@FishTankMike =) totally awesome!
Can't wait to see more fish!!!!!
How about you do a giant danio aquarium! They don't get enough love.
@AquariumCoop Thank you for showing us your process of taking care of yourself with the help of a friend when you're going through a difficult, exhausting time. I have lived since the 1990's with chronic major depressive disorder. Your forthright example and honesty really helped me to reach out and tell my friends and family I was having a hard time finding enjoyment in hobbies and activities I previously felt good doing (Big red flag if it lasts more than a month). I expected very little response from others who care about me because I felt cynical and downcast. I did not trust that I could return to having a pleasant time doing anything but I took a chance to tell my community what was going on and they showed up big-time, just like Mike @AQUAPROS did for you, bringing their enthusiasm and energy to rebalance my head and heart. We humans are like schooling fish in that way: In order to thrive and stay healthy in the aquarium of life we need compatible tankmates to swim alongside. Grateful for the inspiration as always, about the hobby and about life.
I had been in the hobby for 10 years but got overwhelmed during covid shutdown (ironically when so many people were entering). I just had a baby, and she loves watching my remaining tank. It brought back my love for fish keeping, and I'm being pulled back in. I understand completely, and Im happy you are finding happiness in this again!
He's back baby!! Cory tinkering in his fish room and bringing us along is the heart and soul of this channel, in my opinion.
😃 Wow… I used to be heavily into aquariums about 7 years ago. I had to give it all up for reasons I won’t go into but today, for Christmas, I got myself a nice 20 gallon starter tank… Only problem is I forgot EVERYTHING about keeping and maintaining an aquarium! 🙄.
I DO remember this channel and I do remember Cory!… and I remember cycling a tank.
Really excited. I miss this so much.
I’m back baby! 😆
I’ve had the same mindset for sometime. And same as you I’m going through withdrawal of fish. Setup two new tanks and getting ready for more. Sometimes we need that to show us just how much we love this hobby
Hi Cory! So great to hear you're doing great now! Getting overwhelmed and depressed and having a big backlog of stuff to work on is common to a lot of hobbies. I'm so glad you were able to get some help from Mike and accomplish so much in 4 days! I think we all need to remind ourselves to ask for help from a friend sometimes!
Discus fish are the coolest cichlids! And they seem very peaceful too.
It's a good feeling to have your fish tanks in good shape!
I really felt like you were getting burned out, and then your business partner almost died… totally understandable that you got overwhelmed.
I love seeing your process with Mike. It gave me some ideas. ❤
I'm so happy Corey is back!!! It might just be me, but Mike is the Ferris Bueller of the fish hobby! He helped you with your fish room with humor and style, maybe took a Ferrari for a joy ride and possibly crashed a parade?! 😂
Honestly, though, it's awesome to see you so happy and excited, again! ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family 🤗🎄🎅
Been watching you since before the the big tank busted in the front of the original 700 sqf. store. It is about time you enjoy the fruits of you labor and relax and let the little kid come out that love to watch fish breed. If you don't you will wonder where time has went.
You can really see the difference where you did your renovation. My all time favorite tank is the anubias on the red lava rock, and the other is your anubia rock mountain with the trailing wood. Thank you again for the great information you pass along in your commentary.
Super-glad you’ve found your interest and buzz and passion for your hobby again, and just know you’ve inspired a whole lot of us out here over the years 😊 Good to see you end the year on this note, and no small thanks to Fish Tank Mike. He was stepping in for all of us who follow your channel.
we're back baby!!! happy you found your mojo again!!
I'm very happy you've connected with and set up the affiliate with Dan's Fish. Feels like in the Pacific Northwest we have the trifecta with Bob, Dan, and Cory. I hope to meet all of you guys at the eventual unveil event for the opening of the store expansion. I hope you can fly Dan in for it.
I love excitable camera CORY- I was here for all of it but this is awesome- So happy Cory got his groove back 🎉
Love to see you having FUN with your tanks!
I’m glad you’ve found your passion again Cory. We seem to have been slumping at the same time as I have been suffering with burn out. I haven’t been able to keep up with my 8 tanks as I should and have decided to downsize… especially since we will most likely have to move in July. I like the thought of quality over quantity. It seems like this was an enlightening journey for you and I hope the same for myself! I’m glad you’re back!
The fish room is one of the best I have seen! Having watched the transformation I am motivated to keep mine in shape...happy for you Cory. Mike's a great guy!
I thoroughly enjoyed the build series with you and Mike working together. This tour video is so good! Thanks for sharing your fishroom and keeping it real about the ups and downs.
Welcome back! Sounds like a bit of burnout, so glad you’re back - especially because I literally just found you and binge watched a bunch of videos. We (my hubby and I) took a fish hobby break after the mass death of all of our African cichlids last year. We’d had them for 8 years - all of the fish in our tank had been born there. We made a rookie mistake, added a couple of plecos that we didn’t quarantine first and I don’t know for sure that was the cause but within a week everyone was dead with no signs of illness. Devastating. Anyway, starting up again and your videos have been hugely inspiring 😊
Spiderwood, black lava rock, anubias and crypts... absolutely gorgeous tank
Dude, I'm so psyched that you're doing better! I'm really excited to see more!
Welcome back Cory! :) Video is over a month old but still. Welcome back.
I love rainbow sharks, I had bought 6 before and tried to breed them... They died, one at a time until there was just one.. It was like a Highlander situation.. Not what I was hoping for... The Fishroom looks incredible, Cory! I`m glad to see you back in the hobby.
🤟🏼😎 Yeah baby! That's what I'm talkin about. I enjoyed your collab day with Mike. I'm so jealous.. Where can I get a Scientist buddy who'll real-talk the sh*t out of me? 😅 You're so lucky ❤
Can't wait to see your new European tour! Happy Holidays! 🥂🎉
Absolutely gorgeous overhaul, so good to see you have your mojo back :) I look forward to seeing how they all settle and season.
I love the Vienna guppy tank, those 'mountains' are so cool. Never seen pinocchio shrimp before they look really cool too. Thanks for the update :)
I love what the coop is doing thank you guys!
I'm so glad you are back Cory! Just started the hobby in July and your channel/group/homepage has helped me tremendously! Thank you so much. Keep chasing your dreams!!!
Thanks for the detailed walk through. The idea of 2 lights to even out the tank lighting is helpful!
All Cory, all the time!! Thank you for making such great fish content alwayssss!!!
When you go back to Germany you might want to visit one of the warm-water rivulets that can be found there. Tons of livebearers, cichlids, shrimps, and even plecos live there by now. All in the wild.
Watching this and the fish room makeover with Mike has inspired me to get off my but and work on my 3 tanks. That fish room/ tank depression is real. Currently working on rescaping one of my tanks while taking notes from you guys! Totally feels like im part of the buddy system lol
Awesome, good luck today!

ROCKS !!!!
Great content Cory! Fish room looks amazing!
The tanks are looking great! I’m glad to see you back in the fishroom and just enjoying your own hobby more. Merry Christmas Cory, I hope you and Katie have a great Christmas . 🎄
Totally digging the Anubis’s on the lava rock . Planning on doing a rainbow tank by next Christmas ( fingers crossed). They need space to swim but I like having wood, rocks with a little blocked sight lines when squabbling occurs . Enjoying all the new rooms , shop Reno !
You don’t have to explain yourself for wanting more lights. We get it 😂
So glad you're having fun again.
Cory is back full effect and I'm here for it 🎉
This is great content. Love the long form hanging out in the fish room. Awesome stuff, keep it coming, tanks look great!
I’m really glad you have been able to tap into your joy again. It’s really nice to see you enjoying yourself again. Gives me hope about my hobby too! Joy begets joy. Much love Cory!
ive been noticing the lack of videos/updates and all over the past while and im so glad to hear youve gotten your vigor back!!!! even when its not for us to watch or hear abt im really happy to know youve gotten the joy back in your hobby
Thank you for sharing. It's keeping me motivated through the worst flu I've ever had. Cheers.
love that Cory is back!!!!
Yyyyaaayyy Cory back , we all get burnt out and down but it’s how you get back and at it that I s what counts. Knowing yourself and setting your hobby up for your lifestyle is important and under discussed. Major reason for burnout or leaving the hobby
Excited for this new season of videos!
I love the way the Seiryu stone looks with the bolbitis in the platy tank. Im going to have to steal that to get that forest look 😅
thank god. dont get me wrong, i like the other people from Aquarium co op but your my dude and i love seeing your fish room!
I am so happy to hear you are feeling better, and that you have a friend that is such a great support. Your tanks look great. BTW, I recently bought a tank and some guppies because of you. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Cory.
Come on Cory, be generous with Elmer, PLEASE give him a ton of plants for his health and pleasure, just replace them as need be! LOVE the fish room re-do!♥️🎉
Nice 🎉! Just another example of the adage " it's okay to ask for help"
Welcome back, Cory.
I like all of your tanks. They look gorgeous.
I’m just wrapping up my busy season at work. During that time I can barely keep up with water changes let alone do projects. I took inspiration from your videos over the weekend and got back into the fishroom myself. It feels good. Too cold to ship in new plants, but I ordered some additional air supplies and stuff for new projects.😊
I absolutely hate the glass lids on Aqueon 40 gallon tanks! They are solid and sturdy, but whoever though it was a great idea to put the hinge right snack dab in the center obviously never owned a tank! The 75 is perfect (I know it's two separate sides) with the hinge closer to front so a strip light can sit unobstructed in the middle of tank for better light spread. It would avoid all the hassles you demonstrated in that first tank with the platys. I don't like those fish so much, but I really loved that tank! Also enjoyed the lava rock with Anubius plants ❤❤
Heck yea man glad you are back in the videos and feeling the excitement for the hobby again. Ive been watching since the beginning. lets keep it going!
I'm glad you're back.
Great tour- the ebb and flow of fish keeping. Looks good Corey!
Your fish room changes more than the seasons lol mine has been pretty consistent for the last decade
On the cloudy Vienna guppy tank, check the underside of the lid. It may need a wipe. Had a tank like that, broke everything down, and left it for a week..still had a cloudy tank and couldn't figure out why. It was a calcium built up on the lid
Great job on the tanks, they look great, looking forward to seeing more videos on the fish room, its looking awesome with some very interesting tank designs and fish.
Can tell your genuinely enthusiastic about the fish room again, which can be tough when you're always busy etc.
Really enjoyed the video, thanks.
I fell in love with and purchased those limia from Dan as well. Personable little fish and I'm really enjoying them, but I imagine they will like your hard water better than my soft water.
I live in Va and I'm seriously going to take a trip to see the store and meet the man Cory!!
It’s nice to see you reinvigorated in the hobby. You really helped my dive deeper into it years ago. One of the first videos of yours I saw was when I was trying to build a moss wall but you put a video out and used anubias instead and it was awesome. Thank you for everything.
Team aquarium co-op the fish room couldn’t look better thank God you guys finished it on time before that inspector guy comes back in lol love all your content. Keep up the great work see you on the next one.
I heard the inspector is on vacation, but in the new year, there’s new regulations coming.
Platy poop trains! I miss having platies lol.
I have been waiting. No pressure.
Your reboot is contagious😁👍
YAY! Cory's back!
Yup, clubs help too with tank stagnation. Social helps.
Have you ever tried underground filters? That way you do not see any of the filtration. Tube can be cut to be above your gravel and hidden easy by a rock. I bet you could develop one really easily. Just like the old days.
Great video and glad to see you rediscovering your passion! Perhaps some Cyps for the 125????? If so, excellent choice. Love 'em.
David Goggins Cory, “WHOS GONNA LIFT THE BOATS CORY”
Hello Cory. Hapy to see you again playing whit the fish. Miss that, love your chanel. I learn a lot about fish watching a livestream (on you just talking) and I love even more the fish content -whit fish. Those thanks need time and im sure they will get better and better, dont change to much, and maybe add more tanks and one dude that make the hobbie easyer or you cleening that and watching for the fish when you are not there. Remember to go easy on yourself, and enjoy nature daily.
Im Ander from Argentina, and even if can buy yours tuff I have learn a lot, a lot, and you made me a better (more responsable) fish saler.
Yay..welcome back cory 😊. I am looking forward to seeing you and your videos
Good to see you enjoying the hobby again!
I didn’t know how nerdy about fish I was until I got to know this channel through a UA-cam search for treating a sick molly in 2018. I’m just inspired by your whole existence - fish wise, career wise, propane wise. I have literally watched all 1000+ videos. Thanks for bringing us along your ride and making us all better hobbyists. ✌️
I love the blue platys. I wish they weren't professional poopers... I'd get some! 😂
Very very nice.
Thank you Corey.
so cool that Cory is keeping my Limia's in his tanks lol
This is why I loved this channel. Great video, don’t stop doing these please
Great video! Glad to see you on the other side of the slump 🙌🏻
Your fish room is looking great, Cory, thanks for sharing. I love the red-tail shark in there. Ladybird’s tail is looking fantastic.
“Cory is back” are some of my favorite words. I wouldn’t be mad if you bring Dean along for the ride though 😂
I KNOW crypts melt when moved around. But I think I'm crazy lucky because I have never once experienced this with new plants or when I move them in the tanks or even to another tank. They have slowed down, but never melted back on me. Of course now I'll lose all my crypts for such a statement hahaha. I just don't think it's a GIVEN as many others believe. Grow dem crypts baby!
Great video. Gives me some motivation to tune up my tanks. Been in a bit of a funk with mine as well but this gives me some inspiration thank you.
I think there's something about the spectrum of your light that also makes particulates in the water more visible because I noticed that in my tanks when I switched to your light. I've just had to add more floss to my HOB in my display tank and don't worry about it in my other tank.
The light is totally worth it though - I LOVE the color spectrum and how cool (temp not color) it is compared to previous lights I've owned!
I’ll test this, I have a billion competitor lights from testing.
Cool video and mike is a awesome guy. Are the buffalo ciclids mean? Thanks for sharing
Amazing tanks!!! Step back and enjoy 😊
All Cory, all the time rocks!
Hell yea! ALL CORY ALL THE TIME!
Thank you guys 😊
Very cool & happy new.recal you pushing out vides out the 1st garage .
What is that sand in the 125 gallon with the jade rock because it looks really good color and course size really loved these videos almost like a throwback
Room looks really good. Been watching for years... will keep watching for years.
So here's a new observation on the ACO lights: I'm colorblind, so I really struggle to "see" red fish against green plants. With the ACO lights, the red colors are a lot more noticeable to me as compared to the "bluer" cheapo LEDs I use on other tanks.
Interesting piece of knowledge I didn’t know. I may get to help someone with that down the road. Thanks. Ps, I’m living vicariously through you with your new adopted dog updates.
@AquariumCoop I don't know if there's any scientific basis for it or if it's just confirmation bias. I may have convinced myself that I can see better using the good light. I have done a 1:1 comparison with an el cheapo light vs an ACO light on the same tank on the same day in the same conditions, but the result is self-reported so it's unreliable.
My big hairy Mister monster will be glad to hear he has a famous fan! 😀
Glad you are back having fun again Cory!
Totally been waiting! Yay!
It's not as convenient as having the folding hinge on the lid . But I remove that plastic strip down the middle and just have the two pieces of glass sitting on the hood. The light can go in the middle of the crack add lights to the whole tank
I do the same thing, trying to get the light to the plants minus the glass.
Everything is looking great!! Love it
Welcome back bud! 🎉 👏
