After clearing out all the mini tubs in his fish room, Cory is now focused on working on the 40-gallon breeder tanks one by one. In the first tank, he decorated it with chicken bone rock and lots of cryptocoryne plants. Later on, he plans to modify the lid to make room for mounting the auto feeder.

I’m loving the old school videos with Cory with a camera in his fish room!!
Me too!
same!
I second this!! These are my favorite style of videos. Although, I don’t want Cory to work forever so if they ever do have the change to allow Cory to do what he wants, so be it :)
This is a much more enjoyable fishroom as an Aquarium co-op fan. You can hear Cory's passion is back.
I'm doing laundry this week because mom's recovering from an emergency hernia surgery... Aquarium Co-op saves the day with the perfectly timed new video release...! Thanks, Cory and gang, y'all are worth way more than you know...! Keep up your awesomeness and go enjoy some nature today...!
Also wanted to add that I really appreciate the discussion on the difference between “aquascaping” and thanks that have “plants for fish”. Both of these are worthwhile hobbies, but it helps to understand that they are Different hobbies. This understanding would have saved me hundreds in both plants AND fish! Now I have separate tanks for each and we are all happy! 😊
I learn so much from these style videos!! You are a great teacher Cory! I'm a science teacher and inherited 4 tanks when the last science teacher left. They went totally overboard with the filters and never did water changes. I don't know how the fish survived, the nitrates were so high in all the tanks. Your videos have helped me problem-solve and slowly reduce the number of filters. I've slowly been adding live plants (think all plastic plants, colored gravel, and pirate ship decorations everywhere). The fish are doing great and I've been able to fine-tune the communities. THANK YOU!!
I love these videos of Cory just sharing his fish room and giving great tips without the super high production. just getting some good old cory videos. Kinda like how aquarium co op started
I’m liking the open space in the middle. Excited to see it turn into a chill useable hang out space. The totes were overwhelming
You sound so much happier now! The curiosity and wonder about nature is back in your voice. As well as the wish for others to have the same experience. The tanks giving energy instead of eating it up, beautiful. And you lead the "how to create a good habitat for yourself"- life- knowledge - journey by example. Showing we all have to adjust, move, change on all of our ongoing journeys that is life. It's genuin and fluffing brilliant! You gave me a big smile watching your video today. I love the updates and ideas, you invite us all to join you, to visit you and your fish room. Thank you!
Nicely said Sofia! Great video Cory🇨🇦😍
@@kathleenbronson9849 It's a great thing we can enjoy Cory's knowledge and fish room from far away! 🇸🇪🖖🏼
Cory demonstrating how a chair works is the vibe I needed today.
This was so cool, like way way back in the day. Cory, no fancy stream, just talking to us as he's trying to film one handed and do stuff with the other whole showing and telling and talking and ambling round the fish room. Love this, just wish it was longer, but that's what Sundays are for...
👍❤️👍
We can certainly hear & feel your enthusiasm! Enjoyed the update! 🫶
I love the cherry shrimp and white cloud combo! Go for it!
Love my Saturday Mornings - Fish tube and coffee- that is the life 😊!
Cory is my best fish friend. Cause literally no one else cares. Thanks for being there for me pal.
Loving the old school video, and Cory seemed so excited to be going back to his roots. It's so easy to get in a rut in this hobby
You sound so much more enthused! I love the scaled down fish room, and am trilled to see it more developed and green. Thanks for your knowledge and enjoy nature daily!
Another vote for my favourite type of video. This is also actually my favourite type of tank - simpler but geared more towards the needs of the fish and ease of maintenance rather than just the look of it.
Best intro ever.
The old-style fish room video is back. Thank you Cory. It was very entertaining.
Loving these fish room videos. The tone and enthusiasm in your voice is so very different from before. Absolutely love it
You're not aquascaping, you are decorating for your fish! Great video, thanks!
Loving the energy and excitement for the new fish room direction and we even get useful tips and tricks on the side, the best kind of Cory video. Also fun seeing rarer live bearers!
Red shrimp and chili Rasboras is my vote love this form of content brings me back to the old days makes me feel more connected
Thanks for the demo on using the tweezers to plant. In the past I have not had an easy time planting potted plants and having them stay put. I will use your method in the future. Looking forward to seeing the tank lid modification.
I enjoy the hands on fish room tweaking...building...changing and experimenting. Thank you for the effort and passing your know how along.
Fun to watch. Good to see you having a time to enjoy nature. This is fun.
If you only get one fertilizer, Easy Green is the one you want. Our unique formula is comprehensive, concentrated, and easy to use. Just dose 1 pump per 10 gallons of water and watch your planted tank flourish! Try it out: www.aquariumcoop.com/products/easy-green-all-in-one-fertilizer
Utilitarian scaping?! Habitat scaping?!
How about u just say "furnish"!
Let's furnish these aquariums.
I would call my bettas tanks their "apartments".🤣
He is NOT lying. Makes Me look like a master horticulturist!!! I mean GUESS you got to call em as you see em!! Haha
Awesome! Enjoyed hanging out! It’s knowledge of the small things that matter and they flow so natural from you! Thanks Cory!
More of this kind of videos!
This video just gave me the motivation to start scaping my 40 gallon tanks in my fish room really love the idea of one tank at a time ‼️🤝💯
Loving this style of videos
The intro, I love it 🤣
Team aquarium co-op love the video Cory liking the changes in the fish room and all other content put out by the channel keep up the great work keep those videos coming love watching them see you on the next one 🌿
I'd honestly want those livebearers just because they look cute. Don't know what it is about them, but I've loved the look(s) of every different livebearer I've had. Think they're absolutely adorable!
Love this type of video. So much good info.
I absolutely love this setup. Great job and thank you for all the great advice, which to me is priceless....Thank you 😊
these fishroom videos are perfect keep them coming
OMG, planting at an angle is the tip I've been missing!
These are my favorite types of videos
The downsize was a great idea. With my fish room I have realized that more tanks is not necessarily better. Saturday Coop video woohoooo!
Very Much Enjoyed This!!!
Clicking the tongs always works when I'm grilling so it has to work for planting hahaha. I've got a 75 gallon filled with a bunch of your plants and some rock planters (very cool by the way) but really want to get a 40 gallon breeder into the mix. 75 is pretty glorious in my opinion, but the 40 gallon has its own charm. Getting one during next Petco sale which might be this weekend?!
I'm loving the new look of the fish room with all the extra
space & the fish tanks along the wall looks a lot bigger
I also like the rocks from china too they are super cool.
Yay new update!!!!! I literally sit every day just waiting for the uploads
LOVE these videos the most!
Thank you for the nice long video!
Loved this video. Thanks for the tips.
This is the update I've been waiting for
I'm really looking forward to a diy video on customizing glass lids to accommodate autofeeders. I love them in growout/breeding tanks, but I have an awful problem with evaporation in lid-less tanks.
Really enjoyed this video!!!
You sound happy 😊. Watching while prepping for our local Oklahoma Aquarium Club meeting!
Crypt separation is a great tip for new aquascapers. In time those plants can be pulled out and separated again.
More tong clicks, more aquascape XP!!
I really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing 💗💯✌️👍
My favorite kinda video
Looking forward to my new order. Got your tubifex worms to see how my guppies enjoy them. Thanks as always for what you do
So many way to combine powerhead with media filter you want to put.
Thank you Sir.
Great stream. Somewhat of a beginner. Learned a lot. Thank you!
Last time I checked out one of you're videos, you seemed burnt out. Glad to hear the excitement back! Keep up the good work and bringing people to the hobby!
Great info!!! Thanks Cory!!
Love those rocks, so gorgeous! I'd put blue fish in that tank. Maybe a school of blue neons and/or blue shrimp. The contrast would show off the rocks and the inhabitants really well.
I miss the first version of this fish room
Love your setup
Can't wait to see how you set up the feeders. are you planning on making them all uniform on the left, or right, sides of the tanks or are you going to stagger them in order to save space? For instance in the same gap between tanks you could service the tank on the left and the tank on the right from the gap if you have one feeder forward of the rubber strip and one behind it. Same number of pieces of glass needing to be cut but saves horizontal shelf space.
I plan to have em all face the same way due to the way the cord will be. But when actually installing all of them that way, plans can change.
@@AquariumCoop Understood. by my calculations it's only a total difference of roughly 2-ish feet of total gap vs 4-ish feet so not a huge difference but could be meaningful depending on the space available.
Looks great
This is the first time I learned how to plant with the tweezers!
The battery backup is super important. Too many people will spend a fortune on filters and pumps and lights and sterilizers and have no plan for a power outage.
Love these videos!!!!
What's interesting is that my Red Eared Slider turtle also released about 10 eggs last night. In the past, I had a pleco with my turtle and the same thing happened to its eyes from the turtle, as well. Thanks for the video! Would love to see how that platform was created.
Keep the videos coming !
That was awesome.
Looks empty, but that will change. Seems like you will be enjoying the fishroom more. I would call what you do, fishscaping, because you are more focused on the fish being happy/healthy, than on the perfection of the hardscape. Take care, be well
Man there have been so many changes. I’ve got to get my membership back. Hopefully soon I can join up again.
Great video
Seriously wish I had enough room to have that many fish tanks.
If you keep it as a goal, you likely will. My fish room was my living room in a duplex, then it was the garage/laundry room of that duplex. Each time over the last 20 years, I tried to get my fish room to be better. One of the moves, I was down to about 6 tanks is all in my office and no fish room.
@@AquariumCoop It's a goal of mine for sure. I'm in a small condo and so far managed to get 3 tanks on the kitchen counter. A 29, 20, and 10 gallon. So one step at a time.
Awesome content! I love these videos.
Good video, Cory.
new logo for aquarium co op?
Just ordered my first plant order from you I can’t wait to get them
WOW those livebearers! Iwant so many more options than what I have. Guppies, platys,mollies etc. I only like guppies and then im picky. Your livebearers are goals
That one turtle is like “dad hi dad , dad feed me “ 🤭😂
I couldn’t see cutting that glass like that. I had to go with the greenhouse siding. It was black stripless and totally customizable 👍
Cool video!
The turtle tank sponge filters not getting cleaned killed me lol
Why? A brand new tank will take anything it can get. People chase clean way too often. I chase nature, balance and ecosystem. When I find turtles in the wild they’re in a layer of milk and leaves 3 for deep.
@@AquariumCoop Not because it was dirty as such, just because it didn't match the clean one lol
Really liking the new style of video with the graphics 👍
Blue shrimp on the red stone would look nice. I see loads of folks put blue shrimp in a really dark and green tank and they just disappear and think should have used red, but this is one case where I think red shrimp would disappear.
excellent video
Cory, have you seen the new article from Real Simple?
Duckweed has hit mainstream recipe generators!
"Meet Mankai Duckweed" covers the health benefits and nutritional value of both wolffia and Lemnia varieties.
I've got families buying duckweed from me in much larger quantities than the fish stores ever did. 😊
You mentioned that rare fern was covered in black beard algae. I’d love to see a video on how you clean that up.
I'll see what I can do about that.
Awesome
I run way oversized sponge filters and only have to clean them maybe every two months. I don't think sponge filters look bad in a tank at all so I don't mind big ones. Beats the heck out of the box filters we had years ago.
I would enjoy a play by play of the steps taken to get rid of the BBA on plants. I have been working on it for what feels like forever. I have defiantly stopped it from spreading but just can't seem to make it completely go away.
I love that huge plant on your wall. I may have missed it but what did you say it was? I love plants and would love to get one like that! Also love how the room is coming along.
Your pothos leaves are getting bigger because it's climbing and maturing 🙂 I had mine climbing up and down some stuff on my wall and they'd get bigger on the way up and then smaller again as they went back down
your biggest fan from iran, love your videos so muuuuuch
Can you give us an update on what intensity you run your light on your various 40 gallon breeders? My 37 gallon is set up similar to your chicken bone aquarium and I'm running your light at MAX POWER! :)
OK I'm genuinely confused (ignorant) here. If all that poop in the gravel is good for the plants, then when and why do we gravel vac? I'm just about to maintain my 55g which I hate doing so I convince myself it isn't necessary to vacuum all the time!
I have no idea why lol. I learned in one of Corey's older videos not to gravel vac around plants because that poop is feeding them. As long as water okay I've stopped gravel vac all together.
It will ultimately depend on your philosophy of husbandry. Oftentimes, people mix incompatible practices and get frustrated because they don't see the results/benefits that they intended. If you test for Zero ammonia, Zero ni•trite•s, and something around 80ppm of Ni•trAte•s then, in most cases, you will not be harming your fish, will be able to support good plant growth, and can reduce your water changes/gravel vac-ing to some extent.
Animal waste is not exactly formulated or balanced for plant growth, so it is possible to have a good supply of ni•trAte•s while still being deficient in other trace elements, especially if you only feed one type of food. So, some supplemental fertilizer may still be required. Additionally, whenever you trim your plants you will be indirectly removing ni•trAte•s that fueled the plant growth as well as some trace elements. It is not a closed system. In essence, you might replace some gravel vac-ing and end up trimming more.
Some people never gravel vac, ever, nor do they perform water changes. If the tank is mature and plant & animal life is balanced this could work while maintaining the health of the animals, but eventually one type of plant will predominate more than another, or holes will appear in the leaves, or ni•trAte•s will climb well over 100 and pH might drop a little, etc. There Will be Something that needs maintenance or adjustment, even if it is not often.
You could learn about Dutch and Walstad methods, deep substrate method, anoxic plenums, under gravel filters, sumps, refugiums, canister, hang-on-back, internal, sponge, moving bed filters, etc. Some of these are dedicated philosophies that need to be understood and followed in order to experience the touted benefits and maintain the welfare of the inhabitants. Some are merely tools that could be employed in numerous set-ups with various philosophies.
IMHO, well thought out, simple, low-tech approaches are most enjoyable and sustainable for most people.
Mostly people like to clean cause it feels good and it triggers there "i'm helping" system. The reality is, people are changing water too frequently, and gravel vaccing too often in planted tanks. I only gravel vac if the substrate was starting to compact, or I need to show it for a video. Honestly I clean sponge filters, and gravel vac infrequently. Many tanks go at least a year between sponge cleaning, and up to 2 or 3 years between gravel vaccing. For instance, Ladybird's tank hasn't been gravel vacced in probably 5 years. But I have fish that help get some of the mulm into filters to be removed and such.
I got all my rock from an old mine shaft (quarts) and the rest came from the creek behind my house...or out of fields.
They all look store bought and didn't cost me anything and no garbage to throw out
Nice
