The 230 gallon aquarium in our living room has been neglected for a long time when I lost access to it during the remodel. Now I am rebooting it with some new life!

i miss the jungle look

Keeping IT Fishy - 6 years ago

So I have the white hair like fungus on my manzanita, how do u keep yours clean and keep the fungus from growing?I’ve tried everything. I have 17 Tetras and 11 panda Corydoras and none of the fish eat it, it grows back rapidly

Ultimate Fishkeeping Show - 6 years ago

It will look fantastic in a few months. I look forward to seeing it in the near future.

Bob Saget - 6 years ago

Old growth evenly yellowing and dying back to feed new growth indicates nitrogen deficiency, most likely need all 3 macros NKP... dose the water keep it under 1600ppm won't hurt your fish and you will see explosive growth and less algae

Guppy the Koi - 6 years ago

Thumb nail got me

JC's Tanks - 6 years ago

When you scrape algae, should you siphon out the pieces / do water changes?

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

I usually have fish that eat it after it's scraped off, but you totally could. I usually do the water change after doing the algae scrubbing.

Tim's Tanks - 6 years ago

Thing there's something in the ether. The 125 I've talk of in live streams and such, I did the same thing. Was an African Cichlid tank, that was maintained and that's about it. So got the bug to move it, was going to do a reef, but, well, saltwater water changes. So it's now in the process of becoming a planted tank, with fish I've never kept and and have always wanted. Cory and Joel have been a great source of inspiration and information (like the fluval 2.0).

George Couling - 6 years ago

Hello I’m a new subscriber and a new fishkeeper I have a 70 liter tank and I want to get a Betta fish with neon tetras and oticinclus and one more shoal or school of 6 can you please recommend some? Thanks a lot Xx

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

How about some corydoras?

Sarah Matarese - 6 years ago

Is that a Murphy stuffed animal? My boyfriend had a custom puffer fish stuffed animal made for me for Christmas.

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

This one is made of out glass. Jimmy had it made for me for christmas

Too bad you’re burned out with African cichlids. Love me some Tanganyikans.

Faris Ahmad - 6 years ago

That does not look like the index finger in the thumbnail xD

KG cichlids - 6 years ago

I was wondering about this tank since when you had the laser cory Doras in it, looks great! can't wait to see it fill in more!

scampster401 - 6 years ago

Where on earth can I get those flag tails? They would look brilliant with my rummy noses

Anthony Ragan - 6 years ago

I have e. tenellus (dwarf chain sword) in my planted tank. It definitely likes your Easy Green, and it really likes CO2. It did well before I added pressurized CO2, but, after adding it, it was off to the races. It quickly carpeted every open space it could reach.

Candyfloss - 6 years ago

Never trust someone who edits their comment

jbond1957 - 6 years ago

I like the honesty and problem solving

Matthew Zito - 6 years ago

Is that a Denoson's Barb?

christian yraheta - 6 years ago

Do you have a sump in your aquarium Cory

Zane Batten - 6 years ago

You should do a group of glass knife fish. They get pretty big (males around 40cm and female closer to 20cm) but they have small mouths so won’t eat your other fish.

Aaron Harris - 6 years ago

You know he left the Dennison barbs because they are an absolute nightmare to try and catch in a planted tank....excellent fish though

Richard Fuentes - 6 years ago

Thats a beautiful tank!

Gun_Klub - 6 years ago

Gun_Klub - 6 years ago

Gore - 6 years ago

A bunch of filming of this tank wasn’t worth its own video??? Nonsense! YouTube was built on the 3 minute video. More please.

Catfish Cave - 6 years ago

Thanks for making that tank for me... Silver tips and Flagtail porthole cats.... what's going in next? More Silver tips? A peaceful eartheater?? Angels??? Hatchetfish???? I was expecting Dorkula to come into the room with her arms crossed and give you a scowl when you said, "...my tank..."

Michael Ngo - 6 years ago

Caleb Lopez-Sanchez - 6 years ago

The tank changed so much from when I last saw it!!! It used to be a jungle with all the wisteria and what were those fish attempting to breed in it?

FishDad1 Chad H - 6 years ago

Nice

JW Aquarium's - 6 years ago

Great video

Ed Staart - 6 years ago

Hello there mr McEllroy and mr Whiskey , I have a piece off Spiderwood like yours but it keeps growing fungus and I think it smells some times when I lift it to do my cleaning. , weekly 50 % water change . I am keeping rainbows in it. Will a uv light help me get rid off the fungus or is it a matter off time till it disappears? My tank is running for 2 months now. With the water changes I get rid off the most fungus but it's back in a day or two. The Spiderwood piece is filled up with mosses and java v windelov, that makes it not possible to brush it all the way. My wishes for you both are the best thinkable for 2018. Happy new year and thanks for your work last year, greetings from The Netherlands

Ed Staart - 6 years ago

Thanks for your positiv reaction, I knew it was harmless but the smell was a bit worrying. Best wishes to you for 2018

Neon Tetra Aquarist - 6 years ago

Ed Staart That fungas is absolutely and completely safe to all aquarium life. Shrimp, snails, and livebearers LOVE to eat it! It will go away with time (so on its own

Bradley Vaughn - 6 years ago

Roger Dedham - 6 years ago

So basically your taking over Dorkula's tank. Lol. I did the same thing to my wife's Betta tank

Matt’s Monster Fish - 6 years ago

Addictive Streamer - 6 years ago

The seagull from nemo in the thumbnail is great haha

Paul - 6 years ago

Cory, have you seen the MOAI? It's robotic algae scrapper & camera. does all the work for you and you can watch while you eat a taco. So good, and only about $200.

The Turtle Girl - 6 years ago

Lol the seagull from Finding Nemo in the thumbnail! MINE!!!

James Murphy - 6 years ago

Beautiful looking now. How does your first floor support the weight of the tank? What kind of stand is under the tank?

Josh Peck - 6 years ago

Why such a big tank for little fish

Is that an albino apisto?

Neon Tetra Aquarist - 6 years ago

They are Kribensis, actually

NanaForceToo - 6 years ago

I love that stand it's on, beautiful!

Humakt83 - 6 years ago

That algae carpet looked nice actually.

Natural Caridina - 6 years ago

You need micro nutrients in the water for the stratum to then absorb thus feeding the roots

LittleLargeMouth - 6 years ago

So glad to see “the wife’s tank”. I really liked it

A Gamer's Wife - 6 years ago

Love the silvertip tetras and flagtail catfish! Looking forward to seeing this tank's progress in the future.

Copper Canyon Aquatics - 6 years ago

Do I see a couple of FX6 's in the 230's future?

Would you use 2 aquaclear 110s or an fx6 or 4 with a spray bar on a 75 gal planted tank?

TheGolemHunter - 6 years ago

Copper Canyon Aquatics Go with canister filters, much better than hob and you only have to manage one filter.

Candi Overhuls - 6 years ago

+Aquarium Co-Op do u know anything about penguin tetras

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

They get about 5 or 6 inches as adults. They do need a school and a 75 would work

Courtz courtz - 6 years ago

Beetfarmer89 - 6 years ago

You must have a crazy amount of added floor support in your house! Q: How would one reinforce their floor for a large tank?

Adam Foster - 6 years ago

Was this the tank that used to have tons of water wisteria? I'm trying to make a 75 gallon like that.

Aquarium Co-Op - 6 years ago

Same tank, yes

Tina Cuppernell - 6 years ago
