Have only been following your channel for a few months (tied for favourite with King of DIY, a fellow Maritimer ;) ), but I've fallen in love with this tank. It's an amazing achievement, and I look forward to seeing what comes next for it!
@@chrissy24-7 The mats don't help once your joints are bad enough. I've got degenerative joint disease in it's final stages in both knees and hips. They all need replacement. When I could work I could feel the difference between reinforced concrete and regular (soft) concrete just by the amount of pain it would put me in.
Love this tank because I love loaches. My favorite fish. I have 3 different kinds of them. Two of dojos eat out of hand and just lay in my hand. Best wishes to moving the tank Rachel. I'm disabled and moving smaller tanks then you have is alot of work. 💖🐟🐡🦐😊
Hello Rachel, I have enjoyed this beautiful and inspiring tank from the first time I saw it on here. As bittersweet (and daunting) as it is to have to dismantle it and relocate it, I see it as a FANTASTIC opportunity to rebuild it using the things you learned from it and then passed along to us over the last 4 years. From the sounds of it, if it can make your work surface / shipping station more comfortable, safe, and efficient, then we all win in that case. This tank has been an absolute JOY to watch over time and now I absolutely cannot wait to see your Hillstream 2.0 Remixed tank! We all can continue to get our fixes while watching replays of the Hillstream content that you have posted. Be careful and take good care of yourself during all of the tank shuffling that you will be doing. I will be waiting at the finish line and cheering you all the way - you got this!
I've always loved this tank and it will be sad to see it go. I understand you need to restructure for your health and wellbeing. Hope the rebuild is even more fabulous. Sending you good thoughts xoxo
Rachel, you’re the best! I am so inspired by this tank and I am planning a Hillstream tank of my own. Yes, you are saying goodbye to this set up, but you are going to be so excited when you have it in a better spot to view it. You will create something new and beautiful to enjoy and your fish will have a new place to explore. It will be amazing! Heal quickly!
Man, I was so bummed to see you say goodbye to this tank, but I'm even more excited to see you rebuild! Looking forward to seeing the new fishroom layout and experiencing the 150 growing out again. Take care of you and thank you for always taking us along!
Thanks so much for sharing so many videos of this tank!! It inspired my 75 gallon hillstream which is now over a year old. I had never kept any of these kinds of fish before and they've thrived in this tank. One note is that rhinogobius rubromaculatus are larger than other types and will eat smaller danios and rasboras. All of the others are peaceful!
That was definitely my favorite tank especially in person. Just an amazing and unique tank. I am a little sad you are breaking it down but so stoked to see what you will create !
Right on, do what's right for your body. Thanks for building this, I've loved this tank since you built it, and it inspired me to do a 40 gallon verson.
This aquarium has always inspired me. I hate to see it go but I absolutely understand the need to make things as efficient as possible. It will be great to see the rebuild.
I'm excited to see the reboot of my favorite of your tanks! I hope to do something similar to this in the next year. It's an inspirational tank for sure!
Your modified 150 gallon hillstream motivated me to build up my smaller 40 gallon hillstream with a nice school of zebra danios and Amano shrimp. I dream of adding orange fin danios one day. I love your channel and look forward to the next chapter.
I got SO worried when I saw the title of this video! I thought you had tank disaster... So relieved the tank is just being moved. I hope you can get your fish room set up better for your health needs. I'd love to hear more about that process.
You are correct, those little fishes are awesome to see coming and going in and out of the bottom there. I would be mesmerized sitting there for hours just watching them. Love the gobys and loaches. May look into the hill streams.
Wow, what a beautiful tank! I love it. One could sit for hours and enjoy what you have built. I’m really liking your channel, and learning a lot. I’m doing my research in preparation for my first tank, which is going to be a 20 gallon long, low tech planted tank. I’m so excited and am taking advantage of many, many TH-cam channels so that when the time comes, I’ll be sufficiently knowledgeable and will be successful with my tank. Thanks for the quality content of your channel. 💕
Following the Hillstream aquarium has been a joy. I know the tank needs to be moved, but it gives me a little knot in my stomach. Hope the move is not too difficult and all the fish survive the move.
Oooooh, I'm at work and got this notification when I was in a meeting and excused myself, pretended I got a phone call so I could check it out. Thought you were leaving us Rachel, that would have been devastating. I will miss that tank. But can't wait to see what you do.
I’m so sorry for your doctors instructions. I’ve had to have three elbow surgeries and back surgery and am in a similar boat. I can only handle two tanks these days....really forever now. It’s really hard to have things taken from you for medical reasons.
When I first read the title of this video, I panicked because I thought you were going off TH-cam! I'm so glad you are not leaving! I'd like to buy that unusual fish that I've been mentioning.
Excited to see this little project develop, and glad it will make things easier for you. I feel for you for all the work ahead though! But it will be enjoyable work I hope 😊
Oh yes, mixed emotions. My favorite tank of all. Still does not seem that long ago you took us with you to gather rocks for it. I know the rebuild will be impressive and I'll love it, just can't help having that flutter of sadness. 👍💕👍
Sad to see the hill stream come down but super excited about the possibility of more shiners! Rainbow shiners are one I've been looking for for a while. US native species are seriously under rated. Darters are another neat species to work with and we have a lot of beautiful ones here in PA.
Gosh.. I really want hillstream loaches again. They are so darn adorable to watch. Like.. can't have stingrays b/c you don't have the room?? Then get these little guys! lol
Always lots of work to do... I do really like the videos of this tank and hopefully everything comes together without any major issues. Best wishes sent your way!
A highly humid environment, such as a basement aquarium room, could lead to rot with cork. Rubber shop mats are softer and would last much, much longer.
@@RachelOLeary talk about some hard work, you have your work cut out for you with redoing your fish tanks that's gonna take a while to get it all set up right. again.
Love this tank!! I was in awe when you were able to move your lace plant with no die back, hope the crypts do the same. Sorry to hear your knee is still giving you problems. I think I got lucky with mine but it was done in the late 70s. Looking forward to seeing the developments in your fish room. Wish I was there to lend a hand and learn from a true Fish Pimp. Thanks so much Rachel...you never cease to amaze me!!
Oh, and for species, I don't know if they are small enough, but I've been absolutely in love with Barilius ardens. Once mature the colors are stunning. Additionally they don't seem to be piscivorous, though their mouths are certainly big enough, instead they overwhelmingly prefer picking food off the surface with especial relish for insects.
Extremely excited for your new build, and particularly looking forward to the addition of more shiners. I absolutely hate how the smaller, yet colorful North American fish such as rainbow shiners and rainbow darters get overlooked, and representing them on TH-cam in tanks is always good to see.
I use large, restaurant quality, rubber mats in my kitchen and on my back porch. A few years ago, I broke my ankle and had to have a long plate and several screws. The ankle aches if I'm on it too long on hard floors. Mats really help.
It's a litt;e sad Rachel, but I'm sure with all the knowledge and expertise you have gained over the years your new tank is going to be AWESOME . Keep up the great work
What a great video, now I remember why you got me addicted to Fishkeeping and this beautiful build. So many gorgeous fish and plants. That's why I appreciate my large bedroom tank since I've been very ill. I just lie here with a cup of tea and watch my fish .Hubby has even started doing water changes for me, as I had to sell all my other fish and tanks with being ill and he thought keeping this one tank, would give me something beautiful to watch.
It is one of the best looking tanks I've seen, minimalistic but great to look at like you say. When you said what you are doing changing these tanks around it seems like a lot of work involved in a short amount of time. Please make sure you have help. I for one have a bad back and know how much moving tanks and setting them up again affects my back. I look forward to seeing how it progresses. I love the Hillstream loach and will find out if we can get them here in Melbourne Australia.. I would love to get a few of them...etc..
Necessity is the mother of invention. Definitely your Flagship Aquarium, it has been a pleasure to watch its evolution. (yes, been watching since the channel started)
It's a lovely tank and I know what you mean about keeping the water cool. we have had some really hot weather in the UK and I have a freezer right outside the back door full of frozen water bottles to float. People think I'm nuts but I don't care as long as my fish are happy lol.
I just moved to a new house and had to move a bunch of tanks and it was so stressful. None of them were very big though. The thought of moving this huge tank...even just across the fish room stresses me out. Good luck.
One of my favorite tanks. Would love to have a 150 dressed like that so I could just sit in my basement and chill. As always good work stay humble and take care
I have full confidence that you will be able to move it successfully without too much having to change when you put it back together (unless you decide to make bigger changes). Even if the plants melt during the transfer they'll bounce back before you know it. It's not a goodbye really.
Awesome video. Beautiful. I'd like to find out about acquiring some of the fish you are sending out as part of your process, if any of them would be appropriate for my aqua environment.
For the Hillstream Aquarium I suggest Green Darter Tetras. I think they would meet all your criteria such as size, okay for cold water and it’s colorful and would sit on the leaves.
sad to know its being dismantled, but ur gonna make it even better than it is now :) them silver loaches remind me of my weather loaches(pond/dojo) when I first had them, wish they stayed that small hehehehee… and yeah don't take too long, u shud have a record amount of fish/critters to bring in this year :)
Hey Rachel sorry about the tank I just hv guppies thats all but I've learn so much don't want to expand to different fish just wanted to thank you good luck and I will miss that tank for real
This has been my favorite TH-cam Aquarium since you set it up; but nothing is forever, but we shall not forget. Shall we call this Hillstream One? I am eagerly awaiting for the rebuild; new location, new stand, some new fish. Shall we call that Hillstream Two? Whatever we call it, I'm sure it will be my favorite TH-cam aquarium.
It's exciting to change and renew things! But in regard to hard floor, maybe you can line the floor with some sleeping pads or yoga mats, there is some cheap models, and at least the closed cell foam sleeping pad can get wet and just be wiped off.
Thanks so much for sharing with us. When you decide to restock please consider Botia kubotai in odd numbers. They are very entertaining in a hillsteam tank The more the merrier with these guys. Maybe breed ?

In addition getting soft mats in front of the aquariums could help? I have some in my kitchen. (osteoarthritis throughout) 🤷♂️ 💕
I already have them, and always have- its just not enough. Between standing to catch, then to bag, then carrying out- I just cannot do it.
Have only been following your channel for a few months (tied for favourite with King of DIY, a fellow Maritimer ;) ), but I've fallen in love with this tank. It's an amazing achievement, and I look forward to seeing what comes next for it!

I've got degenerative joint disease in it's final stages in both knees and hips. They all need replacement.

Stay tuned today!
This is one of my favorite tanks so of course I clutched my pearls at the thought of it going bye bye. Looking forward to seeing what you'll do next.
Me too Mad Fish Diva! My heart fell just a little when I saw this. Rachel was my first subscription. I have always admired her
I've always loved this tank and it will be sad to see it go. I understand you need to restructure for your health and wellbeing. Hope the rebuild is even more fabulous. Sending you good thoughts xoxo
i think it's nice.. sad to see it taken down, but it's like breathing new life in to it. can't wait for the new set-up! xx
So much life and activity inside that tank. Truly and epic aquarium. Looking forward to seeing Hillstream 2.0 😉👍
I saw that title and my heart nearly said good-bye O_O but then again... shucks... gonna take a bit to watch this...

Its all good!! You have memories in the vault to look back and enjoy! 🤜🤛
It's a very beautiful tank the fish look healthy and happy they behave very naturally when you are going to rebuilt it . it will be even better 👌👌👌
It such a nice tank showing off the fish in close to natural habitat. I am looking forward to Hillstream V2.0
Change is good when it is for the benefit of your health. I can't wait to see the new design of the fish room!
I'd love to see you start working with Panda Loaches in a setup like this. We could really use more domestic breeding of those fish.
I will be waiting to see new project
And I hope it will come out more beautiful
Hey! PA native here! I'm in kutztown loving your content
Hey neighbor!
Great video and amazing tank.Thanks for sharing !
Awww............this tank has been an inspiration to me for the last few years
I have full confidence that you will be able to move it successfully without too much having to change when you put it back together (unless you decide to make bigger changes). Even if the plants melt during the transfer they'll bounce back before you know it. It's not a goodbye really.
Awesome video. Beautiful. I'd like to find out about acquiring some of the fish you are sending out as part of your process, if any of them would be appropriate for my aqua environment.

Sounds exciting and a lot of work look forward to the new faze of the fish room
Good luck 😁👌
sad to know its being dismantled, but ur gonna make it even better than it is now :)
them silver loaches remind me of my weather loaches(pond/dojo) when I first had them, wish they stayed that small hehehehee… and yeah don't take too long, u shud have a record amount of fish/critters to bring in this year :)

This was the tank that got me into fish keeping. I look forward to version 2.0
I absolutely love this aquarium!!!
Me too. Me too 😥
I mainly keep a 1000lt reef but I absolutely love your videos ,,,
This has been my favorite TH-cam Aquarium since you set it up; but nothing is forever, but we shall not forget. Shall we call this Hillstream One?

Whatever we call it, I'm sure it will be my favorite TH-cam aquarium.
It's exciting to change and renew things!
But in regard to hard floor, maybe you can line the floor with some sleeping pads or yoga mats, there is some cheap models, and at least the closed cell foam sleeping pad can get wet and just be wiped off.
I have double thick rubber mats there already, it's just not enough

Ok, just wanted to throw out the option there, you are a step ahead. 😀
Hope you get better soon!

See you again soon hillstream aquarium!!!

Yes
