"There's only one other thing that can make my forearms that sore" 😂😂😂 subtle 😂
Lol
A good workout!! 😂
Right after he talks about trying to make it family friendly 😂😂😂😂 that was gold
Really subtle 😏
XD
Joey, I just happened to think about this. You're actually recycling your water. By draining water into your yard, it is going back down to your well system. Being purified through the earth. Pretty cool!
Joey. If you put a ball valve somewhere on the drain pipe, you can just close the valve every time you move from tank to tank, then open it again. Water will get sucked out and you won’t have to go lift the hose anymore.
Also on hose ball valve in the fillers
Bruh ^^^^
I was writing the same comment untill I saw yours lol
@@JurgenBoes I stopped myself as well. Lol
For everyone wondering how he using tap water, his water source is a natural well, he mentioned that as long as he has cycled media he's golden
Yes, I knew that and was going to say that if he was on city water, then what?
@@onejohn2.26 I'm on city water, so I try not to do more then 25%, there's additives you can get that will help combat the chemicals in the water, I add a few drops in my filter and I'm golden, I have no idea if this is proper, but I've never had an issue doing it this way
@@TheRoughGo Yes I add the conditioner, too, but I'd like to not have to do that. Thanks!
Thank God the tap water in Denmark is completely clean and free of any chemicals.
Makes waterchanges easy. Drain the aquarium and then a hose at the tap. 😊👌
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 Not here, they add fluoride and chlorine and only God knows what else....🙄
For once I've done all my water changes yesterday, and can watch Joey do tank maintenance guilt free.
Yeah I looked at my tank after this and said sorry to my fish, I gotta clean that thing haha
Lol nice dude
This is why I love Joey so much, he could have made it to where he wouldnt have any work other than turn valves. Instead. He shows that you can still keep up fish tanks just like everyone else with that many gallons. Inspires more people to keep fish.
This video was awesome, I like seeing the reality of what you do. It's nice seeing how things are done
Great idea with the over hang drain. I just learned another thing from you. I’m gonna put one together. Thanks Joey!!
All hail King Joey!!
😁 I've been wanting to make one but I really like the shower drain on the end of it 👍 great idea!! All hail 🙌🤣😁👍
Joey please keep it family friendly brother! I struggle to find content to watch with my son and this is a hobby we both enjoy together and you are a great watch for us. Family friendly content keeps me coming back!
Actually, I thought that was one of the best videos. Having a good, easy & fast (given the size of the fishroom) approach to routine maintenance is critical in being able to keep one's hobby effort going for the long haul. THANKS !
Yes. I loved this video. Put you on the TV and did my water changes along with you. I got a 220 g, 180 g, 100 g, 20 g and 10 g. Always fun to have company while doing water changes. You should do more of these and just talk about random fish stuff, what's new, any cool new things you found or like.
The thing I think everyone should learn from this video is simply to get motivated to try and figure out how you can speed up your water changes! Joey has always made me think about what I can do to speed things up so the hobby of having fish tanks doesn't feel like a job. :)
I really enjoyed this type of video. Its a nice change of pace.
I just watched a ton of your videos and now I find out you're in NS? A blessing. Stay safe bud, thanks for all of the cool and helpful content.
Thanks for this video. I've always loved cleaning my tanks, even when I had 5 different tanks (saltwater, goldfish, planted community tank, planted barb tank, discus tank). It's like working meditation for me.
Good show. I don't know how you can work, video and talk all at once. It's simply...poetry in motion !!
Lmao at that forearm joke. I understand your pain.
Joey, I love these type of videos, my favourite ones are you making filters or changing around tanks etc.
Really cool to see how you do this. Love the pond vacuum, really clever! Much love from UK
Great video!! Please do a video on cleaning / vacuuming the gravel / sand in your tanks and cleaning your canister filters...
Love the work you do! And watching your videos. When I degrease my car I use a small container with a handpump on top of it that builds pressure in it. Then it has a botton you press to let it out. See if you can find something like that and fill it with that spray you had so you don't have to push it that much. I don't know if you understood what I mean, my English isn't that good hahah have a great day !
Great video, really enjoy seeing you do the maintenance dude 👍
Another lockdown😥🙏 sending you all Good vibes and prayers!! Well looks like we are going to have more good stuff coming up in the gallery ❤️😁
I'm getting ready to do some more water changes myself along with you the King of DIY😁👍💦
I hope you're having a great day!! Thanks for all you do Joey 🙏🌿🐟🤗💚
👍💪
We have lockdown since november 2020.
Every time I watch your videos I feel like I need to step by game up. Thanks for the great video
Love the videos Man keep it up was so excited to find out 1 fish 2 fish deliver to Ontario.
Waiting until 'Joey's water change camera' is the third most watched channel on UA-cam.
Wow that is amazing .... You only do that for a couple of minutes.... Thanks for sharing ideas ❤️
Joey I love the video length, please keep them coming!!!
I have 3 large tanks in my office, a 300 gallon, a 150 gallon and an 80 gallon. By far the the thing that takes the longest when doing maintenance is waiting for the water to drain. It takes me about 2 hours to do 30% on all 3 tanks. I really like that large siphon method to help speed things up over using a pump. It often seems like the best ideas are obvious in retrospect and Im kicking myself for not using bigger hoses in the past.
Sooo sounds like Joey telling me I can get more tanks.
Just don't buy the cheapest hose like I did, it's hard to roll up. xD
Novus #1 is my personal favorite for polishing glass/acrylic. It also leaves a "velvety" layer on the surface. You don't need near as many as sprays from the bottle though
Damn why didn’t I think of that? Start another hose and compensate for the loss of heat. Brilliant!!!! Thanks for showing this. ❤️❤️
for filling the 2000g, could you use a toilet 'cistern valve' or float valve to shut the water off for you when it reaches the desired height?
Yes or an automatic timer with solenoid like they have for sprinkler systems.
Organisation is key and you are all over that keep up the good work loving the videos 🇬🇧
Useful tips. Thanks.
Great video. You've got a great system.
Joey, get yourself a wifi water valve, you can turn the water off from the gym and don't have to hurry home!
Hi joey. Im actually curious that why you did not opt for the easier and convenient way of water change but having additional hole in the tank for draining or refilling the water? Ofcoz if u install total two you can have the flexibility to drain 30% or 50% by just switching on the valve.
Sir, you are indeed a master of efficiency. I'm new to the hobby, so excuse me if this is an ignorant question. How do you condition all that water?...btw, subscribed and alerted. Funny how the first video I saw Of yours was the one where you announced you're closing the at-home gallery. Now I've got to go back and do a little catching up. I think it's amazing that you've had such a following over the years. Congrats from Georgia, USA!
Hey put a lock of valve on your pvc section. Once you lock it off before you remove it from one tank to the other, it should not break the suction so you wont have to keep adjusting the hose or sucking in the end.
I love tank cleaning its just so satisfying
Really enjoyed that Joey nice one 👍🏼
I have salt and fresh also. I ended up using AI 16 HD led’s reef lights. I like the colors of the reef light vs freshwater led
You can get a water alarm that you can hang in the tank when the water gets close to the top the alarm will go off and even give you a notification on your phone if you get a Wi-Fi one
Great job, Joey.
44 years old and female watching since the start :P love the tanks btw
love all your videos
Joey I know you must hear this all the time but you are an incredibly bright person with all the methods you do even down to the syphon hose pvc device you made I love that it drain out each tank to an exact 50 percent on all the 120s very precise also how you are constantly moving one drains one fills and with presion I love it also I have a 540 and a 220 and a 75 I to have aros unfortunately I’m in the us so no Asian are for me you inspire me to be a better fish keeper I would love to have the scape in one of my tanks you make them look so natural I love them my hat goes off to you and I have learned so much from you good sir so I thank you your awe inspireing I need that algae scraper tank on broski👏👏👏👍👍💪💪💪👊👊👊
How often do you overfilled your tanks?
I always flood my house every once in a while lol
Always a pleasure taking in new Intel...
Joey, what brand you use for cleaning the glass the magnetic scrubber? Because I noticed that it as you scrub it ran smoothly. Mine don't do that... It scrub like it's tugging that scrubber.. Thanks.
Smart ideas. Very effective with time management.
What brand do you use for the algae scrubber? I have went through several and none seem to work like the ones you have, they transition well to the side walls.
Now do we just change water or do we check parameters first?
I didn't think I'd find this vid interesting and you proved me wrong!
I remember you saying you have well water, do you treat with prime or anything or just straight water?
I just watched your "Cleaning all my aquariums" video, very cool, wondering what brand magnetic algae scrapper you are using, it looks like it works very well!!
Nice video. Maybe you can do a video on the 2 saltwater tanks.
Gorgeous shot of the Red Arowana at 4:20
hi, could you please share the link for the filter attached to the stingray and arowana tank?
cool video. I got some good tips. Thanks Joey
So, based on your last video, I just now had a thought as you were cleaning the ray's tank. If they do produce pups, where are you gonna keep them? So they can grow up safely.
Love your videos!
The Fritz Cleaner! Thanks for the tip 👍
Connect pool hose to shop vac to get flow going . The. Unscrew bottom of shop vac and let it drain out . Works great
I enjoyed this video.
Love the thumbnail bro!😂
💚🌱🍃🌿 Keep safe and tanks are looking 👍👌
can you use water from ur tap for an aquirium if ur house has a water softener?
That is really cool how you made that pipe.
I have two 33 Gallon tanks, mines take about 15-20 minutes to drain around 60% with a hose into my bathtub, I have 2 so I drain them at the same time, then I have a hose I connect to my shower I use to fill them, im the opposite where it only takes about 5 minutes to fill each tank but it's slower to empty. You could possibly try using the pressure of your shower to fill them?
I keep 2 Nerite Snails in each tank so I rarely have to do anything to the glass as I only keep their lights on 7 hours a day so not much algae grows and they eat it. Maybe once a month I clean the glass.
My filters I clean every about 4 water changes or once a month, one of my tanks has 2 filters, one Fluval U3 and one Canister, the canister filter i've had for 4 months and haven't cleaned it yet. The U3's are easy to clean and each time I just lift the lid and take out the 3 pieces inside, take them into the bathtub and fill a bucket with the hose from the tank water swish them about squeeze them and put themm back. Only about once every 6 months would I take the actual filter in to clean it from anything inside it.
Usually takes me around 30-50 minutes once a week, 20 minutes of which is just me starting them then waiting.
Now how long does it take to do water change for the biggest tank & do you bgg use a pump to change it faster
Great way to do the water changes 🤙
Flame buffing will work on crazing. And possibly your round tank that is now a filter. Practice on a piece of scrap. You can use 300 grit lightly, on it and practice before doing it to your tanks
How do you get your Prothos to grow so well? Mine is struggling.
thanks for inspiring/reminding me to water change today
I use a garden hose put through a hose bender for a washing machine drain with twist screw clamps to adjust the hose length to drain my tanks. So I can do small and large tanks with it. I have it linked to a tap in my laundry with valves so I just flick a switch to change between draining and filling. Because I can adjust the host length in the tank by how much is coming out of the washing machine hose bender I can set it to drain and walk away and it will only drain to the end of the hose in the tank.
Joey, why don't you add a valve on your syphon, then you can maintain suction every time you move the syphon to a new tank? Would only need one sucking!
How do you condition the water before it reaches the aquariums? Or do you find it's not really needed? because i'm conditioning my water with seachem prime before it enters my tank.
This is the coolest thing ever!
Is there a special glue you need to use for PVC in an aquarium? I’ve only used it for house drainage so nothing is “clean” but would assume it’s different in an aquarium
Okay Joey, Canadian question here.
If you drain directly to the yard outside, how do you cope with the huge amounts of water during the winter when the water freezes?
Wouldn’t you end up with huge ice slabs on your lawn?
Rather than doing my water changes I’ll just watch Joey doing water changes
You should switch to an electric or compressed paint spray unit for your glass sprayer. Theyre re-fillable and you just pull trigger. They work great.
Great video man but what if you put a ball valve into your PVC pipe Maybe this will help you If it can't break suction then Move to the next tank
Have you tried vinegar and water in a spray bottle to clean the outside glass?
💕💕 love from south africa 💕💕
South Africa gang😁🥳🥳
Nice pipe action. Great idea! 😆
14:40 get a pressure gage for your sand filters and then you can judge when they need to be back washed. The dirtier they are, the better they filter. Also don't forget to rinse/flush after back washing.
So I made a water changer like yours but the difference is I added 2 ball valves a T at the top replacing one of the 90 degree elbows. So what I do is close the ball valve at the bottom connecting to the pool hose. Then I open the ball valve at the top above the T valve then I take a cup or 2 or 3 from the aquarium and pour in the end with the open ball valve. Once full I close the top ball valve and open the bottom ball valve which begins the vaccum and when I need to switch my other fish tanks I close the ball valve saving water in the pipe for the other tank and just open the bottom valve to start the vaccum again. The only thing I hate is winding the pool hose up. I wonder if you have a good method for rolling the pool hose up?
13:00 use hose timers. You can set the digital rainbirds.
Get some pex and run your water lines. Great vids!!
How do you have the cheek to say you are a family friendly channel and then go on and make that forearm joke. Shocking Joey, shocking. 😂😂
I love your videos
Probably left this comment a number of times before on other vids, but no, now this is the best vid ever on your channel
Sumps easier to maintain vs canisters. Nice to see the filter socks, easy to remove and clean while sump still on.
Have you ever thought about setting up a drain fill system that you don't have to pull hoses, suck on hoses. You could do a couple valve. I'm assuming you use a holding tank to treat your water.
Small pump sprayer for your glass cleaner? Like garden sprayer.
Try using a small garden pump sprayer for the glass cleaner... maybe Fritz will send u a few gallons to test.
That’s actually a good idea
Proud to break your demographic😁 72 year old granny. Totally hooked!! On my way to clean my tank. My fish say thank you.
