Joey, have you thought of a 24hr livestream setup of the new gallery? could be a good promotional tool, aswell as good way for you to checkin at any given time.

Lars Hansen - 6 years ago

Are you Canadian? :)

what jlydon29 is saying is that you're going to have to pee on it

T Pijls - 6 years ago

bridge over the 2000gallon? would not be usefull its not that big and ceiling is not that high...

jlydon29 - 6 years ago

Joey. Do NOT forget to neutralize the acid etch. Rinsing is not enough. You must use ammonia to neutralize. Otherwise, the acid will continue to break down the limestone beneath the epoxy, and cause inevitable bond failure. Likely the viewing panel falling off, first. I own a decorative concrete company, and work with epoxies everyday. It's a cheap, simple step, but most bypass and run into problems.

Luis Andrade - 6 years ago

The king of DIY why don't you do a bridge joey? it would be really useful.

Karen Mcisaac - 6 years ago

It looks fantastic Joey !

Kristen Minuti - 6 years ago

I love what you did with the scape. It looks so much better!

Sierra White - 6 years ago

if nothing else depending on the epoxy he is using he could actualy use that to cover sand/rocks for a more textured bottom that is still nice and even

alex king - 6 years ago

They aren;t very hard to keep just need very good water quality and also the need to eat shellfish to wear don their teeth. OR you can do surgery and cut its teeth everyone in a while. And yes it is true freshwater.

JustAnotherOne1 - 6 years ago

The king of DIY Thanks! Joey! I enjoy watching your channel and learned how to do a lot of DIY and saved a lot of $$$ too. Can't wait to see how it will look like once it's completed. All the hard work will pay off and it is satisfying to watch and admire it at the end. Keep the videos coming.

DJK DJK - 6 years ago

Any chance you can glue sand to the bottom of your tank so it looks good and its not much work :]

Jacob Schuh - 6 years ago

The king of DIY How often do you lift?

Dark Shadows Reviews - 6 years ago

The king of DIY atleast put "paneling" on the back like coral panel or something of that sort

Dark Shadows Reviews - 6 years ago

The king of DIY don't you feel that the aqua scape should be bright and vibrant, a bit different rather than the dark tanks you do, especially some very colorful fish just my opinion, or even just putting more items in the tank such as greenery and corals

The king of DIY Joey you put the Diy in the Diy!!! you are the aquarium boss .lol

OtherGuyHD - 6 years ago

robasace he said he going to pressure wash the wood. That will dull the sharp edges.

Roberto René Aguilar Villarreal - 6 years ago

she asked him to take it apart after one month, she wanted her desk back(where the tank was installed) and Joey does not want toforce his kids to get in the hobby

TheSNOTTBALL - 6 years ago

alex king how easy are they to keep? and are they true freshwater or brackish?

NortheastTexasBassin' - 6 years ago

The king of DIY time to make yout daughters tank update

robasace - 6 years ago

The king of DIY You should cut the sharp ends off the wood as you wouldn't want it to damage any of the fish. and I know it might take away some of the looks but it's really not going to matter once all the plants have grown

Leo Edge - 6 years ago

dj3 lit tha dark master - 6 years ago

Dave Giles - 6 years ago

Maybe add a pair of like convicts or something small to live in an around the wood, and breed out, the rays n arrowana should keep numbers in check, might add another level of interest. Just saying

Dave Giles - 6 years ago

The wood you have is perfect, and once you get the plants on, it should look amazing !

I love your gallery Joey!! Everything is coming together nicely. my only question is, "are you worried about the arowana jumping out?" Good luck with the rest of the build, cant wait to see the gallery completely finished!

Won't the arrowana jump ?

Tommy Ohlrich - 6 years ago

More stingrays! Awesome! Good to hear ur taking the plunge again. Best of luck!

Evan n - 6 years ago

I want to get a massive tank, maybe not this big and let two guppies populate it to see how that works but they would probably get all in bred and die huh?

Pole's Reef - 6 years ago

Hard to get a sense of the depth of the scape on camera, but it looks great!

You probably already know this, but Purigen soaks up tannis like no other. I have used it several times. You can regen it once it gets completely exhausted and then put it back to work.

Mathew Wilson - 6 years ago

Hey Joey you may want to put a barrier at the end of shelves closest to the 375 gallon tank. I could see something falling from them by accident and slamming onto your aquarium cover or splashing into it.

Sansa Stark - 6 years ago

Everything looks great Joey, can't wait to see the fish in place. Going to be great!

HeyYouSlavesGoHangYourOwner - 6 years ago

You should also put a lot of neon tetras in the huge tank

Daniel Galun - 6 years ago

I'd put one or two more pieces on top, you said it was supposed to reach out of the water, so why not build it taller and put some land moss and stuff on that part

dominicanoboy100 - 6 years ago

I wanted to ask you one question. Is it bad to take off the black trim on your 55 gallon fish tank ? Does it really need it for support ? Thank you.

Plutonic Footluh - 6 years ago

Chris Jones - 6 years ago

Any tips on getting driftwood to sink? I have some nice pieces and some are mounted on stone slabs but most isn't. I've been soaking it for about a month with some weight on it but it still wants to float.

Chris Jones - 6 years ago

They are pretty good sized pieces. Two of them are mounted on a slate base and they still float, I wasn't even bothering to soak them until I put them in a tank and they just floated about mid way up, lol. I'll just have to keep waiting, which is not something I'm great at, thanks.

what are you gonna put in there?

kraxetk - 6 years ago

Joey be careful when etching the concrete. Use a respirator, ventilate the area well. Watch out for the oversprays.

kraxetk - 6 years ago

Oh, wear goggles and cover your skin too.

The Tetra - 6 years ago

The tank is looking amazing. I love everything about it. The steps, the windows, and that huge piece of bogwood. It'll look insane once you cover it with plants. I can't wait to see it finished.

Emil13able - 6 years ago

Why do you not have sand in the tank for the sting-ray?

ashcan1979 - 6 years ago

My opinion for the door.
Pop off doors held in place with magnets.
That way if you need to do work under there you can completely remove the doors and set them aside.
Looks great so far, cant believe you found those huge pieces of drift wood they are amazing.
Your channel has helped me get into the hobby and keep my fish happy/healthy and my tank looking great.

Da Bellman Zoo - 6 years ago

hi Joey first let me say that I really enjoyed your channel and it is extremely inspirational I'm kind of new to YouTube is far as create a channel and all that jazz so I'm not sure if this is the correct Avenue to ask you this question my wife and I want to put and Aquarium outside on our patio we live in Arizona it is covered it will basically be for koi and goldfish I'm not worried about the temperature already have that figured out being a poor working-class kind of guy LOL and not one to spend thousands of dollars on a large acrylic Aquarium I am thinking of building a plywood Aquarium do you believe this would be suitable for outside with limited exposure to the elements are there plans in your book for such a build obviously I would have to change Dimensions according to our space but just curious again I enjoyed watching all your videos and they have helped me quite a bit in my adventures in the hobby

Hey, Joey, If you have time to read all these questions.....how are you protecting the top, as we have seen how much these guys like to jump?.

The king of DIY . I figured I may have just missed that part. looking forward to watching the rest of this build.

The king of DIY - 6 years ago

+CDN Reefing I have mention a lid a few times

SoulReality - 6 years ago

I have a solution to ALL of your hobbies problems. Just make a pond out of a in ground pool or a dug out hole with cement. The fish need the outdoors as well. I think instead of this big 2k gallon tank project that you should go for a pond or mini-lake. Also, I just saw the Ray's death video ;( I had catching up on videos to do and came across it. So sorry man. (I know it's old but it stills gets to me.)

Will Alvarez - 6 years ago

I know you have said that the Arowana likes to jump. What plan do you to prevent it/ protect your self against the insadent that happened when your wife was working out.

Ronald Evans - 6 years ago

man I can't wait until you finished your a fish tank I think I'm more excited than you are to see the end results of your fish room you doing an excellent job keep up the good work and you expire many people around the world.

McPuff's Laboratory - 6 years ago

Joey, the 'scape looks terrific and I have to say I'm glad you decided not to use all of the pieces. I also like that you pulled it away from the back wall. It's going to look even better once the plants are established as well. Well done.

andy stokes - 6 years ago

I know it is not possible due to the other fish that are going in there but I think it would look awesome with a shoal of Cardinal Tetras, I mean a proper shoal of perhaps 3-4000 individuals.

Tan Desmond - 6 years ago

I'm from Malaysia

SachiMochi - 6 years ago

On the wood, see if you could find Bolbitis heudelotii, microsorum pteropus (narrow leaf), anubias sps and java fern on it. They would look awesome. Check Takashi Amano videos on them. You might like what I am talking about. All the best.

Enrique Geanini - 6 years ago

Dune666 Emperor - 6 years ago

i would put some sort of hand rail for example for when you walk around the back of the tank to clean it so you dont fall into it. as cool as that would be as a fail video i personally still dont want to see that.

SerpaDesign - 6 years ago

It all looks really good and the selection/placement of driftwood looks great as well. I know you want to add a rocky look to the exterior of the 2k, but imo I think the simplicity of its current look will showcase the fish more and matches the overall aesthetic of the room quite nicely.

just a thought regarding the arowana jumping, what about a small vertical glass or acrylic wall around the top of the tank just to act as a shield? would allow a bit more water height and therefore an even larger water body.

303biggdaddy - 6 years ago

can you give some recommendations for a good place to purchase 2in thick acrylic for my 540 gallon fish tank? that I want to build. thank you!!!

Dakota Brown - 6 years ago

Why did you paint the outside if you still have to wait to spray off calcium, sounds counter productive

OFFICER TIGER - 6 years ago

Oh my god Joey you are awesome man. That tank is going to be an absolute pleasure to view! Keep up the good work!

Zbionix / Caleb H. - 6 years ago

Its all sooo nice XD good work joey

Jean Rey Hinaut - 6 years ago

did you get your biceps to pop in the process of building this big-ass concrete tank, Joey? I built a smaller version of your tank and is in the process of curing as well. Thanks for the awesome DIY videos, it saves us DIY dummies a whole lot of time and money. More power DIY King!

CJ and Auntie Yaya - 6 years ago

The wood placement looks much better now than the livestream. It always looks cool when fish swim around and through and under the scape.

FINIS08 - 6 years ago

I would do full panels that would come off. Doors in that spot look like it might cause it to become a little cramped area for cleaning and maintenance.

d3d1y - 6 years ago

I love this arrangement for the Malaysian bog wood! This looks good from every angle, including from above the tank! Just beautiful.

Jake Veltman - 6 years ago

Use magnets to hold the panels for the 375 on

KayozKong - 6 years ago

MARK MY WORDS!!!! you're going to come home one day to find the arowana has jump out of the big tank and onto the floor. needs mesh on the top or something.

KayozKong - 6 years ago

lol alright good. it looks amazing so far! Good luck with it.

That looks like a lot of stuff in the tank

Dan Gavioli - 6 years ago

The scape looks fantastic!

Punchy Scyllarus - 6 years ago

re: filtration efficiency (via your sump and cannister), do you plan to have your inflows far and away from the outflows? just curious, as you mentioned you plan to have vegetation covering that wood divider thingy structure, which could reduce flow.

grats on 400k btw :)

Irfancooking - 6 years ago

I see at this point there are 112 thumb downs to this clip...112 watching the something evolve that's apparently above thier level. Please go watch something else. This is the KING OF DIY FISHKEPPER TEAM. Hate beaters, please go elsewhere if you don't want to learn & enjoy this awesome journey.
Great job Joey. Love seeing how your vision is coming together. Can't wait for the filter setup on this tank.

Glenn Douglas - 6 years ago

Hey joey the scape looks a lot better then the live stream scape.
My question for you is are you going to be using a substrate or sand or will be flat bottom for easy cleaning?

Dominick Shauntee - 6 years ago

I really like what you did with the aquascape only change or addition i might consider is in the corner where both viewing windows meet use one of the smaller but taller pieces of wood you have left to to make an additional smaller point of interest with-in the aquascape ...

Nolan Andrew - 6 years ago

U should put in sliding doors.

Daniel P. G. - 6 years ago

Looks amazing. But I'd (big "I" there) center the scaping. This way if fish decide to hide behind it, you will always have an angle to see them through the windows. The way it is, you'd be able to see them only from above (if hidden). I know you won't have this kind of problem with the arowana, and probably not with the rays either, but you said you have plans for more fish so... Who knows what will happen in the future, you definitely don't want to have to get inside there to move it once filled with water and rays because your new fish is hiding.

Mitchell Lubline - 6 years ago

careful walking on the edge of the tank man we don't need you hurt nor do all the fish you care for. looks awesome so far and a bit of space blocks for an arrowanna will be good for him with the plumbing in the tank. and that wood build looks like an extremely cool old wooden ship after five centuries buried in the ocean. as for live plants are you talking bacopa the super weed of the aquarium world or anubias the super shrub?

FeEL1OO - 6 years ago

For the stand, you should do a sliding door..

Nolan Andrew - 6 years ago

Exactly.

DA7545 - 6 years ago

Sliding doors that are also removable for bigger jobs down there.

Nolan Andrew - 6 years ago

I agree tho

Nolan Andrew - 6 years ago

You're going to fall into that tank and hurt yourself and some fish... mark my words! Be careful up there lol

ANYTHING 23 - 6 years ago

I said during your livestream you should put some rocks in there

Penny - 6 years ago

The scape looks great! I'm glad you downsized from the 7 pieces you worked with in the live stream. I was thinking that day that you really want to showcase those beautiful pieces rather than overwhelming the space with too much busy mess. And you've done that - well done!

Fanrogh - 6 years ago

@ rgw king of DIY what about sliding doors for the 375 stand that way you get both doors and the ability to remove the panels totally :) just a suggestion

DA7545 - 6 years ago

I agree, I think that is clearly the best solution.

Folix St-Lolrent - 6 years ago

Looks really cool in my opinion and thru a screen, definitely a plant worthy setup and with the right flow, the effect will be awesome!

carlmelo - 6 years ago

Wood scape looks cool. Reminds me of skeletal remains of some extinct creature.

david Morrill - 6 years ago

much better. the minimalist approach is more attractive. with the added plants you will have ample decoration

Stryyde - 6 years ago

So remind me. the 2k gallon is for the arrowana and rays?

Most of it was covered by personal loans and the fundraiser. Also, he mentioned a few brands are sponsoring it partiality. I imagine a good amount of money from book sales and ad revenue went into it too

Nancy Ware - 6 years ago

I think this 'scape is it. Take LOTS AND LOTS of pictures as you remove it!

Karl Atreides - 6 years ago

The gallery is looking good Joey and the wood setup in the tank is perfect, just enough wood without overdoing it.

i don't even build or own any aquariums i just happen to stumble upon this channel when i was watching videos on shrimp lol
but i have to say i love checking out all the cool stuff, you can tell there's lots of time and effort put into this stuff its really interesting. love the content man

Please don't use the wood. Bad idea

Владимир пушкин - 6 years ago

now all u need is the boat!

Olivier colacino - 6 years ago

arn't you afraid for your biggest arowana to jump out of the massive tank ?

Lisa T - 6 years ago

could you take 1 or 2 small pieces of that super thick acrylic and prop up the driftwood a bit more for even better clearance for the rays. rounding the corners is a given to prevent scratches but it might work really well especially if you want to add more pieces. the last little thing is maybe add a common plecco or somthing equally as good at hiding but great at cleaning up algae from plants. Wildcaught clown plecco might do really well especially since they would be used to hiding from Predators.

Kimsotus Orelius - 6 years ago

Place a bug zapper over the tank, boom, free food!

Wes Lee - 6 years ago

Dang! The driftwood in that arrangement makes it look like a fossil.

Daniel Bell - 6 years ago

That ledge you sit on on the big tank view port.. You could build a kind of bench there for sitting/laying on, where you can chill out in front of your fish

Nic Chauvin - 6 years ago

I'd love to have this as a tank for tetras or rainbows.

The DutchGamingNoob - 6 years ago

It looks amazing and its not even finished yet

Furkan Şehit - 6 years ago

Omg this room looks like so good

Franz von Köller - 6 years ago

You've probably thought about it, but wouldn't it be amazing to have some tropical water-lilies in the tank? maybe on the opposite corner than the driftwood. Just a little idea, don't know how it would work with the arowana But big tanks with water-lilies look amazing in my opinion, the shifting shade it creates on the bottom and watching them from underneath the water is so cool.

Dark Helmet - 6 years ago

you needed 10 minutes to show us a piece of wood.

Zach Bomek - 6 years ago

looks great! love the videos and this project! I've seen mopani pieces needing a soaking to log or even to stop heavy "bleeding" from log. hope they are still "water logged" best of luck! really wanna see this thing filled up

AJs Realm - 6 years ago

at 3:42 you look so tiny; like if you agree

Victoria R - 6 years ago

The scape looks so good! I can't wait to see it all done and what tank mates you choose! any chance we could also get an update on your FH? I love that little guy and it's been a few weeks!

About the scape, my anxiety is begging me to ask you how you plan to secure it if at all? I would be SO afraid of the arrowana bumping it just right and a ray getting squished!

Jordan Varner - 6 years ago

dang, if you added java ferns to the driftwood it could create such a cool piece over a year or two for it to grow.

Jordan Varner - 6 years ago

lol and then you said that you wanted to cover it in plants haha

MrFatboydk - 6 years ago

Am i the only one seeing this as a pond?..NOT an aquarium!!

For the doors on the 375 you should put like sliding doors on them so they open kinda like a closet

are you not afraid the arowana is going to jump out of the tank?

OtherGuyHD - 6 years ago

Kevin b he has said time and time again that he is going to have a lid on the tank when he isn't recording

Amazethebum - 6 years ago

The decoration looks very sharp might knock off a few scales

eza307 - 6 years ago

Much much better scape!

David Van Deest - 6 years ago

I really like how put the wood together. But I think wouldn't cover the hole structure with plants. What do you think about some rocks and bolders around and in front of the wood? I also can recommend to epoxy the bottom with sand in it. Than it will look like it has a substrate but the rays will not be able to move it around.

Michael Tette - 6 years ago

Looks awesome

M. K. - 6 years ago

Great scaping Joey. When I was watching live stream I wasn't convinced to the contruction but now I think that it looks how it sholud. Can't wait to see plants on the driftwood and fish swimming around :) Best regards from Poland;) You do a brilliant job man!

Amber Sherry - 6 years ago

That wood looks really neat, I like what you did with it! So I know you will have the big asian arowana in here, will you not be putting the smaller one in too? and how will you catch your big one- a huge net, or by hand when the water s low? love watching how your room is changing and growing, it looks awesome!!

Dan Buchanan - 6 years ago

I Can tell even with out the aquariums the sounds in there are much better and a lot less echo.

Ron Tropics - 6 years ago

That's gonna look awesome covered in live plants! Great work.

Asnl45 - 6 years ago

Looks really good, I can see how natural it will look once planted.

Morgs Hawk - 6 years ago

Will you be adding any more fish other than the Arowana and the rays?? I think a small school of clown loaches would be cool. Maybe 4 or 5. They will be too big for the rays and arowana to eat, but won't be too big to put in the aquarium. Loving how the new aquarium room is turning out!

fem kilo ॐ - 6 years ago

Very impressive! I'm looking forward to the video of you telling how you fell in to the 2k gallon tank!

Lee Sotiropoulos - 6 years ago

Yea definitely better setup. Before it was a cluttered mess, sometimes less is more. Still iffy on the inside gunna be white paint over black. Black paint wouldl make it harder to see your type of rays, but really show off the arowana, guess its a compromise. -55gal rope fish owner.

Leave the wood out

Zoara Luna - 6 years ago

I think the coolest part of the video is all the perspective shots. I knew the tank was large, but wow, it is huge.

Helveteshit - 6 years ago

@Joey / , That portion you said sticking out for your Arowana, place some plants that can grow without substrates on that portion? Once it builds up a little bush, it will minimize the risk of the Arowana pushing against it, no? Will also add some passive filtration to your tank. And with it being near the surface, light levels won't be an issue.

thebearclaw0 - 6 years ago

looks amazing man. I'm just worried about your foundation having problems with all that weight

Day5 Aquatics - 6 years ago

The black water look would be pretty cool for the fish going in there. I know it won't do much for the colors of the fish but it would be a neat look.

rcisourmiddlename - 6 years ago

Are you gonna have a lid or something to prevent the fish from jumping out ???

cram1nblaze - 6 years ago

Lirbs - 6 years ago

Your channel is really an inspiration. I thought I'd never have fish, but here I am with an aquarium. It's basic, only thirty-six gallons and housing two firemouth cichlids - nothing compared to what you've got! But, it's a start, and I can see my future full of tanks and exotic fish thanks to you! Keep up the awesome content!

Food Scientist - 6 years ago

why dont you apply a thin coat of clear epoxy on the wood? Wont it stop the wood from releasing tannins in the water. Given the depth of the aquarium even a little bit of brown hue will be amplified.

Chad W - 6 years ago

are you thinking about putting shrimp in the big tank?

A27 Killer - 6 years ago

Add a light white substrate... it would look great with the rays and it would also cover up that concrete bottom.

Dankerkitty - 6 years ago

I think you should put 100's of shrimp in there after the plants are planted. If they are compatable with everything esle in there of coarse

Devin R - 6 years ago

If I had a tank that big I would get a shark. Very nice arrangement on the wood

rakiest - 6 years ago

@The King of DIY

I've got a suggestion -- You might want to sand down some of the sharpest edges on your driftwood, especially if you're still concerned that your arowana will run into it if startled.

Dawn Booth - 6 years ago

hey Joey, where can I order the Pond Shield? I'm excited to build my own plywood aquarium but I'm having trouble finding the stuff.

I think it will look great with the plants all over it nice job

Jack McCoy - 6 years ago

Im not sure if having some of your "large wood" out of the water, because you couldn't put plants or anything of that sort onto it (aside from "land" plants). Since you're intending to soften the two prongs that are going to be coming out of the water, it may be a good idea just to cut them off. Just a suggestion. Love the scape!

did you do a few lines of coke before this video? holy energy

Bhashya Kishore - 6 years ago

nice placement of the drift wood, Joey! it would make a nice home for a fine exotic pleco

QoQ Royals - 6 years ago

less is more!! this scape is PERFECT!!!

Dewey Bussell - 6 years ago

I like it

Rachel Smith - 6 years ago

I am literally soooo excited to see this complete. Bloody love your videos!! Best fish channel by farrrrr!

7catstied2gether - 6 years ago

Joey, don't you still have to etch and epoxy the concrete? Why scape it first?

Billy Henry - 6 years ago

Get rid, and get some red wood, an arrow looks great with red tinted water

Joe Fallgatter - 6 years ago

Where did you get Malaysian bog wood that large? Would love to know!

David M - 6 years ago

All he said was "the guy is all out". Considering how much Joey has, I can see why!

Sean03Cobra1 - 6 years ago

Put some peacock bass in there

Lazy Weeb - 6 years ago

You will add sand and something on the walls on the inside right?

Boombox cat - 6 years ago

why did u do the hardscape without acid etching first? won't the acid react with the drift wood when you do the ground???

Szu-Ping Tu - 6 years ago

Joey, I LOVE your choices of wood, and you have an artist hiding in you!

Larry Markham - 6 years ago

what I'm wondering about maybe you a covered it and I have missed it but with the Asian arowana are you going to have some type I'm covering in case it gets spooked and jumps so that you don't find it on the floor.

Sickface Reefing - 6 years ago

You should make the panels slide to the left side

Tl Tl - 6 years ago

Hey java moss is going to be your best friend on the scape cause it's in expensive and can take a beating with those fish

Vasco MvR - 6 years ago

For the stand doors, just put some magnets and make the whole panel removal, its gonna look cool and provide easy access!

AVI ANAND - 6 years ago

PAINT IT BLACK

Cody Brovont - 6 years ago

The ad before the video was for a pump to pump out flooded basements, how ironic

The Home Less Raccoon - 6 years ago

This is my opinion personally but you should hang some moss or a long leaved plant down the middle of the big hole in the wood I think that would look beautiful

Gib_one - 6 years ago

How do you prevent the fish from jumping out? Will there be some kind of cover? Guess it would be hard to find one without ruining the overall looks and feel of it.

Krystina Guynn - 6 years ago

shout out to those of us that watched his entire live stream when it was live

Lelani Dixon - 6 years ago

Beautiful! You used the three pieces that have that delicate look (despite their size) instead of the thicker pieces, which really makes it flow. The gallery is really coming along so fast and you're doing such a great job of paying attention to details. Lots of preplanning, but it will certainly pay off in the future. What about one of the left over smaller pieces of wood in the front corner between the two viewing panels? Just something tall, but again, taking up very little floor and swimming space, maybe just filling in the corner itself with some flowing plants attached.

Adam Sean dubstep - 6 years ago

I would make a bunch of rock towers if u know wat I mean. Not sexual. Ha now u thaught about it

sharp iguana - 6 years ago

the wood looks bad and ugly

FreePyy - 6 years ago

Is this all? Haha

ScottsTanks - 6 years ago

Joey, where did you get the bogwood? I have a 120 to scape and would love to use a big wood centerpiece

Gareth Hook - 6 years ago

Can the Bog wood not stick out the water? it might look good as if the wood was once a tree and half sticks out the surface. but then more pressure on the key contact points the higher it goes.

PhantomFox666 - 6 years ago

do sliding doors

Vince B. - 6 years ago

Nice video Joey, what other fish are you planning. Some peacock bass and Datnoids will compliment your sting rays nicely. Tons of personality too. Keep up the good work.

keanu r - 6 years ago

Looks good bra!

Yongkeat goh - 6 years ago

you should consider the risk of your arowana jumping out of the concrete tank. One of mine jumped out of its pond and died...

Delia Brown - 6 years ago

Yongkeat goh He plans to have a cover for the tank. I think it was maybe two updates or so ago that he talked about it? Something like that.

Roi - 6 years ago

added to bucket list: build a concrete aquarium.

Jared L. - 6 years ago

It looks much better centered and with just the 3 pieces of wood. It'll be a lot easier to clean the back walls! And you're ratio of wood to open water looks perfect. Have you thought of the possibility of adding a few large stones to the scape as well? Looking amazing Joey!

Pete Diesel - 6 years ago

Looks great Joey :-)

the viper - 6 years ago

awesome aquarium

Tentacle Slinger - 6 years ago

My recommendation for the doors would be to make it open vertically. you dont have much room to swing those open so something that just lifts straight up would be pretty cool.

xdiamonddebx - 6 years ago

love the scape in the tank with the plants it's going to look like a cave (i think) excited to see it develop

Zk6 YT - 6 years ago

Use it as a swimming pool

sphinx sphinx - 6 years ago

concrete... LOL

John Hazlewood - 6 years ago

what a difference it looks so much better. As they say less is more!

kev blaylock - 6 years ago

get a arapaima

Sudhir Badbe - 6 years ago

if your heating the bottom of the tank won't the sting rays have problem?

nederlands100 - 6 years ago

Keep it like this, BUT: add one wood part in the corner of the 2 windows, something small just to make the square a rounded edge if thats clear to you... so if u look to the windows you'll be able to see some more detail

Cichlids 5 Aquatics - 6 years ago

I would put Java fern, moss, bolbitos , Anubias and bucephalandre.

P0HTAT0 - 6 years ago

A school of Nano fish in the mix would be awesome the rays couldn't care less and the arowan will more than likely ignore them.

Loading Please wait - 6 years ago

Use Java moss! I think it will look incredible as it makes wood look aged and wise

Jason Boone - 6 years ago

Love the scape man. keep this up.

Drew Vliet - 6 years ago

The gallery is making leaps and bounds, cannot wait to see this thing done and all the fish moved over!

cool dude 1234 - 6 years ago

U r simply amazing can't wait to see arowana swimming In Tht tank

Felice Santoro - 6 years ago

Looks great Joey! Thanks again!
I would put one more piece extending from the center outward towards the larger opening in the tank, resting on the lower middle portion of what's there and touching the bottom of the tank in just one spot.

BR RA - 6 years ago

i prefer if u didnt place any woods inside its taking too much space

A B - 6 years ago

Hello,

I am really excited to all what you are presenting, however we really missed the real mini DIY projects that you used to do it, we know that you have those soon, but could you add those video somehow to your channel?

Chelleigh Lee - 6 years ago

Oh my God, it's AMAZING!! All of it is just mind-blowing. I'm jealous and envious of your ability to create these structures and give your fish the perfect life. Far too many people take up fish-keeping too lightly and the fish end up suffering. A lot of people could learn a thing or ten from you. Best of luck in the final stages.. can't wait to see the final outcome!!

Ashton Dunn - 6 years ago

You should get your logo as a decoration in the 300 something gallon tank it would look awesome

Summer Marie - 6 years ago

Looking good

awsome1286 - 6 years ago

love the aquascape Joey can wait til next week

Cole Stiefbold - 6 years ago

Yes this is what I wanted you to do from the beginning I hated the last scape. It looks natural

ill have Uh, uhhh - 6 years ago

That fish tank is larger than my bedroom why

AlwaysChangingMind - 6 years ago

You should do some magnetic door for the 375. This way it comes clean off.

Ján Švasta - 6 years ago

When will you fill it (i cant wait !!!)

Ruben Valdez - 6 years ago

where do you get your dirftwood?

Rob Hicks aquariums - 6 years ago

love the scap now great job

SSJChar - 6 years ago

between the desk and 200gal tank you need to put/make a loveseat so you can sit with a book or laptop and just relax next to the tank or even take a nap

Lucas TV - 6 years ago

Its gonna be so nice when it's done

Warped - 6 years ago

so dissapointed. should've been an enormous reef ;)

Anya Schmidt - 6 years ago

Wouldn't the wood scratch the stingrays skin?

Ross Tuskey - 6 years ago

Love the wood layout. I think it's perfect!

Enrique Subiela - 6 years ago

good luck

Donna Kate Morgan - 6 years ago

looks great

aiden brotherton - 6 years ago

looks good now can't wait till you finish it going to be amazing Joey

Jody VanDeBogart - 6 years ago

It's going to be stunning once it's planted!

Dakota Haley - 6 years ago

Did you try to put the wood in a circular motion making it easier for the rays to swim around? Have like the skull looking piece be the center and your long pieces sticking straight up, like a bone fire look. You feel me?

Beau Liening - 6 years ago

Looking awesome! Can't wait till it's done!

Pierce's Gecko - 6 years ago

is he adding substrate? that would be pretty cool

JTB Reptiles - 6 years ago

Two words: can't wait

MsJodiemay - 6 years ago

Can't wait to see your fish in there. Looks so good. Can't wait to see that wood with all plants on

Nike Swoosh - 6 years ago

You really get stuff done! Respect ✊

Jonathan Christian - 6 years ago

yeah, that aquascape looks good.. what i ment by saying that the rays wouldn't like the last scape was because it had too much ground contact...keep up the good work bro

Dodi Sutton - 6 years ago

looks amazing!

Flyingdutchy33 - 6 years ago

Considering most time is spent looking down into the tank from above, it may be worth considering painting the ceiling black to prevent reflections. Awesome build, really looking forward to the next phases!

Will Hodgson - 6 years ago

It's all coming together so well now! This gallery is going to be the best thing to ever happen to YouTube! You're the man Joey!

Richard Shackelford - 6 years ago

Gallery looking good Joey. Like the drift wood

Ster Bott - 6 years ago

What fish do you plan on putting in the tank?

Powerpickle68 - 6 years ago

I really liked the decision with the wood because I believe that less is more.

Grant Martinez - 6 years ago

just buy your fish a damn lake

luvsiberians - 6 years ago

Looks awesome! Love the driftwood and can't wait to see it with plants!

Kuentin Hyuga - 6 years ago

what kind of fish is he getting?

joey the conure - 6 years ago

My pet bird is called joey

K Everett - 6 years ago

I like it!

juntistik - 6 years ago

Finally a planted tank.

Peppa Pug - 6 years ago

just a idea but i think you should try and reshape the ends of the wood. the strait saw line where it has been cut dosent look very natural and reshaping it wouldn't take long at all. Great video as always and what a exciting time to be subscribed to this channel.

Daryl Blackburn - 6 years ago

looks great buddy

Angel Ashley - 6 years ago

I love the wood setup!

YourBrother - 6 years ago

Next installation: Microwave, Mini Bar, Lazy boy and a divorce.. that's just me.. awesome build fella!

Monkey Nut - 6 years ago

That room needs a splash of colour.. it's seriously dark

The king of DIY - 6 years ago

+Monkey Nut which is the point. The splash of color and focal points are the aquariums.

Okcuse Norton - 6 years ago

Joey really love everything about the gallery and glad your sharing this with us.

QUESTION: With the arowana you had said in a tank that size he would get bigger. However with the decorations will that effect his growth?

Nina N - 6 years ago

im loving the office <3

Tony Emantsal - 6 years ago

Looks good but it also looks like it takes a lot of space away on the back side, are the rays able to swim around it when they get bigger?

InkTurtle - 6 years ago

I wonder if Joey's going to use a sand bottom, would look really cool.

Christopher Wright - 6 years ago

I liked the scape from the live stream better but hey not my tank

JD Aquatics - 6 years ago

It's coming along nicely Joey! I think the wood arrangement looks great!

Proteus - 6 years ago

the scape is much better than what you had in the live stream!

Scarlette Banana - 6 years ago

Sunday/Thursday I ❤️

Stitching Jules - 6 years ago

Can't wait to see how you attach the plants to the wood!

GayDucks - 6 years ago

3:26, but you could fall in your fish tank while cleaning

Phú Trường - 6 years ago

That tank is gonna be perfect for shrimps

daisy jacinto - 6 years ago

hey joey how was your goldfish doing?

phat nguyen - 6 years ago

how did you get that big pieces of driftwoods??

OBXskaterboy - 6 years ago

Not a fan of how the bog wood on the far end of the tank away from the diy sign looks as if it's been cut with a saw it leads the the eye to feel that something's been taken away and or it should be put up against a flush surface like the tank wall. Killer tank I can't wait to see what is to come in the near future!!!!!!!

impokejon - 6 years ago

am I insane or does the peace in the middle kind of look like a moped

Gavin Wyn Roberts - 6 years ago

That office is sick

Neil Strough - 6 years ago

Looks great Joey. When the water is in making the wood slightly lighter weight, will the fish be able to upset the structure or are you going to anchor it together somehow?

Ma Jem Galat - 6 years ago

Just a thought, Are the stingrays not strong to push or dismantle the wood?

ALeeAs X - 6 years ago

but Joe, you taught us that rays change their stings and can harm or kill them. If you aquascape it, maybe you can miss some of them.

Custom Creams - 6 years ago

Other than fish keeping, is working out one of your hobbies? You look pretty buff.

Vanessa Olson - 6 years ago

Looks great Joey!!! can't wait to see the finished project!

Ryley Day - 6 years ago

it looks way better then when it started like I said in the live stream you where building with the corners of the tank which feels unnatural and isn't pleasing to the eyes.
but great job I think your getting way better at aquascaping haha

hugh myron - 6 years ago

Does Joey work out or get big from all his DIYing? He has some legitimately big arms

Night Owl - 6 years ago

Looks good to maintain, less is more and probably rocks are not needed in there? I would love to see Java fern, various anubias and Bolbitis Heudelotii on those bogwoods.

adam m - 6 years ago

move the wood back to the back wall. there is like 8 inches of space behind there at the bottom and that is going to be wasted space for the stingrays since they will probably never go back there. might as well give them 8 inches on the front side

GAME OVER - 6 years ago

i love aquarium fishes. {I have 12 tanks now lol}

Jake Senior - 6 years ago

LOVE the wood scape - looks perfect to me

PlasticBassHunter - 6 years ago

i think it would be really cool if you made a small shelf of wood somewhere in maybe the back left corner thats somehow attached to the wall so it almost looked like the wood was growing out of the wall. mind you i dont know the logistics of how you would do it but thats what your here for haha

Sharon K Emerson - 6 years ago

I am I love with this project!

Stitching Jules - 6 years ago

nice!! lots of progress!!! it's all coming together!!
