One of the things I find so enjoyable is watching your videos(especially because I am a pretty old lady pushing right toward my 80th year now) and, the joy and happiness and excitement in your voice when you are trying new things and expanding your horizons.
it’s good to see a young person taking so much pride and joy and what they love and being able to do it so well not only that but share your downfalls as well as your moments of great pride.
Thank you Joey it’s always a joy to watch you❤
This is a beautiful comment :3
You’ve inspired so many in the hobby… have you ever wondered what the aquariums you’ve inspired look like?
YES!!! All the time!!!
@@thekingofdiy Inspired me to get my first stingray, well two stingrays! They were supposed to come today but have been delayed until Tuesday next week due to the courier not guarenteing overnight shipping, regardless I want to personally thank joey for the joy he brings us in the content and the information he shares, the true aquarium hobbiest goat. I hope you have an incredible 2023 brother!
@@thekingofdiy would be pretty awesome if you had a sure we could upload our inspired tanks. Maybe you could showcase some on TH-cam to encourage more submissions
@@thekingofdiy create a hashtag for people to tag you, And then make a video highlighting them
Inspired getting a salt tank
Hi Joey. Seeing you have given us so many ideas in the past. Maybe you would be interested in one back. You have made filters out of flower troffs. So why not use the same principle with the pothos. Use the small pump that's in the tank to feed a large troff with the pothos and was it clay balls in the aquaponic pots to hold them in, then just let it drain back into the tank. No need to remember to water them again. Plus you gain a massive pothos filter. Plus water running into the tank from it for circulation and aeration.
I don't know why I'm telling you this, you taught it to me 😂😂 thanks for the many years of inspiration and guidance in the hobby, it's served me well.
Looks fantastic. I can't wait to see how they all come out!
Put the pothos into a long trough that over flows into the tank. Fill trough with lava rock. You can use the Fx to feed the trough. Waterfall the back for flow.
I would be taking those pothos out of the pots, washing all the soil off, and putting the roots directly into the tank. The pothos really take off then! You can trail it everywhere. I have them in all my pleco tanks
That's what I've done with my pothos plants in my axolotl tank and they're thriving. They've noticeably reduced the nitrates which is great. The axolotls love hanging out in their "jungle" of roots too.
I have an idea for your pothos wall. Make a long trough. Fill it with clay pebbles and add aquarium water through it about an inch deep like a passive hydroponics. Adding a pump is optional if you want to cycle the water from the tank through it, but not necessary. Add I viewing window so you can see the water level. It's already in the perfect place for it, then you'll never forget to water the plants again lol.
I think that whole tank and stock should be in your basement! Tyrese whould be more often with your family and feels like he is one of your house pets.
But, I love it the tank, love the scape. I think the 200 tetras and Tyrese will look astonishing, marvelous and flabbergasting!!!
Thank you so much for this video, I love what you did with the wood more people need to see the potential in such projects and I defiantly do. You have many great ideas can't wait to see it all come to gether it's gonna be nice. Take care much love from Niles, OH
The tank looks great Bro! Your creativity is at an all time high lately! Keep it up bro! Happy New Year!
So glad you found your passion for the hobby again Joey! Not saying you lost it but now doing what you want and I can tell you it's absolutely phenomenal ✨️
This channel is amazing thank you for the awesome tips! Have used many of them for my 75 gallon discus tank
I love a wood heavy scape! I recently incorporated pothos into one of my Blackwater scapes and LOVE the way the roots creep over and throughout the wood! ( first time I actually used pothos lol )
The tank looks great. Once the plants grow in will look even better. Happy New Year Joey love watching you
Dude that tank is awesome!!! I love the look of it.
Awesome! Looking forward to updates on this! Thanks Joey!
Another great video Joey. Love all your tank especially your piranha tank. Looks amazing 👏👏👍
Great looking tank Joey!
Been watching you for years and you’ve inspired me and my gf in a lot of ways! Would love to see you do a coral tank no matter the size I feel like you’d do a great job!
Love watching and learning from your Channel
You could turn the branches up the other way and move them to the outer edges, still have pothos, but the branches would look like mangrove roots with pothos leaves 😉👊🥰
The Discus tank is looking gorgeous!
Joey , I still watch your old videos , I mean very old ones, see how shy and “ numb “ in your early videos , hahaha. Keep it up, man, always a fan, and learned a lot from you.
200 neons in that tank would look amazing, especially when the plants fill out. I really like that scape
As a crazy plant lady, I’m excited to see you get into growing!
I love crypts and anubias. So easy to grow and very low maintenance.
I’m a sucker for puffer fish! They have awesome personalities!
This puffer actually smiles... unbelievable!
You could put an automatic drip system in your plants. You would just have to make sure they have decent over flow containers underneath. Then they would get plenty of water, and you wouldn’t have to be climbing up there to water them all the time.
Overhead sump. Pothos goes crazy in them
The tank looks great I like all the branches and when the plants under them grow I think it will look fantastic
Watching this live was definitely entertaining 😂
I just love how u go about scaping looks awesome
This is by far my fav layout
Am very interested in the your plans for the planted marine aquarium with macro-algae hopefully. You don't see many planted marine tanks, they are usually used as sumps for reef tanks out of sight.
Love it ❤
Looking great bro!!
love ur videos ❤
I seen someone replied to another comment with a great idea! Create a hastag for us to tag you in our aquariums that you inspired us to do and then do a video on you reacting to them... That would inspire more people too! :)
Amazing video as always!!! And I love the idea of the 200 neons with the puffer, I think it would look absolutely fenomenal! (hope you don't mind me borrowing your phrase)
Would look cool with the contrast of the neon tetra along side glow light tetra both sides schooling with their own on blue ball and one red ball would look epic can’t wait to see the final result
I did this with my pothos and my 75 gallon about 3 years ago and it looks amazing now. Mine is a heavily planted tank with angels in it. But the pothos should do really amazing for you like this. Mine come from the top down though. Also the pothos leaves that are underwater stay green! I was very surprised that they stayed alive as long as their roots are in the pots above are in soil. When they grow down they grow into the water and stay alive.
Perfect video because I just got my first puffers!!!
I don’t know if you already had plans for this or if you were just going to keep the pothos in soil. I think it would be really cool if you turned the pothos shelf into an above tank plant sump. Love your videos keep being you!!
For someone going out of their comfort zone Joey you always do a great job
The new planter for pothos would be dope as a pass through with like expanded clay media that returns back down into the 180. Maybe off the discharge of the main filter so it’s mechanically filtered first so the media in the troff doesn’t get impacted with solids.
I didn't see this comment, but I basically gave the same idea myself lol. Great minds and all that lol
You should do a bichir tank with all different species of them
Big fan of neon tetra schools, but I have always wanted to see a dope school of Zebra Danios, basic fish but their schooling action is amazing. I am also never mad at Australian rainbow schools, Bosemani is always cool. I know you’ve done it but I felt like you could really do it right with this tank
Hey Joey what about harlequin rasboras for the tank instead of neons.
I really like this scape!
thank you for what you do keep doing I love what you do
I like the way you put your tank setup
Great looking tank
I will get 4 Amazon Puffers tomorrow! Wish more people had these, I think they are really interesting and they called a community puffer for a reason
Love this channel! And I use Home Depot sand...
Not bad looks amazing
Any puffer video is a good video.
This aquarium looks great and I'm sure it'll only get better as it matures... I hope you leave the Pothos in it! :)
love basically everything you do...but I couldn't hate the filtration tubing hanging outside the front of the tank more.
I love the planted tanks finally!!!!!
Hello Joey, I learn all my builds from you. I want to build a plywood aquarium 6-7 feet long by 20" deep by 36" tall all inside dimensions, two veiwing panels, but no corner outside frame, glass to glass in corner, what glass thickness you think I need?
bro i have seen that you use overflow filtration system for your oscar fish tank does this method clean the fish waste which is settled in the bottom of the tank
Where did you get your wood? Is it from your own trees? I find rooting the plant first is the only way it will root then I can grow it in tank. Looks good.
Make the pothos above the tank an overhead bog filter fill it with gravel or scoria andpump water through it
Should get a cross river puffer from Rod. They are beautiful
I know marine aqariums are not your main thing but you inspired me to start one and now i have 2 😂 keep on the good work !!
Just a opinion Joey what would look absolutely phenomenal lol before the twigs branches go in the water completely over them in moss from top to bottom it would have looked a lot better
I love the tank man it's nice I was going back-and-forth in your audio wondering what happened with your Mike you sounded clear through the whole thing but your voice does change from the very beginning of the video to like 3 minutes and you almost sound different
the scape idea is cool and so is the stocking, BUT im not sure i like the idea of putting baby in the back corner. hes going to be lonely there unless you are spending a lot of time back there.
the 1000 tetras would be cool in there on their own imho.
something you could try is making floating island pots for the pothos, you could even attach those sticks to the bottom like roots, and tie moss to them. theyd function sort of like lily pads in a pond, or floating debris out in the ocean and give little fish a hiding spot that isnt under rocks or out of view.
Hey Joey, why do you use Crypts on such a tall tank? I like the look of it, I use it in my tanks. But with the heigh you have, wouldn't valisneria work better?
Very cool
Hey if anyone ever wants to do a tank with black substrate try black diamond sandblasting media from tractor supply. It's an inert slag byproduct but looks beautiful in a tank. Plus it's $11 for 22lbs. I've used it in all my tanks for the last two years.
It would be cool to see archers in there!!!
8:15 Personally I'd go with Congo tetras (Phenacogrammus interruptus).
FISHtastic!
I'm rooting hard for the neon tetra tank. Large schools of neon tetras are awesome
Von Rio flame tetras! Haven't seen those in forever.
Actually might be cool with Danio glo fish too but that will definitely not look natural
Looks very nice. I never see a parva longer than inch and half or so. If it gets 6 inches might be something else 🤔
Imagine that whole room filtered by only plants 🪴
Like a mini jungle indoors!!
One of the best scapes you’ve done
The hole idea sounds good to me
Random question about decorating and aquarium. At my work iv got an abundance of old odd billiard balls. Iv tried google but can't find an answer. Are billiard balls aquarium safe?
Tank looks beautiful! I’d just hate to see it possibly broken by the puffer
I see you. I see the Yeezys, love the drip Joey.
Idk how you spell it but I do like the pothose? Tank looks great and I can just picture what it'll look like in the end!
Growing out a Fahaka right now he’s only about an inch now but eventually I want to do a planted tank with tetras
@The king of DIY
What is the species of your larger puffer? He is so cool looking!
Looks really awesome... going to look really cool ... But apart from the skinny wood ..I don't see how this out of comfort zone.
Joey will the crypts get enough lighting if the pothos is growing on the top of the water/tank?
Hello please I would love to know what happened to the 300 gallon plywood aquarium you did 7 years ago is it still up an running any leaks or bowing please let me know cause I want to build the exact build from your video and would be devastated if it doesn't work
Hey Joey, I think that I missed what type of wood that was. Do you mind telling me, I like the ascetic of it.
Manzanita
Looks more like roots from a tree.
So they would come foom top and down 🤔🤗
He is gonna have a fun situation when the pothos gets long and attached itself to his drywall and send it roots through his walls. It something I have experienced which forced me relocate my plants and changing the walls.
Like the scape but I heard large puffers can injure there eyes on branches, however I do trust your knowledge
Did you ever keep mollys or platys there so colourful would look amazing in this tank
We know you've got pro tips for days, so what's your trick for rinsing new sand (and gravel)? I tried out play sand for the first time tonight. Didn't do that great of a job rinsing it and still managed to make a mess. Lol. I've tried rinsing sand and gravel in pantyhose, but it doesn't work that well and takes a long time.
We want a update on the redtail every video... wanna see the size this thing gets... just 10 seconds of it!!!
What about another rainbow fish tank? Jmo thought when you had your last one in the 350 I believe. thought it was the best
I'm dubious about the pothos groving on the branches but I'm willing to be proven wrong on that, otherwise I love the scape and plans with neon tetras.
i feel basically the same.
Hi Joe. Great video! What's the PH of 375?
7.6-7.8
@@thekingofdiy Sweet!
A school of rummy nose and a large centerpiece fish who wouldn't eat them always looks fantastic in a large tank
