Great meeting it's also great to put a face to a name. I see Whip's name on live streams. It happens a lot on live streams we have a conversation with folks but have never seen their face. So now I will remember who Whip is. Once again it was a great conversation between both of you. I really like this kind of video.
Razin fish I really love your channel and I totally agree with you
@@keithduwe2647 thank you
Nice general conversation, good tips mentioned ... thanks for sharing
What a treat to see you guys together!
Good stuff, buddy!!
Enjoyed it, ben. Good to see whip and find out a little about him. Look forward to Saturday.
Whip!!!!!! This is awesome.
Great Chat Guys
Great chat
Very Neat to see Whip in the flesh! Very Neat to see Two Legends in the Fishkeeping Community together!!! Bravo, Gentlemen! It’s a Five Coffee Interview! ☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️
👏👏👏👏👏
Great listen! Also jealous of you Ben, Whip never brings me any Red Terrors 😂
You want one, I'll bring you one, my friend.
@@Whips_World Well I don't want a Red Terror, but it would be nice if someone wanted to bring me one....hmmm I sound high maintenance....lol...how we just grab a beer at the OCA & Clash instead! 🙂
@@AquariumDomain. Deal!
This was such a great video 2 of the coolest guys in the fish hobby. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Great interview with Whip. Do more like this one Ben. Learned a little more about both of you. Since I watch you both I really enjoyed you together.
I'd love to. It's a matter of time and logistics, but they are fun to do for sure.
Whip 🤘
mity!!! 🍻
Always love hearing from others in the hobby. Great video
Thanks Jerry!
Awesome video how could it not be too fishy folk gentlemen discussing the greatest hobby in the world?👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks guys loved the stream and watch both of you from Spain 👍
That's amazing!!! ❤
Awesome vid Ben , cool seeing whip and the experience with you guys, and he’s a fellow Chicagoan 🔥
Yes, he called it "Chicagoland" - thanks for stopping by Brian.
👍🤠 Enjoyed that. Whip, hopefully you waved on the way by! 👋✌️
I definitely need to hook up with you, too, Buddy.
I got 2 of the 5.5 gallon portrait tanks off fb market place, and one of them was kinda cruddy, missing things. one I kept my betta in and when Bennie passed on I decided to remove the back filter section for more usable swim space and figured I would keep that one then I removed the back on the second one, kept both the little pumps, now I use the pump for removing water from my 20 long and my 55 stuck a hose from lowes on it and shoot it out the window while my husband waters the gardens with it, then when I fill I have a shorter tube off the siphon water changer and stick the little pump in the bottom of a 5 gallon bucket and refill the tanks with that, only bucket brigading with a 2.5 gallon bucket. best thing is that the little pump has a flow control on it. I figured this out while trying to go to sleep one night knowing I had to do a water change on the 55 the next day! 😅. plus I now have x a back up pump also, lol. actually I'm using that in a 10 gallon shrimp tank to keep the water moving since I'm using a very small sponge filter... so many uses for those little tiny pumps, and on max they move some water!!
Whip love
Collaboration. Excellent 👋🐟. 🐠
Same here both of my 75s have hob,canister& sponge filter
Whip, trickle filters act like overhead sumps and you don't have to drill the tank and it takes less juice to run. Discussion in Enjoying Cichlids, ed. by Ad Konings. I ever get my
8'× 2' ×2' plywood tank built I'll DIY a trickle filter,
.
Man, Whip has been getting around lately! 👍 nice!
I'm everywhere, man! 😂
I used to cut glass for All Glass Aquarium
Whip is awesome. Glad we finally met at aquashella
Anytime you make a change tske a picture and set a timer. I'm kinda off grid. Most of the time power is unreliable at best. Use the smart phone to remind your self where you were v.s. where you want to be.
I still use the Hikari cichlids pellets medium size😊
Me too, and I'll say it tobyour face 😂
"My wife counts those"...quarantine tanks.😂😂😂 My wife only counts the ones in the house. Luckily she rarely goes in the garage
LOL!
Hi Whip!
HI STEPHEN! 🍻
Use Alexa as reminder alarm !!!!!
Nice video. Pls can anyone help me. I just got a used 4 foot 90 gallon tank with metal stand. The previous owner said, the tank and stand are just 4 month old. I m a little worried abt the thickness of the metal stand,its just an inch thick which seems a little thin and the tank wobbles on the stand, its without water. I filled the tank with water for a day to check for leaks, luckily no leaks, but it still wobbled a bit. I stay in an apartment in New Jersey with good even flooring.
Ben for some reason this is the second time they unsubscribed me from your channel 😢
Thank you for telling me. I’m going to ask YT what the heck is going on?
