Wanna see the new tank I got from Custom Aquariums? Huge Aquarium Ready For Fish!! Custom Aquarium Set Up And Start Up! ua-cam.com/video/9Yr9DNIub6Q/v-deo.html
its not actually that common to encounter a company whose employees are so happy that they are able to be genuinely nice and pleasant to others, each other, customers. Great to hear that.
This video is just amazing. I’m in awe. Thank you for supporting this company and showing us this video. Many thanks to this company and it’s amazing employees 💕🤩👍🌟
Its expensive because it is s company that is trying to prosper. I am totally that guy that buys the dollar per gallon sales but i think the idea for these tanks is trying to set a bar.
@@waffler69 they're high end tanks for sure. But to imply that the thing that's stopping people from buying is the ordering process is a little ridiculous. I love KGT but he should think of a new way to pitch this company
@@waffler69 High end tanks? They waste a lot of silicone. The silicone is a big mess. In Europe you can buy a tank from higher quality for less than half the price.
You’ve definitely been affiliated with custom aquariums for awhile lol and I’ve been here watching you grow before then, the quality of your videos and dedication to the hobby has blossomed into something awesome and “that’s a beautiful thing” 😉
I’ve been waiting for this one too! How it’s made is still on my top 10 fav shows. Anyways it’s good to see an American company thriving and providing meaningful employment and products. I’ll strongly consider reaching out to you for my next tank.
I don't build aquariums but I apply gallons of sealants. The bonding silicone wastage can be minimized by profiling the tip of the tube and forcing the sealant to preform. On a project that involved stone assembled in the same manner we saved hundreds in materials but did not increase labor hours. This could save tens thousands a year for them.
Awsome place my job is a glass processing I work on glass furnace them cutting tables bottero are great they have air floating glass on it for easy moving and breaking out thanks for Video 👍👍👍
Wow this looks amazing I was astonished of how they made these huge tanks I was always wondering how these large tanks are made and also how the ones that has other shapes than the rectangular one that we know are made, but now I know. I used to create my aquarium tanks from scratch from cutting the glass to gluing them and creating the cover all by myself but those were medium sized and small ones, never dared to try a large one honestly. So thank you a lot for showing us how it's made, appreciate it a lot. Greetings from Egypt
I didn't expect to see the actual construction being done by hand. I thought for sure they would have some really complicated machinery to put them all together perfectly in very little time.
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing the tour. Those angled pieces of lumber on the top are brilliant. I've seen shippers do damage to so many things, even if labeled to not stack anything on top. A 2x4 piece of lumber is CHEAP insurance that your product gets shipped properly.
Hi! I Just wanted to say thank you for making these videos, you've helped me alot during my new journey of keeping fish, I'm currently cycling my tank for South American Cichlid and I couldn't of done it without your channel dude.
Great video. Thanks for doing this. Really fascinating seeing the step by step processes. Almost as fascinating as wondering how the heck anyone could give this a thumbs down. Dummies!
I worked at a sliding door factory for a while and they had racks of glass lined up for a load of doors... unfortunately whoever built the load didn't balance the sizes well so there was a lot of very large doors on the load and when the glass layer moved a piece the cart got back heavy and tipped, broke probably 6-8 pieces of glass and everyone in the shop heard it. no fault to her but man it was a mess, thankfully she didn't get hurt. just thought of it when you were talking about the broken panel.
I love video like this !! It’s like watching how it’s made on science channel.. I know how they do it with acrylic from the show atm but never seen it in glass awesome man
My dream tank is a 8 or 10 foot 300-500 gallons for my large haps if I ever get the space and a basement fish room this is where I am going to go for it. Thanks for the tour John
Dream tank.. someday it "Will" happen. Did you happen to see the aluminum stands they offer? Not as fancy as the wood stands, but nice enough to display ones tank.
when we made the pizza displays, we had a clear 32nd or 16th spacer, some never got glued others wanted one-piece displays but the rubber spacers were mandatory for glass above 4ft in public spaces, that was untempered.
Great video! What a difference quality makes. A challenge for you: Try dropping the word “actually”. My Dad did this with me when I was school age. As a result, I’m still a grammar nerd at age 68😎
I was a glazier for 13 years, I have been wanting to build my own custom 3/4 sapphire glass 500-gallon aquarium, glass alone would run me 1k completed (that's cut, drilled and tempered) then I have to find a way to build a frame so she can stand as an island.
I was expecting more of a "jig" than what they were doing to ensure everything is square. And they used hand operate device to get the silicon out. I also would think they would use a battery operated one to make sure there is an even thickness. But if it works, interesting.
Great video, however, you didn't explain what to look for in an aquarium. You didn't explain the different kinds of joints manufacturers use. Glass vs. acrylic? What are the key things to look for when purchasing a quality aquarium?
I would bet there are MANY potential customers who don't care about a back glass,ends or bottom glass...just the largest front viewing glass on a giant aquarium. My point being...lets say a 10' long x 4' tall glass ( or acrylic) attached to a heavy duty plastic or fiberglass tank..with the appropriate bracing.. IF,that slashed the price of a custom tank..and of course durable enough for a lifetime as all giant tanks need to be. Just wondering if that was possible?
Hi sorry to ask but could you maby when you talk inches gallons and that stuff maby put som cm and liters ,,,its so enoying to skip video and go out google messerments,,,btw very good videos i love them ,it helpt me start being a fish keeper :)
The tanks seem really nice and well built, but the prices are just unreasonable. A tank matching the dimensions of a simple 20g long from aqueon could easily cost over $600 from them. They are probably worth it for very large tanks, or tanks of non-stand dimensions, and if you have a ton of money to spend on a tank (which i would imagine most people dont have $600 to spend on a 20 gallon tank, not that their bigger tanks are any better though, with a 220ish coming out to around $3,000 using the tank builder on their website, and this is ONLY for the tank with non tempered glass, no stand, no canopy, no lids or anything, JUST the tank itself.), but other than that it just is not worth the price.
Grate show but I don't like black silicone, 😕 my 200 litre came with black silicone and it leaked so I had it rebuild and it came back with clear silicone a much nicer job if you ask me
I really want to get something set up like big rich and all them at Ohio fish rescue I love all my water buddies but my passion is the oddball giants and I’d love to get all kinds of the big name players in on some buildings in each state so homes can be available for unwanted fish

Sure thing
its not actually that common to encounter a company whose employees are so happy that they are able to be genuinely nice and pleasant to others, each other, customers. Great to hear that.
Watching the silicone being applied was oddly satisfying. Really cool stuff.
She was incredibly well paced across huge sections. I've had to reseal a few tanks before and that is a skill and a half she has.
This video is just amazing. I’m in awe. Thank you for supporting this company and showing us this video. Many thanks to this company and it’s amazing employees 💕🤩👍🌟
It's not the ordering process that scares me, it's the price tag
they know damn well that tanks are TOO DAMN EXPENSIVE!
Its expensive because it is s company that is trying to prosper. I am totally that guy that buys the dollar per gallon sales but i think the idea for these tanks is trying to set a bar.

Amen. High end tanks for sure but $$$ ouch, as I had considered having one built. So I'm have it on my to do list.

Been waiting for this one - good work 👍Fascinating how much technique is involved in the craft of custom aquarium making.

Love this place. I go on their site all the time and configure a tank 😍 Also her pink shirt. "Eldora Speedway" 😍
It's fascinating to see how folks build such a technically precise aquarium. Nice tour.
👍💕👍
I appreciate these behind the scenes vids! Thanks!
Its crazy how strong silicone is. To be able to hold together all the weight of the glass and the weight of the water at the same time.
Awesome vid, thanks for sharing the tour. Those angled pieces of lumber on the top are brilliant. I've seen shippers do damage to so many things, even if labeled to not stack anything on top. A 2x4 piece of lumber is CHEAP insurance that your product gets shipped properly.
Cool I’m about to start building some custom aquariums for my shrimp
Great tour ty

Awesome video Thank you.
Very interesting seeing how much work goes into those tanks.
It’s kind of like an air hockey table.
Great video , good to know how they put things together , Tks for sharing ...
Great video. Thanks for doing this. Really fascinating seeing the step by step processes. Almost as fascinating as wondering how the heck anyone could give this a thumbs down. Dummies!
Loved this was so interesting to see how these awesome tanks are made and this made a great video I could only dream of owning one
Loved the peak inside. It's always cool to see where stuff comes from👍🐠🐟🐠👍
Would have been fun to see how she got in and out of the tank when she was caulking. Great content. Thank you.
It Amazing tank, love it so much thank you for sharing,

Fascinating video.
Very interesting and cool to watch. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for doing this vid. Combo of my love of how stuff is made and my fav of all things A glass box :)
trim, cross brace, wood stand supports. would been nice to see the process. good video.
That was super intersting, I enjoyed that. Sure wished I could order one up, wow. Maybe someday.
great video john what an amazing facility
Haven’t seen a video on UA-cam that good for some time
Nats are doing great so far tonight.
Awesome seeing a tank siliconed. Idk why but it's mesmerizing. Do they water test before the send it out?
Wow this is really cool! Thanks for sharing
My dream tank is a 8 or 10 foot 300-500 gallons for my large haps if I ever get the space and a basement fish room this is where I am going to go for it. Thanks for the tour John
Very interesting John
Dream tank.. someday it "Will" happen.
Did you happen to see the aluminum stands they offer? Not as fancy as the wood stands, but nice enough to display ones tank.
glass can be unpredictable, worked at a ton of different glass manufacturers
Now this is a great video to watch for sure 💪
Making fish tanks is an awesome process
too busy drooling hey john. lol
don't need to see the video to give the thumbs up. y'all rock!
I think I know where my next tax return is going 🤫 dont tell the wife
Cool! 😃
Hope they're still going strong! ❤
Great Video , beautiful work . Thanks
Great video really enjoyed watching this one
Gorgeous tanks. Sadly, I have to go Plexiglas now to be able to lift them. Great video John. Thanks.
Thank you for this video. I have always wanted a large wall aquarium. I will definitely use your email when I am ready to make it happen!
Where can I get a rock background like the one you have at 0:27??? That would complete my tank
This is fascinating.
Amazingness! 😊
thank you
Very good. Would have liked to see the frame being fitted to the tank
How do the monster size tanks get into someone's home where they are too big to go through the front doors of the home?
So interesting!
@ 22:41 how many gallons is that hex tank? I want one for my cichlids
Fascinating!! ❤❤❤
when we made the pizza displays, we had a clear 32nd or 16th spacer, some never got glued others wanted one-piece displays but the rubber spacers were mandatory for glass above 4ft in public spaces, that was untempered.
It's so weird to hear John talk slowly and reading from the script😄.
Great video! What a difference quality makes.
A challenge for you: Try dropping the word “actually”.
My Dad did this with me when I was school age.
As a result, I’m still a grammar nerd at age 68😎
Awesome
No steel toe boots? Cool facility, nice and clean!
Wow!
A blower. Like a giant air hockey table
Interesting. Good video.
That would be a great giant table hockey board
they are air table's and they turn on a switch to have air flow under neath it to allow it to be moved really easy
Good vid!!

Amazing 👏 👍
I would like a bigger tank. Can only imagine the price tag on one of them.
Fascinated watching
This is aweosme!!!!
The birthplace of the 400g
Awesome!
Wow!!!!
💕👍

the electric ones are most of the time to bulky to work whit.
its a electric silicone aplier
@@ronaldkasteel3459 thanks, missed that!

Wish I could order too 😢
Wish you could ship to the UK 😔😔
Beautiful vedio
This video was uploaded 12 days after my 12th birthday
Wat a quinkidance

Just wondering if that was possible?
It's a 1615 gallon tank that's nuts
How come acrylic tanks cost sooooo much more than glass ??
Why do some tanks get holes drilled in them?
For the sump filters.
Was that a Ted Judy sighting? Maybe his twin i forget which place he's associated with
Ted's Fish Room? Yea that's him
🌈🌈🌈🐌
Such a helpful video! My partner and I make tanks ourselves so the pointers and techniques were nice to see!! Very smart looking business
i have to reseal one of my tanks, i the black silicones
Hi sorry to ask but could you maby when you talk inches gallons and that stuff maby put som cm and liters ,,,its so enoying to skip video and go out google messerments,,,btw very good videos i love them ,it helpt me start being a fish keeper :)

Grate show but I don't like black silicone, 😕 my 200 litre came with black silicone and it leaked so I had it rebuild and it came back with clear silicone a much nicer job if you ask me
I really want to get something set up like big rich and all them at Ohio fish rescue I love all my water buddies but my passion is the oddball giants and I’d love to get all kinds of the big name players in on some buildings in each state so homes can be available for unwanted fish
Why they tried to hide the brand of silicone with that painter tape
