Today we finish planting the 2,000 gallon monster aquarium fish tank! PART 1: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZmFo... Im also on instagram: Instagram ► instagram.com/uarujoey/
Aquadecor should make a planter matching their backgrounds...make it look like a log, or a stone. Kind of like you see lava rock drilled to make a cavity and plants inset in them. (and maybe they do already, but if they don't they should.) Would look way better than the pots. For now you could take some smaller log bits/stones and pile them up so it looks more natural.
I agree. Or he could silicone rocks to it, right? It might be easier to take it out if he needs to do tank maintenance for whatever reason if its one piece rather than a pile of rocks.
Pots kill the natural look, IMO... hopefully you figure out a way to get them hidden. You should get AD to make you some pot covers. That being said, it's not my tank and if it doesn't bother you, that's all that matters! Fish are looking good.
It would be really cool if aqua-decor could Have designed pots that looks like wood so you for the plants or even had built in pockets in the background for them
Some plants really helped :) Looks so nice when you turned up the lighting. You dont have any rocks in there tho. Maybe use some rocks to cover up the visible pots?
Looks great! I would stack several small rocks around the pots to hide them and make it look like the plants are growing out of little rock mounds between the roots.
From what I remember, vals have an initial melting period where some of the leaves will die off and the plant will look nasty, but it will bounce back right after, kind of like what crypts do, so don't get discouraged if they are melting, they should thrive in that tank.
What about replacing the big pot with something that looks like a more ancient pot? I've seen several for sale, you can line the big holes with mesh, fill it with a substrate, then plant all of the holes. Put the pot in at a tilt so it looks like it naturally sunk.
I'm going to buy some of those floating plants, I really like them... Also that Beast tank is amazing!! And if seeing that big pot still bothers you, maybe you can cover the pot with a sand colored stocking.
What if you siliconed some rocks to the pots to make it look more natural? I dont think the color of the pots really look nice in the the tank. It kind of stands out a bit too much.
Could you add some lotus flowers? I think this would really add to the eastern vibe and would be so cool whilst representing where the arrowanas come from. Maybe some water lilies too. Like if you agree!
This will look great once the plants will grow! I wonder though... You surely still have that ton of rocks from your goldfish tank? Why not hide the pots with some of them? I think it would add to the look of the tank as well!
I definitely like that plants at the surface! Not a big fan of the pots, it takes away from the natural look the rest of the aquascape carries. I'm sure he will figure out a way to change that...which is good MORE VIDEOS! But the added green does add to the overall look to the aquarium. Thanks for the videos! When are you coming to SoCal???
I'd check to see if there are toxic metals, like lead, in those pots. Heavy metals are not toxic to plants, so the production process doesn't eliminate the metals, and keeps retail prices very low.
you should put that piece of drift wood over the big pot so that you cannot see the pot and only the plants and maybe do the same with small pieces of driftwood to all the other pots.
At the end, your tank looks better than ever before! Joey, if you really hate that pot so much, you could put some silicon on it and attach sand or rocks to it. It looks awesome!!
Actually I was wrong the floating plants looks ok and probably benefits the fish behavior if they grow out of proportion just take out some and that’s it
Hey Joey, I'd recommend placing a few river stones in front of those exposed pots. That should hide them well enough and bring a more natural look to the tank. Excellent work, love the floating plants.
Isn't water hyacinth bad.........cuz eventually it blocks the light....and deplete oxygen..........I'm from kerala...nd they are a huge problem in d backwaters.
Val propagates with runners that will spread out and root in whatever substrate there is. It wont be long before the plants spread and hide the pots themselves. Im sure the rays will keep it in check though lol
I certainly hope you are able to read this. Love your videos. Please have a look at a video I am posting on Monday, as I will tag you in a really awesome challenge!. I will be really cool if you can participate in this cool tag / challenge. A South African fan

The king of DIY, why do you and Rachel O Leary both upload at exactly the same time, just wondering?
Joey is there going to be an expansion to the building behind the door? Or a bigger saltwater tank?😂😂
The king of DIY dude you could've been stung by the rays , pls take care bro .
Joes talk to your custom background supplier about making some plastic pots to match or pot covers out of back ground material!!!!
The king of DIY also hi-ya-synth.... love ya my fellow Canadian
looking good buddy
Aquadecor should make a planter matching their backgrounds...make it look like a log, or a stone. Kind of like you see lava rock drilled to make a cavity and plants inset in them. (and maybe they do already, but if they don't they should.) Would look way better than the pots. For now you could take some smaller log bits/stones and pile them up so it looks more natural.
I was thinking the same, some rock or wood looking pots would fit the look a lot better
Awesome work!!!
Join Joey for part 3 at one fish, 2 fish, when he buys a manatee for hyacinth control.
Put some rocks infront of the pot, make it look like the plants grow out of a rockpile ;)
Fredrik Olofsson that would look nice!
I agree. Or he could silicone rocks to it, right? It might be easier to take it out if he needs to do tank maintenance for whatever reason if its one piece rather than a pile of rocks.
Pile some river rock around the pots to cover them
Bradley Ford exactly what I would do.
That's a pretty cool idea
Fishy Wishes cool I was just about to comment on this and found you had!what a coincidence-I would do that to!
It looks great like it is, just thought that it would look a little more natural with the rocks around the pots
Pots kill the natural look, IMO... hopefully you figure out a way to get them hidden. You should get AD to make you some pot covers. That being said, it's not my tank and if it doesn't bother you, that's all that matters! Fish are looking good.
Hey Joey, what is the status on the dropeye of one of the arowana?
It would be really cool if aqua-decor could Have designed pots that looks like wood so you for the plants or even had built in pockets in the background for them
thats brilliant!
Some plants really helped :) Looks so nice when you turned up the lighting.
You dont have any rocks in there tho. Maybe use some rocks to cover up the visible pots?
Maybe contact aqua decor about some camoflauge pots
It would be awesome if Aqua Decor made pots for aquarium plants.
Put that piece of driftwood back in front of that pot you don't like
You could secure Java moss to the pot :)
Or super glue some wood / rocks!
Fins & Scales i had the same idea 😅😅😁😁
u have to clean it,.. its kind of a lot of work for such a tank.
Fins & Scales Id rather see java moss climbing up the vertical roots to give the walls a splash of colour
Maybe use the log/stump you removed to cover the large pot?
I was just thinking that, and then I saw your reply lol.
OH WOW with it that low and the light hitting them you can really see the Arrowana are really coming into their colours now.
As others are saying, why not put that log you took out of the gap to place in front of the pot there to hide it.
Looks great! I would stack several small rocks around the pots to hide them and make it look like the plants are growing out of little rock mounds between the roots.
Luke Braun Exactly what my thoughts were
Luke Braun good idea
That is a good idea but it might take up some of the rays swimming space!
That one ray is a trouble maker lol
From what I remember, vals have an initial melting period where some of the leaves will die off and the plant will look nasty, but it will bounce back right after, kind of like what crypts do, so don't get discouraged if they are melting, they should thrive in that tank.
potassium pomegranate lol
Why not add a few rocks to hide the pot(s)? Maybe not cover them entirely but it could help until algae does the rest.
What about replacing the big pot with something that looks like a more ancient pot? I've seen several for sale, you can line the big holes with mesh, fill it with a substrate, then plant all of the holes. Put the pot in at a tilt so it looks like it naturally sunk.
1 Million views bro this was so much fun to watch. i forgot how big the tank actually was! omg dude so sick
i follow you too

It's like 20 - 50k
But how often will you need to water them?🤔
Cranny Bee the plants? Unfortunately allday everyday!
I'm going to buy some of those floating plants, I really like them... Also that Beast tank is amazing!! And if seeing that big pot still bothers you, maybe you can cover the pot with a sand colored stocking.
The arowana did seem more coloered up. Can't wait to see this tank develop! Thanks for the inspiration Joey!
That big log you removed to put the big pot in put it back to cover the pot? Would love to see a water feature into the tank
Joey is very good with handling and respecting his fish, but I keep expecting to see an "I got stung" video. Hopefully I didn't just jinx you, Joey.
What if you siliconed some rocks to the pots to make it look more natural? I dont think the color of the pots really look nice in the the tank. It kind of stands out a bit too much.
I'll buy Frank ❤
King of diy doesn't paint his terracotta pots?
Hey, Joey. Maybe if you used some glue to attach some moss to the pots it would help with the natural look.
ill buy him for 10 bucks :)
Could you add some lotus flowers? I think this would really add to the eastern vibe and would be so cool whilst representing where the arrowanas come from. Maybe some water lilies too. Like if you agree!
i bet if you put a few of those river rocks you have around those pots it would help hide them a bit.
Aquadecor should make you some natural looking planters. The clay pots kinda ruin it.
Why dont you just put the log you took out infront of the pot? It will hide it
Perhaps you could cover the pot with the log that you removed from the tank? Just a thought.. Cheers
This will look great once the plants will grow! I wonder though... You surely still have that ton of rocks from your goldfish tank? Why not hide the pots with some of them? I think it would add to the look of the tank as well!
good idea
Gotta love the floor pancakes!!
Use the spare log to hide the big pot
Just pile some large rocks around the pots if you want them out of sight.
Can you not use that log you have removed to cover that visible pot? Plants will look great in some time:)
I really like the look with the pots. And once they've aged and grown some algae they'll blend right in.
Cover the pots you can see with rocks
I actually really like the look of the tank half full, has a cool amazon dry season look to it
Can you place rocks in the tank to hide the pots?
I think you should put rocks in front of the pots that you can't see them and the rays won't dig them up
The log you took out to cover that hole..I'd put it in front of that big pot for now to cover or disguise the pot..the other pots you do not see
Maybe some moss on the back wall?
Looks awesome. The green makes the tank come more alive and gives it another dimension.
I definitely like that plants at the surface! Not a big fan of the pots, it takes away from the natural look the rest of the aquascape carries. I'm sure he will figure out a way to change that...which is good MORE VIDEOS! But the added green does add to the overall look to the aquarium. Thanks for the videos! When are you coming to SoCal???
“The sun is thousands of miles away” ummm think it’s a little more than that
you should take a picture from a top down pov onto the top of the water. This way we can see how quickly the plants grow and duplicate on the surface.
Joey. Why didn’t you put that piece of wood back where the big pot was to hide the pot??
I would put in some rocks to hide the pot's..
or just put that log back
Shape spare log and put it in front of the pot
Put the log that you removed in front that visible pot
I'd check to see if there are toxic metals, like lead, in those pots. Heavy metals are not toxic to plants, so the production process doesn't eliminate the metals, and keeps retail prices very low.
Yo word up to the helpful wife with the camera SKILLS
Maybe contact aqua decor and see if they can make a "stump" to put that big pot in
dalton berkley or use silicone and roll in substrate lots of ways to make look natural. I think algae growth will cover just fine
you should put that piece of drift wood over the big pot so that you cannot see the pot and only the plants and maybe do the same with small pieces of driftwood to all the other pots.
Joey... looks a lot better with some live plants in the tank.. hope that they grow well for u..
It's pronounced hy-a-sinth.. I think.
You could have glued Java moss to the pots to hide them entirely
You should put anubias or javamoss on the "poles" :)
Naughty water puppies
Looks a lot better Joey! But why don't you place some rocks around the pot's?
David Van Deest over time they’ll grow algae and won’t be visible.
Raequel Suina I know that, he said that also in the video. But with some rocks in front of the pot's, it will look a lot more natural.
The wood you remove you have to lay down front of the big pot.. otherwise.. Just love that setup.... :)
10$? The most I can go is $3
At the end, your tank looks better than ever before!
Joey, if you really hate that pot so much, you could put some silicon on it and attach sand or rocks to it.
It looks awesome!!
Actually I was wrong the floating plants looks ok and probably benefits the fish behavior if they grow out of proportion just take out some and that’s it
this may have been mentioned already but, are the potted plants going to get enough light once the surface plants cover the water surface?
Hey Joey, I'd recommend placing a few river stones in front of those exposed pots. That should hide them well enough and bring a more natural look to the tank. Excellent work, love the floating plants.
Your water company must love you...
Brandon G
It's nice having a well.
Joey leave the big pot alone and let algae do it's thing. That pot serves a purpose to keep the rays safe and out from behind the background.
"The sun is thousands of miles away." - Joey, 2018
He's only off by about, oh, 92 million miles.
Pd Lc close enough 😂
Littlewings - let's not be picky about a few million-odd miles!:p
Pd Lc exactly! 😂
Hey Joey, why don't you use the log that you just removed to cover up the big pot for now.. For now I mean until it develops algea.
Am I the only one who feel like to swim in this tank....the water is so clear😅
Awesome light at the end. You should always light up the tank this much!! I don't mind the clay pot this much! Let's play the waiting game now 😊
Ever considered that its basically a indoor pond because it's so large?
Hey Joey why don’t you cover that large pot with the piece of wood you were using to cover that hole.
Water Hi-A-SINTH!!! You are killing me...
Put the small log back in front of the big pot
lol... it's hi-uh-synth
" hes $3 if anyone wants him " XD Cute little ray thinks he is a land dog, he likes to dig.
Isn't water hyacinth bad.........cuz eventually it blocks the light....and deplete oxygen..........I'm from kerala...nd they are a huge problem in d backwaters.
Potassium POMEGRANATE
Great vid
Hide the pots using anubias. U've used it before with the rays. Wont b a problem.
Quick qestion. Will rinsing aquarium gravel for plats make it loose nutritional value? Should you rinse it anyway?
Rugved Kulkarni yes it loses nutrients. So, no you shouldn't rinse it
That was my same thought for the other video.
I don't rinse after it's been in my aquarium but I always rinse when you buy it because of dust and particals
Val propagates with runners that will spread out and root in whatever substrate there is. It wont be long before the plants spread and hide the pots themselves. Im sure the rays will keep it in check though lol
Why not put some rocks by the pot?
Gonna be 800k subs soon Joey xxx! 😝
I certainly hope you are able to read this. Love your videos. Please have a look at a video I am posting on Monday, as I will tag you in a really awesome challenge!. I will be really cool if you can participate in this cool tag / challenge. A South African fan
Martins tank talk AWESOME!!!! 😁👌🐠
Hi Joey the hyacinth is pronounced "Hi-a-synth" ps looking good. so excited about the eggs.
Could of sprayed the pots sand colour. Would of barely noticed them.
put a log there ... and cover it ...
Looks awesome! As those plants grow it will really look great. Maybe aqua decor could make you something to cover that one pot.
