Before leaving for vacation, Cory decided to set up his new Custom Aquariums tank. His plan is to grow pearlweed ( www.aquariumcoop.com/products... ) and add CO2 injection to get the leaves to pearl and form bubbles. In the meanwhile, he's gotten some goldfish to help mow down the duckweed infestation in the fish room. Plus, he shows off some upcoming product releases, like the Easy Plant LED and Aquarium Co-Op air pump 2.0.

Cory you're smile is looking great!!
Awesome video as always 👌🏻
These are the videos I enjoy most- the slower, relaxed paced just hanging out in the fish room. I rewatch the old daily dose videos frequently which I feel they’re a type of vlog style you don’t see too often anymore.
Agree 💯
Absolutely
Same here
Absolutely
Perfectly said
I love this type of content. The other videos are great and everyone likes a top ten video, but there are so many of them out there. Watching the work happen in the fish room, you get to see and learn things as they happen. You really see that time is important and things don’t happen overnight. You also get to see the imperfections and mishaps (cut thumb), which ultimately inspire me more because it shows that what I am doing and those imperfections that I have are not failures and they even happen to the pros so to speak. I really like the direction this is going and look forward to seeing more like this.
Agreed
Well said.
Lol!… crap!! I just said the same thing then saw YOUR comment. I suppose I’m in good company. 😊
I appreciate the 'failed' hack. Seeing what doesn't work is often more important than seeing what does.
These kind of videos with Cory, giving tips, diys, doing maintenance, testing products and theories; these are my favorite.
It’s kind of like the livestream where You can do work in your tanks while also listening/watching.
I like the other special topic videos too, I still watch them, but I definitely think these kind of videos are what keep people like me, who aren’t beginners, coming back to the channel.
Loved it! Appreciate you’re willingness to be real (as you always do) with us. Too often social media is polished so much real life seems inferior.. -keeping it real at Aquarium Co-Op!
This is EXACTLY the content I enjoy watching. This is real life tank stuff....not enough of this kind of content around. More of this stuff please!!!!
Hi, I really enjoy the videos of the day to day activities & upkeep of your fish room. It’s always a bonus if Dean is over helping out, the both of you are entertaining. It keeps us occupied during the long cold Canadian winter. Thanks for the videos.
I really enjoy the low key, hanging out videos of people working in their fish rooms. I see what other fish keepers are doing and apply it to mine
These are my favorite kind of vids from the creators I follow. Talk about the knowledge your brain finds interesting/exciting/beneficial and opine all over it. I’m here for it. “Won’t even clean up my mess today” I felt that statement in my soul lol
Agreed
YEA!!! I felt that statement too! 🙌 The realism is what I like best because we all know having a fish tank isn't a perfect process. It's a pain-staking heart wrenching and fun learning process. I want to see the lows and the highs!
Definitely my favorite kind of content! I’m kind of over the “Perfect Fish for Ten Gallon” or “Top Ten” videos that everyone demands lol. It’s been done over and over. These vlog style are much better and remind me of “old TH-cam”? If that makes sense? Anyways, not to sound cheesy but if you do what YOU enjoy, I think it shows in the video and makes the content better no matter the type. Great video Cory! Thank you for sharing.
This! Couldn’t agree more.
I definitely prefer this kind of video--where you show things, talk through what you're doing/why, etc. and hear you nerd out over fish. Top 10 stuff isn't my thing.
Please continue with the real fish keeping!
My husband is new to aquariums, so these videos are something he loves because he understands what I do when I have set up a tank.
Super excited about air pumps. I live in Florida, so those would be awesome for hurricane outages
The only thing better than this video is a video with you and Dean doing this stuff together!
I love watching you hang out and do "real aquariums"!
This is exactly the content I like. Showing CO2 methods, planting techniques, fertilizing techniques and reasons you are doing so. That is to only name a few things. This channel is the main channel I look to when having issues or needing to know why I am doing something a certain way. I appreciate all your time and dedication to this channel, it really has been a huge help and inspired me to get my whole family involved in all 20 of our tanks. Thank you Cory and crew!!!
This is exactly the content that I want to see. It's much more fun to watch you mess around in the fish room than doing something that everyone else is doing. Plus it keeps you in the fishroom which I think is important to the longevity of the channel. Cheers and thanks for the videos!
G'day Coopy. I hope you are starting to enjoy your fish room while vlogging. I missed this format. It's how I started watching you. You and Lamont live streaming.
Thanks for hanging in there.💚
Yes! More Cory in the fishroom! Add some Dean frosting and it would be perfect. It's helpful to see the process, thank you!
I do prefer this kind of real fish keeping video. No polish and fluff, just real. Keep em coming. Thanks
Great video, do more like these. Actually working on your tanks and what works for you. Fantastic info !
Cory, I personally want to watch any content that you enjoy making. I haven't seen a video of Aquarium Coop's that I didn't enjoy. Thank you so much for sharing your fishroom with us!
I'm sure a "Top 10" style video gets more views but these types teach something so much deeper. It fits with your philosophy of helping people have the most success with their hobby
I have always enjoyed your more conversational videos, the little tidbits that you share are the best part. This is what I love about the fish unboxing too. It's not seeing the fish, it's what they go with, what to be aware of etc.
The casual feel of this video is what I enjoy. There’s a “real” feel to it. Keep up the great work!
This is the exact content I started watching for. Back in the old fish room.
Since you asked, YES. I think it is really important for larger channels, regardless if they are vendors or not, to show the reality of fish keeping. Crystal clear aquascapes are inspirational to see but the "gee, can I do a thing?" videos are superior teaching tools. I learn from them. Occasionally I pump the brakes before embarrassing myself. Occasionally, validation that what I think will work, was right. Carry on!
"Day in the fishroom" or "fishroom project" videos are the best! The other videos (top 10s and the like) are still good, but fishroom videos keep my attention more. That's how I originally found your videos many moons ago. Back in the cinder block and 2x6 days.
Yeah, I think you're on to something here Cory, All the info is informative, sure it's a lot to take in at one time but as a NEW fish owner or existing one info is crucial to ones benefit in making sure you have crossed every T when it comes to setting up aquarium tank. Remember we all can come back and gleam for your input, and info. at any time...Thanks, Cory, Well done faithful servant.
23:27 I LOVE your EXTRA! "I KNOW THE VIDEO ENDED; BUT IT'S BACK!" 😆 Awesome!
Your mistakes help to TEACH & I am hear to LEARN.
Love this content! Looking forward to watching the new tank progress.
19:32 Yes, I like you showing us what REALLY happens during the "process" NOT always the PERFECT tanks. When I see perfect tanks and parameters all the time it makes me feel like a bad fish momma. Realism is best. The good, the bad, the ugly and the boo-boo cuts too! Teaches us to beware that things may be sharper than they appear.
THANK YOU!
Oldschool Cory, this is what I missed!
These are the kind of videos that I like. It’s always interesting to see people working in their fish rooms. To see how they set things up, do maintenance, and various shortcuts and money saving tips that they’ve learned. A person can only watch so many top 10’s, unboxings, and product reviews and stay interested.
I like the hacks. Back in the 80s we used pvc for everything in the aquarium. Pvc became filter extensions, caves, decoration, water input, etc. I could get some off cut it into pieces and seal them together for clown loaches. The project would be only a few bucks. I guess I am a younger diy dean.
Please don't change what you are doing for TH-cam ... this video represents the content that I enjoy the most from you. No top 5 or top 10s are necessary unless it's something you thing would be useful and WANT to do. Thanks for the great content!
I love this style of video. Like you said, it is hanging out in the fish room with you. No high pressure I hope, because to me it is relaxing and informative at the same time. Reality and I learned stuff. It doesn't matter how old we are. We should keep learning. I have been keeping fish for a long time and don't consider myself an expert. A long journey with lots of turns and detours keeps things fresh and exciting. It isn't the destination it is the journey. Every new leaf on a plant, every melting leaf, even feeding is part of the journey. I have left frozen food out on accident too. Not to the same scale because I have little fish, but I felt the same way. Like you, the money I spent on it was not as big a deal to me as me wasting food. I am looking forward to the new air pumps. I was getting ready for the same Christmas storm you had down in town last week. I went through some old fish stuff and found an old battery powered air pump I got years ago and never used. It takes 4 C batteries haha. Who has C batteries any more? Still it was somewhat of a relief to have it. Lucky I didn't need to use it for this storm. I hope I don't have to before I can get some of yours. I have some of your heat packs already so I don't have to go through so many hand heaters under the blankets. I need those hand heaters for shoveling snow 😄 Hope you had a great vacation. You guys deserve to have fun. You give us so much of yourselves and I for one appreciate all you do for us fish nerds. You, your wife and your crew have made my fish-keeping more successful and more fun!
I love the Top Tens…they’re like the Cliff Notes-version of this hobby: videos to watch, take notes on & make lists from. Videos in THIS format show the process, though. The time-factor, the $$, the work, the patience (& I’m glad you showed the blood & mistake: I’m not the only one, nice to know).
The Top Tens will always be out there, & I love them. But I really like these too. It tempers the impulsivity in the hobby, is a nice reality-check.
I love this type of video. It was a pleasure hanging out. I like the way you think and I like the way you care.
YES! NERD OUT WITH ME! I'm the fish and reptile at my local small business pet store and I am a hobbyist myself, I've been watching your videos for years now and always enjoy learning from you guys. Give me all the nerd, plant, bacteria, poop, care guide etc videos ya got
Hang out fish room videos are some of my favorites.
I continue to thoroughly enjoy the fun-tasic content provided by you folks. As I find it to be hands-on, non-sterile, and most importantly informative.
Feel free to keep the real in the discussion and viewing content.
This was a good video. I appreciate the education portion, the product info, and the "silliness". I am an old fish keeper that left the hobby for a number of years and getting back into it. Your videos are helping get me reoriented in the hobby. Thank you for all you do!
These fish room videos are by far my favorite, Cory 👍 I love learning the random little tips and tricks, and watching you try new things. I enjoy being a part of it all (and I don’t even keep fish!)
I enjoy the slower hang out videos. I like the fast-paced information videos as well. But I like to see how other people do the hobby, and it helps a lot.
Yes! Best videos you have. Cory, a camera, in the fishroom! and sometimes Dean! 🤟
lol as soon as Cory started bringing out the lights and pushing the clams to the side, I was getting nervous like “I hope he doesn’t forget to put the clams away!” 😂
I thought the same thing.
Another quick note: The TOP 10's show me the pain staking work that was taken to get it to that perfect TOP 10; it shows me THE END RESULT & HOW MUCH DID I LEARN? Nothing usually. I like to see others struggling, learning and teaching me how to, why to, what to, when to do the things our fish and tanks need to be survivable!!! That's the key survival, not perfection.
You remind me so much of my college friends husband. He recently passed away from a short battle with cancer. He was a wonderful man. 💯🙏🙌
I still can't believe the quality of education that you provide for free here on TH-cam... so invaluable! I definitely watch and enjoy these kinds of videos as well as troubleshooting or "little bit of everything" videos where you talk through the status of multiple tanks. Thank you very much for what you do! My favorite part... "see that bubble riiiiiight there?" :-D
sorry it cost $30 in clams
These are the videos I actually watch!! The “top 10 fish for a 10 gallon tank!!” fry my brain and I tone out after 2 minutes!!
These are definitely the kind of videos I love watching from Aquarium Co-op!!
Totally loving this content, Cory. I am coming back to fishkeeping after many years away and so much has changed since 30 years ago!! I am focusing on planted tanks and learn so much from AC videos. THANK YOU!!
24:33 I love the hanging out style of video. Keep these coming.
My favorite videos are the ones where we feel like were there with you just hanging out and talking fishtanks and doing projects etc. Not the highly edited professional videos. Loved this video style alot! Keep on tankin ❤
New COOP video on a Saturday? Hell yea! 🎉
I love these type of videos, but, I think it's super important that you like making them as well. You cut your thumb, got distracted, wasted clams, clouded your water, used a crazy big wrench; I think we can all relate, lol Not sure your TH-cam advisor will love this video, but I think it was awesome. Hoping you and wifey are having a wonderful vacation, and you come back refreshed. May you and your family have a lovely holiday. Be well
TH-cam partner manager would say just make shorts, it’s all TH-cam cares about currently.
Doing these real aquarium videos is awesome cory. Keep it up. It's nice seeing these real videos! For me personally, maintaining the aquairum is my favorite part so I could watch you work on your tanks all day LOL
OMG...Elmer and the wafer....🥰🥰🥰 That was a great shot!
Really enjoy the video demonstrating practical tips in action rather than just talking about them. I'm definitely more of a visual learner so these videos are right up my alley.
Long time viewer and subscriber and I love the simplicity approach to aquatics and seeing the work that goes into it. So many people view aquariums as a chore when I try to talk to them about it. I've bought plants, hats, stickers, and more from you guys purely because of the great content and quality of the products.
I would love to see some Dean breeding tutorial videos where we follow along with him to learn and demonstrate the "proof in the pudding" of breeding various species. I feel like we talk a lot about plants, water cycling, and water management/balance. We don't often talk about species breeding in depth or plant propagation in depth. It would be fun to me (and I'm sure others) to learn more about. Maybe a video about creating equilibrium in your tank for less water changes or needed products. Much love to you and the co-op family. Tickle Murphy's belly for me!
This is exactly the kind of video I'd love to see more of. I never watch Top 10 videos. And I love that the title wasn't click bait.
This is the content I'm here for Cory. This is why I love being a member.
This is the content I want to see! Real aquariums, real people, fun.
Yes, this is exactly the type of video I want to see. Just chill out and get a little inspiration.
I really enjoy this video of Cory working in the fish room. More than any top ten videos
You can add my Yes!! to the rest. Love this style. Informative, but real life and relaxed.
Yes, more of this!!!!!! This is real life. It can be frustrating to see videos where it's all perfect and then you try it and end up spilling tank water everywhere. Lol. This was an awesome video. My favorite kind! Thanks for aharing
I definitely enjoy these types of videos you put out the most feels more behind the scenes and normal life of the fish room and when you seem the most happy and enthused with enjoying your hobby .
Loving the day to day maintenance vibe you've got in this video.
Yes, more of this kind of videos. Minus the clams taking a tour around the shop after feeding Lady Bird. lol
Hey Cory, I wanna say that these are my FAVORITE types of videos. Keep up the good content! This gives you a more like real perspective of how the hobby happens.
I love this style brings me back to seven years ago when I found Cory on TH-cam and he got me into the hobby again
Keep it up. This is the real hobby
Just reinforcing that this type of video is great! Real talk, real work in the fishroom, I love it all! I appreciate you and all the work and effort you put in!
YAAZZZZ! Another working in the fish room chitty chat video. Nerding out on duckweed and fish poop, lol.
Dean cracks me up...one taco later...
Merry Christmas Cory and Katie. Love ya'll.
👍💖👍
Yes, more of this type of content !
Keep going in this direction being real helps us know how to enjoy our hobby and it doesn’t need to be perfect.
said it multipal times and i am saying it again... i love the videos with just u in your fishroom. Nerding out, Teaching, Thinking, Planing ... love it all
Thoroughly enjoyed with coffee this morning
I love watching you in the fish room. I feel like I get so many more little details that way.
I do like the more casual blog style to see how a hobbyist manages his tanks. And how a shopowner manages his brand. I would hope you do a mix of both videos styles. Guides and informative post is really great to get ideas of aquariums. Girltalksfish, I love how she cares about how her tanks look but isnt a competitive aquascaper and shows how an average person can make a good happy ecosystem for display and isn't as experienced and gets to point out tips that helped her that arent obvious or her struggles.
Zomg! I couldn’t take my eyes off thaf bag of frozen clams as it moved around the table with you. 😬
Thank you for being so focused on showing us cool stuff that you accidentally made ultimate clam sacrifice in its name! 😢💗
I personally don't think I've purposely watched any top 10 list, except for the Letterman show... I'm a much bigger fan of y'alls style of providing great information...! Thanks for another GREAT one...! Keep it up...!
Dude you could do videos like this only and I’d be glued. This and livestreams and you have a very happy Manny. #respect
Yes! More like this would be nice. The highly produced videos are always good and top tens always get the views. But it is nice to just hang out. You get to relax and just be yourself and we get to get to know you a bit more. 🙂
Yes, this is the kind of video I want to see ! Thanks, Cory!! 19:49
Love the video. Cruising around your room pointing stuff out is a great way for beginners like me to be exposed to new dynamics of the hobby. This style of video seems like a better way to start conversations.
Please continue with this type of content! I enjoy all of your videos, but I especially enjoy hanging out and learning proper "nerd" content...
Been casually watching your channel for a while, and happy to report you are now the closest aquarium store to our new residence! Super excited to stop in!
More like this, please :) "A day in the life" videos are the best.
Yes, this is the content I like, and yes I saw you move the clams when showing the lights and thought "if that was me I'd probably forget those clams there". That said, a few years ago when I was newer in the hobby, I watched a lot of "top 10 something" videos.
Hey Cory, this is exactly the type of Video I like to watch 👍.
Greetings from Germany
Martin
I enjoyed this video. I was starting to get stressed about my tanks from listening to everyone talk about how we should be doing things. I cut down on watching videos and just letting my tanks do their thing. Have always kept tanks and never fussed much about them. I’ve gone back to that and I’m enjoying them more now!
Good stuff Cory, With what people are saying it's all relevance and in terms of their execution of a project. I can't thank you for all the great tips you've provided us. for efficiency and a better life for fish. Love from NZ from a Gourami and Guppy crew.
The hangout videos and deen videos are my favorite. Love the balance this channel offers. I don't own a business but I also enjoy those videos. Anytime I can learn something new I am down to listen.
Cory, I think it's great that you're willing to give honest critiques of yourself, your businesses, the hobby and the FishTuber community. That is why I will listen to your 2-hour plus live-streams and essentially none others in the hobby lately. The world can easily survive without yet another Top 5 Aquarium Hacks video. Safe travels.
Been around a while, and I have always appreciated the shared attempts of experiments or ideas.
The hopes for them and unexpected results at times are what roped me in back then, and the goals or concepts you share in between are a good listen while brainstorming or working on projects.
I hope to see and hear more from you, be it a video like this or the livestreams.
Merry Christmas.
This is my fave. You (& sometimes Dean) in the fishroom doing all the REAL things. This & the livestreams! MORE OF THIS PLEASE!! ♡
