I agree. When you do something just because you think people want to see it, it’s not as interesting. When you build something you are excited about trying, it’s a lot more enjoyable to watch
The 2,000g looks amazing, so nice to hear your passion for the humble tiger barb. I for one would quite happily watch video after video of preparations, decorating, stand builds, setups, chemistry, scaping, cycling, unbagging and chats, with the building changing around you as you work, so please record everything in this fantastic project, if it comes from the heart it will be great.
Small suggestion for the archers. Since you want to display their natural “archery”, I think Tanner from Sherpa could make an amazing Chinese water dragon/archer fish paludarium! Just say
Cory from aquarium co op, has a webcamp pointed at the tank with his big puffer. Something similar could be done with the 2000 gallon. And it is quite beautiful in its current state.
You always gotta love Joey for his videos, I can still remember when he had the arowana in the 2000 years ago and even when Frank entered the 2000 gallon. Ahhh the memories.
I love your DIY videos and I am constantly using them as reference materials and trying something different in my craft. I've recently started watching your fish videos and am starting to watch more. Keep on keepin on!
The reason we love watching your videos is because you do it from the heart and have passion for it. As long as you continue to follow your heart. We will all continue to follow you through this journey.
Have been a sub for a LONG time. Been around for a lot of the ups and downs. I wouldn't lie and say I've watched every single video since subscribing, but I have always loved the channel. I am excited for the move and content to come. The most entertaining thing on this channel for me is when Joey is genuinely excited, passionate, and motivated. Even if it's simple stuff like when you launched the shirts with the arowana wrapping around. You were noticeably excited. Makes for great content. As only 1 subscriber I say just keep doing what you want and what makes you excited. I'm here for it.
I respectfully disagree, it wasn't a mistake; It was really fun to watch and see the big tank over the years! And now the uaru have gotten so big :) ps. I recall you mentioned before that live cams aren't feasible because of internet, but would you be able to upload a longer footage of just watching this tank? Or of the arowana/rays? :)
Just want to add that if it wasn't for your aquarium build videos, I wouldn't have a self built acrylic aquarium right now. I personally loved those videos
You know what I loved, your series on the Neolamprologus similis office build. It was just really simple, went through the entire process of building the tank, stocking and how to adapt tanks to a functional space. Feel like it was a lot more personal. In fact it encouraged me to get into aquaria
maybe film a 1-2 hour timelapse kinda thing of the tank as a goodbye to it, so we can always watch that to remember it and the history it has with the channel
On a side note...And yet not one aquarium youtuber has mentioned the importance of a center brace on the top of a big tank. The other day I just about had a used 55 gal glass tank blow out in our livingroom because it was missing the center brace. It was bowed out in the center by over an 1 1/2"! Thank goodness the seals where good. 😄 Methinks more tank construction and buying info is needed on TH-cam... such as details on what to look for and avoid with regards to buying used aquariums.
You should research into my channel a bit more. I show how to make them, remove them, the different types, etc. I have shown countless builds over and over again. Then wrote a book on it all.
Man I’m super into the aquascape scene now to be honest. It would be amazing if you somehow invited aquascapists or brought in some of that aquascapist hobby into the project as well. Aquascaping for me ultimately revived my passion tremendously, maybe aquascaping truly represents what I was looking for in the hobby but didn’t realize it till now
Is my favorite Tank that you have. Tiger Barbs are my favorite fish ever! Is sad you can't take it too but you could always build another with all 4 sides showing in the middle of you new Gallery 😇😁 Congrats and Good luck with all you are doing! 😊
Joey the DIY builds is what brought me here I just stayed for the fish haha thank you for the awesome videos joey take care I'll still watch as long as I can :)and 30k likes? Idk lol haha
This is the best show and tell you did Joey hahaha because how you described your fishes behavior I can feel your calm and as you i'm just beside you as you want to introduce your passion and beautiful pets
The 2000 gallon tank evolved well. I like it as it is now. It's a perfect community tank. Enough different species while each has the recommended group size and all have space so it looks very natural. Personally I would try to represent one habitat. For Joey it should be centered around the Uaru.
hey Im not sure if I missed your intentions in another episode but you could totally covert the gallery into an extension of your house. You could even repurpose the 2000 gal into a bar/mancave of sorts
I like the south American community theme idea for the 2000, my fav theme as well. I'd love to know some good Asian oddball bottom dwellers that would be a good match in an archer fish set up, (equivalent to S.A.'s plecos and cories, etc). I'd also love to see you explain how to build communities. The layers and how to choose fish. You've touched on it before and others have done this but to really go in depth. This is one thing new fish keepers struggle with.
I have Green Tiger Barbs with Golden Barbs and Cherry Barbs, and they're all doing great! I love the Tiger Barbs too, because they're so active and entertaining! Anyway, it will be interesting to see the future of the 2000 gallon!
This tank is truly a work of art! I've been to commercial Aquariums, that don't have any tanks of this caliber! I'm actually glad you can't move it, lol! I think that you might be sad breaking it down. Thanks for all the updates, great stuff!❤👍
2,000 is all yours Joey. Do what you want and enjoy. I would think your own stingray habitat and a nice lounge chair to sit and enjoy. Make some relaxing time for yourself.
Joey I would love to watch a 15 minute video of just the 2000 gal tank. I am sure others would too. just a video we don't need narration. it could be labeled ASMR too.
Turn the fish gallery you have now into a room where you can edit your videos in peace or even use it as a room to be by yourself for a while and calm down. Or turn it into a office
I understand what you’re saying but this is the most interesting and amazing tank on TH-cam. I was with you before the gallery started and the way this is stocked now was what I would have done. I’ve always thought a giant tank filled with smaller fish would be awesome and I was right. BTW it always seemed to me one of the reasons your tanks are so successful was your access to good water. Surely your well is a great enabler. What source will be at the new gallery?
I really appreciate your channel, I been watching you for years.... My opinion on the 2000 gallon. The Asian arrowna and the stingrays should be in the 2000 gallon. Those are the fish that I want to stay behind. I think it would be cool if you kept them as your personal fish. Give them a name. Have a reason to go into the gallery. I have a lot of respect for you. You have inspired me in so many ways.. I currently have 800 gallons of water in my garage/man cave in fish tanks. I also started a motorcycle TH-cam channel thanks to you. I wish you all the success with your new journey. You are the KING, where not going anywhere. 💯✌
This titan is just phenomenon💜 you really don’t need to regret bout that 💜 we will always be your side whatever you do. Cuz its all bout the hobby and hobby is all bout your heart 💜 soo don’t regret and keep it as your near one💜
haters gonna hate but the OG's still gonna watch whatever you build man, we watch your vids because of your passion towards the hobby. Keep doing what you want, we are here to support you all the way
Will you have a dedicated space for temporary exhibitions?? Like for fish contests... or this year this section of the gallery is dedicated to different kinds of discus, the next year for angels, then all kinds of severums and keep with it!!! And so you can have permanent aquariums, and some that will be changing within a theme!! And that would make people go to your gallery every single year!!!
Can't wait to see how the new gallery turns out in 3 or 4 months, and yeah I've got loads of idea's of what fish or biotopes I'd love to see but for some reason I feel after 12 years of watching you, you may have this covered.
hey Joey, you should build an extension on top of the 2000 gallon tank, make it twice as tall, and with a deeper tank you'd get a better separation along the water column to show off the fish better. it's a great tank but a bit short.
You should make a old-school style diy "moving large fish room and huge aquarium collection" LoL have you made a diy moving large aquariums video? Most people break their tanks in moves!!
You should make the old gallery just a hang out area for your kids with a few couches and a hair hockey table or something and have the 2000 as the centerpiece That’s what I would do at least
Would definitely rather see you do what you want. Something you genuinely are excited about ultimately will be more entertaining. There's a certain enthusiasm that can't be faked.
For a person that lives contents away from you, the potential of me visiting Canada is 5% maybe, however I will be looking forward to see the new gallery and your creativity and passion. Go for it man, I know that we'll enjoy the journey with you
Such an awesome tank. I truly did not have the vision you had. I thought why put the archer fishes in there and waste a beautiful big tank. Then mix of all these fishes, made it so beautiful. Really an awesome tank. "phenomenal" You did so much for this hobby man. Thank you for that.
You should keep one take just for yourself man, with just your favorites. The 2,000 can't move. So, I vote to turn it back into an arowana/stingray tank that is just for you, but you can film it and show us also, we will not complain lol. Keep up the good work. Love the videos!
Did u see the Bulk reef supply boys latest video? Where they talk about u and how ur inspiring their future videos, makes me happy to see you tubers do these things 🥰🐶
I love the point you made about tank size and fish health. My opinion on what people say you can put in a tank and what you actually should, completely changed when I had Cory's in 100L changed too 300L and they were so much happier and healthier.
Build what you wanna build, man- we’ll still watch regardless. Especially if you’re passionate about it.
I couldn't of said it better. The fish are beautiful.
Word!
Exactly simple as that no more appeasing the viewers.
@@tjb92 I see ppl find their light when they do what they want instead trying to appease others!
I agree. When you do something just because you think people want to see it, it’s not as interesting. When you build something you are excited about trying, it’s a lot more enjoyable to watch

39k likes and he'll get in the 2000 "properly". Clearly that means dressed as Josepi wearing the mermaid suit.
Yes!!! This time with FULL make-up!
YASS!
Small suggestion for the archers. Since you want to display their natural “archery”, I think Tanner from Sherpa could make an amazing Chinese water dragon/archer fish paludarium! Just say
you could have little fake insects that you could wiggle around near the surface kinda like a cat toy
If you ever get bored of the South American theme, you might make it into a saltwater mangrove lagoon
that would be cool!!
the archerfish could even stay
That would be stunning 😍😍😍😍
Definitly
Who wants to see Joey in the lovely mermaid costume one last time?
Personally I’d like to see Joey out of the mermaid suit 😉
Cory from aquarium co op, has a webcamp pointed at the tank with his big puffer. Something similar could be done with the 2000 gallon. And it is quite beautiful in its current state.
If you can only have one tank at home, that’s the one to have.
You always gotta love Joey for his videos, I can still remember when he had the arowana in the 2000 years ago and even when Frank entered the 2000 gallon. Ahhh the memories.
I love your DIY videos and I am constantly using them as reference materials and trying something different in my craft. I've recently started watching your fish videos and am starting to watch more. Keep on keepin on!
It was not a mistake lol I love the big aquarium
The reason we love watching your videos is because you do it from the heart and have passion for it. As long as you continue to follow your heart. We will all continue to follow you through this journey.
You know whats best! I'll support you what you want to do, plus you being passionate is so lovely to watch
I love how much more genuinely excited and engaged you are right now. Do what brings you joy man!
Your opening of the public is gonna be on my list of to-do's. As an American, it's a perfect reason to visit Canada!
Yes, the 2000 gallon tank is mesmerizing. I love it! It's definitely my favorite!
I started watching right before the 2,000 was finished. I can’t wait to see the builds in the new gallery
I'm hoping you keep it stocked and running. Maybe something just for you. You deserve it.
Honestly the fish selection within that concrete tank is like a living work of art moving around.
Have been a sub for a LONG time. Been around for a lot of the ups and downs. I wouldn't lie and say I've watched every single video since subscribing, but I have always loved the channel.

The Severums look amazing! All of the fish look really good!
I respectfully disagree, it wasn't a mistake; It was really fun to watch and see the big tank over the years! And now the uaru have gotten so big :)

JOEY DON'T EVER STOP CREATING BAYBEEEEEEE
Miss seein TINY Tim..even thou we still see him he was unique before the grow up
maybe film a 1-2 hour timelapse kinda thing of the tank as a goodbye to it, so we can always watch that to remember it and the history it has with the channel
On a side note...And yet not one aquarium youtuber has mentioned the importance of a center brace on the top of a big tank. The other day I just about had a used 55 gal glass tank blow out in our livingroom because it was missing the center brace. It was bowed out in the center by over an 1 1/2"!
Thank goodness the seals where good. 😄
Methinks more tank construction and buying info is needed on TH-cam... such as details on what to look for and avoid with regards to buying used aquariums.
You should research into my channel a bit more. I show how to make them, remove them, the different types, etc. I have shown countless builds over and over again. Then wrote a book on it all.
I absolutely love the current stocking in the 2000. It's just awesome to see that big a community tank.
It always has been my favorite tank simply because of the possibilities. I have to say though, in this configuration it is stunning.
Name the gallery “Joey Exotic, the fish king of DIY”
Love the tank set up like this. Fish are gorgeous and thriving.
Hope we get to keep seeing this one regularly once you move
Please, please, please have a very large community tank at the new gallery. Love the 2,000 community!
I really like the extra videos
Man I’m super into the aquascape scene now to be honest. It would be amazing if you somehow invited aquascapists or brought in some of that aquascapist hobby into the project as well. Aquascaping for me ultimately revived my passion tremendously, maybe aquascaping truly represents what I was looking for in the hobby but didn’t realize it till now
you literally have to go swimming if you try to get the corydoras out.😂
Is my favorite Tank that you have. Tiger Barbs are my favorite fish ever! Is sad you can't take it too but you could always build another with all 4 sides showing in the middle of you new Gallery 😇😁 Congrats and Good luck with all you are doing! 😊
Joey the DIY builds is what brought me here I just stayed for the fish haha thank you for the awesome videos joey take care I'll still watch as long as I can :)and 30k likes? Idk lol haha
Obviously Joey needed to move the gallery so he could turn the 2K into a hot tub.
This is the best show and tell you did Joey hahaha because how you described your fishes behavior I can feel your calm and as you i'm just beside you as you want to introduce your passion and beautiful pets
The 2000 gallon tank evolved well. I like it as it is now. It's a perfect community tank. Enough different species while each has the recommended group size and all have space so it looks very natural.

Really love that tank! Funny that he fish keep following you around 😁
ooh, return of the Mermaid outfit!!! YAY 😋
hey Im not sure if I missed your intentions in another episode but you could totally covert the gallery into an extension of your house. You could even repurpose the 2000 gal into a bar/mancave of sorts
joey your doing what people love, you won't please every human , that's just life, just keep doing what you are doing .
The color on your Tiger Barbs is more vibrant than any i think I've ever seen. Almost as if they were taking coloring cues from the severums.
I think you should turn it into a Joey tank. Turn up the heat to 90 degrees and use it to relax. You can always change it back. Joey's HOT TUB 👍
I like the south American community theme idea for the 2000, my fav theme as well.
I'd love to know some good Asian oddball bottom dwellers that would be a good match in an archer fish set up, (equivalent to S.A.'s plecos and cories, etc).

Grab a snorkel and mask!!!!!! Thanks for all the great tips and build ideas....always fun to watch and even do some of them!!!
I have Green Tiger Barbs with Golden Barbs and Cherry Barbs, and they're all doing great! I love the Tiger Barbs too, because they're so active and entertaining!
Anyway, it will be interesting to see the future of the 2000 gallon!

2,000 is all yours Joey. Do what you want and enjoy. I would think your own stingray habitat and a nice lounge chair to sit and enjoy. Make some relaxing time for yourself.
i wish that this tank just stays the same after the move its so incredible
I absolutely love that huge tank. I hope they get a huge tank at your new place.
Love the big community!
Joey I would love to watch a 15 minute video of just the 2000 gal tank. I am sure others would too. just a video we don't need narration. it could be labeled ASMR too.
I'm glad you get to keep the 2k for you as your personal tank you more than earned a big tank to stock and scape as you wish
Turn the fish gallery you have now into a room where you can edit your videos in peace or even use it as a room to be by yourself for a while and calm down. Or turn it into a office

Would love a long video with submerged camera of the tank with nice music

What are you gonna do with the fish in the Pond, are you gonna keep em at home or are they go with all the other fish???????
🐟🐠🐡🐟🐠🐡🐟
Will you be building a lot of the stuff for the new location? Would love some old school DIY Joey vids!!
Some yup! I’m not building the same tank over and over again though. Materials cost too much right now and will take months before I see water
haters gonna hate but the OG's still gonna watch whatever you build man, we watch your vids because of your passion towards the hobby. Keep doing what you want, we are here to support you all the way
This is a beautiful tank amazing build. You have the ability to do whatever you want. Keep inspiring through your builds. Love your passion 👍.
Will you have a dedicated space for temporary exhibitions?? Like for fish contests... or this year this section of the gallery is dedicated to different kinds of discus, the next year for angels, then all kinds of severums and keep with it!!!
And so you can have permanent aquariums, and some that will be changing within a theme!! And that would make people go to your gallery every single year!!!

Ping pong or pool table, pinball machine, beer fridge and a bucket in the corner.... Mancave for daaaayys!
Lets get this video to 30k likes!!
I love tiger barbs so much
hey Joey, you should build an extension on top of the 2000 gallon tank, make it twice as tall, and with a deeper tank you'd get a better separation along the water column to show off the fish better. it's a great tank but a bit short.
We don’t care what you do, we love when you say “let me explain”, because we you love it so, so do we
You should make a old-school style diy "moving large fish room and huge aquarium collection" LoL have you made a diy moving large aquariums video? Most people break their tanks in moves!!
I have, yes! I’ll be doing it again 😂
@@thekingofdiy it's a EXTREMELY helpful topic I saw a Friend break his 300!!! Gallon not properly moving such a big tank!!
I think the videos is getting better and better. We can feel your energi know. Havent seen this energi since you biuld the first galleri 👊
Beautiful angelfish.
Best aquarium in the gallery, not a mistake. Your current stocking is awesome. What happens to the original gallery?
You should set up a live camera live steam to the big tank, so that you have a solid drip revenue stream and we have an amazing background. LOL
You should make the old gallery just a hang out area for your kids with a few couches and a hair hockey table or something and have the 2000 as the centerpiece
That’s what I would do at least
Would definitely rather see you do what you want. Something you genuinely are excited about ultimately will be more entertaining. There's a certain enthusiasm that can't be faked.

I love that tank. Is so cool. Will be interesting to see what you end up doing with it. Can't wait to see 😍 🙌
Love the big built tank and the beautiful fish. If ever I can move and do the same I would. 👍👍
Such an awesome tank. I truly did not have the vision you had. I thought why put the archer fishes in there and waste a beautiful big tank. Then mix of all these fishes, made it so beautiful. Really an awesome tank. "phenomenal"
You did so much for this hobby man. Thank you for that.
You should keep one take just for yourself man, with just your favorites. The 2,000 can't move. So, I vote to turn it back into an arowana/stingray tank that is just for you, but you can film it and show us also, we will not complain lol. Keep up the good work. Love the videos!
also ideal to be made as swimming pool where you and Tamara can do skinny dip.. lolz
yes discuss!!!!!! sounth american tank sounds awesome!
I love hearing your admiration for the fish!
I think we all want to see discuss in 2000 aquarium😉Please make that wish happen!
Did u see the Bulk reef supply boys latest video? Where they talk about u and how ur inspiring their future videos, makes me happy to see you tubers do these things 🥰🐶
Really ramming the "permanent installations and new gallery" down our throats every video. Keep up the good work Joey!
I love the point you made about tank size and fish health. My opinion on what people say you can put in a tank and what you actually should, completely changed when I had Cory's in 100L changed too 300L and they were so much happier and healthier.
Can you set a high definition camera for 24*7 for this tank and share online. That would be fun.. 💡💡💡
I kinda miss timmy nogrow😢 but its still really nice that they r doing so good in that tank and that they got so big
The way the 2000 is now is definitely my favorite! Mermaid 👍🏻
30k likes! Easy for ur videos mr JoeJoe 🐶🥰
Joey, make a an indoor hot tub to relax after long day since you already have it permanent build, some nice couches and TV.
So a 5 times larger gallery means a 5 times larger 2000g build right ? 😉 love this tank joey . its a masterpiece .
Love how you're bringing something interesting to the maritimes!
the huge tank looks amazing. planing on having a similar super big tank in the new place?
