That's a cool idea! I love the indoor mini pond... looking forward to seeing what you stock it with.
Girl Talks Fish I know you are a famous UA-camr
This was bada$$! Thanks for the idea! That is beautiful. And I’ll do the lid cut out, love that idea to keep its shape because I want to put fish in mine and will be a deeper tub.
Nice video my guy, I was sent by Aqua Funk, he told me your channel is amazing and he's right, much love man keep up the great work 💪👍
Hey, Rob! Thank you for checking out my channel and for the compliments. This made my day! Jason is a really nice guy.
Love the tote tank braddah the scape with dragon stone looks sick!! Much love and aloha🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽
Hawaiian Peacock thanks man! I will soon make an update video on it!
I LOVE your name - it always makes me smile whenever I run into you on here! It sounds like a sitcom character! lol. Do not ever change it! This project is AWESOME - I am always interested in these container tanks / ponds. Good call on dealing with the bowing issue. Home Depot dust .... a fact of life lol. Nice job with this!!! Haha with the Mickey Mouse voice...love your sense of humor. Gotta say that your taste in music is spot-on too with the chillhop goodness. Loveeeee that stuff and will check that artist out! I have another tank project or two here in the early stages - I want to dirt both and I had forgotten about pool sand. I have a couple different subtrates and like trying different ones. You have a GREAT eye for scaping - and your tips are very GOOD ones. It looks VERY natural - fish and critters love caves - there is nothing unnatural about the cave you did - if anything it looks like it has been there since the beginning of time... :) Fantastic job on this video! Cannot wait to see this one grow out. Lovely girl and cute dogs! Hello to everyone!
4 years later and its the same papi
Awesome video man!
That looks good!
Would love to see more container tank vids
Definitely gonna do this
I bet if you keep it up you’ll be one those big youtubers
Good content! I like that you have good methods that I haven't seen before. I love that you can always learn something new in this hobby! If you haven't already, please make a more in depth video on how you cycled this "tank." :)
Hi, Carly!! I stopped by the store today and said hi to Ashley. I plan on making proper acclimation for sensitive organisms like shrimp, cycling techniques, and showing my upcoming project! Thanks for your comment it made my day. Next time I come in, I want to ask you and Victoria what your favorite animals are and why as a cute little interview section in one of my videos if that's okay
Awesome! I'm looking forward to your upcoming videos! I'm totally okay with you interviewing us, and I'm sure that Victoria would be as well. I'll let her know you are thinking about that!
Hey, does anyone know if this would be good for neon tetras? Like a very large container for tons of them? Also, will they get caught in the small thin lines in filters, because I used these types of filters for my betta.
Love your video
Awesome
great job inding a ix on container!!!
about the max limit of most plastic bins is about 20 gallons, using the top with cuts in it to serve as a brace. Anything more you'll need rubbermaid bins, simply due to their durability, and they can hold a lot more, but you can't see through them, only from the top.
Another saver is getting playsand from hardware stores, which will run you about 8 bucks for a 50 pound bag, and is also sterile. You can mix in organic potting soil as well, layering aquarium gravel at the bottom for stability of a root system, the soil layered, with playsand on top to get a similar aesthetic. Obviously it still is murky, and the potting soil will mix a bit with the sand, but it gives a bit of a pond bottem feel while stll allowing live plants to be put in
Awesome video!! 😃
Thank you so much Bethany!!
Nice
nice suggestions ! 👍☑
AquariumCop thanks! Hope to stop by on your next live stream
Hi Alan, you're cute! And I loved your plastic pond. 🌸
That's a good and cool a idea

I really like sound effects man 👌
ChewieArt thanks a lot! The beat is nice huh?
neighborhoodman323 yea especially the "TAADAA" sound 👌
kool right, future Hollywood sound effects producer ....lolol
really kool
Nice setup! Was wondering what plant is that hanging on the back? Really liking it
It’s called pothos. They are popular in the fish hobby a lot of people put them in their filters. The plant has fully surrounded the tank and has already climbed near the top of the fish rack already!
It is poisonous to consume so watch out if you have cats or dogs or children haha
Containers are kool , one should be careful to remember some fish do jump so a lid on the container would be great. The deeper the container the better, if you wish to use the container for a bit you could use plants to contain fish in container and prevent them from jumping out ...lolol you are a funny guy..... its fun watching this vid...
Fish Keeping Jamaica haha thanks Ryleigh! I am planning to have panda cories, ground dwellers. They will come up for air though so it is always a risk!
I am starting to put more plants in & will keep you updated soon friend!
This container has a lot of room for the cute cory catfish to play around in.
Thank you for your support!
anytime friend
Fish definitely jump! I had a red tailed shark and I underestimated it’s jumping potential and it jumped out of the tank onto the floor!!
Nice life hack
I like the channel. I subbed. I just ordered some new gear to do a similar setup but with a . going to build a breeder tank.
Hey, Duluth! Thanks a lot. If you get this exact bin, there are some modifications that I had to do. (Cut the filter intake shorter and I also silicone sealed the holes near the handles) Let me know if you come across any issues.
I kinda want to do this but build like a frog enclosure
Fish friends! I love that
Would a heavy duty work? I'm thinking of doing one for my patio for the summer qnd and take it inside for the winter
I’m not sure what heavy duty entails. I know a lot of people have been making ponds out of those Oval shaped watering troughs made for livestock with great success
In the beginning of the video he said to get the lid but at the end of the video he didn’t have a lid on.? Did it bow?
Nice couple god bless you
Love love the tank..i have the same bin but the filter I just got doesn't fit because it's like 6inch deep lol which filter do u think I could use
Hey, Michael! I hope you try it out as well. Planning to stock it soon.
I use an aqua clear 30. You’re right. It is too short in height. There was a second piece that came in the intake and I just kinda cut it off and placed a prefilter sponge onto it. You can find prefilter sponges at Petco for $3. It’s called the Fluval Chi prefilter sponge! If you need any pictures or a more indepth explanation you can email me @ neighborhoodman323@gmail.com
@@neighborhoodman323 ugh thanks u so much in gonna get it tomorrow lol
A zoo med canister filter
Where dem fishy boyz????!
I'm debating on making something like this for my axolotls.
That would be awesome! I would look into the plastics integrity overtime in colder water. Those black rubber maid tubs would probably be your best bet
did you do it? i'm looking into the same
Where can I buy this exact container? Do you have a link to it?
C C. I got it from Home Depot!

Hi Alan. Thanks for the interest in my channel. You intro vid is hilarious. Returned the favor
Fishman hahaha thanks man! Ryleigh showed me your channel. I have a lot of catching up to do!
I need subs
Hi, I have a similar fish tank can you pls recommend a filter to fit in a shallow water tank?
Emily Elliott yea! So what I did was use a hang on back , removed the long intake and put an intake sponge on it. However, I found it gunking up so often.
My sponge filters work best in these types of tanks. It has to be the ones that set on the tank floor though, not the wall suction kinds.
neighborhoodman323 thank you so much, I wasn’t expecting a reply. I wish I could tag a photo for you. I have purchased a floor filter on amazon than you x
@@emilyelliott1712 I always try to reply! No problem. If you find it to be too noisy, come talk to me again or look up sponge filter modification videos =)
How long are you using tank for and what tank type too get thankyou
It's still up! So probably 2 years now. I got it from home depot/lowes. I'm sure you could find this in any hardware store. I've seen it at walmart, too
Ok thank you so much uk
neighborhoodman323 please, we need another update!!!!
Great idea, but make sure that the plastic is food grade. Only if you want to use a heater
Food grade = BPA free right? I made sure to research if Sterilite was BPA free and it was! Thanks for the heads up
How do you know if it's food grade got mine today grade 5
@@jwoodard621. Hi, #5 is polypropylene, that's considered to be the safest plastic there is. It's also the most heat resistant. I only ever use #5 as aquariums. The food grade icon is a glass and a fork.
Hello may i ask where do you get your light?
Of course! It's a nicrew light. You can find them on amazon. Really affordable and i've had no issues. For a 28 inch long I think it was 36? But for their 10 gallon tanks are only 18-25 dollars.
@@neighborhoodman323 ah okay thanks so much! :) I'll go check it out. Nice video btw!
Oh and btw, can i place my anubias in the air but the roots are submerged in the water
@@Acidicjellyfish Yes you can! It may melt at first. But once it has acclimated to the emmersed form, it will grow much faster due to the constant supply of CO2 in the air.
@@neighborhoodman323 okay thanks so much! My friends said that their anubias grew flowers on top!
Hi Alan... really well done! I love the tub tank. what will go in there?? You are such a lovely couple!! 💦💙😁💦
DebTim A CANADIAN Girl i originally was thinking about a guppy pair and shrimp. But now i think i want all cory catfish. They are my favorite fish!! Haha thanks michelle loves being in these video projects of mine
yes! i think cories would love this setup.
I create outdoor container pond, what will happen if i dont use filter ? Or its fine..
Thanks
Hey, Thanks for commenting! So, a pond without a filter IS possible, but it can be a bit more difficult to maintain. IT can be possible with enough pond plants to keep the oxygen levels good and for waste conversion. You'll probably also need some type of aeration device like a bubbler. This will prevent the water from going stagnant where biofilms from oftentimes harmful bacteria can build up on the surface of the water. You'd probably have to also do more water changes as well. If you can get a filter, that would be your best move. Hope that helps - Alan
@@neighborhoodman323 thanks for answer, i think im gonna make some DIY filter using aerator.
Thanks anyway
Zena Sound for sure! I made a sponge filter with some PVC and some sponge and some airstones. Best of luck
Hey, i have the exact same rack as you do how funny.
Nice! I got mine at a hardware store. I found the wood it came with was prone to water damage. I had to cut out solid wood boards to use as the shelves instead. I hope your shelf stays stable and safe! -Alan
I want to do this for a temporary redtail catfish home but sadly my parents don't want me too but I have to rebel lol
Parents can't do anything about it if they come home one day and it's already set up ;))))
@@neighborhoodman323 haha its funny you say that because they retired
I was adopted and my dad is 60 my mom is 57 so they always are on watch if I'm not downstairs
Listen to your parents, but is that the Amazon Red Tail Cat? The one that gets up around 100lbs? You may need to get a swimming pool.
hello mr neighborhoodman i shall do this and make THE ULTIMATE BUDGET GOLDFISH POND and no one can stop me to prevent the bin from bending i shall solidify it in concrete (or another thing) 👍 its going on my floor that's tile so it should be fine
Would I be able to keep a single goldfish in one of these? Great video 👍
JoshuaCapell Hey, Josh! Thank you, sir! Are you talking fancy gold fish? I wouldn’t recommend common goldfish, but i bet you’d be able to keep a small, younger fancy gold fish in there until it gets a little bigger! The depth is only about 6-7 inches which isn’t too high. So the answer is yes but only temporarily!
neighborhoodman323 thank you I was talking about a common goldfish. This is because the size container I am getting is a 50Gallon tub. Also what filtration should I use for a tank like this? Thanks for the reply 👍
JoshuaCapell make sure you have the really strong tubs! In my video I highlight my previous failure by getting a 30 gallon container with plastic that had weak structural integrity. I definitely think you’ll be able to keep a couple of common gold fish in that 50 gal tub for a year or two or even longer!
I would fill it up with water for a week and see if it bows or not.
As for filtration, a hang on the back or sponge filters should suffice. Good luck! That sounds like a fun project
neighborhoodman323 thanks. I’ve got two sponge filters and a powerful air pump!
JoshuaCapell Yep! That’ll definitely suffice
I think I might make one because my guppy is pregnant.😀👍
How much did this all cost?
Australian Bleach honestly, The tub doesnt save you much money in terms of volume. But for the unique shape, it’s cheaper than an expensive low rise tank. Fish keeping is pretty expensive:
Tub:~$15
Sand: $15(50 pounds though)
Dragon Stone: $25
Aqua clear filter: $30 (but varies)
Nicrew 28 inch light: $37
Total: around ~$122?? Sorry it’s 5 am and i just woke up and did the math in my head :D
There are some ways you can save money: use a lamp for light source & price check online prices to store prices at petco/petsmart
@@neighborhoodman323 thanks man my price range is around 200 so this is pretty good. Btw love the videos and the tank turned out great
Australian Bleach thank you! I’ve been working on an update video for it, will do it once I finally stock it with something! Let me know how your project turns out
Australian Bleach there’s containers on amazon that are really good and won’t bow out. And they’re fairly large like 60 quarts.
Thomas can u give the link
Can you put dwarf frogs in something like this
Graham Bielby definitely. Just make sure you use the lid. You can cut out the inside of the lid for top viewing just make sure the sides are covered so they dont jump out
Screw the tank....give us a look around the girlfriend
Would this work for turtles?
It would be too small for most turtles. I think it would even be small for stink pot turtles!
No turtles are gross and they stink
Can I add a common goldfish medium size and 2 mini black moor In this tank this size ?? Please respond
Cristian Gutierrez hey, Cristian! This is a 14 gallon tank. With the substrate, rocks, and lowered water level (because holes in the handles), it’s probably only 10 gallons. Due to the low volume and low height, I would not recommend adding common goldfish in anything smaller than a 50 gallon in the long run. Even then, they’ll outgrow it. I personally think common goldfish should be in khoi ponds as they can reach over a foot long. As for the fancy goldfish, the black moors, I would also not recommend adding them in here because of the low height and volume. Petco is currently having a dollar per gallon sale if you want to get a 30 gal tank for your 2 black moors. Sorry, I know this isn’t the greatest thing to hear, but it’s about what’s the best for your pets! Thanks for commenting let me know if you have any other concerns
Thank you helped a lot
You could try Dr Bronner's baby soap or something similar for cleaning- it's very mild!
Put crabs in there
They would look good in there
@@Coltjefferson Thanks for the suggestion! I'll definitely look into thai micro crabs. Last I checked, they were expensive though

Wheres the fish?
Hello, I was cycling it at the time. You can see an updated video posted on my channel!
