Yes! I saw him zoom around the tank as they were both looking around and as he looked to the left of the tank the bichir zipped round the right side 🤣 I couldn't help but laugh "he's right there! You'll see when you watch the footage back! 🤣"
Joey please don't listen to the people thinking the filters an eye sore! Half of the beauty of aquariums is the "tech"! I love to see the filter like you got it!! So you can see what's going on 🙌🏼 And also thank you for the great content as always !
I agree learning the tech is part of the fun. I think my whole goal tho is to make it as natural and beautiful as possible and seeing equipment just destroys that for me.
it's only an eyesore if it's "not hidden." Therefore it's not an eyesore. Better to be able to see it and see what's going on with it than not don't cha think. Plus you're able to monitor it better versus covering it now the only way to check is by uncovering it versus coming down turning the aquarium light on and being able to see it right away (hands free) you spot something you can take care of it right there versus covering it lights on remove, place, declutter, replace, recover the filter finish. versus lights on declutter finish. You don't have to put anything back it's all right there 😎
I actually like seeing the filter media from the side of the tank, and I don't think it detracts the rest of the tank, either. Those 180's are huge and look damn good!
I love your passion for aquariums. Thanks for all the great entertainment and education. I’m following your plywood aquarium build to make a new home for my giant gourami Andre, and it has been a huge help!
Being in the hobby for well over 30 years, the one thing that I've learnt about filtration is that you can't have enough.... The more (and bigger) fish you have, the more filtration you'll need!
The way you freaked when you thought he hadn’t gone in the tank, the worry on your face Joey, pure passion and love for the hobby and your fish….. Legend 🙏
I think your best ever tank! Great stocking, great scape and I actually really like showing off the DIY filter, it looks good and is interesting to see it working right in your face rather than hidden. 10 out of 10!
I don’t like seeing the filter through the aquarium it self (you know where the fish swim), but through the sides it looks pretty cool imo. And i don’t know why, but Ronald seems like a good name for that fish 😬
The more I clean canister filters, the more I appreciate do-it-yourself built in filters. They are efficient, easy to access and clean, no dealing with hoses, no leaks on the floor when cleaning, they are perfect and cheap.
Been watching you and following you for A long time now.. i love seeing how your hobby is still growing and that you seem to still love it.. you taught me a lot… Unfortunately I’ve had some surgeries on my arm so it’s been hard for me to do water changes and had to get rid of all my tanks… Watching you makes it hard for me though now… Miss my fish and tanks… Please keep going because If i am able to get back to it I’m gonna still continue to love watching you and learn from you.. please keep the positive attitude and teaching And being a inspiration… Hope I can one day I do this again to just on a way lower scale than you.. be even rly cool to see your gallery in person..
Very nice tank, well thought out and engineered for the occupants. I like the filter the way it is. Of course, I love watches that let you see the gears, and exposed machines that show technology. I look forward to the follow ups, Jim PS: Thanks again; my son and I love your book. He just built his first stand based on your design and insights.
People say visible sponge filters in the tank are ugly but I like being able to see my sponge filters and the bubbles rising out of the tube. I just like the look of it.
Maybe it's an unpopular opinion but I like seeing the filter, I like seeing what's going on in a system. Of course having an aquarium with no obvious visible equipment is also very beautiful but I would argue that visible equipment can add to the aesthetic in a similar way that the 'industrial' look has become fashionable in interior decoration. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder as always! Great work Joey, the Oscar tank does look amazing!
Me just sitting here watching the Bichir zoom into the tank, run to the right side of the tank, and then make its way back to the left side where it was finally found.......if I could just yell into the computer 👀😂
I need to stop saying I’m going to do it and just do it..really need to start getting some stuff from aqua Decor. The rocks look great. Oscar aquarium iS looking ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL
I think the filter looks good being just see through, reminds me of the filter Foo The Flowerhorn built out of glass internally in his Oscar tank. Super sick concept IMO
Question for you Joey. You've done numerous videos on PVC overflows before. But even though they work and I've been using them for years thanks to your videos; they're really ugly. I have two 125 gallon aquariums for my oscar fish which are a mated pair at about 9 inches right now oh, and the second one is for my Red Devil who has for the time being by himself until I find him a mate. I also have two 40 gallon breeder tanks one that has a mated pair of koi angelfish that are currently swimming around with a bunch of fry right now, so I have their some turned off right now and have them running on sponge filters to protect the fry. The other is a community tank. Then there's my quarantine Tower that has three 10 gallon tanks. All of my tanks are running on DIY sump filtration 1 sump for each individual tank except for the tower which is running one sump for all three. Each of the pumps set to turn over the tank volume five times per hour. However; I've just never been able to get over just how ugly the PVC overflows are. All of my tanks were bought from PetSmart and so they are all tempered glass that I cannot drill except for the 10 gallons which there's really no point drilling a 10 Would love to see a video on these in line overflow valves that I keep hearing about instead of this Twist of tubing that I have outside of each of my tanks. I guess my other alternative is to do what you've done here as personally I don't think it's that bad looking it's just that to do so would mean getting new pumps as the ones that I have are quite large and wouldn't be feasible to put inside of the tank. Being a beginner I overestimated the size of the pumps that I would need and so only have them running at 30 up to 45% and even that is turning my tanks over five times an hour. Imagine if I went full-bore. I originally wanted all of the tanks hooked up together and was going to build a sump with enough capacity but it probably could have supported a small pond. But later decided after having already purchased them, that I wanted each tank to have its own individual filtration in case of any disease Breakout. But the bumps that are running my big tanks are turning over 1720 gallons per hour if I had them at 100% so they are far too large. They run great, but they're too large to do that in tank system that you just built. Which I think is genius because it solves any issues with overflowing and balancing period due I make the sacrifice and buy smaller pumps and just put these ones away or what do you think would be best?
I like the look of the filtration system, I had a similar setup on my peacock cichlid tank. it was cool to see where all the water was going. It does sacrifice some space in the display tank, but you don't have to risk breaking your tank by drilling :D
Awesome tanks , just an idea, a dark window tint on the front of the glass would be cool to cover the filter you built in the tank , you c oi ukd peel it off if u wanted to change it back, thanks for sharing your passion, really dope, peace and blessings

14:46 Tyrese charging the one Oscar and then the Oscar turns around like "Excuse you??" lol
I love Oscars. They have such great personalities.
Oscars where my first fish.. I had 4. They act more like a dog tbh😊
“He’s not in the net, that’s not cool, where is he?”
He literally everywhere you’re not looking. 😂
Yes! I saw him zoom around the tank as they were both looking around and as he looked to the left of the tank the bichir zipped round the right side 🤣
I couldn't help but laugh "he's right there! You'll see when you watch the footage back! 🤣"

agreed i like the look as well also it allows for good monitoring no guessing needed when it comes to maintenance
7:25 Had a good chuckle at the bichir spazzing while Joey tried figuring out where he went.
I love your passion for aquariums. Thanks for all the great entertainment and education. I’m following your plywood aquarium build to make a new home for my giant gourami Andre, and it has been a huge help!

I think it’s safe to say that the tank looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

Absolutely phenomenal *

Glad you finally named him. Ronnie has been my favorite Oscar!!! I hope to find one that looks like him to have as my wet pet friend.
What a gorgeous tank and your bond with the misses is spot on fella one of your best videos mate love it
Wow. WOW. Joey, wow. That aquarium really is ultimate. great job!
Loved this type of vedio format all the running around and the high energy
Ronnie's colour is beautiful! I love all my fish but my red Oscar is by far the most friendly, we've literally sat and watch a movie together.
The despair when you didn't see the fish was one of the most relatable things in this channel's history
I think your best ever tank! Great stocking, great scape and I actually really like showing off the DIY filter, it looks good and is interesting to see it working right in your face rather than hidden. 10 out of 10!
Those 180 tanks are gorgeous - it is amazing how much more room there is to see everything swimming.
!Fantastic! Those Oscars have such great colour 😍
Love it Joey👏🏼😁
I don’t like seeing the filter through the aquarium it self (you know where the fish swim), but through the sides it looks pretty cool imo. And i don’t know why, but Ronald seems like a good name for that fish 😬
I tinted the fronts of the filters last night! Looks way better now.
@@thekingofdiy wel, going to wait for that video 😂😂
Personally I like it see through too it looks dope 👌
WOW!!! Looks Great. New favorite??? Maybe. Love exposed filter.
Joey...having a bichir AND a fahaka in an oscar tank I believe does indeed make it the ultimate oscar tank so kudos to you man....you rock.
I can't tell you how perfect timing this is! I have a 190 coming and Im taking in about 6 Oscar's that size im so excited
The more I clean canister filters, the more I appreciate do-it-yourself built in filters. They are efficient, easy to access and clean, no dealing with hoses, no leaks on the floor when cleaning, they are perfect and cheap.
“Oh no Joey!, You didn’t wash the new media!”
Already waiting for that comment

The excitement Joey gets from adding the fish does something for me.... Such a happy dude

Joey! I Fn love the sump on the side. When you have an aquarium that big, its not really taking away from the fish.
So impressed with the new setups! Amazing job Joey!
So great that you showed the after look from 24hrs later in same vid. Please always do that.
I must confess, I love seeing the filters, and I would build them to be visible, so I can monitor them visually 😊
Why is it satisfying to watch this man work?
I actually like the cool filters you built. I also loved how the Oscar's were looking at you intensely while you got the cycled media out. Lol
Tank turned out great! Everybody looks good.
My literal dream aquarium. ❤️ it is absolutely stunning. Can’t wait to see more!!
The lighting is beautiful.
Tank looks amazing!
For me clear view of the filter makes it much easier to see how the filter is doing.
Also for maintenance.
That came together really nicely.
Joey is the best in the game!
Love that scape joey! Love that you were able to incoperate some plants despite the oscars!
Great looking tank Joey!!
Tank looks amazing. Your scaping skills are getting better!!
That's not an eye sore, I like it, you get to see the inner workings. Makes it better to show in vids.
Honestly the tank looks great I like the filter I like that you can see the filter great job once again bud
Loving how often the videos are rolling now!
That Oscar tank with the new scape is looking good very cool
I personally like being able to see the filtration it's a nice clean design kinda like a jacked up version of them fluval tanks
That really turned out awesome!

Thank you Joey. The Oscar tank is the bomb.
I love everything about this aquarium. Joey, great job!
Very beautiful self built aquarium Not a eye sore at all
Beautiful craftsmanship
Me just sitting here watching the Bichir zoom into the tank, run to the right side of the tank, and then make its way back to the left side where it was finally found.......if I could just yell into the computer 👀😂
I love the Bicher!
Bro. What a fantastic sight to see. You deserve a holiday!
Sir King.. Those filters are dope.. 😍😍
Just love this tank
Love the filter system
Looks great
That looks cool Bro , not an eye sore..... Good stuff....Hoorah!!
I need to stop saying I’m going to do it and just do it..really need to start getting some stuff from aqua Decor. The rocks look great. Oscar aquarium iS looking ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL
I saw that 2nd 180, holy **** that tank looks incredible! Oscar tank beautiful as always, but cannot wait for that 2nd 180
You could use a thin black panel with thin magnets on each corner to cover the filtration area.
Dude! That's a lot of tanks! I love it
Awesome 👍
This is one of those things where, those aquariums look so small on camera, but when you put tyrese in there. It really puts it into perspective.
That tank is awesome! I once kept three oscars in a 90g, but this is so much more awesome.
that endli is going to love that gravel.i bet it will bury itself and sit there with its eyes popping out mine used to do it all the time lol
It's gorgeous Joey!! Everything about it is perfection
I think the filter looks good being just see through, reminds me of the filter Foo The Flowerhorn built out of glass internally in his Oscar tank. Super sick concept IMO
Great idea Joey this tank looks amazing 👍

Long awaited video. Your tank looks awesome joey:)
Love seeing the filter I'll love to be able to see into mine see where the media is
I loved all the "maniacal" laughter coming from Joey. lol
*loving the filter*
I like seeing the inside of the filter.
Damn, that clarity and lighting. A haven for aquarium lovers.
Absolutely phenomenal!! 😍😍

Amazing. 👍👍👍
This tank is gorgeous
Really love the Oscar tank excellent 👌
Beautiful setup.
really like the stocking on this tank
My 180 gallon is getting here in a couple of weeks. I'm STOKED!
I like showing Media so you can see how it was made and works 👍
Looks great ❤️👏👏👏
Awesome tanks , just an idea, a dark window tint on the front of the glass would be cool to cover the filter you built in the tank , you c oi ukd peel it off if u wanted to change it back, thanks for sharing your passion, really dope, peace and blessings
The dimensions of the 180g look amazing!
That filter is cool too see working ignore what people say that’s my new favorite tank
I am watching again, and I love the filter system, so I can keep an eye on the filter
