    I wish I could say I was inspired to build a fish room but I’ll just live vicariously through you. My recommendation is to add Congo tetras to your discus tank. They would look beautiful in there

    Love my Hyggar's in 24 hour mode! Sunrise when I get up to work at 5:45 and power off moonlight at 10:15, about when I go to bed. Best thing ever. If you haven't done a timelapse, that might be really awesome! I posted one up on an Amazon review of the lights. Beautiful!

    Hey mate, with deep water, low light aquariums you need to go for plants such as Anubias Barteri, Anubias Nana, Anubias Gigantea, Java fern, Bolbitus Heudelotii, Bucephalandra, and all the mosses. They are all easily attached to rocks and driftwood which would suit the discus tank. They are often slow growing but buce, bolbitus and anubias are also some of the nicest plants you can get.

    Watching the 4500g at night with the red lights on definitely sets a more calmer mode for the fish and to see them just gliding through the water is really nice to see. I also enjoy when I have my moon lights on my 600g saltwater tank at night. Could watch them for along time. The predator Bay 3000 is really coming along nicely as well as the other builds. Have a merry Christmas and I look forward to watching all of your tank projects come together.

    Another great video! I don’t comment that often, but your videos are detail oriented and I can’t begin to explain how much that helps people arrange their own setups. I only have one request if I may, recently you’ve made videos discussing the new Predator Bay 3,000 build, and I get all excited to see the Shark and rays in the old setup bc I assume (as I think most people do) that when you’re going to discuss the saltwater build that you’ll show us the current tank at some point in the video, even as filler for the video, bc those saltwater species are the whole reason you’re building the tank. So I’ll watch the video, you’ll discuss the tank build, and then you start showing video of the freshwater fish lol and I get soo disappointed!! Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you’re super busy building the new tank and that’s distraction enough, but I think in the past 10 videos (estimating off the top of my head) you’ve only shown footage of the current saltwater setup for about a full 40 seconds..and that was when you made the small quarantine for the shark eggs (again, I’m not tracking it I’m just estimating so I apologize if I’m completely wrong and that’s very possible lol)..anyway, MORE FOOTAGE of the sharks and rays is my point! Get on it sir! LOL totally kidding, wishing you and your family AND your fish a Happy and Healthy Holiday..and thank you for your hard work on these tanks and videos, it is appreciated! Joe

      @AquariumDomain.  14 днів тому

      Thanks, I appreciate the feedback, the current Shark tank isn't much to look at right now as the sharks have knocked down all of the rock work and the tank is kinda in a holding pattern before the move. However, we are getting very close to moving them over into their new home so there will definitely be some footage of them before, during and after the move! 😊

    I have had to move my 22 in pacu a whole bunch of times when I had him... I can only imagine how difficult it is to move a 48 inch shark that is 100% muscle. If it was me... I would probably engineer something like a large diameter drainage pipe that is small schedule, thin wall so its not heavy and drains water out and just let sharks swim inside of it and then trap them and move them. I hope however you do it (ie with a traditional koi sock) is you do not get knocked out with all that thrashing about.
