All of My Aquariums & Fish (with Massive Updates & Announcements!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Today's video is a complete tour of all of my aquarium setups. I currently have 10 cichlid tanks down in my basement fish room, along with one saltwater tank, with plans to expand into more. I reveal some massive updates coming in the next week or two, and provide an overview of all of the cichlids.
I start with my fish room aquariums and future layout changes, then walkthrough each cichlid tank in order with more background than I've provided before. Hopefully you enjoy seeing all of the fish and hearing about the tanks. I can't wait to show updates on the plywood aquarium in one of my next videos.

Tanks looking great! Love those gymnogeophagus
Thanks man! Kinda want to give them a bigger tank soon
Love your malawi cichlid tank 😍, actually inspired me to get my own Malawi cichlid tank and i love it 😊
Awesome, love to hear that!
Hell ya!! Plywood tank is gonna be awesome. How big are you going. Check out aquarium domain ! He just built a 4600 gallon plywood tank.
Can’t wait. He was a big influence on how I’m going to make it!
I am a starter and this channel has given me lots of information to learn from, Thank you 🙏
Glad it’s been helpful!
I love your Cuban cichlids.. They're just beautiful fish

I am also very new to the hobby. Had a 36 gallon bow front for my kid for years and now I am just getting going with my first Cichlid community 90 gallon tank. If all goes as planned I will be adding a 125 this summer. Long story long your channel is fantastic informative and my go to for learning. Your channel cuts down the learning curve for new fish keepers ten fold. Thank you for your content and I will be a loyal follower. Not to mention I tell everyone who will listen about your channel.
That’s incredible. Love to hear things like this! Glad our channel has been helpful or entertaining. Best of luck with the new tanks!
I did have a question. I live in NW Indiana and work in Lansing, IL. I caught you and your Bros are from Chicago area. Can you recommend any good
fish stores that have good selections. We have The Ark in NW Indiana which is hit and miss on selection.
@@marknestorovich1175 aquarium adventure usually has a good selection. Beyond the Reef is solid. SR Aquaristik is very unique. Chicago Discus is great spot for discus
Excellent information. Thank you and much appreciated.
very cool tour of your fishroom nice video thnxs for sharing
That's awesome. Stoked for you and to follow along!
Thanks so much!
If the plywood aquarium is big enough a monster south American fish tank would be awsome with a silver arowana, oscar, sevs, peacock bass
Love your channel! Very clean and the set up of your aquariums of your basement! It really gives me the excitement everytime you upload a new video. Since I own two of aquarium a 55 gallon and 10 gallon gives me the motivation and the passion for me on learning about fish keeping!! Keep the good work and I can't wait to see whats your next project turns out!! 😁👍🏽
Wow...super excited to see the major updates to fish room.. New tanks and plywood aquarium...All the best bro..I Hope the channel grows super fast as u guys are doing a lot of stuff...🎉❤
I learned so much from these guys. From cleaning the tank, tank setup, background, water change, plants, buying online… and goes on….
That’s awesome! Happy to help!
Can’t wait to see the plywood aquarium!
Great collection 👌🏿
That is excited.. definitely on my list as well. Good luck
Everything looks great, Troy! Good luck with your new tank process! That's very exciting! Looking forward to the updates!
Im so pumped to follow along with your plywood build!!
I‘m excited to see what you are planning :) - I‘m planning a 2000gal myself for the end of 24. Looking forward to some great tips. Regards
I just set up a 40 breeder planted Apisto tank. I also have a 75, 55,60breeder, 29, and two 10s, so as you can see, i also have MTS😂❤
Awesome footage great job crystal tanks 😀 Respect
Thanks! 👊🏻👊🏻
If you want to get rid of that Cyanobacteria you can use Maracyn! Works great. Love the fish room update videos like this!
Please please please if you get a 300 gallon get a fire eel!!! One of my all time favorites! I can’t personally have one but I love seeing videos of them online
YESSS PLEASE BREED THE RED SPOTTED SEVS! They're so hard to find
Thanks Troy. I’ll look forward to see how you build your own aquarium.
Thank you! Coming soon!
Super excited about the fish room. All the best .❤
So stoked man!!!! 🤙
yes I was just gana comment that as a suggestion. I’ve been watching you for a while and always wanted you to do that considering the issue with the moving of the tank. Congrats! Can’t wait to see it
Wow! You should get some stingrays and arowanas for sure....
Yes 👏 Im about to do the same in my garage for my arowana. Im nervous as well 😂
Great tour, I love looking at your aquariums. I’m very interested and excited to see you build the new one! Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching! Excited to share updates!
Awesome update... Those upgrades are going to be sweet. Not that you need my opinion... But one suggestion I would give is to put up some plastic drop cloth or tarp around the area you will be building the plywood aquarium to keep the dust from drifting everywhere. I'm still cleaning dust from my desk build a few years ago... Dust sucks 😂
Thanks! And noted 📝
Just a suggestion for the plywood aquarium. You should do everything for the aquarium as a DIY Anyways im stoke to can't wait. I'm very curious on how big the plywood aquarium is going to be .. can't wait.
Just an idea...hate doin water changes....if you have a drop ceiling its the perfect setup for an auto drip system tied to a wifi controlled sprinkler setup, its very easy to make auto siphon's to keep certain water levels if no drop ceiling hide it in some piping or something to that effect.
Troy,
Wow buddy lots going on for you. Man a plywood aquarium I have never heard of that hmm interesting 🤔 can’t wait to see the progress of everything.
Coming soon!
Good luck on the plywood tank build!!!!!! Can't wait to see it!
Thanks!!
Good luck on the large tank, I’m sure it’s going to be amazing! Would love to see you do a full Central American tank 😍
Thanks man! Got some fun plans in the works!
Freaking awesome man!!! you go boy! can't wait to see the progress ;]
You and me both!
Finally a plywood lol
I am really excited for you! I can't wait to see the changes!
Thank you!!
You got it! Won't regret it. Easier than you think
Thanks man! I checked out your video and helped give some confidence 👊🏻👊🏻
What's your opinion in adding pictus catfish to a south american cichlid tank? 1x electric blue acara 1x red spotted severum 4x keyhole cichlids 2x t-bar cichlids (not SA, I know) and 1x geophagus jurapari
Would they be compatible? If not, what other bottom dwellers would you recommend? Thanks!
BEAUTIFULL! Can you tell me the size of the aquarium tank where the astronotus and the Vieja are in cm? height width and length and glass thickness recomendation .thanks!
Hey cichlid bros i want a big South American cichlid tank can you please send me a tank 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻im in miami🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
For your 90-180G tanks, which requires the least maintenance? I would assume the 90 based on size.
Do you like tanks with fine sand for geophagus or it’s better with corse sand ? I am currently doing the setup on my 100g 6ft and I did put fine sand, but people tell me to add a layer of coarse pool sand because it damages the filter and it’s harder to clean. Do you agree with that ? I have to say that I like better the look of fine sand ratchet than « coarse ».
Sorry for my english
Is that wall that creates the nook a load bearing wall? Are there posts inside of it? What is in front of it on the living area side? Could you cut your viewing window into the wall and perhaps have a side viewing window on the end facing the 150? You could still service it from the back. I’m sure you have seen them, but if you have not seen the videos from aquariumdomain , definitely check out his assortment of plywood builds. He incorporated an internal wetland filter in the last two. I’m excited to see your project!
I will take a couple of the electric blue. I located in West Palm Beach Florida.
Clownfish are jumpy. Please put a lid on that tank.
Amazing fish room ! I have a stupid question. How on earth do you power all the equipment?
Outstanding!!!! expect more vibrance to see......
All your tanks look good. How is the saltwater coming along? They take a while to mature.
Don’t get rid if f the shellies! Just put them in a bigger tank with other Tangs
Wow, this was an awesome update. Your fish are so healthy and beautiful. Anyone who is not subscribed is sure going to miss out. The plans are incredible. The fact that your taking on both at the same time is impressive. I, for one, am readily waiting for the next video. Love from Ontario
Where do you guys recommend to buy fish online? I’m looking for some Geo Tapajos and none of my local stores have them
Imperial tropicals usually has them
Are you selling any of the blue acara? Im in the dundee area and would love to get some if possible!
Yep, I can part with a few! Email or DM us on instagram and we can go from there!
It’s not the temperature that’s preventing the crypts and sag from growing - it’s likely lack of nutrients and light. They definitely need root tabs. Both of those plants also take a while to establish, but once they do - they take over. I’ve kept both of those plants at 84 degrees with absolutely no issues.
I’ve used a ton of root tabs and the light is very strong. It’s a combination.
@@CichlidBros definitely worth doing some water testing if you haven’t done so already. Roughly what’s your light schedule?
I want some
how often do you do water changes on the 180. i have a 180 that i’m looking to transform into a south american chiclid based tank with an fx6
I try to do every 7-10 days based on my nitrate levels
@@CichlidBros do you have a seamless sump or a filter runningv
@@snipe_z8845 canister filters
What is a plywood aquarium ?
DIY tank made primarily with plywood. You’ll see the process coming soon
@@CichlidBros thank you for answer can’t wait to see it
MTS much? 😂 I love it. This is awesome
How many discus do you have in the 90
