    Hey there I watch your videos on how to build a aquarium stand. Well I copied you to a T! It came out great! 😂😂. Anyway I have a 125 gallon w two fluval 407's packed Seachem matrix and a fluval 307 with sponges and chemical! Is that enough filtration. When you get a chance please let me know. 😂

    School of lion fish would be amazing. I don’t think I’ve seen that done before. Also, great idea for the filtration on the 2000. Cheap easy setup that can prove to be much more powerful and beneficial than any filter sold on the market. Loved this video dude 👏🏻

    Joey can I ask for a filter design were the Pump is at the end after all the media, I have a feeling that running the aquarium water straight to the pump first will get it dirty faster and I’m tryna have to clean it atleast as possible, if I was to make something like this I would have to dedicate a bin just for the filter at the end, then make sure I have piping running from the pond to the first bin, thank for helping me visualize my idea now time to sketch!

      @@jhaych my tank isn’t drilled so I’d be doing a siphon down into the bucket / can which in a power out situation would keep emptying until the water is below the intake - ie 50-65 gallons if the filter pulls from the worst, most dense water at the bottom. If the pump fails or just can’t keep up it just feels like a flood in the making unless my siphon is maybe 2 inches from top of the tank.

Of course I didn’t know how old he was when I got him, he wasn’t a baby but he wasn’t full grown either. Question 🙋‍♀️ what do you think about those Ziss filters for a 37 gallon rimless tank? I was thinking of running one of them along with a sponge filter. It’s going to be a planted tank with Apistogramas and a few dither fish. I’d love your input!
