Troy, All I have to say is wow. That looks so good great job and that top looks fantastic. As a carpenter in my spare time. Get yourself some old English to polish the top and the sides. The old English will help keep the moisture in the wood and it will help with water stains etc. that stuff is amazing and with a soft rag a little goes a long way. We use that on all our real wood furniture in our master bedroom. It also helps with dust. Man I wish I was in the area and come over for a drink and admire the tanks. I also have chairs in front of all my big tanks so I can admire the fish as well. I am really enjoying my new MBUNA tank. The fish are so active and them going in and out of the caves is so cool to watch.
Hey bro, on your Cichlid Bros bar sign if you take the cord and go just underneath of it to the left to the corner there with a pole and go down the corner down to the bottom it will hide the wire much better👌🏼 I know from watching you how much of a perfectionist you are. Love how your basement turning out definitely a dream basement. I’m an Indy love watching ya bros. Put Quinn to work next time, I mean you moved his whole classroom😂
It looks fantastic, Troy! Not that your basement needed more awesome added to it, but it's the perfect addition. The chess board is a lowkey great detail that adds that extra little class.
Never knew this was happening in the meantime during your plywood aquarium. Sneaky! This all came together really nicely. I love the walnut wood. Nice use of the space! Loved the process behind all this. Thanks Bros.!
Well, I'd love to have a beer down there. It really looks way cooler than I thought it would at the beginning of the video--the live oak bar top sure helps there! I have a similar idea for a Tiki lounge themed bar area with lots of jungle style planted tanks--now I'm even more inspired so thanks CB!
That whole area looks amazing! So glad you didn't try to save money on the bar top, that really looks incredible and really helps set the vibe. Btw you know you can never move home now right? 😂
Very nice! I'm on my way from the old country... Stock up on the Jameson whiskey and top shelf tequila. I plan on a three day drinking session. If you're not in I shall start without you. 😂
So Like It!!Great addition to your fish room !! The bar really dresses it up!! BTW I save shot glasses(places I&others have travelled,visited,etc). They in a curio cabinet..Maybe could get one of yours! LMK
That looks amazing you’s done a great job building that bar the the fish room basement is coming along amazing can’t wait for the next video to come out
Hey could I get a recommendation for my 90 gallon cichlid tank. Lots of bio load to keep up with and always on the white sand. And suggestions to help with this?
Jeez Troy, I'm late twice. Can you believe we got hit twice by the copper wire thieves! My God your home's basement is wonderful! You guys got great taste. It was nice to see your wife in the shots. Love the black walnut. A+ Coach what a second talent. Hugs to Rambo. Peace.
Can’t wait for the stingray to be moved but not because of the Ray I want to see whatever fish that is “more aggressive” than the black nasty go in the 180 I’m hoping for a jag or dovii tank (though 180 is the minimum for a dovii)
What a great way to tastefully utilise that space, I especially love the live edge on the black walnut top I've always been a sucker for the texture of a real character wooden furniture, that type that entices you to reach out and touch the warmth of it. (far better than el cheap chip board or Formica) You have a excellent spot to forget the world's woes down their, let's hope it gives you more inspiration for future video's.

@@CichlidBros I would hope so, the whole Fishroom would be your Fort Knox with the amount you have invested in it! I have only been into tropical fish for 10 months now and as we all do.. Yup 1 tank in my bedroom is all I want 🤔 (5 foot) oh my pet shop II use now has a freebie 5 footer as well (tank no 2 in my bedroom). 🤔 Blue Acaras just had a hatching of at least 60 in the 560 litre community tank (now 8mm long) I really need to put them all in another tank A 3 foot, and stand 150$ found on marketplace 850 metres from my place in a small rural town, which I am setting up as we speak yet in my bedroom , Also a 38 litre quarantine tank. That's it no more tanks, yeah sure! At least I have a 6.6kw solar system on the roof to help pay for all the electricity! Yes by the time you get them stocked scaped, pumps and filters and lights, then you have to feed the fish, a never ending joy, I don't think I could be without them now they are so full of unique characters to watch grow and enjoy life.

This is totally awesome! Your basement looks amazing! Thanks for sharing the journey. I've been watching y'all's channel for a few years now. Can I pick your brain real quick? Which powebank battery do you like better? The Jackery or the daranener neo2000?
Awesome job , I love it but one thing is that’s not a fuse box lol. It’s an electrical panel or breaker box , there is no fuses in there. I love how close you are with your brothers, just like my boys. Your mom and dad raised wonderful sons. Keep up the hard work.
It is hard to tell from the footage, but was the upright removed from the doorway load bearing? You are right about their construction. It does look pretty weird.
ah yes, my two hobbies: drinking and enclosed ecosystems. ngl im working on a swim pond and i cant wait to add a bar to it. also, as someone who played GM melik khachiyan, 1) c4
Hey Chiclid Bros, who would you suggest to get driftwood and stones from? I have had an order placed for over a week, and I just found out they do not have what I ordered in stock. I just need a suggestion to a reputable company. Thank you!
Not going to lie, I didn't expect it to look anywhere near as awesome as it does. Well done!
Thank you!

It's great! Looks beautiful! Need a TV for sporting events, TH-cam, Finding Nemo and little mermaid movies! 😂😂😂 and of course, Super Bowl LIX 🏈
It looks fantastic, Troy! Not that your basement needed more awesome added to it, but it's the perfect addition. The chess board is a lowkey great detail that adds that extra little class.
Thanks Doug! I appreciate it. Very excited to have it finished!
Beautiful price on a beautiful bar. Seems like your friend may have given a discount on that bar top. It's gorgeous ❤
Thanks! Yeah he didn’t charge for putting it together, just the material. Great guy

Beautiful and a wonderful place to view your tanks. ❤
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hell yeah brother! Glad to finally see this, especially having had the ability to see it a few months ago! Love what yall are doing!!
Thanks Mike! Excited to finally show it!
This looks great man! You could have people come to your house and charge $20 plus a drink just to come to the cichlid bro experience.
Perfect addition to the basement. Fun seeing how you are making it your own.
Thanks so much! It's been a fun project.

Thanks for watching!
Awesome bar area!! You need to sell Cichlid Bros pint glasses. I collect them and I liked yours. All the best for the future
Just added it to our merch! Here’s the link! cichlid-bros.creator-spring.com/listing/cichlid-bros-merch-2-0?product=1386

Can I pick your brain real quick? Which powebank battery do you like better? The Jackery or the daranener neo2000?

I’m predicting podcast coming soon from Cichlids’s Bros….

Looks great do you have a link to that shrimp tank?
Here ya go! amzn.to/4aw1TgL
@@CichlidBros thank you!
I want to party with this dude
I Like the *BAR* part..
Nice.
Everything looks great. Have you thought about doing anything to your windows in the basement?
What is your drink of choice? Myself, I’m a bourbon guy. Weller full proof being my favorite.
It is hard to tell from the footage, but was the upright removed from the doorway load bearing? You are right about their construction. It does look pretty weird.
Let me know if you need more artwork! I can even do some custom original art if you want!
Awesome, thanks man! You do some great work!
Una chimba bro 🔥
I thought it was goin to be a fish tank for the Bar that would have really popped in that room Still looks nice

Show off that supply shelf full of goodies
🔥💪🏾
I have a questions with what species of tetra besides congos can electric blue acara be and not eat them
I would want as meny options as someone can name
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Great idea. Just pre-commit to never, ever doing any maintenance whatsoever after having a drink. It doesn't end well.
First!
MEGA disappointed this isn’t a video of an actual aquarium bar. Just a bar next to some aquariums.
I’ll get some mega clickbait for ya in the next one 🫡
@ 😂excellent. I can’t wait
i got fished .. " i built a bar AND an aquarium" not an aquarium bar
What are you even talking about? You can literally see it in the thumbnail. Watch something else if you didnt enjoy the video
Well done!! I love it and so proud of your hard work!
