Please do more just the fish montages!! Wow you really get to see the beauty they possess and how great you camera work is!

I would really like to see you step out of your comfort zone and do a DIY reef tank. I really want to start one and I'd like to see what you come up with.

if you ever do another big aquarium (200gallon +)...could you do a reef tank ? I think that would be tons of interesting learning and you could showcase how to light them properly in order to generate growth in the tank.

You are able to change florescent lights to led by removing the ballast and simply rewiring the tombstones to be one side in, one side out. I recently changed 26 in my garage for 278$

Joey, You should use those google/alexa smart outlet switch, just search it up! with those, you can wirelessly turn on and off, set timer schedule, etc. of anything in your fish room from anywhere, as long as the smart outlet switch is connected to wifi and your phone is connected to internet. (It uses your phone as the remote, you dont have to have a google home or amazon's alexa for it to work) It's pretty cool. Id imagine you can use it for more things than just lights. maybe you can even link it up to pumps in case of flooding. I've had that wireless remote switch you showed in this video and the controller failed on me eventually.

@zily5943 5 жыл бұрын

Hey Great video! However for the smaller pond with the Bass, Why not put an upside down Aquarium on top of it? It might help with the shyness of the fish. Also less place too cover up so they can't Jump out and u can make the Pillars that hold the upside down aquarium into something were the Catfish can hide:) I can only imagine how nice it would be when u work at the gallery the bass would come up too see what you are doing :D

This is the way I do my lights, filters, wave makers, heater, and polishers... I like to have cables hidden as well. So now when I need to do some maintenance, I don’t have to worry about unplugging or looking for any plugs. Just a quick button for it all. Doing it this way has encouraged me to keep a better cleaning schedule as well since it’s easier to do.
