Your talents far exceed the DIY realm. You need to show of your artistic touches when it comes to aquascaping, habitats and lighting. The video keyed in on one of the most under utilized aspects of the aquarium trade... the lighting source. I am not sure I have seen anyone ever play with intensity, location and spectrum as I have seen with your designs. You nailed it!!! In watching this video I was amazed at how different an aquarium can look by changing the position, intensity, focal point and height of a light source. The multiple tanks towards the begining of the video each had a unique perspective unlike any I have seen before. It inspired me to jump up and start moving my lighting around which changed the dynamic of my tank instantly. Your DIY lesson for today was...be different then everybody else and change your perspective. With the combination of species driven tanks, themed aquascaping and enhanced lighting techniques your tanks are something to truly behold. I know "Amano" style tanks have their place in the industry but I prefer "Joey" style any day of the week. If you have the chance please put together a video with a compilation of your favorite tank designs showcasing your many talents. I for one would love to see a more in depth look at the tanks in the begining of this video. You have a truly amazing gift....keep on inspiring.
I missed so much in this video... watching back, i should have mentioned this and that... Doesn't matter. The lights are awesome. I love them. Thats more than enough. ;)
The king of DIY I need to get a new light soon for a setup I'm doing and this actually looks great. I don't see any EU distributors on the website so hopefully we can ship them to the UK somehow. Thanks for the suggestion.
To everyone in the comments complaining about lack of DIY, have you seen his countless vids on DIY, there's only so much you can DIY in the freshwater tank hobby and he's done hundreds. Just because he doesn't SHOW so much DIY lately (well guess who made all the tanks he's been showing us lately?) doesn't mean he isn't the 'King of DIY'. He's done it all and He's still a freshwater fish DIY expert. if ur looking for something specific, just look back at his older vids and most likely you'll find it :)
Dude 593k subs Well done! That's nearly 600k subs!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, I haven't seen any video or picture of you in the 2000gal dressed up like a mermaid!!! Get it done and over with!!! PLEASE do it Joey! Frank will tell us if you have!!! XD
Joey reading through some of these comments I have to agree with your Gallery you have moved into a level of the hobby I know is out of my league in terms of cost , space etc please don't take this as a complaint I do love watching and absorbing your knowledge but maybe you could start a new video series that includes projects and aquariums for the beginning hobbyists I have watched most every single one of your videos and it seems most of your newer videos are on Advanced areas or areas of the hobby more than 75% of us viewer's will never be able to achieve as far as financially and space we don't have I do Love again all your videos and I can't wait to see your new videos come out on your gallery and you do teach things we can all apply to our personal situation within the hobby but I'm sure there are a lot of us that would appreciate some new videos on smaller projects and more DIY based for beginners Thanks Always Joey
Ryan Caudill respect my dude, you are one of the few people that has actually given constructive critisicm and not just another little troll calling him a sellout
+Ryan Caudill I make 3 videos a week. I BUST my ass for 10years... I make 1 video a few people don’t like and this is supposed to change me? DIY did nothing for me. The last 12-18 months is what brought over 400,000 subscribers. I’m never going back to spending 20-40 hrs a week making 1 video no one watches. What you are asking for... I have already done 250+ times.
The king of DIY Thank You for ALL you've done, and keep up the EXCELLENT work! In life, we all try to do what produces the best returns for our efforts; you are no different.
The king of DIY Joey I sense you were upset by my comment and I wasn't trying to in any way to upset you and I know you are very busy and also a huge success I enjoy and watch every video you make I was just stating Most of the aquariums and supplies you review I could never afford nor do I have the space for I honestly was not saying anything you are doing is wrong or bad etc
I’ve been looking at these lights and wasn’t to sure if they would do the job on my 120 Reef . But seeing them on yours and the demonstration on the other tank I think I might go ahead and get me these lights. Thanks Joey
$200 for a light is more than I can afford. I would love to see you show us how to build one that is similar that I can afford to build. I love your videos I've learned a lot and appreciate them
It's AMAZING!! They can be controlled by an APP on your cell is so convenient. It may be priced above my budget, but it would be a device worth saving money towards investing in it (or them for additional units). Well Done! Thanks for sharing, Joey.
I took a quick look at both web sites. The lunar mode is facinating. What I didn't see was a seasonal mode. Maybe I missed it. If I didn't miss it, do you think you could use your influence to get them to add a seasonal mode. This mode should be adjustable for length of day and night cycles as they lengthen or shorten over a year and be adjustable for latitude (equatorial through polar; go all the way!). This type of lighting control would be fantastic for flowering plants that are seasonal and possibly help with coral spawning that though tied to lunar cycles is also seasonal. I'd also like to see an adjustment for the length of the year. This might allow for plant or animal seasonal activity to be accelerated assuming their kept in a basement or any area where they are not exposed to outdoor lighting. Simply using manual mode is way too much work if you would like to see the effects of subtle seasonal changes. Your the king of DIY. You can make it happen!
These lights are fantastic. the saltwater model has been out for a few years and ive been using for two. really an incredible light for the size and price.
Cool lights a little expensive for my taste... My simple tanks don't need all the bells and whistles. I've enjoyed your videos but they seem to have become product spotlights and vehicles for product placement and sponsor shout outs. Once you have all the tanks filled and setup will you be getting back to more in depth educational videos and DIY builds? For example... This video could have been about setting a light for the proper spectrum of lighting and brightness for different size tanks and plant types or how to use a programmable light such as this for proper balance on an aquarium. Not hating on you, I still love your videos and will continue to watch but thought I would ask.
A lot of us in it for the DIY aspect buddy. This video is amazing and appeals to the ones that like high end stuff. By the way the algea in the tropius tank looks fantastic. And I was wondering how you deal with algea building up on powerheads.
Great review Joey and these are very helpful for us looking to see what the most economical and efficient gear is available to us to use. Love also how the 325 looks in the back ground. Makes the video pop for sure.
I run them on my reef tank and I'm in love with them as well! They've been on for about 6 months now, no issues. I also have their flex arm mount. Makes it easy for moving out of the way for water changes. :)
With these lights so customizable, how come they need saltwater and freshwater versions? Is the saltwater one still more powerful or different somehow?
The light I’ve been waiting for! Question 1: Where, when & how can I get them? Question 2: Do I need two for a 75g? Question 3: How do I avoid my wife divorcing me if I buy these?
I love your videos and you introduced me to the hobby. I got my first tank 3 months ago (10 gallon)and I am finally getting my second tank (29 gallon) now. I love your videos so much.
What ever happened to your pond? I realize we are approaching winter so even if it were still a project I wouldn't expect you to be doing anything with it anytime soon though, but is that going to be a project in the summer again? Or is that project 100% scrapped?
That light is awesome. I'm not looking to replace my present light on my aquarium yet, but when I do, it will be with one of these. I love all the control you have with these lights.
You simply inspire me. Your excitement and passion most def. shows for the hobby. I know the u tube videos can be a lot of work, but thank you for taking the time to guide us through the hobby. Your work is very much appreciated.
Listen, i have a number of Ecotech products and love their products, but in no means are they cheap. AI lights are okay. but you can beat them with Chinese black box LED's you find on Amazon for 130$. they pump out 165w and i have one over a 40B with only SPS and they're thriving just as much as my 180 with G4 Pros. more customization with Ecotech lights however if you're looking for something that looks good and grows plants/corals. you can't really beat the Amazon LEDs.
lol yah no kidding. I can see investing on expensive lights for saltwater due to more colorful fish and keeping corals. On a freshwater....not happening
Jack Lantern I could see it if you want to make a dutch style aqaurium with lot's of exotic plants, but not if you are just a normal fish keeper with some java fern and anubias in your tank.
For all of you saying that he should do more DYI videos remember that he has built EVERYTHING all ready. It's okay if he gets some manufactured lights no need to beat a dead horse.
I just found your channel, and i love it! Finally someone who does not spend the first 2 minutters telling us to like or subsribe. I Hope you One day would tell us about eels Great work!!!
Im curious to see how these affect plant growth--will the plants all grow angled towards the center of the light? Say you have some tall background plants towards the corner of the tank, will they all grow at awkward angles?
Hey joey. Could you do a follow up to this video. I want to see what you think about what everyone else is saying in the comments. Maybe like a price comparison to other lights. Sorry that some of these comments are nasty and mean hearted. Also can you grow plants with these lights? Thank you and have a great day!!!
Also I disagree with some of the comments about "This is only a DIY channel". I would love to see new technology in the aquarium industry. Granted some good old DIY wouldn't hurt either!
I like those lights a lot! They sell them over here in the UK in both black and white. They're the same price that I paid for my Kessil Tuna Sun's, but the Prime's have the WiFi built in. I wish I had seen these before I bought the Kessil's. :(
I'm setting up a 29 gallon tank and I was wondering what kind of fish and how many fish I can put in it. I definitely want a couple of neon tetras. Any advice will help thanks!
I also have a 29g. I have 9 minnows (mix of danios and white clouds) and two male dwarf gouramis (which is ok since there are a lot of hiding spots in my hardscape). I'm thinking of adding a blue gourami as well for a centerpiece. A betta sorority would be cool too, if your filtration is compatible with them. They can get along with neons. Emperor tetras are a beautiful medium size schooling fish. Madagascar, threadfin and celebes rainbowfish are larger schoolers. And you can always go with some easy livebearers, guppies, mollies or platies.
Hey Joey love the video I agree the salt water side has better technology. I am also trying to figure out how to use marine technology for freshwater tanks.
Dang. My lights budget is like $30 or less right now. Any advice? I want to grow live plants too with them. I live in Canada, so no shipping access to most of US amazon in terms of lights... at least not cheap shipping.
I was debating on this or a strip light for my next tank... I'm using the A80 Tuna Sun for my other planted tank. Thanks to your video though, I might get one of these to compare to see how they stack up light output wise. Tech wise though this definitely has the A80 beat. I just control mine using a Wemo wifi adapter but at the end of the day the cost of the light / mount / wifi timer ends up almost being the same...
Reef tanks have no choice, you have to get lighting that cost twice that. 8ft tank $1600 min. Freshwater is great for DIY. I just dont see the need for $800 in lights.
I was thinking this too but then I remembered all the trouble I had with lighting on one of my tanks either not growing the plants or not bringing out colours of fish, this would make it a lot easier
Completely agree, I'm setting up a 150 tall reef tank and will probably light it with two ecotech xr30s gen4, and that alone is around $1200-$1400, for freshwater you could easily go with a finnex or orbit for a fraction of the price
What is the difference between the saltwater and freshwater versions? I have Radion Gen 4s (XR15 Pro) on my saltwater tank but if I change it to a freshwater tank there is no way I am buying more lights. I will use the ones I have!!!
A lot of the issues I've had with LED products in the past is individual lights burning out after only a couple of months. Is there any sort of manufacturers warranty/guarantee that will help out hobbyists if something like that should occur?
What light are you using? Most good LEDs won’t burn out and if they do the manufacturer will replace them, but if not they are usually an easy DIY fix :)
Hi Joey I was looking at some of your old videos your one video on how to build a tank stand and canopy I'm going to use that on my 240 gal. I was looking at some of your old videos on a underwater sand fall. I really like the way it looks espically behind a 3D background. My question to you is "would it be wise to you to have a sand fall in a salt water tank? but I need flow for the corals.
Great video, I just got the AI freshwater light. Have it on my waterbox 35.2 with cichlids. What PRESETS are you using for your cichlid tank? Could you share it? Keep it up. Thanx !

Good stuff bro I started because of you

The king of DIY i agree the lights are great

Love the Rainbow tank behind you! It makes a great background! Great move putting it behind your desk!!
Jeanne Seaman I totally agree ❤🐠🍀
Dude 593k subs Well done! That's nearly 600k subs!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT, I haven't seen any video or picture of you in the 2000gal dressed up like a mermaid!!! Get it done and over with!!! PLEASE do it Joey! Frank will tell us if you have!!! XD
Love the look of the 375 as the office background!
Love this set up with the tank behind you!
You are my favourite fich youtuber, and i love how the gallery is turning out 👌
New desk location is awesome
Liking the new desk location. Makes it like a kings throne when you sit in front of big tank.
Thanks for previous diy projects, but now its get more and more FANCY ... roll back a lil bit , JOEY
Awesome video. Looking great. I like how you put the rainbows in the background of the video. Makes the office look clean.

You want him to show you how to build a controllable/dimmable LED light with wifi capability and the software to control it? LOL
I'd like to be able to control the color spectrum and brightness but I don't need to control it from my cell phone.
Ooooooo. My neon greens would love a gradual lighting!! Looks good
I love the rainbow tank behind you in the video!
It's AMAZING!! They can be controlled by an APP on your cell is so convenient. It may be priced above my budget, but it would be a device worth saving money towards investing in it (or them for additional units). Well Done! Thanks for sharing, Joey.
The way you set up the camera and sat in front of the tank looks so good! love you joey
*I LOVE your Videos ! Continue DIY* i go to watch this video
Keep up the good work Joey! 👍👍
Wow the new room layout looks AMAZING!!!!

Your aquariums and your fish are beautiful
dude the new setup rocks. I like the tank in the background
As a fan of yours, I wouldn't mind you stretching your videos a little to get to 10 minutes for the better monitization haha
The king of DIY any DIY videos soon ?
Todor he has made quite a few videos... not really sure what’s left to make! Lol.
Cool lights a little expensive for my taste... My simple tanks don't need all the bells and whistles.

Oh yeah! Would also like to see some Rams in one of your tanks. Love Rams
I really like the 375 in the background like that!
Sam Spilde Me too!
You should use those lights for lighting in your vids lol. + the rainbow fish tank behind your desk is the perfect background!
A lot of us in it for the DIY aspect buddy. This video is amazing and appeals to the ones that like high end stuff. By the way the algea in the tropius tank looks fantastic. And I was wondering how you deal with algea building up on powerheads.
+A. B. Actually, over 80% of my subscribers didn’t subscribe to a DIY video.
Awesome light, exactly what I have been looking for at a reasonable price point!! Time to upgrade !!!! Thanks for sharing!
Yay I love how often there are uploads!♥️
been waiting all day for this!!
Have you every thought of having a small community tank: platys, guppies, African dwarf frogs etc I think it would be super cool
Great review Joey and these are very helpful for us looking to see what the most economical and efficient gear is available to us to use. Love also how the 325 looks in the back ground. Makes the video pop for sure.
Okcuse Norton i completely agree. The new setup looks great in the background
hey joey where's the nano tank you setup? with the bonsai tree on it
I think the placement of the tank is absolutely right , awesome.... Just behind you while filming :) :)
I run them on my reef tank and I'm in love with them as well! They've been on for about 6 months now, no issues. I also have their flex arm mount. Makes it easy for moving out of the way for water changes. :)
i have been using the saltwater version of these lights and the work really good
I was waiting to see how you were lighting your tanks! Thanks for this vid.
This video was lit 😂😂👌
No u
Another Thursday another Great video from the best youtuber ever.😅
Those lights look amazing. I know what I'm going to ask for at Christmas
With these lights so customizable, how come they need saltwater and freshwater versions? Is the saltwater one still more powerful or different somehow?
Different coloured LEDs
Chimefish saltwater lights are often very blue
Hi, I was wondering where you purchased/received the magnetic suction cups. I'm in BC, so hoping its a Canadian company. Thank you!
Can you review your experience so far with the Bashsea Aquatics sump
The light I’ve been waiting for!
Question 1: Where, when & how can I get them?
Question 2: Do I need two for a 75g?
Question 3: How do I avoid my wife divorcing me if I buy these?
Better to ask forgiveness than to ask permission
Love your enthusiasm, always.
Love the view of the video with the aquarium behind you! Great job!
I love your videos and you introduced me to the hobby. I got my first tank 3 months ago (10 gallon)and I am finally getting my second tank (29 gallon) now. I love your videos so much.
What ever happened to your pond? I realize we are approaching winter so even if it were still a project I wouldn't expect you to be doing anything with it anytime soon though, but is that going to be a project in the summer again? Or is that project 100% scrapped?
he has a pond? please direct me to that vid
That light is awesome. I'm not looking to replace my present light on my aquarium yet, but when I do, it will be with one of these. I love all the control you have with these lights.
I have been waiting for the lighting video!! Knew you hadn't forgotten and were getting around to it. :-)
Now this is how you explain the benefits of a product! Thanks so much for sharing!
Joey do you think you could do a how to on building a round acrylic aquarium or even a curved aquarium
You simply inspire me. Your excitement and passion most def. shows for the hobby. I know the u tube videos can be a lot of work, but thank you for taking the time to guide us through the hobby. Your work is very much appreciated.
Love your work buddy.
You need to make something again Joey; you are the King of DIY, after all.
+Daryl MacLeod like a whole building again? Or should I finish this one?
Agree.
Lol Joey bringing out the sass in some of these replys XD
the rainbow tank made an awesome background, looks amazing
Listen, i have a number of Ecotech products and love their products, but in no means are they cheap. AI lights are okay. but you can beat them with Chinese black box LED's you find on Amazon for 130$. they pump out 165w and i have one over a 40B with only SPS and they're thriving just as much as my 180 with G4 Pros. more customization with Ecotech lights however if you're looking for something that looks good and grows plants/corals. you can't really beat the Amazon LEDs.
The fish tank behind you looks great ! His move is a good idea :)
What about lights for the average fish keeper? Like $50-$60?
Chihiros led a series.
led flood light he has a videos on them
Have a Great Day From: Windsor Ontario Canada ;) love your info and videos
$200 for a light when I'm over here mad about $1.98 for a 6 pk of light bulbs from Walmart
Carmen and Tiffany same
lol yah no kidding. I can see investing on expensive lights for saltwater due to more colorful fish and keeping corals. On a freshwater....not happening
Carmen and Tiffany let me know how your plants are doing LOL
Hahahaha
Jack Lantern I could see it if you want to make a dutch style aqaurium with lot's of exotic plants, but not if you are just a normal fish keeper with some java fern and anubias in your tank.
Love your vids!
For all of you saying that he should do more DYI videos remember that he has built EVERYTHING all ready. It's okay if he gets some manufactured lights no need to beat a dead horse.
I just found your channel, and i love it! Finally someone who does not spend the first 2 minutters telling us to like or subsribe.
I Hope you One day would tell us about eels
Great work!!!
Any discount codes for the crew?
As the old song goes.. "you light up my life" don't be shy now sing along....... I need new lights.. As well as some sleep.. Nice video joey boy..
Wooooow all that aquarium in such less time , niceee
I've used this light(SW on fw) for a couple years and it's awesome!
Im curious to see how these affect plant growth--will the plants all grow angled towards the center of the light? Say you have some tall background plants towards the corner of the tank, will they all grow at awkward angles?
Hey joey. Could you do a follow up to this video. I want to see what you think about what everyone else is saying in the comments. Maybe like a price comparison to other lights.
Sorry that some of these comments are nasty and mean hearted.
Also can you grow plants with these lights? Thank you and have a great day!!!
Also I disagree with some of the comments about "This is only a DIY channel". I would love to see new technology in the aquarium industry. Granted some good old DIY wouldn't hurt either!
+AnimalAce I haven’t done a DIY video in over a year. I do a bit of everything now.
I like those lights a lot! They sell them over here in the UK in both black and white. They're the same price that I paid for my Kessil Tuna Sun's, but the Prime's have the WiFi built in. I wish I had seen these before I bought the Kessil's. :(
Got me sold going to get some now thank you good video
Joey's got a new toy :-)
I'm setting up a 29 gallon tank and I was wondering what kind of fish and how many fish I can put in it. I definitely want a couple of neon tetras. Any advice will help thanks!
I also have a 29g. I have 9 minnows (mix of danios and white clouds) and two male dwarf gouramis (which is ok since there are a lot of hiding spots in my hardscape). I'm thinking of adding a blue gourami as well for a centerpiece.
A betta sorority would be cool too, if your filtration is compatible with them. They can get along with neons.
Emperor tetras are a beautiful medium size schooling fish.
Madagascar, threadfin and celebes rainbowfish are larger schoolers.
And you can always go with some easy livebearers, guppies, mollies or platies.
I was waiting for this video, thanks may get this in the future
Hey Joey love the video I agree the salt water side has better technology. I am also trying to figure out how to use marine technology for freshwater tanks.
Brandon Johnson light is light..if you can adjust the spectrum to 5000-6500k it will work just fine.
Dang. My lights budget is like $30 or less right now. Any advice? I want to grow live plants too with them. I live in Canada, so no shipping access to most of US amazon in terms of lights... at least not cheap shipping.
+Fish For Thought I have plenty of DIY options you can check out.
Way too expensive with how many youd need to light a long tank.
Joey, you gave your sponsors enough already.
Wonder if these will be controllable by the Neptune Apex
I was debating on this or a strip light for my next tank... I'm using the A80 Tuna Sun for my other planted tank. Thanks to your video though, I might get one of these to compare to see how they stack up light output wise. Tech wise though this definitely has the A80 beat. I just control mine using a Wemo wifi adapter but at the end of the day the cost of the light / mount / wifi timer ends up almost being the same...
Oh man. I want them. Very cool!
Very nice lights are you having any algae issues with them
Reef tanks have no choice, you have to get lighting that cost twice that. 8ft tank $1600 min. Freshwater is great for DIY. I just dont see the need for $800 in lights.
When they give you for free (sponsor) you will love them as much as Joey does haha
I was thinking this too but then I remembered all the trouble I had with lighting on one of my tanks either not growing the plants or not bringing out colours of fish, this would make it a lot easier
Ecartts , very true
Matthew Cahill , A lot cooler than fluorescent also.
Completely agree, I'm setting up a 150 tall reef tank and will probably light it with two ecotech xr30s gen4, and that alone is around $1200-$1400, for freshwater you could easily go with a finnex or orbit for a fraction of the price
Very cool but i think the price is a bit high for what it is.
Lights look great! I wonder if they will ever be used with Ecotech EcoSmart Live, that would probably get me buying these!
That’s awesome I need some of those!
The scape on the 375 looks amazing.
I completely predicted this when you announced them
I love your videos!!!! your amazing
What is the difference between the saltwater and freshwater versions? I have Radion Gen 4s (XR15 Pro) on my saltwater tank but if I change it to a freshwater tank there is no way I am buying more lights. I will use the ones I have!!!
Peter Davies I'm pretty sure salt eater lights have a higher Kelvin rating bit I could be wrong!
That's what I thought but wasn't sure, not owning fresh water ones. Does that not mean I could adjust the saltwater lights accordingly?
different colour LEDs, look at the app screen you'll see the difference
I believe the saltwater ones have more blue and violet leds, the freshwater ones probably have more white red and green to get more daylight colors
My saltwater Radions have 8 led colours. UV, violet, royal blue, blue, cool white, warm white, green and hyper red.
A lot of the issues I've had with LED products in the past is individual lights burning out after only a couple of months. Is there any sort of manufacturers warranty/guarantee that will help out hobbyists if something like that should occur?
What light are you using? Most good LEDs won’t burn out and if they do the manufacturer will replace them, but if not they are usually an easy DIY fix :)
Hi Joey I was looking at some of your old videos your one video on how to build a tank stand and canopy I'm going to use that on my 240 gal. I was looking at some of your old videos on a underwater sand fall. I really like the way it looks espically behind a 3D background. My question to you is "would it be wise to you to have a sand fall in a salt water tank? but I need flow for the corals.
Great video, I just got the AI freshwater light. Have it on my waterbox 35.2 with cichlids.
What PRESETS are you using for your cichlid tank? Could you share it?
Keep it up. Thanx !
