I agree. When you do something just because you think people want to see it, it’s not as interesting. When you build something you are excited about trying, it’s a lot more enjoyable to watch
The 2,000g looks amazing, so nice to hear your passion for the humble tiger barb. I for one would quite happily watch video after video of preparations, decorating, stand builds, setups, chemistry, scaping, cycling, unbagging and chats, with the building changing around you as you work, so please record everything in this fantastic project, if it comes from the heart it will be great.
You always gotta love Joey for his videos, I can still remember when he had the arowana in the 2000 years ago and even when Frank entered the 2000 gallon. Ahhh the memories.
Small suggestion for the archers. Since you want to display their natural “archery”, I think Tanner from Sherpa could make an amazing Chinese water dragon/archer fish paludarium! Just say
I love your DIY videos and I am constantly using them as reference materials and trying something different in my craft. I've recently started watching your fish videos and am starting to watch more. Keep on keepin on!
Cory from aquarium co op, has a webcamp pointed at the tank with his big puffer. Something similar could be done with the 2000 gallon. And it is quite beautiful in its current state.
The reason we love watching your videos is because you do it from the heart and have passion for it. As long as you continue to follow your heart. We will all continue to follow you through this journey.
Have been a sub for a LONG time. Been around for a lot of the ups and downs. I wouldn't lie and say I've watched every single video since subscribing, but I have always loved the channel. I am excited for the move and content to come. The most entertaining thing on this channel for me is when Joey is genuinely excited, passionate, and motivated. Even if it's simple stuff like when you launched the shirts with the arowana wrapping around. You were noticeably excited. Makes for great content. As only 1 subscriber I say just keep doing what you want and what makes you excited. I'm here for it.
Just want to add that if it wasn't for your aquarium build videos, I wouldn't have a self built acrylic aquarium right now. I personally loved those videos
You know what I loved, your series on the Neolamprologus similis office build. It was just really simple, went through the entire process of building the tank, stocking and how to adapt tanks to a functional space. Feel like it was a lot more personal. In fact it encouraged me to get into aquaria
On a side note...And yet not one aquarium youtuber has mentioned the importance of a center brace on the top of a big tank. The other day I just about had a used 55 gal glass tank blow out in our livingroom because it was missing the center brace. It was bowed out in the center by over an 1 1/2"! Thank goodness the seals where good. 😄 Methinks more tank construction and buying info is needed on UA-cam... such as details on what to look for and avoid with regards to buying used aquariums.
You should research into my channel a bit more. I show how to make them, remove them, the different types, etc. I have shown countless builds over and over again. Then wrote a book on it all.
This is the best show and tell you did Joey hahaha because how you described your fishes behavior I can feel your calm and as you i'm just beside you as you want to introduce your passion and beautiful pets
Is my favorite Tank that you have. Tiger Barbs are my favorite fish ever! Is sad you can't take it too but you could always build another with all 4 sides showing in the middle of you new Gallery 😇😁 Congrats and Good luck with all you are doing! 😊
Joey the DIY builds is what brought me here I just stayed for the fish haha thank you for the awesome videos joey take care I'll still watch as long as I can :)and 30k likes? Idk lol haha
maybe film a 1-2 hour timelapse kinda thing of the tank as a goodbye to it, so we can always watch that to remember it and the history it has with the channel
hey Im not sure if I missed your intentions in another episode but you could totally covert the gallery into an extension of your house. You could even repurpose the 2000 gal into a bar/mancave of sorts
I respectfully disagree, it wasn't a mistake; It was really fun to watch and see the big tank over the years! And now the uaru have gotten so big :) ps. I recall you mentioned before that live cams aren't feasible because of internet, but would you be able to upload a longer footage of just watching this tank? Or of the arowana/rays? :)
Turn the fish gallery you have now into a room where you can edit your videos in peace or even use it as a room to be by yourself for a while and calm down. Or turn it into a office
Man I’m super into the aquascape scene now to be honest. It would be amazing if you somehow invited aquascapists or brought in some of that aquascapist hobby into the project as well. Aquascaping for me ultimately revived my passion tremendously, maybe aquascaping truly represents what I was looking for in the hobby but didn’t realize it till now
The 2000 gallon tank evolved well. I like it as it is now. It's a perfect community tank. Enough different species while each has the recommended group size and all have space so it looks very natural. Personally I would try to represent one habitat. For Joey it should be centered around the Uaru.
You should make a old-school style diy "moving large fish room and huge aquarium collection" LoL have you made a diy moving large aquariums video? Most people break their tanks in moves!!
I like the south American community theme idea for the 2000, my fav theme as well. I'd love to know some good Asian oddball bottom dwellers that would be a good match in an archer fish set up, (equivalent to S.A.'s plecos and cories, etc). I'd also love to see you explain how to build communities. The layers and how to choose fish. You've touched on it before and others have done this but to really go in depth. This is one thing new fish keepers struggle with.
I have Green Tiger Barbs with Golden Barbs and Cherry Barbs, and they're all doing great! I love the Tiger Barbs too, because they're so active and entertaining! Anyway, it will be interesting to see the future of the 2000 gallon!
Will you have a dedicated space for temporary exhibitions?? Like for fish contests... or this year this section of the gallery is dedicated to different kinds of discus, the next year for angels, then all kinds of severums and keep with it!!! And so you can have permanent aquariums, and some that will be changing within a theme!! And that would make people go to your gallery every single year!!!
This tank is truly a work of art! I've been to commercial Aquariums, that don't have any tanks of this caliber! I'm actually glad you can't move it, lol! I think that you might be sad breaking it down. Thanks for all the updates, great stuff!❤👍
Joey I would love to watch a 15 minute video of just the 2000 gal tank. I am sure others would too. just a video we don't need narration. it could be labeled ASMR too.
2,000 is all yours Joey. Do what you want and enjoy. I would think your own stingray habitat and a nice lounge chair to sit and enjoy. Make some relaxing time for yourself.
hey Joey, you should build an extension on top of the 2000 gallon tank, make it twice as tall, and with a deeper tank you'd get a better separation along the water column to show off the fish better. it's a great tank but a bit short.
Can't wait to see how the new gallery turns out in 3 or 4 months, and yeah I've got loads of idea's of what fish or biotopes I'd love to see but for some reason I feel after 12 years of watching you, you may have this covered.
I understand what you’re saying but this is the most interesting and amazing tank on UA-cam. I was with you before the gallery started and the way this is stocked now was what I would have done. I’ve always thought a giant tank filled with smaller fish would be awesome and I was right. BTW it always seemed to me one of the reasons your tanks are so successful was your access to good water. Surely your well is a great enabler. What source will be at the new gallery?
This titan is just phenomenon💜 you really don’t need to regret bout that 💜 we will always be your side whatever you do. Cuz its all bout the hobby and hobby is all bout your heart 💜 soo don’t regret and keep it as your near one💜
You should make the old gallery just a hang out area for your kids with a few couches and a hair hockey table or something and have the 2000 as the centerpiece That’s what I would do at least
I really appreciate your channel, I been watching you for years.... My opinion on the 2000 gallon. The Asian arrowna and the stingrays should be in the 2000 gallon. Those are the fish that I want to stay behind. I think it would be cool if you kept them as your personal fish. Give them a name. Have a reason to go into the gallery. I have a lot of respect for you. You have inspired me in so many ways.. I currently have 800 gallons of water in my garage/man cave in fish tanks. I also started a motorcycle UA-cam channel thanks to you. I wish you all the success with your new journey. You are the KING, where not going anywhere. 💯✌
I love the point you made about tank size and fish health. My opinion on what people say you can put in a tank and what you actually should, completely changed when I had Cory's in 100L changed too 300L and they were so much happier and healthier.
You should keep one take just for yourself man, with just your favorites. The 2,000 can't move. So, I vote to turn it back into an arowana/stingray tank that is just for you, but you can film it and show us also, we will not complain lol. Keep up the good work. Love the videos!
Ive always thought a themed aquarium with vines overtop of it would be amazing with the archers. Have the ability to put crickets or bugs in the vines above the tank so that they can feed like in the wild
haters gonna hate but the OG's still gonna watch whatever you build man, we watch your vids because of your passion towards the hobby. Keep doing what you want, we are here to support you all the way
You can knock down the concrete tank, it does not make it a failure, plans change. But what will come of this gallery? You changing it to a garage? Getting a hotrod :)? Cake baking gallery? Art gallery? Man cave? I vote for a man cave with a hot rod :)
Build what you wanna build, man- we’ll still watch regardless. Especially if you’re passionate about it.
I couldn't of said it better. The fish are beautiful.
Word!
Exactly simple as that no more appeasing the viewers.
@@tjb92 I see ppl find their light when they do what they want instead trying to appease others!

If you ever get bored of the South American theme, you might make it into a saltwater mangrove lagoon
that would be cool!!
the archerfish could even stay
That would be stunning 😍😍😍😍
Definitly
Small suggestion for the archers. Since you want to display their natural “archery”, I think Tanner from Sherpa could make an amazing Chinese water dragon/archer fish paludarium! Just say
you could have little fake insects that you could wiggle around near the surface kinda like a cat toy
I love your DIY videos and I am constantly using them as reference materials and trying something different in my craft. I've recently started watching your fish videos and am starting to watch more. Keep on keepin on!
Cory from aquarium co op, has a webcamp pointed at the tank with his big puffer. Something similar could be done with the 2000 gallon. And it is quite beautiful in its current state.
39k likes and he'll get in the 2000 "properly". Clearly that means dressed as Josepi wearing the mermaid suit.
Yes!!! This time with FULL make-up!
YASS!
It was not a mistake lol I love the big aquarium
The reason we love watching your videos is because you do it from the heart and have passion for it. As long as you continue to follow your heart. We will all continue to follow you through this journey.
If you can only have one tank at home, that’s the one to have.
You know whats best! I'll support you what you want to do, plus you being passionate is so lovely to watch
Who wants to see Joey in the lovely mermaid costume one last time?
Personally I’d like to see Joey out of the mermaid suit 😉

I love how much more genuinely excited and engaged you are right now. Do what brings you joy man!
Yes, the 2000 gallon tank is mesmerizing. I love it! It's definitely my favorite!
Honestly the fish selection within that concrete tank is like a living work of art moving around.
Your opening of the public is gonna be on my list of to-do's. As an American, it's a perfect reason to visit Canada!
I started watching right before the 2,000 was finished. I can’t wait to see the builds in the new gallery
Obviously Joey needed to move the gallery so he could turn the 2K into a hot tub.
Just want to add that if it wasn't for your aquarium build videos, I wouldn't have a self built acrylic aquarium right now. I personally loved those videos
you literally have to go swimming if you try to get the corydoras out.😂
You know what I loved, your series on the Neolamprologus similis office build. It was just really simple, went through the entire process of building the tank, stocking and how to adapt tanks to a functional space. Feel like it was a lot more personal. In fact it encouraged me to get into aquaria
The Severums look amazing! All of the fish look really good!
On a side note...And yet not one aquarium youtuber has mentioned the importance of a center brace on the top of a big tank. The other day I just about had a used 55 gal glass tank blow out in our livingroom because it was missing the center brace. It was bowed out in the center by over an 1 1/2"!
Thank goodness the seals where good. 😄
Methinks more tank construction and buying info is needed on UA-cam... such as details on what to look for and avoid with regards to buying used aquariums.
You should research into my channel a bit more. I show how to make them, remove them, the different types, etc. I have shown countless builds over and over again. Then wrote a book on it all.
Name the gallery “Joey Exotic, the fish king of DIY”
This is the best show and tell you did Joey hahaha because how you described your fishes behavior I can feel your calm and as you i'm just beside you as you want to introduce your passion and beautiful pets
Miss seein TINY Tim..even thou we still see him he was unique before the grow up
I absolutely love the current stocking in the 2000. It's just awesome to see that big a community tank.
It always has been my favorite tank simply because of the possibilities. I have to say though, in this configuration it is stunning.
Is my favorite Tank that you have. Tiger Barbs are my favorite fish ever! Is sad you can't take it too but you could always build another with all 4 sides showing in the middle of you new Gallery 😇😁 Congrats and Good luck with all you are doing! 😊
Please, please, please have a very large community tank at the new gallery. Love the 2,000 community!
Joey the DIY builds is what brought me here I just stayed for the fish haha thank you for the awesome videos joey take care I'll still watch as long as I can :)and 30k likes? Idk lol haha
Love the tank set up like this. Fish are gorgeous and thriving.
Hope we get to keep seeing this one regularly once you move
I'm hoping you keep it stocked and running. Maybe something just for you. You deserve it.
maybe film a 1-2 hour timelapse kinda thing of the tank as a goodbye to it, so we can always watch that to remember it and the history it has with the channel
hey Im not sure if I missed your intentions in another episode but you could totally covert the gallery into an extension of your house. You could even repurpose the 2000 gal into a bar/mancave of sorts

JOEY DON'T EVER STOP CREATING BAYBEEEEEEE
Really love that tank! Funny that he fish keep following you around 😁
Turn the fish gallery you have now into a room where you can edit your videos in peace or even use it as a room to be by yourself for a while and calm down. Or turn it into a office
I really like the extra videos

I think the videos is getting better and better. We can feel your energi know. Havent seen this energi since you biuld the first galleri 👊
joey your doing what people love, you won't please every human , that's just life, just keep doing what you are doing .
Will you have a dedicated space for temporary exhibitions?? Like for fish contests... or this year this section of the gallery is dedicated to different kinds of discus, the next year for angels, then all kinds of severums and keep with it!!!
And so you can have permanent aquariums, and some that will be changing within a theme!! And that would make people go to your gallery every single year!!!

i wish that this tank just stays the same after the move its so incredible
Joey I would love to watch a 15 minute video of just the 2000 gal tank. I am sure others would too. just a video we don't need narration. it could be labeled ASMR too.
ooh, return of the Mermaid outfit!!! YAY 😋
Hey joey, love your videos.
Would love a long video with submerged camera of the tank with nice music
You should set up a live camera live steam to the big tank, so that you have a solid drip revenue stream and we have an amazing background. LOL
The color on your Tiger Barbs is more vibrant than any i think I've ever seen. Almost as if they were taking coloring cues from the severums.
Grab a snorkel and mask!!!!!! Thanks for all the great tips and build ideas....always fun to watch and even do some of them!!!
I'm glad you get to keep the 2k for you as your personal tank you more than earned a big tank to stock and scape as you wish
Ping pong or pool table, pinball machine, beer fridge and a bucket in the corner.... Mancave for daaaayys!
Will you be building a lot of the stuff for the new location? Would love some old school DIY Joey vids!!
Some yup! I’m not building the same tank over and over again though. Materials cost too much right now and will take months before I see water
Joey
What are you gonna do with the fish in the Pond, are you gonna keep em at home or are they go with all the other fish???????
🐟🐠🐡🐟🐠🐡🐟
also ideal to be made as swimming pool where you and Tamara can do skinny dip.. lolz
2,000 is all yours Joey. Do what you want and enjoy. I would think your own stingray habitat and a nice lounge chair to sit and enjoy. Make some relaxing time for yourself.

I love that tank. Is so cool. Will be interesting to see what you end up doing with it. Can't wait to see 😍 🙌
Having the 2,000 gallon tank as a quarantine tank will be perfect. You'll still be able to keep a close eye on it when you're home.
This titan is just phenomenon💜 you really don’t need to regret bout that 💜 we will always be your side whatever you do. Cuz its all bout the hobby and hobby is all bout your heart 💜 soo don’t regret and keep it as your near one💜
I think you should turn it into a Joey tank. Turn up the heat to 90 degrees and use it to relax. You can always change it back. Joey's HOT TUB 👍
You should make the old gallery just a hang out area for your kids with a few couches and a hair hockey table or something and have the 2000 as the centerpiece
That’s what I would do at least
Love the big built tank and the beautiful fish. If ever I can move and do the same I would. 👍👍
I really appreciate your channel, I been watching you for years....
My opinion on the 2000 gallon.
The Asian arrowna and the stingrays

We don’t care what you do, we love when you say “let me explain”, because we you love it so, so do we
Love the big community!
Guys! 30k likes! We can do it xD! I wanna see him get in the tank xD!
Use the oldd gallery as a big quarantine setup. So you can quarantine a lot of fish before they go to the new gallery
Joey, so you can't move the big tank........ummm
You can make it BIGGER!!!!!
Can you set a high definition camera for 24*7 for this tank and share online. That would be fun.. 💡💡💡
Well since you're opening a new place for the public. Then maybe make the old gallery for you keep the fish that you want to keep.
Best aquarium in the gallery, not a mistake. Your current stocking is awesome. What happens to the original gallery?
Ive always thought a themed aquarium with vines overtop of it would be amazing with the archers. Have the ability to put crickets or bugs in the vines above the tank so that they can feed like in the wild
I like watching your passion & the love you give to all of them inside👏✨
New gallery you need a larger tank set up than the 2K. Something you can jump in with Scuba. That would be a cool build.
haters gonna hate but the OG's still gonna watch whatever you build man, we watch your vids because of your passion towards the hobby. Keep doing what you want, we are here to support you all the way
Joey, make a an indoor hot tub to relax after long day since you already have it permanent build, some nice couches and TV.
Alternative title- Is my tank too big?😂💀
the huge tank looks amazing. planing on having a similar super big tank in the new place?
You can knock down the concrete tank, it does not make it a failure, plans change. But what will come of this gallery? You changing it to a garage? Getting a hotrod :)? Cake baking gallery? Art gallery? Man cave? I vote for a man cave with a hot rod :)
Or anything that would spawn a youtube channel from you on a non-fish related topic
All that being said !!!
"That's one EPIC personal and home aquarium to have " lol (once everything has been moved over to the new gallery.
I think we all want to see discuss in 2000 aquarium😉Please make that wish happen!
Your videos are so awesome. They got me interested In aquariums.
Nice, a heart
Really ramming the "permanent installations and new gallery" down our throats every video. Keep up the good work Joey!
So a 5 times larger gallery means a 5 times larger 2000g build right ? 😉 love this tank joey . its a masterpiece .
