  • I was in Orlando last week and was fortunate to spend a few minutes at Mario's house. He builds big, beautiful acrylic tanks and stands and there are two huge ones in his living room! He also has a pretty cool project going on out in his garage so be sure to watch until the end.
    Also, if you're near central Florida and are interested in a huge custom tank then check them out here:

    I prefer the discus tank it's so peaceful and the tiny tetras make a great addition! The other tank is a little too chaotic

      100% agree. The plants flow well in the discus tank too. I would love to have that chilling in my living room.

    The discus tank is beautiful. Discus always gave a calming effect to a room. The African tank, on the other hand, is pure chaos!
    Africans are extremely busy. They dig burrows and move things around, etc. But there are so many fish...what were you thinking?

Thanks for the sub and that info too I'll check them out. I subbed you a while ago, just never commented, I usually watch vids while I'm doing the dishes or cooking lol, and I'm a little bit like you, I start to ramble on so it's my turn to shut up ;)

    The second tank actually isn't overcrowded. If you look close you'll see that the fish are mostly all near the front of the tank and bunched up on one end. There's a lot of space behind them. And remember, five hundred gallons is huge. Even if there are fifty fish they still have ten gallons each.

    • @wabalaka1565
      @wabalaka1565 2 роки тому +1

      For a 500g tank plus whatever the sump hold. It could house between 150-200 cichlids easy and be considered African cichlid standard stocking. Beside tank side filtration system play a major role too I would prefer smaller tank with better filter system. He under stock that tank because he already has enough space number of cichlid that the aggression is low, plus he want it to be as maintenance friendly as possible.

      I have Mbuna cichlids. You have to have lots. It thins out aggression but they are brutal territorial fish. I litterally had a dozen yellow labs and they kept killing each other. Down to 2 males and they quarrel. Blue Cobalts are not as bad.

  • @photojames160
    @photojames160 7 років тому +1

    Mario, I think your tank is beautiful, I hope someday to have a tank that big! my only question is about the flowrate in the tank. I was led to believe that for discus there should be less movement in the water. That discus don't like fast-moving water, and normally don't come from rivers that are fast flowing. Have you done any research in this area? Thank you again for showing your fantastic aquarium! Also Mario, I wanted to ask you if you were aware of or have tried the Hanns frozen discuss food, my discus love it and I think it's much better than beef hart. Anyway you are one lucky fish keeper! I cannot wait to see the 800 gallon set up and running, that's an amazing thank!

    Mario your the man!
    That's quite a collection of African cichlids you have there!
    I didn't see any chipokee or uratus cichlids.
    Hope they didn't go extinct!
    I had a 55 gallon & 30 gallon tanks.
    One cichlid & fresh water.
    Wish I could move somewhere else to own
    a tank or two like yours!
    The water here is terrible for aquarium hobbies!
    Mining causes too much lime build up on
