Wood, rocks and sand... the hardscape of the 2,000G aquarium!
With such big fish being added to the tank, and plants yet to be added... i think this turned out pretty good. What do you think?
The king of DIY hi
The king of DIY joey when will you put in the rays and fish
Still watching but wanted to say whole its early enough for you to see that I love your videos :) you're he reason a lot of us aquarists try our hand at DIY
The king of DIY I think it looks good and you are always an inspiration to me for aquascaping thanks so much
The king of DIY hi
5.57 'I wish you guys were here to slip and slide around with me' that tank is very big Joey but i have a feeling that all 433k of us won't fit in! :)
We dont know for sure until we try it.
Yeah but Joey, people pee in pools. The avg adult bladder has 400ml capacity, or 1/10th of a gallon. That's 43,000 gallons of urine. Even if only 1 out of ten people pee in your tank, that's 4,300 gallons. Even with your overflow in mind, I got a gut feeling (though my math might be wrong) that your bio-filtration couldn't handle those levels of ammonia. I apologize for this comment. Don't hate me, and keep up the good work man, Really looking forward to seeing the flowerhorn in the tank. With that big of a tank, it would be interesting to get a remote control submarine and put a go-pro on it to swim with the fish!
The king of DIY i am willing to try for sure
unless we go in a big grinder and get ground down to chum we will fit
We'll take turns
I really like the rocks but maybe a few trailing off will make it look even more natural.
This looks much better than I thought it was going to when you first time you showed the wood when the tank was unfinished. I think it will look amazing with a little greenery on the wood.
yeah its going to look amazing with some plants in there :D
You should make a worm ball for your rays! Just get a whiffle ball (hollow with holes) and stuff it with worms or treats. Your rays will toss it around to get the food, I've seen freshwater rays do it before and it's super cute and makes for good enrichment!
Wow, that sounds awesome! And the rays are already so adorable. Hope Joey sees this!
I think adding pebbles into the substrate would help transition from the rock to the sand. And you could add concentrated pockets of them around the floor. That way you get more variety without adding obstructions for your rays.
even cooler, if you then planted some small plants in the pebbles I think that would add some interesting variety.
I think this is an awesome suggestion. I think it would look amazing. I'm not sure if the rays wouldn't just move pebbles right out of their way... but if not, this would be the best, most natural look!
best idea yet
If he did that he could add Giant Jungle Val... since it exists and I've never seen it used in an actual aqua scape before.
agree!

24/7 underwater cam livestream, thats the future :p @The King of DIY
Looks great! My favorite part is the little cavern in the bottom left at 17:08. I also find it difficult not to change the scape periodically.
Hurray!! Looks great, buddy
i screamed for joy when i saw this on my sub box. it looks beautiful, cant wait for the fishes to be in there
Loving the multi camera angles :)
*PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING IN A FIRE EEL*
It'll be compatible too
Shivam Bhatt it's a great idea although he probably wants to start out small and get more later, so u just gotta think the way he does, u know??
the arowana,rays n frank is going to have hell of a good time in this big tank!!! 😁😁
JustMeSara he is, he said it at the end of the last vid
JustMeSara he is
JustMeSara Joey also mentioned abt it at 18.24 ☺
Frank is freshwater? For some reason I always though he was a saltwater fish,..
[GD] TeamVolcaniX a cichlid salt water bahahahaha idiot
SAFETY IS NUMBER ONE PRIORITY
Nice joey now you have something to compliment your mermaid tail and seashell bra.
Why did i have to go live that day!!! ughhhh lol
we're waiting :)
..at least the seashell bra needs to happen (LoL) :D
Lol
Nice one! I really like the clean scape. You didn't over do it and the fish have a LOT of space to grow.
I was waiting for this since joey announced it
I do believe this is my new favorite video! I'm sure you will top this, but this right here just brings it together for me. Though seeing the fish in their new home will be just as awesome!
wasn't sure that scaping this tank was a good idea,but I have to admit it looks great
Looks unreal Joey! Thankyou for all the videos. Youve made fish keeping my favourite thing in the world!
Can you ship a 2000g aquarium over here to the UK? no? why not? I thought we were friends me and you Joey.
You always do this. Then you wonder why we dont have nice things.
The king of DIY HAHAHAHAHAHA
So this is the very first regular Tuesday video? Awesome!
Cant wait to see to stocking. Good luck
Why do I feel like a proud mother
When it's complete you should live stream your fish just swimming around.
Food McCarthy yes!! i love watching fish!! it's so soothing & relaxing
Food McCarthy yesss that would be sooo cooooooooolllllll
I don't even keep fish but find your videos fascinating. Love your energy and passion.
We aren't going to forget about the mermaid costume 😂
shhhh
The king of DIY
hi I love your videos and I'm 14 with a lot of tanks from south Africa and am the same when it comes to decoration I'm always changing it and I think the flower horn will be fine because of its aggression best of luck
Ryan - GoldSlayer a Deal's a deal you got to go through it bro
also from South africa :) , got 1 planted tank.
Your wife deserves a special mention more than all of us for putting up with all this. This couldn't have been possible without her! 😊
Thats gonna be awesome when its finished.wow.
I'm not even into fish tanks, but I can appreciate the labor put into this project. Been watching your progress for a couple weeks now, keep up the good work!!
i think u should add more sand
achyuth aj yea the rays will probably just leave open holes on the bottom lol
i agree
bri's art that's what I was thinking.
I agree we see your footprints wouldn't it be better to have a slightly thicker bottom?
achyuth aj
Just two bags will do!
Hey Joey! The Scape looks A-May-ZING! I love how it wraps around and then looks like the smaller end is right up against the viewing window. You said something about a few rocks randomly placed...I think that would ruin the openness of the bottom. When you talked about your love/hate relationship and how you would always get in and change things I couldn't help but chuckle. My wife always yells at me for that exact reason, I will see something that all of the sudden doesn't look right so I am constantly changing things around, LOL! You are an amazing guy doing an amazing service for the aquarium hobby, keep it up and who knows, maybe someday there will be an aquarium in every house!
You need a TV show. Much better than Tanked. Those guys are clowns
Been offered deals 3 times now. Every contract states i stop making youtube videos like this..... Clearly, you know what my answer was to that.
hopefully they will come around
The king of DIY Good! We need the DIY KING 👑!
coleman thomas well anyone could make this tank. What they make I highly doubt he could
+The king of DIY way to stick to your principles
that first peace of drift wood is amazing.......the aquascapeing look fantastic. cant wait to see it planted.
Looks amazing but it looks like it needs more sand and maybe some more colors. Can't wait to see it finished.
ssrc30 I'm pretty sure he's putting plants in so that should brighten it up.
Yay! Finally! Can't wait to see the fish enjoying their majestic tank! Well done! Greetings from Italy, ciao!
Can I be a fish in this tank? It looks luxurious!
Can't wait to see the arowana, the rays and Frank in there! They're going to be so happy. Which is, in my opinion, the real goal in this hobby.
Leave it man! Don't change it! It looks amazing!!!!
I can't wait for his tank to be completed. It will look really nice.
hello from indonesia!!
Hello from Canada!
Hello from England!!
Hello from France!
Hello from Norway
hello from ny
I am absolutely in love. I am no aqua enthusiast like you, but I do appreciate aquariums and yours are especially impressive to me. Very nice!
true fans watch in 360p !
Everyone loves Joey. He was the first fish UA-cam channel I saw I've seen most of his videos and I like how you just feel like his friend. watching him be happy and so exited about fish makes you happy and exited as well. Thanks Joey!
Awesome video Joey :D can´t wait for the fish!!
So excited to see the rays and arowana in that awesome space! They are going to be in heaven. Great job Joey!
I think a bit more sand would even out the bottom and maybe scatter a few of those small rocks just a little bit away from the big rocks to make it look a little bit more natural.
I constantly rearrange my tank scape. Joey you are not alone in that. The Malaysian bog wood looks really awesome in that setup.
love how much fun you have :)
I think the slipping around made it a tad more fun lol
Truly amazing to have the hard scaping done, just the plants and lighting and it'll be ready for the fish, love it.
hey Joey Uh Must have used a dark back ground !
to give ur aquarium more depth
but still it looks awesome !
love your work bro
admire you likey idol !
Looks great. I like what you did with the wood and the addition of rocks makes it even better. Also glad you've decided to add the flowerhorn. That will be cool to see. Such a cool and odd fish. I hope you will document the physical movement of the fish as many viewers are Keen to see that process.
You need more sand!
I don't see the day coming where we can see the fish swimming in this amazing aquarium!! Congrats its amazing
Just one big bull shark 🦈 bro that's all you need!!! 😂
Looks really great! I love the wood, so gorgeous. The only tweak I would make is adding a few large flat rocks in between the two rock pile anchors. You mentioned it yourself that it might need some rocks in between and I agree with that. Keeping it to flat rocks shouldn't interfere with the rays ability to swim under and around the wood.
Not over done.. just need more rocks and smaller ones to fill it in.. IMO. Also needs more sand lots more sand.
It's been kick ass watching this project come to fruition. From pouring the concrete to now this. I can't wait to see the fish in it. Lets not forget how badass the other tanks are going to be though!
Man the flowerhorn also getting in there :D
Frank : yo new buddy
Arowana : sup
Frank : play with me
Arowana : no i am not a kid
Frank : oh i was not asking, now listen YOU BETTER PLAY WITH ME OR I WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE!!!!!!
Arowana : ok ok!
Frank : oh your so kind
This reminded me of spirited away. Not sure if that was intentional or not.
Looks GREAT, have been following since the start of the aquarium. WELL DONE!
Happy Birthday America & Happy Birthday to me too! Joey you rock! I will have a drink on your behalf.. or 2 ha
YourBrother Happy Independence and Happy Birthday Bro! did they not make a film about you? Born on the 4th of July, sweet
Canada day just passed... trust me.... i drank like a fish hahahahaha
The king of DIY Happy Belated Birthday Canada.. HicK-Up (Blows Bubbles)
Tanks looking great dude!!
YourBrother looks like I am not the only one sharing my birthday with America
ThisIsAbsolutely Ridiculous Happy Birthday You! 🎂
That is just one awesome tank! Can't wait to see it stocked.
I have a gold fish.
Novaqarus Me too. Hes fat and his name is Bill. What about yours?
His name is Timmy.
I have a baby Betta and its name is astriod.
The tank looks great. Can't wait to see the plants growing and the fish in place.
Get a catfish that would look so cool
Alf D that would be too bottom heavy. rays will get pretty big
Ke
I have 2 pictus catfish, they're the cutest. Pigs when it comes to food, but adorable as hell
Not everyone can slip and slide and aquascape in there fish tank, except you Joey. take my hat off to you true inspiration keep it coming!
I think the bigger patch of rocks is to round and unnatural looking maybe just making the patch less round would help. Just my thoughts.
WOW. I'm truly enjoying this project of yours. I was a bit surprised that you didn't put much more substrate but I guess it's only cosmetic so it works. Great work!
You should place the rocks across over the tank and lay the wood evenly across the tank on the rocks. Like this, the arowana has the whole top area to swim. The rays has also has the whole bottom area to swim. The wood will look more natural having lay flat bottom across the tank.
Well done Joey. Looks amazing. Cant wait to see the finished tank. I think the fish are gonna love the new setup.
i am am constantly changing my scapes, i can never fix on something!
That 2k tank looks awesome. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us.
Will the floor be able to handle all that weight? I'm kind of worried it'll collapse
No. I built everything knowing it would one day all collapse. lol
Everything is over built. The tank is bullet proof(literally) and the floor is an 8" slab, sitting on top of another 8" slab.
The king of DIY But, is it bomb proof?
Daniel Hernandez O
Alejandro Cortes I don't think terrorists are after his fish lol
That's awesome to hear the flowerhorn being in the tank as well. He's quick as a cat, should be fine.
He should put a large mouth bass In that tank
Love your enthusiasm. The tank looks awesome. Great work!
While still amazing, the larger rock pile doesn't look natural to me. The wood is full of holes and voids and then the rocks are all packed close together looking cluttered in comparison. I'd probably spread them out a bit more, so there is the large rock with fewer small rocks around it. Maybe tuck some of the smaller rocks down under the middle portion of the wood.
Dude. I very much have enjoyed this tank coming together!!! I'm super exited. Can't wait to see your ariwana, rays, and your flower horn in there!!!!
I'm almost afraid it's not big enough.
Love the tank even more with the awesome layout of the wood and rocks! I really appreciate your videos and the way you make me feel like we are having a conversation together. Your awesome as always 🙂. Thanks!
Screw the fish tank change it into a swimming pool haha jkjk
looks great can't wait to see the flowerhorn at home
I think he should add a little more sand and fill those white spots
Your tank is looking lovely and I can't wait to see it with the plants added. I think a little more sand is needed so when the rays are in there they are pushing it around they aren't baring the bottom in spots. I also think you need a few random smaller rocks in the open areas to give it that natural placement look. ..... Keep up the good work I enjoy watching your channel and especially this build.
I have turned to your videos several times over the years to lean how to make my own filters, seal aquariums and make my own fish food and being on a budget this is important to me so thank you for that.
I thought you said you don't like substrate with stingrays because they shed the tail thingy.
David Nguyen first thing I wondered too
I ALWAYS change my scape. Sometimes I fear that itll stress my fish out a lot, but they always love exploring everything after it's changed, so I think they're doing great. Glad to know I'm not the only one!
Needs more sand...
javz14 I think that he knows how much sand is needed.
Great video!! looking forward to seeing the sting rays and arowana in there.
Mrs. Rico
110 weirdows dont like this video!!!???
Love the updates. We're all getting spoiled on 3 videos a week joey. 2 thumbs up. Next step is lighting and fish. Can't wait
Would you consider adding a 3d back wall ?
Watching from the beach, I couldn't wait haha
wow those are gonna be some lucky fish:) but i'm sorry you can only fit 1 guppy in there!! JK😂😂
Joey! Great work so far. Love how it's all coming along. You should get a GoPro and make a mount for it above the tank looking down! So you could always get shots looking straight down at the tank! Anyone else agree??
you should put led strips under the lid thingys
Tank is looking good! Can't wait to see things swimming in it. : -)
How can you afford all of this? The water bill, sand, the tank itself, the wood, the rocks
Nugget The Nugget he's mentioned many times that he's on a well so no water bill.
If you're asking this question, you have not been watching his videos. However, crowdfunding and sponsorship.
Nugget The Nugget he is using well water which is free
Nugget The Nugget Water bill!?!? Where do you live in africa?
almost 500k followers worth of ad revenue
I would have added a little more sand, but other than that, It looks awesome! Much better than I expected! It's going to be great coming home to such a fantastic tank! Cheers from Brazil!
I don't like that driftwood. It all too thin, spiny and scary looking.
I like the driftwood that Oliver Knott used in one of his big tank aquascapes.
Some bigger stump would maybe be better or some overarching logs or thicker branches...
Oh yes Joey!!!! This looks fantastic!! I'm so excited for you, now getting your drift wood set in place, along with your sand. Your head must be spinning as you see your dream slowly becoming reality!! I can only imagine the stress you've been under trying to get this small swimming pool set and ready for your fish!! Good luck and I can't wait until your ready for the fish!! Thank you for sharing.
