removing and cleaning the substrate seems over the top to me. Vacuuming your substrate should be enough to turn it over and remove fish poop and other waste. There is good bacteria in substrate so cleaning it would reduce the amount of beneficial bacteria allow your ammonia levels to climb where they would be zero normally. Next time test your ammonia afterwards to see if they do indeed go up.
Pie-inator_5000

I used to take out the substrate sometimes and clean it thoroughly when I had fish. Do you think it's more important to just flip over the substrate and let the filtration handle most of the cleaning, or do you think that cleaning the substrate can be important?

Ive got a totally unrelated question for Joey.

First off loving your DIY video's, your enthusiasm is really contagious.

Now im thinking of building my own tank but sadly plexiglass/acryllic is extremely expensive here(The Netherlands) so i was looking into polycarbonate sheets as they are allot cheaper.

Now i know they are stronger then plexiglass but there is very little information on it beeing used for aquariums.

Do you know of its safe to use or if there's a reason not to use it?

I love your videos! I have a question on you canister filter. I have seen where the control valve goes bad very quickly if the power is not turned off before the selector is moved to a different flow setting. I may have missed the power being turned off before you changed the flow selector. I would hate to see a pump failure on such a beautiful tank. Keep up the good work.

I mean just saying like gallons of water is wasted, creating a bog filter pond can add scenic beauty to you're yard and also a place for the kids to play n swim in the hot summer days, not to mention that you could go into a new topic of the hobby as well.....

He's on a well so there is no water bill.   I imagine the electricity is a factor but he's built it to be as efficient as possible so I bet it's not too bad.   I've been thinking about a drip system myself, it sounds like a great idea and I could do it on my biggest tank.

Martin L.
Martin L. - 7 years ago
If you do add chlorinated water directly to your aquarium, be sure that your filter is off first to prevent killing the beneficial bacteria inside of it. After adding the dechlorinator to your tank, give it a minute before restarting your filter. Then you should be good to go

how frequently do you check your pH and nitrate levels? do you check any other levels? could you recommend any sources for research on what is the best level for tanks with a variety of different fish? Also, you've probably answered this in a past video, but which do you prefer, hang back filters or sumps? also I use a hang back filter, how can i make it to be near silent? you probably won't read this comment, but if you do. I really like what you're doing with the gallery and I can't wait to see what the future holds!
John SM
John SM - 7 years ago
He doesn't test anything, he doesn't need to as his water source is near perfect. He's not a normal fishkeeper, he's not even a very good fishkeeper. He's just lucky to have inherited a nice property with a spring water well on the plot. If you had a perfect water source, you'd be able to keep almost anything except for marine too.

Joey, you should specify that your water supply comes straight from a fresh water well. Anyone out there trying to emulate you might set up a drip system with bad chlorine or chloramine filled tap water. Not to mention the chance of back contamination and other problems that could arise from that type of drip system.

Sadly I'm most probably not wrong. I can't blame his wife though, having a hobby is very healthy, but putting that hobby before your family is not healthy at all. He once left his wife in the hospital having quite a serious procedure while he travelled for his youtube channel. Also the whole, "visiting" Goldie, probably created quite a bit of jealousy. The time it takes to make and edit all these videos is immense, much more work put into this channel than your average 9-5 job. Neglect, jealousy, frustration is more than most women can take. Also "Buddy" sacrificed himself for Joey, his death meant that his wife didn't get the house in the divorce!

Joey, mate, you make it look easy. I remember doing the water changes for my dad's parrot fish tank and it was the size of one of your wall tanks, but it was quite a bit of work. I do miss doing it though; poor little fella got sick and passed on.

Joey, how do you treat the water for chlorine or chloramine if it's constantly dripping new water into the system? I'd like to set up something like this but our water is loaded with chloramine and ammonia which has to be treated with Prime.

his water comes from a well not from a water tank or pumping factory. Well water doesnt have harmful chemicals in it, its just really hard water i.e. full of minerals.

Wensen Wang Epsom salt can be quite dangerous for fish when used improperly and shouldn't be recommended when you don't even know what the issue actually is. Also you say dropsy isn't curable as though dropsy is a condition. Dropsy is a sign of kidney failure which can be reversed depending on what is causing the organs to fail.
Wensen Wang
Wensen Wang - 7 years ago
Is he eating? If he is, and he is truly constipated, feed him some peas. Are you sure its constipation? If he looks bloated it could just be him eating too much. It could also be dropsy which isn't curable, but hopefully its not. You can also treat the tank with epsom salt. The treatment I use is 1tbsp/10gallons.
If your fish is female, it could also just be full with eggs

Now that you got me hooked to the idea of setting one up, I'm in the planning phase (investigating the market, available equipment, food sources, etc...) Looks like it's gonna be a 105 gallon community tank, which I plan to have ready to stock by February 2018.

absolutely not, the plants use the things you don´t want in your aquarium like nitrate, ammonia and phosphate as fertilizers. google aquaponics, they combine exactly these to things
A. B.
A. B. - 7 years ago
Sinto Joseph I get why you'd think that, but it's the exact opposite. There are no toxic compounds in it, just fish waste. That is basically like a fertiliser. Although he keeps his water pretty clean anyway.

Ted Michel he doesn't use any treatment on his tanks I think he has own well and all his water is from this well so he doesn't has to remove any chlorine etc. And in my opinion that's all anybody has to remove from the water fish are mostly bred in not natural conditions they get use to any water parameters without any special treatment. I have 20 plus years of experience never used chemical water treatment.

Wow so simple! I had a tank built for me long ago and the person that made it did a horrible job with placement of piping and made maintenance a pain! I also did water changes by the bucket so that didn't help either lol. I was only a kid :P

I have a major algae problem
How should i get rid of this as magnets and scrapers dont work

Well fight it at the source. Why don't you tell about your tank?
Best advice I can give for now is dial back the lights to 6 hours a day. Keeping light low is always the basic solution.
There is probably an imbalance tho. This can be due to overdosing fertiliser, going over the recommended 8-10 light hours a day, Tank receiving direct sunlight, overstocking, not enough water changes. Basically all simple mistakes cause algea.
Large amounts of plants help, and nerite snails can help keep algea down until the cause is fixed. I hope any of this was helpful.

I was always taught to turn off the pumps before switching pool filters from one source/mode to another. Really hard on the seals when you move it under pressure.

With all the new fish coming in (which has been great) it was awesome to see this kind of video focusing on the main tank in the gallery. Really cool video. Maintenance of the tanks in the gallery is one of the things I'm most interested in. Great job Joey.

In many ways your 2000G tank is some kind of training for your future koï pond (for the water change, cleaning filter...) plus, the biggest your tank is, the more stable it is.

Could you glue a thin layer of sand down around the perimeter? Just a thought. If that isn't a good idea you could paint the bottom tan to match the sand.

Why do you have mirrors in your tanks? I have to think fish aren't so smart that they don't see the reflections as other fish in the tank and that affects their behavior and causes them to congregate at the mirror.

Why don't you add some bushy/bristlenose plecos? They would of taken care of that algae & they would keep the tank looking nice. Best tank helpers imo.

Why not use rainX on the covers so the condensation just drips off on its own?

I feel like this is a good view on bigger aquariums being more forgiving when it comes to cleaning. If I don't clean my 10's very well one week it's very noticeable, but if I do a lazy job with my 35 it doesn't look any different :D
