This is atleast 2k if not 3k if brought from a store. Yet this wonderful bro, made it for 800$. Talk about savings.

Hi Joey, I am in the process to build me the same aquarium you did. The one with plywood bottom and 4 glass. I'm building it just like yours. Thanks. YOUR THE BEST!!!!!

WOW.. Your wife must really love you. Taking up a whole room for an aquarium. I'm looking forward to seeing the build.

An easy way to build aquariums: HOW TO: Build an aquarium the easy way

I really like how you go through, explain, and share your thought processes with us. Excellent video

Just showed my dad some of your videos, I have a feeling we have one massive project in our future because of this series you've made.

Watching some vintage Joey...

nice, a great acuarium for an island layout ! looking forward to see the others 5 parts.

Pure inspiration right here! This is an INCREDIBLE build! Thanks so much for posting this series!!

Huh! Interesting Concept! Swimming with your fish… :) That tank is Huge!!! Awesome!!!

hey peoples don't use any bad words here, uarujoey doing a great job and it's always inspiring ..

Hi, first of all I must appreciate of what you are doing and keep it up :) I actually want to build in-wall aquarium. The measurement I want are as follows 54" x 24" x 48" (HxDxW) I was thinking to make a wooden frame and fit the glass on both sides (front and back). The suggestion/help I need for you is what glass thickness should I use? Also as I'll be using plywood for the sides. To waterproof this, is liquid rubber good choice to go with? Or should I stick glass on the sides as well on top of plywood? No issue with budget... Looking forward for your reply. Thanks

Nice. Looking foreway to see the finish projet. Great job so far.

Very nice vids, thanks for posting! I kept dart frogs and i love building false backgrounds and bottoms for them, but soon i was thinking about building my own tank or aquascape/viv/terrarium combo. I subbed!

First off i love your set up and your videos. I am getting back into the fish keeping hobby and would like to know how big of an aquarium can go on the 2nd floor. I live in a much older home which i heard were more sturdier then newer homes and i have a spot picked out for the tank against a load bearing wall.

Sweet pad, and surrounded by awesome aquariums! You go boy!!

My favourite part of the hobby is when you release the fish into the new environment, although it might be one of the last stages, its still worth it :P

Wow, you are incredible! Awesome aquarium!

Indoor Swimming Pool for the kids! Awesome built as always. Thanks for the How to info

Nice aquarium! Can't wait to see the rest of the series!! Waiting for the plumbing!!

Excellent build

Looks awesome.

Your discussion was invaluable, as I'm dreaming of a similar project when we buy our house next year.

Phenomenal tank Joey! This is exactly the size and style I am ready to build. If you could tell me a good place to start looking for glass panels. Please! That is all I need some help with. Thankyou,James

Have you thought of using bed liner for waterproofing the bottom? you know the spray on stuff they use to line pick up truck beds

Very neat thought process :D

Wow I’m so freaking excited that I’ve been watching for years but now I’m actually watching the DIY videos to build my own stuff finally!!

Joey, you are amazing! i love your DIY solutions, a real money saver

Looks amazing! Can't wait till next Sunday. I hope you include a video with the fish you eventually fill the tank with!

Holy crap man. Ive been planning a new build and wanted a 72x72x24 aquarium. I cant believe you have one and you even show how to build it. You effing rock dude.

You know this would be a perfect aquarium for a japanese home. I mean they mostly sit on the floor and this would be just the perfect hight. Food for thought.

Been looking forward to your newest project after the teaser. You certainly didn't disappoint! Nice clean looking tank you've built, can't wait to see the rest of the series.

Superb video, looking forward to following the series.

Good afternoon I'm from Portugal and I wonder how can I calculate the thickness of acrylic to build an aquarium. Thank you and congratulations on the excellent work

GREAT WORK very creative

Its AWESOME! It would be perfect to use as a marine aquarium with lots of SPS since its not so high and you wouldnt need that much light, and you can look inside from all four sides. But PLEASE dont make it a bare bottom tank, it will look so much nicer with even a thin layer of fine sand, some mangrove-like roots with some plants tied onto the roots (not in the ground), just like the stingray aquarium in the "Aqua Terra Zoo" in Vienna! Thanks for making this videos.

Very helpful in all areas of my endevor into my plan for a 200 to 250g Planted Tank, I liked ur vid so much, that if i dont build one myself, you might be the guy i woulu have build me that 250g tank, Halla Back....

I've built some of the filters you showed and the wet dry sump. I can't wait to try something like this!

Thanks for the videos got my 30in. Wide 20in. Tall & 4 1/2 in. Thick fish tank built & it looks awesome

very cool awesome job!

I am so glad i found your channel. U sir are AMAZING. When i saw that tank I couldn't believe it. Sadly I don't have the space or funds to maintain a tank that size but that would be so awesome to have.

Cant wait to see it stocked

Uarujoey, i watched this video a few years back and now i decided to build a 6'x6'x3' just like yours now because i wanted to keep Red tailed catfish... May I ask can I just use two pieces of 6'x3' and brace it using the euro bracing technique as my bottom?

Joey's old diy build videos like these are very interesting even if I have watched it 10 times

keep it up ,good work

looking forward to it!

Awesome Build !!!! Can't wait to see the entire series ... Please upload the next part ASAP !!!!

i take it the other parts are not uploaded yet? your videos are so good!

Your camera work, commentary, and flow of your videos have improved immensely from your earlier videos. Keep 'em coming!

thats nice. i mean , its really good that there are still some people who do their hobby for fun and to enjoy themselves , and not to make money out of it.

looks awesome

This got me over thinking building mine into my home.. great great tips

Considering building an 8ft long tank for my basement. I can't wait to see the rest of your videos!

Hi Joe, could you plz tell us about the best brands of silicone available for aquariums.. thanks

Im gonna enjoy this series. thanks Joey

You are the best and very inspiring. I’m want to make a very long and short aquarium.

Hey Joe, glass tends to get a bit more dangerous when used for tanks any larger than this so I was wondering if you knew if there is there a material out there that acts similar to Acrylic but cannot be scratched (or at least is as scratch resistant as glass)? I'm looking into building a 500 gallon (long aquarium) for my baby Common Pleco :D

do you have to brace using glass or if you make a wooden frame that goes round the top which is waterproofed would that not act as a brace also??

Looking good Joey!

What do you do for a living to have such a nice house and keep up a these aquariums??????! awesome vid cant wait to see more!

Hi uarujoey. Very beautiful fish tank. Good and effective way to savings. :) Do you have any fish there now? It will be great to see fish living in you aquarium and your custom build lighting in live. Are you going to post video with fish in your tank? Thank you.

I can imagine.... +500 gal tank, houses a few neon tetras lmao

Great series Joey, and nice crib you got there

Wow thats huge! Will it be a bare bottom tank or will it have decorations?

very envious of your amazing work!! keep it up man

perfect for a koi fish..

great tank man

Sweet build and system ive raised fish as a hobby for Over 35 years my largest tank to date. Was a 2 piece tank of 250 gallons total it was. Acrylic and i got it for free because a freind of mines Dad got it for free as a part of a remodel then my freinds wife didn’t. Want. It any longer in the decor so all i had to do was remove the 2 tanks and all of the components by a certain time frame i say was because of a medical condition i had to leave the tanks in a residence i lived in temporarily recovering from the health issue i do plan on building my next tank out of glass and around the same size of yours but a different. Design Probably. Similar. Construction a i am a retired Wood worker with over 20 years of professional woodworking experience And more than that as a hobby and passion of mine i am very much a DIYer and it includes building some of my furniture as well

Joe: Merry Christmas. Always great videos from you. I was wondering about your thoughts on an aquaponics system for this 500 plus gallon aquarium. Using solar and wind power to run pumps the amount of water you will change will be dramatically reduced. I'd be interested in your concept, pros and cons, of such a system. You do the best videos. Thanks.

You sound very Canadian :)

excited to see what you're gonna put in it!

Cool build... i love it. Was wondering how you think this tank would hold up with tile instead of pond shield at the base of the tank? Maybe one of your builds you could try that (if at all possible) Would love to see. I watch all of your videos and must say that you are great at what you do.

AWESOME!!!

amazing video

Hey would you still recommend this process for this size of an aquarium?

Hi @The King of DIY .... where can i get glass for building aquariums online? Thank you so much for the video upload :-)

hey Joe, I have a lot of pieces to scrap and the scraping doesn't remove much material at all per pass. The acrylic is 1/2" would that be the cause? BTW your videos are great. Your the reason Im trying to do this on my own.

Can't wait to see the next vid. DIY.Awesome!

Nice!!

Hey Joey, I've just found a really good light source for aquariums its called induction lighting. It seems to be making my corals and plants very happy , it has a natural color light and it produces almost no heat, Seriously Dude you can handle a lit 200 watt bulb with your bare hands. Just something for you to research if your interested. I replaced a 400 watt MH and a 400 watt HPS with two 200 watt induction lights my reef has never looked so good and my chiller never runs anymore.

Hey joey I jus got in fish tanks as a hobby and I really enjoy it......ur videos are really helpful in every aspect. ...but i do have a question can use this pond armor on a full plywood fish tank instead of the liquid rubber appose to ur last one that u did

Have you ever tried using your hobby to help people get fish tanks that don't have the money to purchase the expensive ones. Considering the fact that you are good at it have you thought about making a living out of it since you are so good at it. I love your work so thats why i was asking.

Hi man what kinda glass name plz,and where i can buy that glass

dont u think its about time u had uarujoey2: the display channel? ;)

ur awesome dude keep up the good work

Hi Joey, I have a problem, & I really hope you can help. Recently I got a used 55 gallon glass tank. The tank had been used to keep tortoises for quite awhile, & at some point, the tank sprung a leak. It has some 'repairs' that are quite, um messy. Joey, there is silicone EVERYWHERE ... the corners look as tho a vegas showgirl exploded. I know, I shouldn't have bought it, but it was $10! So, can you do a video about cleaning up and fixing a sloppy patch on an old leak?

Wow love this cant wait for the other videos

Awesome tank Joey, but one question remain in my thoughts. will the condensation be a problem? being such a large volume of water theres got to be alot of evaporation. And im guessing its gonna be heated tank right?

I'd be happy with half this size but its awesome, would this build hold up for salt?

how on earth are glass panels handling that kind of pressure? it's not just extremely thick glass, is it? couldn't see any braces apart from the plywood trim at the top. curious to see how you did that!

I love your vids! :D keep up the awesome work man!

Nice job Joey! Can't wait till next week!

Wow that is amazing! You have a very tolerant wife that allows you to build and keep so many aquariums :-)

u always put up diy videos but can you also post updates of ur tanks? tnx.

Yeah i need to see this!

When is the next vid?!!! Very exited for this one!

Plz say the thickness of the glass ?

I love that tank!!!!!

I keep watching this video, can't wait until I can have a ray tank like this one!
