Naerwyn - 7 years ago

I'm curious, did it not matter that there was no cycled media in the totes?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

We were changing water to remove waste, so media wasn't needed, but if we had had it, it would have added a little bit of safety.

V. Stag - 7 years ago

Awesome info Great Job sharing your methods with us Thanks

hi, i love the videos of 2 channels, but a time ago the videos are so dark (dark colors, etcs), i dont know why. Thanks, regards!

graphicsforever2 - 7 years ago

8 days to get home, I was wondering if starting QT meds in the hotel room would be a good idea so they don’t get ICH or Fluke infested while traveling? Your QT has taught me a lot and because of you I have not lost any fish since following your advice :) Thank you Cory

So I guess sloshing isn't a real concern then? I'd always assumed that was a fairly significant stressor

Austen Whitcher - 7 years ago

awesome video, any tips for larger fish such as an oscar? I take it just a larger tote?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Austen Whitcher mostly travel with low water so it has to be on its side so it doesn’t thrash around as much

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Amanda Salgado hello, we will be back ;)

Copper Canyon Aquatics - 7 years ago

Is there another video to see you actually acclimate them and introduce them into their tanks?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+08TRDOFFROAD no, I scooped a few cups of water and the. 5 minutes later netted them into the aquariums

I think whoever makes those pleco banks will soon be rich!
Great tips.

Hey I was at the fish experience to I was the one with the betais name is Mr. squarely

+BRADYN HARDESTY nice!

I swear Cory is always wearing a plaid shirt

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+JP Aquatics its pretty much my uniform and I’m always working so I’d say that is accurate

How many corydoras do you have???

MrAndypolish - 7 years ago

Cory great content. You have converted me over to sponge filters running off of air pumps. Could you do a video on sizing/flow levels etc for the air pumps on single and multiple tank size please

Hey Cory. I picked up some Bumblebee Oto's today from my LFS wetspot. Ever had experience with them? I read they're impossible to keep. I like challenges, though!

Unlucky - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op I'll have to drive back out to Portland to get some. I tried reading up to find out what they eat since they're unlike other oto's and neither of those were mentioned so that's some amazing info. Thank you Cory! I love these tutorial videos by the way.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Unlucky do you have access to live black worms or daphnia? That makes t super easy

Aquarium Konnection - 7 years ago

nice to know

Somewhere in a top secret Seattle area garage is an RV being transformed into an Aquarium CO-OP fishmobile with integrated air, water heating, anti- slosh baffled holding tanks all run by a super quiet Honda inverter generator..... no more Hotel bathroom water changes!

#AquariumCoop LMAO Love your guys vids. Good laughs, good info, & good times. what could be better. Also Love the Comment section in this vid too! Thumbs Up!!!

I just wanna see your new rack already. Lol its right on the other wall so close so bummed

Dee From Brooklyn - 7 years ago

One thing i learned traveling to shows is to bring reynolds plastic wrap for wrapping buckets or cooler tops. That stops them from spilling in your car

Brian Kimbark - 7 years ago

Hey Cory,

Can you do a species profile on the Denison Barb please?

Alejandro marquez - 7 years ago

Hey bro one question, so I bough this tank that was previously use for salt water it had a canister filter, however I ma use it for a fresh water tank my question is do I have to clean everything out of the canister filter or can I use the media that it had seince is was cycled?

Alejandro marquez - 7 years ago

Unlucky the tank is 125 gallons, won't that be too lil fishes? I was planing to get some kinda medium size Oscar from a buddy and well do lots of water changes so armonía won't kill em until the cycle is complete wat do you think?

Unlucky - 7 years ago

Alejandro marquez and start with just one or two small fish until the cycle has fully completed

Unlucky - 7 years ago

Alejandro marquez there really is no safe way to do it but if you want to help jumpstart the bacteria production the only product you should use is Tetra safe start

Alejandro marquez - 7 years ago

Quick start *

Alejandro marquez - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op thanks a lot man any advice for cycling a tank fast? I was planing to put that fast star liquid and put a couple of goldfish to get it started

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Alejandro marquez you’ll want to clean it since the saltwater bacteria will die in freshwater

Matthew B - 7 years ago

Could anyone help me out. Looking to buy a tank with the dimensions of 24"L x 24"W x 18"H (inch's). Is this a strange dimension or something can't even find a single one online. But i think these dimensions would be perfect.

Matthew B - 7 years ago

okay thanks :) i'll get the 24 inch cube then.

Side note thanks for all the informative info over the past year and a month. You and King of DIY. Have gotten me back into fish keeping.
You both sell the hobby perfectly, keep up the good work.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Matthew B I think you can get a 24 inch cube fairly easy from marineland

Jarod Boening - 7 years ago

I live in Michigan and Chicago is about a six hour drive from where I live. I would have came but I have pretty bad car sickness, and I don’t have enough tanks for all the fish I would impulse buy.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Jarod Boening mo worries!

Michael Agostino - 7 years ago

Awesome video. I'm not sure I have seen anyone make a video like this about housing fish for days as they travel home.

Thanks for making this video, I learned a lot.

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Michael Agostino glad it was worth us documenting :)

John Regnell - 7 years ago

Hey Corey, When if your next live feed and how do we join it? Also whats the easiest way and the most inexpensive way to get glass to replace a broken side of an aquarium?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+John Regnell Tuesday at 10am pst is the next stream. Just be on a computer or laptop and there should be chat next to the video.

Richard James - 7 years ago

You should send the pleco piggy bank to Lamont for a paint job. I bet he can make it look realistic

Fernando Arroyo - 7 years ago

Hey Cory I've designed a desktop aquaponics system for beta fish wondering if I sent you my kit if you could review it??

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Fernando Arroyo you can send one to the store but I can’t promise we will review it.

Bram Jakobs - 7 years ago

larry miller - 7 years ago

I just got your ferts I use chem pure green but won’t it remove ferts what do you use in your filters

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+larry miller I don’t run any chemical filtration in my Aquarium’s. Plants essentially do that for me. I’m not sure specifically how chemical pure will interact with the easy green but it may remove it

Travis Wise - 7 years ago

1 PPM NH3 = 2.7 PPM NO2 = 3.64 PPM NO3, Just spreading the word.

1ppm ammonia equals 3.64ppm nitrate when converted

shayna cope - 7 years ago

Are you going to custom paint your new bank and if so can we get a update on it in the future

Cyprian - 7 years ago

I had to keep fish in containers last week when the peppered corys I ordered where swapped out for Synodontis multis. I did the same with air pumps, and did water changes twice a day until I could find a pet store to take them. I had no room for a tank that could support them.
I'm not really sure how whoever shipped the fish got little round gray and black fish confused with long, big, black and white with tall fins fish.
And the corys were $2 and the synos were $30 each.

Rudy Briskar - 7 years ago

Corey, what kind of test strips do you use? Obviously you are quite successful in fishkeeping so I would imagine that you have a certain brand of test strips that you rely on.

Rudy Briskar - 7 years ago

Aquarium Co-Op
Awesome, thank you :)

Ricci Lam - 7 years ago

Hey Cory, is there a reason you don't just being something like a sponge filter with you in a sealed bag/Bucket ?

Aquarium Co-Op - 7 years ago

+Ricci Lam uh mostly cause it wasn’t needed. I could have but you need water levels higher to really do much.

Yirabeth - 7 years ago

Years ago, when my (now ex) husband got out of the military, I traveled from Texas to Michigan with a 10" shubunkin in a 20 gallon aquarium...we put it in the front seat floorboard of the U-Haul, and left the canister filter in place while we traveled. At night we got a back room in a motel and ran an extension cord to our room :D (We also traveled with 2 dogs, a cat, and 2 infant to toddler children...in two vehicles...wasn't the most relaxing trip of my life...)

Good thing they don't charge you power at any hotel I have stayed at. Imagine the room service person walking into a normally cool 72 that is now 92 and humid with the hair dryer on the counter going all out with a note "The room heater just wasn't enough!"
