifices. I'm happy to hear that your family returned. I bet they mean even more, dare I say, to you than your aquarium passion.

@The king of DIY, thanks for all you do for the hobby. I have several friends who also follow you. Keep up the great work and knowledge sharing!!!

Ben Turner - 7 years ago

great video man!! keep up the good work

Tobias Krämer - 7 years ago

Awsome tank, really. Also the wood looks greate.
But I wouldn't pay to much attention to fill all the blank spots, I like all the arches and branches. Maybe filling that with wood growing plants? Anyway it looks really cool.

Chace Shrimp breeder - 7 years ago

I love your work. You would have to be my favorite fishkeeper!

sturgeonguy - 7 years ago

its your tank... decorate it like you want to. you definitely like to hear yourself talk. I would think your viewers would be more interested in the design of the filters and pumps, but that may be the engineering side of me speaking. The tank is gonna be awesome though congrats.

Happy fishguy - 7 years ago

Wow that tank would hold a lot of my fancy Fire tail Guppys, And i could swim with my fish. That would be an amazing video . Thanks again for all your videos and the fun you bring to this hobby. I am going to buy the book !!!

Happy fishguy - 7 years ago

My Rainbow tail Guppys are female and there tails are amazing. The video i made shows incredible color. Their fancy tails flash a iridescent rainbow. i got lucky

"My wood is extremely big"

Mirnyj - 7 years ago

Hi Joey, are you familiar with the term geotope aquarium? I'm guessing you'll be using plants and animals from a certain area to build an aquascape, that would in my books at least count as a geotope. :)

Mirnyj - 7 years ago

Lol, guess we'll have to wait and see until the tanks are finished to see what you mean with "not a biotope, not a geotope" then. :D Keep up the good work, this is such an interesting project. * two thumbs up *

The king of DIY - 7 years ago

+Mirnyj yes I'm familiar, no that is not what I'm doing.

Mar cos - 7 years ago

First of all respect...thank you so much for all the knowledge. Just a suggestion but...What if you set up the driftwood vertically instead of horizontally?

Freeyourmind - 7 years ago

That wood is still gonna float some. You're gonna need to screw some slate onto the bottom of them. And that's where having substrate would come in handy.

Zebedee Harper - 7 years ago

Way to be transparent Joey we can appreciate the struggle you went through and that to have fueled your inspiration to do what your doing and being where you are now creates a lot of inspiration for me cause we all struggle but doing something that your passionate about is worth it and your channel fuels my passion for getting my aquarium were they need to be. So keep it up and know that this is your channel feel free to be how you want, and ppl will appreciate that.

"Don't look over there!" LOL. Great video Joey. I think the wood will look so different once the water and glass is in. Im sure you will make changes once the tank is filled so don't stress yourself with the dry setup. Looking forward to the tank up and running. Keep up the good work!

Tell us more about your wood, Joey :P

Max Twigg - 7 years ago

cool seeing you unedited ;)

Edward O'Brien - 7 years ago

I watched the recorded version. I think it was a great first try. However going forward eat something beforehand, get a towel, and get a friend to help you with that tank so your wife doesn't come in there to find you trapped under a wood pile. As for the stream, do look into getting some sort of moderator(s) to keep the conversation moving forward, you answered several questions repeatedly, and for some of your regular viewers that can get tiresome. I did like the personal questions you were asked as I hope most of your viewers did, even though you do seem uncomfortable about them. Perhaps some day you could make a video about all the ups and downs you have had when you feel comfortable about it. Keep up the good work, I enjoy your channel immensely. .

The Wig of Dub - 7 years ago

Thanks for your videos thanks to you i've almost completed my 370 gallon plywood aquarium. I did front and side viewing panels and dark green pond shield for my 25 Large mouth bass. only problem to note is the tank is 29 inchs that will fit front viewing panel to move out the door. the stand will have to be taken apart when i move so this build is for someone thats not going to do alot of moving. great work though!

Joey, I love, respect, and enjoy everything you do. You are a true inspiration to me, sorry my mother and I could only give $25 to the donation, we have 4 tanks between the 2 of us thanks to motivation through you and Jenny and it can be a bit costly. Every video is amazing, edited or live. Not everyone will love all of them but so many thousands will enjoy each and every one. Keep it up, disregard the few dislikes, and keep it up. Just put family first. Also, your wood is really big. Sorry, you made me say it.

the wood is amazing.but alot of sharp edges.i'm worried the fish might hurt themselves.did u consider rocks.might b more fish friendly.with size of the fish you're putting in there.and the concrete aquarium can take the weight of rocks.

every body had there fare share of success & failures.what matters is the outcome. in your case, you ROCK. I watch all your videos & they help a lot. You really inspired me. Made an 8 ft planted tank & a 150 gal tank is on the way with your internal sump in it. Hope youll succeed in your gallery. Shared a small amount thru paypal. Your the MAN.

Carlos Ramos - 7 years ago

at 38:00 you should've left that wood where it was

xSilverlavax - 7 years ago

Me and my fiance say you should put a Pacu in that aquarium--if you're looking for more giant fish to go in there. Not sure how they do with Arowanas and Rays, but you'll have tons of room for them.

powerful LANCE! - 7 years ago

Ron Entropy - 7 years ago

Do more of these... I enjoyed it very much.

Jacqueline Pavan - 7 years ago

God knows your needs :) especially when it comes to nature, thank for recreating God's creation. I have a fish tank and keeping it has make appreciate and understand more the circle of life, which unfortunately men tampers with it so much. We need to be better stuards and guardians of earth.

Jack ofNJ - 7 years ago

Suggestion: When you finally hit upon a scape that you like. Take a picture. Remove a piece and take a picture with the piece removed and of the piece itself. Continue doing so until the scape is completely dismantled. To rebuild it, follow the pictures in reverse order. Great show! Fantastic project! Looking forward to its "completion".

Karen Clanton - 7 years ago

awesome channel. i only have two betta tanks still love the hobby. if you dont keep your goldies you should see if jenny gold would want them after she clears up her sick ones ilnesses.

A B - 7 years ago

hi joey, could be interesting to see you stream DIY backgrounds. obviously they would need to cure off screen but if you're doing them for the rack you could possible knock a few out at once. would be great to see how somebody with experience deals with it in the moment.

Lisaa - 7 years ago

i loved it live also need a moderator

Suzanne SG Nunez - 7 years ago

I think you need to keep focused on how the Rays will interact with the space. Won't they want to have pass throughs? Even the other fish how would they interact in the space. Would be great if you can mimic they natural way. Since your going all out!

Brian Kwan - 7 years ago

any special lighting effect? such a spot lights and even different colours to create a night and day or dusk and Dawn feel?

terrell higgins - 7 years ago

u have a cool fish tank

ty eres - 7 years ago

Remember Joey, less is more, certainly in aquascaping. Instead of using all the wood against the sides, divide the tank up into four equal rectangles. then choose just one of those rectangles (preferably the one in the back with the pipes) and place one big piece of wood vertically at an angle towards the center of the tank. It'll give you a balanced focus point, height and depth.

Kim's Reptiles the Netherlands - 7 years ago

The tank is coming along nicely.

Lucky Lukie - 7 years ago

steven vogel - 7 years ago

i need that wood

Eduardo D. 121412 Racoma - 7 years ago

I remember you will have other tanks on the wall, maybe you can put other drift woods in there forming like a huge driftwood like a a puzzle

Eduardo D. 121412 Racoma - 7 years ago

You have loads of open bottom tanks for the principle of easy maintenance, too much crevices might make maintenance harder. Please use only as you like but not because you have a lot, you still have to put some plants i guess

Tom Tom - 7 years ago

Come to Ireland! il buy you a pint

Eduardo D. 121412 Racoma - 7 years ago

Is it too much wood? Make it a little simple

Kawser Latif - 7 years ago

i love the 2nd one

Eduardo D. 121412 Racoma - 7 years ago

I think it would be nice if some parts of the driftwood is above water

Justin Loitz - 7 years ago

personally i would like something in the middle of the tank and have the arrowana do loops around it(obviously that would be comepletly up to the fish of course lol)

Justin Loitz - 7 years ago

i think if you did want to go substrate a "school" of sandsifting eartheaters/geos could solve your vacuum problems altho that doesnt do anyhting for ray spikes in the substrate

Hey Joey ....what is a "super chat" (sorry I'm new to this stuff)
Keep up the good work, your vids are the best and very educational.....hope to meet you some day, are you planning a Florida trip any time?
I'm new to the "fresh" hobby, just started a 100 gallon African cichlid peacock tank....and I absolutely love it (tank used to be a pretty successful salt predator tank, I donated my fish to the high school my wife works at after hurricane Mathew came through)
Anyways, loving your vids, loving the cichlids.....peace

Shrimp Society - 7 years ago

Great live stream. Great job, you truly are the King of DIY!

Evad Repooc - 7 years ago

I can't understand why you want to put wood in
It makes the swimming space smaller and can injure Arowana in particular
If I have people in to my home my Arowana go crazy and crash into the sides and cover
Just imagine you have a school party in with some banging on the glass (as they do)

therabbispliff - 7 years ago

the last piece of drift wood you should lay down flat, use the pockets/holes in it to separate different plants. and then in the center of it you can pile substrate and us the wood as a containing wall to create elevation in the tank!

Khawja Z - 7 years ago

Cichmck1 - 7 years ago

-- loved this video! the live streams are quite different that your usual content, but seem way more personal like we are actully their "talking fish" with you. -- sorry to hear about your misfortunes because of your videos. I went through similar things with my family and my dedication to art. I love your professionalism, and also how you ocasionally open up to your fans about your personal stuff. -- super cool that rachel will be their to see your build! and super cool+ that you do colaborations/guest appearence's with awesome people!!!-- Q&A is a good thing. I like how you switch between "work" and "Q&A" through out the video.
- the ONLYthing i didnt really like was the odd angles or not being able to see what you were doing very good. but considering the space, and you are a 1 man team you did pretty good.

Wolf - 7 years ago

if you put the piece of wood with the mesh effect upside down it will have more of an effect and look really nice.!

''My wood is extremely big, you might not feel up to par once you see it'' Did you really mean to say that, Joey?

Olivia Fizzy - 7 years ago

Have you ever thought about solar panels? Of course not using them as the only source of energy, but it saves a lot of money, my family had them installed a couple years ago, and it cuts down the bill a lot. It's really an investment long term wise.

Hay since you have stingrays maybe it would be a good idea to hang them down from the rim of the tank so that they don't touch the floor of the tank it makes it easier to clean the gravel

As far as electrical costs is there anything you could harness efficiently in your part of the world to help you out? Would the Solar energy harnessed in the summer months be worth the initial cost?

Joey, you are awesome. Thank you for all you do. I need to move up to a larger tank foe plecos and incorporate my orchids over the waterline. I've never seen anyone do this, so I'm going to order your book for ideas, to see what I can do to make this happen.

Shahril Sahit - 7 years ago

Congrats 400k.. i still remember the day i subscribed your channel.. that time just 3k.. so happy for u joey..

sakispa97 - 7 years ago

change the position of the ceiling lights, they look out of place and you might end up hanging other lights for the aquarium so that light might be in the way.

fish tank noob - 7 years ago

hey! my wood is extremely big too

Brandyn M - 7 years ago

Hi Joey. I was just wondering, I am from Ontario and have always wanted to go out east. If I come to Nova Scotia may I come and see your Fish House?????

CrackerJackBleow - 7 years ago

You should number the pieces so you'll have a plan/guide next time

Justin Simons - 7 years ago

Joey, as you asked about the Q&A it is nice both ways cause as much as I like watching all your vids about builds and the info that happens to give great ideas for myself, the seeing you with more definition of a person. Seeing you for who you are with your trail you endure. Being a big leader on youtube is only good when you are in balance with personal life, stay great in both if you can.

Yves Daigle - 7 years ago

I believe you can limit people post to once a minute, this would prevent some of the spam, and slow the chat down a bit.

Cali Cichlid Man - 7 years ago

My wood is big...LMAO

Gabe Dent - 7 years ago

If you want small peaceful fish get some swordtails and guppies

Srivatsa Gargesh - 7 years ago

Joey, I feel you're stocking too much of wood in the corner (near the outputs and inputs)

Gabe Dent - 7 years ago

Luv your vids

phillip thompson - 7 years ago

Dude you knew from the start all pussys like a good fish so the wife was coming back home lmao

Young Purch - 7 years ago

What was up with the family thing? they left you because of your hobby? You seem very depressed and sad in this video. are you okay ?

Chamaeleonx - 7 years ago

That was in the past, he said "for about 3 months". He also said that he proposed last year and is going to get married. Therefore everything should be okay.

Srivatsa Gargesh - 7 years ago

Now it's looking pretty good!

Blessed one - 7 years ago

Wow Thank you for sharing, lucky wife! Congratulations; -) So happyyyy for you. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Srivatsa Gargesh - 7 years ago

Deep Aquatics - 7 years ago

Asnl45 - 7 years ago

It was a great way to show how much you put into the regular videos, it was great to watch.

Srivatsa Gargesh - 7 years ago

it's going all good King!

MAVERICKMAX - 7 years ago

Joey it's driftwood ...the best way to aquascape is to imagine how would it be lodged when it was underwater..the more natural the better aquascape

Sebastian Curut - 7 years ago

your wood is extremely big?

Sean Clancy - 7 years ago

I don't really understand judging over something like this. The only thing that runs through my head watching the videos is 'that's frikken cool, I want one'

EDGY PAPIx - 7 years ago

Wait till you see my wood, my wood is extremely big ;)

John James - 7 years ago

I would love to see an Aquatic Frog tank. Praise kek.

idiotic gamer guy lol MINECRAFT - 7 years ago

chellshokr - 7 years ago

Don't you get overwhelmed with all the work it take to care for that many tanks especially all that care for the 2000 gallon tank?

tom mallais - 7 years ago

holy shit !! crazy wood man

Happy Fish - 7 years ago

yeah thats a pretty sexy peace of wood

Preston T - 7 years ago

Since I have gotten into aquaponics, Ive been watching your videos basically daily, your experience has helped out tremendously! Thanks for doing what you do!

Nancy Ware - 7 years ago

Just watched you play with your wood for over half an hour! LOL But seriously, add a few pieces close to the windows to add something to the foreground.

gunmaster 778 - 7 years ago

Nancy Ware thats the best joke today.

markie mark - 7 years ago

Thats cool you try to keep everything clean. Good moral thinking! love your videos!

Manuel Gallaga - 7 years ago

Marveltl Legend - 7 years ago

Joe - 7 years ago

I think you're pretty amazing too it's amazing what you learn and how you can apply it I have a 75 gallon brand new aquarium I just don't have the funds to set it up but a lot of my stuff I got inspired by you especially the algae curtain

Joe - 7 years ago

Congrats Joey!
The wood needs more of a flow to it. How are you going to secure it so it doesn't fall over on the fish?

jyackcon - 7 years ago

Awesome choice of wood

Can't wait to see this up and running

Congrats on everything man
You truly are an inspiration

If you don't mind me asking
where did you buy the wood? Seems impossible to find that big

xCLU7CH Cl7Yx - 7 years ago

Britt Pereira - 7 years ago

I enjoy your videos thanks for sharing.

Deacon Erin Kirk - 7 years ago

Eric Riddle - 7 years ago

Congrats on you and your wife Joey, that's awesome!

Lily Pattison - 7 years ago

Between 22 and 23 minutes did you swear. Sounds like you did.

Nimbis - 7 years ago

Just started getting into the hobby. I have a 50 gallon tank and my fish kept dying after 2 days. I caught a wild perch(Bluegill) about 4 inches with amazing colors. He has been alive for about 3 weeks. He eats tons of crickets.

Dawn Dawson - 7 years ago

That is some beautiful wood! Wow! Besides that...you crack me up!

Anon ymous - 7 years ago

First minute is a dick joke. Lol

SALTY FRESH - 7 years ago

Live stream was a bit to raw for my tasting personally, otherwise very excited to see some of the details of the tank coming together.

Christopher Tierney - 7 years ago

400k! The BOSS. Great job and Everyone spread the word. This is better than anything on cable.

Jan P. - 7 years ago

shouldn't the driftwood be away from the sides of the tank so you can clean better? Just curious.

jmunroe24 - 7 years ago

Good job.. just like all your vids. Looking forward to attending the 1 fish 2 fish meet up.

Roro - 7 years ago

Thank you for all the DIY videos

creegal - 7 years ago

Great...thank you!!!

Sharfin Bean - 7 years ago

Maybe a piece in the middle? Thinking that's what looks off that it's just all along the sides.

Styleknight ! - 7 years ago

sdq sdq - 7 years ago

too many small piece wood , u need to make it look like a one piece , stacking it look unnatural

KurtLawrence M. - 7 years ago

wow at 13:51 Tom Cruise!!? Side-freaking-view oh hey Tom Made a live!

Marysol Deeley - 7 years ago

Oh Wow! It takes me about 17 hours ish to upload a 35 min video from home. The video went well, I enjoyed it. I brought you all over my house and yard while I was working outside. Streamed really nice. Ate my battery though LOL That is going to be one Bad ass tank! Once it's full, you should throw your wife into it before climbing in with her :D You were right to get flustered by the comments. It was scrolling so fast, just a blur on my phone. No hope of reading any. Great Job Man.... You did get something to eat Eh?? .... and yes.... I stared at your wood, VERY nice :P

Nathaniel Hernandez - 7 years ago

Who thought the aquarium would be on top of the concrete not in it?

Frank Bill Salanio - 7 years ago

wahahahaahahaha your wood is soooo big. omg joey. hahajajahajahahaahaha

liam wharton - 7 years ago

Personally I'd like to see a central island kind of scape

Jared Hedger - 7 years ago

Yeah thats what I was thinking too. The whole time he's been creating this, thats what thought he was gonna do.

Swis ArmyFist - 7 years ago

A round island tank so the fishes can do circles

Charley Cox - 7 years ago

it would be amazing if it looked like a giant natural tree growing out from the back corner! nudge nudge! :P

Ivan Lolwing - 7 years ago

SRI LAKMASTER - 7 years ago

How about 360• live stream next time?

25Aditya25 - 7 years ago

Please do an update on your planted and reef tanks

Eric Riddle - 7 years ago

38:48 is not a bad look Joey

Dalton325 - 7 years ago

I think we can all agree here, that you'll deserve a hearty fist bump once your giant wood gets wet for the first time. And along that same vein. I think it would be super satisfying to see a time lapse of the tank filling up.

Chris Tierney - 7 years ago

Hey Everyone! Joey's the man! He should go on the Ellen Show, or something like that...what do you think? Joey would you do it? Biology, ecology, carpentry, a little electrical, ETC...should be in every classroom.

drblack66 - 7 years ago

Chris Tierney stuff that... the ellen show should go to him!

gutiersa - 7 years ago

won't the rays get hurt with the sharp edges of the driftwood?

Mitchell Johnson - 7 years ago

not sure if they have breeders in Canada or the US but a Saratoga or a barramundi would be awesome in this tank

DEEVAK LAXMIKAANT - 7 years ago

this was the best video i have ever watched for aquascaping

Meaghan Kelly - 7 years ago

lmao @ wood joke

Julius Johnson - 7 years ago

Bro, because of you..... I have gone further in my fish keeping hobby and have grand future plans on how to be a bigger and better fish hobbyist. Turn your back on the haters and always do what you feel is best for you.

retchille gil mambuay - 7 years ago

because of joey i save huge amount of money

Eric Riddle - 7 years ago

i don't think this is live anymore buy that back piece seems to be upside down

Eric Riddle - 7 years ago

there ya go. I spoke too soon

Fishin Bros - 7 years ago

Congrats on 400k

Miguel Castro - 7 years ago

i cant wait to see this projecte full build

Moose Takumi - 7 years ago

You inspired me to start the hobby. I'm now planning to get a 100 gallon freshwater aquarium. Think a 100 gallon can fit on most sturdy plywood tables? Great videos too, keep it up!

Steven Bourgeois - 7 years ago

Very impressive! I look at videos like this and some of the ones from Jenny at Solid Gold and I have to wonder how the hell you manage. Especially algae control and water changes. I struggle with that, especially algae control, in my 50 gallon tank and you have so much more to deal with!!!!

Lelani Dixon - 7 years ago

I think the larger pieces of wood have a delicacy to them and some of the smaller pieces were thicker, which may have been part of the problem with balancing the scape. Still, really amazing pieces and I'm sure once you get it the way you want it and add plants, as well as fish, this tank is going to be absolutely beautiful. I was working during the live stream, but watched the entire upload.

Paul Leahy - 7 years ago

Really enjoy your channel and learned lots from you, thanks for that! You said you are coming to Bermuda - will you be talking somewhere?

Giraffey Jackie - 7 years ago

Aren't you worried the arrowana will get snagged on wood?

Sarah Gillies - 7 years ago

I have so much respect for Joey and his wife, Much love x

Donald Trump - 7 years ago

I unliked ur video sorry

joeyballz7679 - 7 years ago

you'll be at reefapalooza? can't wait to see you there! watch out for us at the Mikesphyto Booth

Nathan Bonnell - 7 years ago

If I were scaping this tank, I'd bring the wood out away from the wall and make it look like it's growing into the middle of the tank. With it against the wall it makes the tank look flat with very little depth.

Realto Properties - 7 years ago

Your an inspiration dude!

killerninjao1o - 7 years ago

It would awesome if you could do a livestream of the tank once the fish go in. I'd love to be able to watch the rays just doing there thing.

Patrick Clark - 7 years ago

I think One big pile in the middle would look nice.

ker Ok - 7 years ago

man I love ur channel because of u I got fishes and I watch ur every video
I love it

Zaku186 - 7 years ago

Painting the floor a sandy brown would be awesome. it would have the look of substrate but the ease of cleaning. i hop you see this comment and consider it.

Danielle Chapman - 7 years ago

I remember you saying you will probably do an Australian tank, I'm so curious to see what fish you put in there.
I've seen people suggest some ridiculous ones that would be way too big for the size tanks you're doing along the wall. But I'm super excited to continue watching your progress.

thoms_here - 7 years ago

Great video thanks for doing it! BTW…who is "Jenny" that you were talking about meeting? Thanks!

Giraffey Jackie - 7 years ago

Sexy wood

Cory Burk - 7 years ago

sorry I missed the stream, but I'm watching it now on my 40" tv, lol looks awesome, can't wait to see it done. stream was very touching, so glad everything worked out and congrats on the engagement! Good luck and look forward to future videos.

Jason Louis - 7 years ago

what is super chat

SomethingReallyStrange - 7 years ago

Jason Louis I think it's when people donate money to comment. when live , the message stands out more which means there is a better chance that joey will see it, unlike the hundreds of comments happening all at once which joy would likely miss.

Tyrone Dunigan - 7 years ago

I've noticed the trend on YouTube towards live streaming. Maybe it's my age but I find them bothersome like how the sale of Dramamine increased with MTV's jerky ADD approach to music videos. Trying to keep up with chat comments and technical difficulties takes away from the subject matter. That's my own opinion and maybe my shortcoming but I'll keep coming here for my aquarium keeping fix. Thanks Joey.

9StickNate - 7 years ago

I like the idea of the driftwood. It's open and it will not constrict flow. Lot's of areas to attach coral frags.

Mike Moretta - 7 years ago

its going to be sweet

adms2 tune - 7 years ago

Try JBL test strips with the app there Quick easy and they do it all for you just dip and read!

Michael Feliciano - 7 years ago

Liked everything about the video. Learned more about you in this one. And your became more then just another video on youtube now. You have me really interested in what's going on and can't wait to see in all finished. I would have binge watched it all by now if I could. lol I do wish you were more into saltwater/reefing though.
I'm planing on starting a 40g reef tank myself and been surfing the web/youtube for ideas.
That's how I how I found your channel It was your video on DIY Over Flow that started me watching. Anyways keep up the good work and if I see you at Reefapalooza NY I'll say hi.

Bazookaboogie - 7 years ago
