‎ While Cory may own a giant fish room (aka the "urban fish farm"), he's still an aquarium hobbyist just like us. Find out what he plans to do to clear the water and grow plants in the 800-gallon tank, what fish may need to move out of Elmer the fly river turtle's tank, and why he isn't buying more plants for his mini ponds.

Absolutely! This channel is the reason I do my best to support my favorite LFS. Sometimes they make it hard. I wanted 100 rummynose tetras they are charging $5 per fish while online I can get them anywhere from $2.50 - $3 and in the end saving the couple hundred dollars is hard to pass up. Same with my fluval Fx6 I got it at a big box store for $200 at my LFS it would have been $500

I've been wanting one of your spunge filters for a while, I'll make an order and cut Amazon/eBay out as much as I can for the things I still need. I'll grab the brine shrimp hatcher if it's not outside my spending limit (hope not, I like the idea of growing healthy treats and supplemental food - amazes me that I can grow so many things very well but I struggle with things like duckweed, lol - too much aeration, I think. I encourage others to do the same! Support small businesses such as this one - especially ones that don't mark you up 200-500% like the Marineland near my home. Hard to respect that place due to its corporate BS - but I feel bad and buy beneficial bacteria and etc. there sometimes since it's local. Good for frozen fish food, but not much otherwise. Petco & Petsmart shouldn't even be allowed to sell fish... Wish you were closer to my area!

I love the tote approach and its reasonable for just about any hobbyist. Start with 1 and grow out organically as you can. Cory's done a great job of laying out a map or model for an approach on how to scale. All of that setup can be scaled down or up to be iterative. Love that about this fish room.

Or even put planter boxes that recirculates the water down the middle and put trees or ferns in it. That would be awesome.

Thanks so much for not just showing perfect tanks and setups; it's great to know that we ALL have days when we just DO NOT WANT TO SCRUB. Gonna go to sleep with a smile on my face and dream of my next fishy adventure...

My endlers out bred their 10 g, and I'm not shipping anything until after New Years day, so they are now in a 30 g tote sitting on cinder blocks. I know how to do this from years of your videos. You already know I like these wandering around the fishroom just chatty chatting. Love that you are doing things slow and easy, as you said, like us regular hobbyists have to do. It's encouraging and inspiring. Looking forward to seeing all the plants coming into the fish room. It's going to be so serene and peaceful. I still don't know why, but there is just something so satisfying about watching fish being fed. 👍❤👍

I'm definitely enjoying what the Co-op is doing and I wish someday that I could visit there 🙏🙏 I actually got to order some plants. cryts, anubiys, and some others from them today !! Plus I got a chance to order some of their amazing sponge filters. My favorite by far is the dwarf water lily ❤️ I'm going to have to wait till the next time to get them though, they were out of stock 😭😍❤️🌿🐟🌿💚

I'll probably never go this route or get this big, but your comment on how your Corydorus cleaned up sediment is so true. I had a tank that had sat for a year, just the water and some plants, but there was crazy sediment. I bought twenty Amano Shrimp and six Salt and Pepper Corydorus to help clean up the tank. It took about three weeks and they had it spick and span. My current job is not that much of a project, just setting up a twenty long in our bedroom for my wife. Always a pleasure Cory, take care.

My idea for the 230g aquarium would be to stock it with fish from the Fly River. Melanotaenia goldiei would be amazing but that species is hard to find. Other rainbowfish like rubrostriata and parkinsoni would be great. A large school of Pseudomugil, like the gertrudae, would be great too.

I only have a 15gal tank and am less than a year into actual dedicated planted tanks and so far I struck a great balance of fish (neon tetra school and corys) to where my plants have fought off any algae growth but, there is enough nutrients that I don’t fertilize at all and have to trim my plants about every 6-8 weeks. Not crazy fast growth but solid and steady.

Some ideas for videos as I know you were asking (Some of these are just my ideas, and others I've brought up on forums with interesting conflicting thoughts): Should you keep fish from different continents together. Homemade fish foods Maybe try to bring in newer fish into the American market, and make tutorials on how to breed them (Ex. Macropodus occelatus) Maybe try to make new varieties of fish and document the process of doing that Do you really need water conditioner for well water (For heavy metals etc.) Try new products (A particular one I've been wondering about is the aqua flora, look it up, I'm perplexed) How to breed different fish, maybe bring dean on for that too I would personally be interested in the progression of different takes (Ever see king of DIY, kind of like that, video journals of tanks)
