Cory, life's been full of surprises here, and I haven't been able to interact as much as I used to.... Doesn't mean I haven't been watching, learning and ordering. Please extend a thank you to Candi for her help on the last order, in fact. So wonderful to hear you re-emphasizing what John Kempf and Dr Thomas Dykstra have been saying: "Bugs won't *and can't* eat healthy plants!" Shrimp and snails are considered "bugs" in the aquarium horticulture hobby (along with scuds and a host of other micro-organisms that are a part of a healthy ecosystem that new aquarists keep trying to eradicate because they heard "bug" and equate with "bad"). They will not attack healthy plants unless they are literally starving, and have already eaten all the microflora (bacteria as well as algae). So it was wonderful to hear you push back on the 'prevailing wisdom' that [erroneously] says snails eat plants @03:15 As for the potential identification of the scuds @10:20, there's a lot of re-arranging happening with genetic testing now more widely available and therefore being applied across genera. Up until 2019, all freshwater amphipods were placed under the Gammaridea suborder. Genetic tests indicated a genetically different suborder of freshwater amphipods, tentatively labeled Senticaudata. If you want to know which you have, Charles Clapsaddles' DiL is another nerm and doing the genetic testing. I was looking to see if she has a paper out yet, I didn't find anything.... yet. For anyone wondering how much difference feeding makes in plant growth, my health and life's emergencies have decreased feedings to every few weeks around here (no animals are starving, each drop of water is thriving with microfauna and fish & shrimps continue to multiply) but my plants deteriorated even with the regular use of Easy Green products. It requires tripling my Easy Green to offset skipping feeding dried foods, to offset the loss/consumption of macro and micro nutrients. When we feed our tanks, we really are feeding entire ecosystems!!! One tip that might need to be added to the Easy Fry food: increase aeration! While the Easy Fry food is definitely my go-to now (feeds shrimp, fish, and microfauna beautifully!) it is higher in protein and fats (perfect for fry, and perfect for successful breeding in cooler water systems to meet energy requirements) and can generate a film on the water of Walstad inspired systems that don't have aeration that further reduces oxygen levels in the water. I've seen a couple of reviews complaining about the film, I wanted to clarify for anyone reading that the film is actually beneficial, and feeds our microfauna as long as we add aeration so nobody suffocates. Again, thank you!
While I do love my fluval3s and the way I have them programmed - I have them on 3 tanks. These lights are a slam dunk for anyone with a fish room or a need to cover a lot of tanks easily, especially with a wifi timer.
I'm excited for this new light! Can it be over open water or would I need to get a clear hood? I run a few of my tanks open top. Update: "highly water resistant" thanks Corey. You just answered my question lol.
Just watched that video before I found this one. Can't wait til I have a new tank to give myself the reason to buy it 😅😅😅🥰 Love it! You thought of everything I didn't know I needed (and didnt need, lol)!
I love this video format! I watch the old Daily Dose videos multiple times because I pick up a new little tidbit each time, and I'll definitely add this one to that list. It's really helpful to see you narrating tasks in real time because you drop little knowledge bombs in the natural course of conversation. It would be cool to see videos like this from other members of the Coop crew.
I love that you went back to this informal format, it feels so much more personable and realistic! I like the more structured videos too for specific knowledge, but I really appreciate the realism.
These are my favorite videos. Not just talking about how to do things or how YOU do things, but taking us along and showing us how. I get lazy with my tanks once in a while so seeing other people spruce theirs up really encourages me to do the same
Long time watcher, I really appreciate this format much more and don't mind the longer video at all. It's enjoyable to sit down with breakfast and watch what's going on in the fish room! I don't think anything was lost in your different style of filming, if anything it feels more like we are connected to you.
Videos like this and fish room tours are my favorite video formats. I love watching as you're doing things in your fish room working in the tanks, lots of little bits of knowledge to pick up, I'll watch these several times. I can't wait for the lights to come out, want to get a 48" one for a 75 gallon I'm going to be rescaping this winter.
Loved seeing you go Old School Cory and having fun. Your confidence has evolved so much over the years, and it's fun watching your goofy playful side show more and more. Native Cory in his natural habitat always fun. Looking forward to seeing more. Sometimes we have bad days and seeing a video like this with so much Life and goofy charm on a subject we love can be all we need to pierce the darkness enough to push back the funk remembering we can create our own light. ☺️☺️☺️
Hey Cory I have a suggestion. You mentioned not having enough room for maintenance in your fish room. You should make you a rolling maintenance cart to fit your needs and make the top an adjustable counter. Doesn’t have to be something huge just so you can put what you need to keep from having to run back and forth and give you a wider work area. I’ve been watching you for some time now and love your easy green products. Can’t wait to check out the light. 😊
This video is AMAZING! I recently posted on the forum about my dream of having a crypt forest. I’m gonna be selfish for a minute and say this video is for me 😂. Thanks, Cory!!! I’m gonna do it this way. In my experimentation, the crypts definitely melt less if I stick them in the tank in their pots instead of de-potting immediately. I’m so excited to see this tank evolve. Also, I LOVE those tiger shrimp. They’re so beautiful. I agree with you - I’m also about observing nature over the long term.
I have to say Cory, old school type video but it felt like you had your passion back. It was great to see. The tank will be amazing when all grown out.
This video came at the perfect time for me. I'm getting a bunch of crypts and swords soon and will try your potted planting method. H. formosa are my favorite species of fish! Mine swarm the front of the tank whenever I sit down to view them. That kind of behavior just melts my heart. ❤️
I love the whole concept of this idea, the way he explains what he's doing how he does everything in explanation by WATCHING what he's doing, just telling without showing does me no good, I like watching & seeing proof.
Also cool tank! I love those shrimp, they are beautiful and different looking, I look forward to the progress of the crypt garden over time, it's nice to see something "real" and not just produced for youtube, it helps us understand what we could probably expect to be able to do ourselves, realistically.
A few years ago I tried planting crypts in their pots on a whim to see what happened. To my delight no melt for the first time ever when planting crypts. Glad to see the practice being publicised.
Set up my first shrimp tank with plants/crushed coral from Aquarium Co-Op a few months ago so I'd love to see more shrimp content on the channel again!
so glad that you as a entrepreneur and avid hobbyist can recreate products more in line with what "we" want. universal sizes & parts that "grow" with the budding hobbyist. PS I see the first batch of lights already sold out - notifications are tuned on.
Such a good video Cory! Reminds me of some of your old school content which were pretty much simple and straight to the point with good information. Regarding the new light, congrats on that! I'm stuck with the Fluval Aquasky LED lights that I bought many years ago. So glad that you "get it." With my current lights it puts me in an awkward position when I'm traveling overseas and when the power is out/glitches it leaves my tank without lights until I return. All the bells and whistles with its "sunset/dawn" mode, lightning, color selection I learned was irrelevant and nobody (including the fish or plants) cares or needs to see them. What my system needs is a stronger PAR light for plants (or the ability to have it that strong). Although, I also learned that low light often means low maintenance. Any ways, when and if my lights stop working I'm definitely going to purchase your new LEDs.
I am very impressed with the Co-op light. Remote instead of app is brilliant! And finally a long cord. :) I plan to get a few for my tanks when the lights arrive. Cheers
*If you missed the last fish farm update, master breeder Dean and Cory set up an automatic water change system for the new aquariums against the other wall: **th-cam.com/video/ctH_UEwCmwk/w-d-xo.html*
You have to try malawa shrimp because they are underated,easy to breed and keep.The shocking thing about this shrimp ia that they are from Sulawesi but they only need to be kept like cherry shrimp.
The light looks awesome. I also like the kasa timers. I have a cheap light for my 5 gallon that does not save the brightness setting when the power is cut. Will this keep the brightness setting when the power is cut with the timer?
i love how educational these vids are, im starting my first planted tank and so far i think things are going smooth. thank you for the helpful information! i even have a few bladder snails that im keeping that came with my plants funny enough tho i was planning on waiting months before putting anything into it. lol
Awesome old school video, thanks Cory. I really hope you don't have mean people telling you your tanks look stupid; but I guess some people just live to be mean. I hope you feel better quickly. Take care.
Miss watching your videos. You actually share knowledge along with what you have going on. I want to try my hand at a planted tank one day. But I like predator fish.
Cory you are absolutely AMAZING! Haters are gonna hate. Keep on keeping on. Your mentally is a breath of fresh air. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for sticking in there for true fans and new hobbiests!
This comment hit at just the right time. I think I myself and really struggling with keeping this fresh. This was a good time for me, and I'm inspired by seeing the comments of how it's inspiring others to work on their aquariums. I know I suffer from that myself, taking the initiative to work on mine.
I love these types of videos! I'm so glad you did one. Reminds me of your early videos. Off the cuff, not preplanned (in a casual way), and so much information! Two thumbs up!!!
I started watching the channel when it was this kind of daily chores content. I definitely enjoy it more than kind of polished and produced video. Also glad you and Big Rich at OFR got to clear the air.
It looks good to me! Seeing it evolve will be great. It's a realistic tank. Maybe cover the plastic the plants grow in, but otherwise perfect. More videos like this one, please.
Good thinking about the light. Simple and waterproof! I like the light and also another product.Spero che in un futuro non troppo lontano potrò acquistare i prodotti Aquarium Co-Op anche in Europe. :)
Having a app is nice since you can put a timer on it without needing to buy a Wi-Fi timer which would need a app anyways. Also I don't know if these lights can grow high tech plants so I'm going to wait but if they can I will 100% be buying these for any future replacements. They are much cheaper than the Fluval 3.0 planted light I have on my 75g.
I was able to visit aquarium co-op in august on my trip to orcas island/seattle and was extremely lucky to get a free easy LED light with the purchase of $100 in plants! Love the light so far and my plants are doing great
I like to use a extenal diatom filter to clear water after working on a tank like this, it clears the water to crystal in twenty four hours. I removes the very fine particles. However some of the scuds you have in the tank may get sucked in. I got use to using it when working in a fish store we had our tanks link together by rows so when we did a gravel clean it would cloud the tank, so we would put the return at one end of the row of ten 10 gallon tanks and the out put at the other. We would start the cleaning at the end on day with the diatom filter running alright the next day when we opened up the tanks would be very clear. We would let it run until closing move filter to next row and repeat the process because we did it every day every two weeks at the end we would start with the first row again. Thus the tanks had a thorough clean every two weeks upon on diatom filter. It also helps to remove free floating algae when you clean the algae from the glass or brushing off the algae from the wood, rocks or ornaments. And very effect if you go on a vacation and you come home and the tank takes on green water color, which is free floating algae. Also if you get fine particles free floating in the water a diatom filter removes completely clears the water. Like the aquarium light simple functional and is a well thought out aquarium light for a reasonable light. With multi levels of brightness and a couple of modes. Thank goodness a long cord. Add the Kasa timer and it a complete setup. Like the fact it is adjustable lenght to fit a tank upgrade. I find the shawdows on the edges not only create mystery but a place fish can use to hide in id the shadows one a place to get out of the direct light but also for ambush of prey. I went to Aquarium Co-op web page to look for it, and found all sizes of the lights were sold out or was out of stock. May not yet in stock so will check back in a couple of weeks as you did say it may or not be available at the time of filming. Great design.
Hey Cory, what about creating yourself some sort of a bracket that can go around the containers? It can be the support system for a camera so that you can film from a little further away. Just a thought that came into mind while watching your video!
Can’t wait till more lights become available… I definitely want to purchase one an try the easy green…now I wait… it feels like Christmas waiting to get that email says there back!!! Lol excited 😊
I don't comment often but these recent videos have been killer! Somethings I've been wondering about lately have been "easy" community breeding videos (single tank, multiple species), and hydroponic growing (balancing fish, food, nutrients, lighting) but with like a monstera (sp?) plant or pothos... Just errant thoughts that have my ADHD brain going "ooh, what about this? Or this? Or this?" Because I am SO stoked I found this hobby. I'm new to it - only like a year in.
You read my mind. I thought it would be really cool for you to set up an easy tank that we could easily copy and maybe I'll finally have some success with plants😁
Enjoyed the video. I look for the longer videos like this. Thanks for keeping the average Joe in mind when shaping and releasing your products. Sometimes I'll watch a scaping video and the guy just spent about a thousand bucks. PS your light is on my Christmas list!
Yeah, it’s kinda a pet peeve of mine. Most videos use like $500 in plants to get instant good looking tank for a video. As a hobbyist it doesn’t make sense to do this.
Also love this format. On part showing your light. I hate I just bought another brand but it has built in timer function. Other then that seems similar. Maybe something you can add? Just a thought. It has 6 10 and 12 hr settings. Love everything you do! Ty! Ps I normally listen to you podcast.
i gotta say i didn't mind the pots in the tank at all. kinda just made me think of house plants because imagine planting those in your floor lol. great job.
I’ve always loved fish room updates! Thanks for a great video. I’m looking forward to the new light and hoping I can grab one for the 75 gallon in December or January.
Cory is the only one who I can enjoy watching planting - compared to all the other narcissistic aquascape TH-camrs whom I can’t stand watching! Keep up the good work Cory and all the others on @Aquarium Co-Op!❤❤❤🐠🐟 Much love from Sweden!🤗🤗
I wouldn't say they're the easiest, not the hardest, but a video like this is 8-10 hours. Gotta plan, pick up supplies. Do the build which can take hours. Then there is follow up with some filming later. But they can be fun, I guess I just want people to realize it's a solid work day to make a video like this.
@@AquariumCoop i only made that comment because you said in this video that this format was the easiest for you. I guess it's just that I'm coming from the perspective of the videos i miss are the "hanging out in the fish room with you, no matter the project big or small" and you are coming at it from "what can i teach". For me personally the video that is just you picking up a camera and taking us along with minimum editing, planning is the most interesting to watch.
Daily dose flashbacks....LOL! It takes forever but I cut the pot off of the rock wool (doesn't damage the roots), open the wool slightly and stick in a root tab, and then I put the plant in the substrate. Your way is definitely quicker but I don't want the pot in the way. Thanks for all of the tips along the way.

Cory, life's been full of surprises here, and I haven't been able to interact as much as I used to.... Doesn't mean I haven't been watching, learning and ordering.
Please extend a thank you to Candi for her help on the last order, in fact.
So wonderful to hear you re-emphasizing what John Kempf and Dr Thomas Dykstra have been saying:
"Bugs won't *and can't* eat healthy plants!"
Shrimp and snails are considered "bugs" in the aquarium horticulture hobby (along with scuds and a host of other micro-organisms that are a part of a healthy ecosystem that new aquarists keep trying to eradicate because they heard "bug" and equate with "bad"). They will not attack healthy plants unless they are literally starving, and have already eaten all the microflora (bacteria as well as algae). So it was wonderful to hear you push back on the 'prevailing wisdom' that [erroneously] says snails eat plants @03:15
As for the potential identification of the scuds @10:20, there's a lot of re-arranging happening with genetic testing now more widely available and therefore being applied across genera. Up until 2019, all freshwater amphipods were placed under the Gammaridea suborder. Genetic tests indicated a genetically different suborder of freshwater amphipods, tentatively labeled Senticaudata. If you want to know which you have, Charles Clapsaddles' DiL is another nerm and doing the genetic testing. I was looking to see if she has a paper out yet, I didn't find anything.... yet.
For anyone wondering how much difference feeding makes in plant growth, my health and life's emergencies have decreased feedings to every few weeks around here (no animals are starving, each drop of water is thriving with microfauna and fish & shrimps continue to multiply) but my plants deteriorated even with the regular use of Easy Green products.

I think my favorite type of videos on this channel are just the ones where cory and/or dean do stuff in the fish rooms
Half an hour is a perfect length for a video like this! I love seeing people work on their tanks and it helps motivate me to do some work on mine too.
Long time watcher, I really appreciate this format much more and don't mind the longer video at all. It's enjoyable to sit down with breakfast and watch what's going on in the fish room!

Omg I've missed this sort of video, please post more of this content. It's got a much more relaxed feel
I enjoyed this video Cory! Excited to see how your crypt garden does. I’ll be working on my crypt jungle too 😃
This is the type of video I prefer from Aquarium co op!!! Keep it up Cory
Loved seeing you go Old School Cory and having fun. Your confidence has evolved so much over the years, and it's fun watching your goofy playful side show more and more.
Native Cory in his natural habitat always fun. Looking forward to seeing more.
Sometimes we have bad days and seeing a video like this with so much Life and goofy charm on a subject we love can be all we need to pierce the darkness enough to push back the funk remembering we can create our own light. ☺️☺️☺️
Loved this video, back to old school Cory having fun in the fishroom. 👌
Hey Cory I have a suggestion. You mentioned not having enough room for maintenance in your fish room. You should make you a rolling maintenance cart to fit your needs and make the top an adjustable counter. Doesn’t have to be something huge just so you can put what you need to keep from having to run back and forth and give you a wider work area. I’ve been watching you for some time now and love your easy green products. Can’t wait to check out the light. 😊
Shannon Baker you are a genius! I have a cart filled with books that's totally going to be converted to an aquarium supplies organizer.
I remember seeing MD buying his cart from IKEA 💡💡💡💡💡💡
This is just my kind of content. See the building up of a fish room and coming along on a journey.
Love to see Cory back in the fish room having fun! Can't ever have enough crypt's in a tank!!
This video is AMAZING! I recently posted on the forum about my dream of having a crypt forest. I’m gonna be selfish for a minute and say this video is for me 😂. Thanks, Cory!!!

Cant wait to be able to buy some coop stuff in AUS in the future
When I found your channel (many moons ago) this was the primary video format. I really like it - like you it is down to earth. Cheers!
Love the new build! Looking forward to seeing the progress. You're the man Cory.
You can tell Corey has a great love still for this hobby even after many years!
I love this video and the style that it’s shot. It feels familiar and more relatable.
so glad that you as a entrepreneur and avid hobbyist can recreate products more in line with what "we" want. universal sizes & parts that "grow" with the budding hobbyist. PS I see the first batch of lights already sold out - notifications are tuned on.
Not sold out, just haven't arrived yet. Unfortunately covid is keeping them from moving in China currently.
I really enjoy your longer videos! You are so full of information and great ideas! Thanks
Hi Cory, it is always fun, informative & entertaining watching your videos. Your idea of putting the crypt's pot directly is Brilliant.
Your tank looks great! I enjoy watching the shrimp too!
Love these as built vids, thanks!
Such a good video Cory! Reminds me of some of your old school content which were pretty much simple and straight to the point with good information. Regarding the new light, congrats on that!

I am very impressed with the Co-op light. Remote instead of app is brilliant! And finally a long cord. :) I plan to get a few for my tanks when the lights arrive. Cheers
I love this video format!!! More of these please :) bring us back to watch the crypt tank growth
Love this type of video! I just started keeping shrimp after 53 years of fish keeping. Thanks for all you do for the hobby, I appreciate you.
You're in for a treat with those shrimp ;)

👍😎 Big difference in those 2 Val tanks, just feeding difference, wow. Like the video, good at your job Cory
Old School Video. My favorite! Rock on Cory! 🤟💪💪
I'm happy to learn its okay to keep plants in the pots.. I thought you HAD to de-pot them. Good info as usual.
i love how educational these vids are, im starting my first planted tank and so far i think things are going smooth. thank you for the helpful information! i even have a few bladder snails that im keeping that came with my plants funny enough tho i was planning on waiting months before putting anything into it. lol
Awesome old school video, thanks Cory. I really hope you don't have mean people telling you your tanks look stupid; but I guess some people just live to be mean. I hope you feel better quickly. Take care.
Miss watching your videos. You actually share knowledge along with what you have going on. I want to try my hand at a planted tank one day. But I like predator fish.
Cory, I enjoyed the video...because you seemed to be enjoying yourself in the process. I love this format! Thanks for the good info.
This is my favorite kind of videos, just updates, because I dream of some day having something like this.
That was awesome. I love a longer video.
Cory you are absolutely AMAZING! Haters are gonna hate. Keep on keeping on. Your mentally is a breath of fresh air. Have a wonderful day and thank you so much for sticking in there for true fans and new hobbiests!

This was a good time for me, and I'm inspired by seeing the comments of how it's inspiring others to work on their aquariums. I know I suffer from that myself, taking the initiative to work on mine.
I say 'Yay' for more shrimp content. Started three shrimp tanks in the spring and I'm smitten.
I love these types of videos! I'm so glad you did one. Reminds me of your early videos. Off the cuff, not preplanned (in a casual way), and so much information! Two thumbs up!!!
I started watching the channel when it was this kind of daily chores content. I definitely enjoy it more than kind of polished and produced video.
Also glad you and Big Rich at OFR got to clear the air.
It looks good to me! Seeing it evolve will be great. It's a realistic tank. Maybe cover the plastic the plants grow in, but otherwise perfect. More videos like this one, please.
Good thinking about the light. Simple and waterproof! I like the light and also another product.Spero che in un futuro non troppo lontano potrò acquistare i prodotti Aquarium Co-Op anche in Europe. :)

Do know that, the light you got is technically the light I designed before this one. I still like that light, but prefer this one.
I LOVE this one so much! Great format and feels very intimate. Thanks for all you and your team do for this hobby.....shoot, lifestyle really. 🤗🌿🐡🌿
I like to use a extenal diatom filter to clear water after working on a tank like this, it clears the water to crystal in twenty four hours. I removes the very fine particles. However some of the scuds you have in the tank may get sucked in. I got use to using it when working in a fish store we had our tanks link together by rows so when we did a gravel clean it would cloud the tank, so we would put the return at one end of the row of ten 10 gallon tanks and the out put at the other. We would start the cleaning at the end on day with the diatom filter running alright the next day when we opened up the tanks would be very clear. We would let it run until closing move filter to next row and repeat the process because we did it every day every two weeks at the end we would start with the first row again. Thus the tanks had a thorough clean every two weeks upon on diatom filter. It also helps to remove free floating algae when you clean the algae from the glass or brushing off the algae from the wood, rocks or ornaments.
And very effect if you go on a vacation and you come home and the tank takes on green water color, which is free floating algae. Also if you get fine particles free floating in the water a diatom filter removes completely clears the water.
Like the aquarium light simple functional and is a well thought out aquarium light for a reasonable light.
With multi levels of brightness and a couple of modes. Thank goodness a long cord. Add the Kasa timer and it a complete setup. Like the fact it is adjustable lenght to fit a tank upgrade. I find the shawdows on the edges not only create mystery but a place fish can use to hide in id the shadows one a place to get out of the direct light but also for ambush of prey. I went to Aquarium Co-op web page to look for it, and found all sizes of the lights were sold out or was out of stock. May not yet in stock so will check back in a couple of weeks as you did say it may or not be available at the time of filming. Great design.
Absolutely love this video it reminds me so much of old school Co-Op videos!!
Loved it! ❤ Great video! If nothing else, you convinced me to use deeper substrate in my next setup. Really like the spread on the new light.
I love the long form videos. Love what you do.
Definitely my favorite types of videos. Reminds me of the older videos!
Im thrilled you guys have lighting! Will be purchasing for each of my 3 tanks👍
Love the light! Well done Cory!!
Hey Cory, what about creating yourself some sort of a bracket that can go around the containers? It can be the support system for a camera so that you can film from a little further away. Just a thought that came into mind while watching your video!
Love these “old style” videos. I love my app lights but I’m old school enough I’d enjoy a non app light as well. I do need a new light for my 29g. ❤
Can’t wait till more lights become available… I definitely want to purchase one an try the easy green…now I wait… it feels like Christmas waiting to get that email says there back!!! Lol excited 😊
I loved this video, oldschoolstyle. Go Cory!
I don't comment often but these recent videos have been killer!
Somethings I've been wondering about lately have been "easy" community breeding videos (single tank, multiple species), and hydroponic growing (balancing fish, food, nutrients, lighting) but with like a monstera (sp?) plant or pothos...
Just errant thoughts that have my ADHD brain going "ooh, what about this? Or this? Or this?" Because I am SO stoked I found this hobby. I'm new to it - only like a year in.
Thanks making this video, love this format!! Those tiger shrimp are beautiful!💕
Love this. Cory is the coolest dude in the hobby.
These are my favorite kind of videos. Thanks Corey. Can't wait to use the light
Absolutely love this old coop style content I love the new stuff too nice to see you back in your fish room just kicking back doing your thing 👍
love this kind of videos ... wish there would be more of it, but i get that it depends on your time and if ppl like it or not :) greeting from germany
You read my mind. I thought it would be really cool for you to set up an easy tank that we could easily copy and maybe I'll finally have some success with plants😁
i think the coins are super cool! i'm fine with waiting a few orders or whatever. they're sweet i can't wait to get mine
These vlog style videos are my favorite
Love the video Cory! Can't wait for the Aquarium Co-Op light to launch: I really want one for my 45 gallon tank!
Awesome video, wish i could "like" it a bunch of times. Been waiting to see a tank setup and will look forward to the updates!!
Thanks Cory I love the old school videos the tanks are looking good have a grate week
I read that that yellow packing stuff that's around the roots can mess with the gills on the fish or something?
Enjoyed the video. I look for the longer videos like this. Thanks for keeping the average Joe in mind when shaping and releasing your products. Sometimes I'll watch a scaping video and the guy just spent about a thousand bucks. PS your light is on my Christmas list!
Yeah, it’s kinda a pet peeve of mine. Most videos use like $500 in plants to get instant good looking tank for a video. As a hobbyist it doesn’t make sense to do this.
Those Aquarium Co-Op algae scrubbers were really something! Definitely try them out. I didn’t expect to enjoy them as much as I did.
also love the extra videos apart from Sunday uploads! and love this format! ty AquariumCoOp!
Also love this format. On part showing your light. I hate I just bought another brand but it has built in timer function. Other then that seems similar. Maybe something you can add? Just a thought. It has 6 10 and 12 hr settings.
Love everything you do! Ty!
Ps I normally listen to you podcast.
I really, really, really enjoyed this video. Thank you, Cory.
Great job in keeping it simple for “normal” fish keepers. Some stuff looks awesome but doesn’t always help the people 😁
i gotta say i didn't mind the pots in the tank at all. kinda just made me think of house plants because imagine planting those in your floor lol. great job.
Once they grow in, you don’t even see em
Great video, these are the most relatable content for me!
Thanks for making sure it worked with the kasa timer!
I’ve always loved fish room updates! Thanks for a great video. I’m looking forward to the new light and hoping I can grab one for the 75 gallon in December or January.
Cory is the only one who I can enjoy watching planting - compared to all the other narcissistic aquascape TH-camrs whom I can’t stand watching!
Keep up the good work Cory and all the others on @Aquarium Co-Op!❤❤❤🐠🐟 Much love from Sweden!🤗🤗
Absolutely love this video format
Can watch and listen to u all day cory
Thanks, you've been around a long time ;) Thanks for the continued support.
those lights looks legit, if/when I need to replace mine i'll for sure look into getting one of those
Long form fish room updates are the easiest for you to do AND it's the preferred format for us fish nerds 🤓 just like the good ole day's.
I wouldn't say they're the easiest, not the hardest, but a video like this is 8-10 hours. Gotta plan, pick up supplies. Do the build which can take hours. Then there is follow up with some filming later. But they can be fun, I guess I just want people to realize it's a solid work day to make a video like this.
@@AquariumCoop i only made that comment because you said in this video that this format was the easiest for you. I guess it's just that I'm coming from the perspective of the videos i miss are the "hanging out in the fish room with you, no matter the project big or small" and you are coming at it from "what can i teach". For me personally the video that is just you picking up a camera and taking us along with minimum editing, planning is the most interesting to watch.
Nice gold HFormosa!!! Would love to find some. Cool video! Thanks :)
Daily dose flashbacks....LOL! It takes forever but I cut the pot off of the rock wool (doesn't damage the roots), open the wool slightly and stick in a root tab, and then I put the plant in the substrate. Your way is definitely quicker but I don't want the pot in the way. Thanks for all of the tips along the way.
Yup, I’ll show my way some more in a future tank. It makes more “sense” with carpeting plants.
Loving this video Cory!!! Definitely one of my favorites so far!! Hehe, MADNESS!! Love it!! Thank you! 💚💙
Awesome content! I cannot wait for The Aquarium Co Op Light, so exciting!
