Came across so many DIY Aquarium videos on YT but this video is by far the best, specially on the two methods (dry/wet) that you've show of scraping the silicone, absolutely loved it!!!👍🏻🤟🏻

Such a wonderful and scary video. My silicoln work is so terrible and I don't trust myself for any diy projects anymore, rather hire a pro. Can't wait for the next video

Thank you Ray. That's why I'm using masking tape to make neat silicone line, you just need to try it, I'm sure you can make it as good as me

@@ShrimpMania Dude! I appreciate your encouragement, but you have YEARS of wood working and building in your muscle memory. I can tell by how smoothly you moved. Don't sell yourself short. You have skills that most folks do not have! (BUT they should all try. That's how you get better!)

@@kernalbert4939 well said thank you for kind words, yes I have years of experience as a carpenter this is what I do for a living. Now I can use my DIY skills in my aquarium hobby and hopefully it helps others people as well

Hi there loving your videos! Are you using optiwhite glass here or just standard glass?

@ShrimpMania 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, I'm just using a cheapest 4mm window glass

@shahinsafari620 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Happy to find your channel 👌🏿🤤 I have a question Whats your tank sizes? And suggestions on approporiate size?

@ShrimpMania 2 жыл бұрын

It depends and If you want to keep Caridina shrimp then the bigger the tank is better. 50L or more I would say

Love the truck, I am a Ford truck guy myself. You have enough sandpaper for a lot of tanks. 😂 Great video, is it special glass, or just window glass?

@ShrimpMania 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Steve, trucks are for real men😂 I wish I can buy American version of Ford track they look so cool and I think they even slightly bigger but they are very rare in Europe. It's just cheap window glass I was using 4mm (1/6 of an inch) thick

do you prefer glass or acrylic?

glass for sure, acrylic is very easy to scratch

INFORMATIVE VIDEO BUT MISSED MOST IMPORTANT PART GLASS DIMENSIONS SPECIALLY ITS SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN DETAIL ALL THE 3 METHODS

@ShrimpMania 8 ай бұрын

You can calculate the glass dimensions to your exact specific size from the formula I flashed on the screen at 0:55 but for that, you need a calculator and a little brain I hope you have both

@newfish4552 8 ай бұрын

@@ShrimpMania it's not about me I have been doing it for some time now . however there are many beginners who look at your videos for guidence. So I think you should have emphasize more on measurements. Also their are 3 methods as I mentioned which you could have emphasize upon however it's your video and your choice.

Is this guy German? He's both extremely thorough & thoughtful with the information he presents. Reminds me of the way 'German Engineering' is considered to be high in prestige, which is why I ask. Either way, I'm very happy to have found this channel! Just subbed & I'm looking forward to the next video; going to binge the rest of this channel while I wait! (:

m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hZiGm8x5mLXZYKs.html if you watch this, the side panels connect to the side of the base on all four sides, not sat on top if the base.. but to be honest.. this only really matters on biggers tanks

I know I have one of my tank made that way, but this method I'm using is work well for me and I think it's a bit easier to do. I don't see much of the difference if be honest

Yeah i agree.. for smaller tanks it is fine

A pair of pliers are a much better option for breaking the small cut! Terrifying watching you break it with your thumb! Great video otherwise 👌

@ShrimpMania 14 күн бұрын

I found that I often break the glass in the wrong place when I'm using the pliers. It happens if you apply too much pressure. So the hands work better from my experience

12:43 wet your finger with your spit and it makes it smooth out better also keeps it off your wet finger. issue with it is you can only do it one line at a time, so you must clean off the finger after (maybe not considering you have this taped and the extra on the finger may not matter), but because of the spit it wont stick to the skin. the silicon isnt water soluble. fyi i subbed, thanks for your help, many thanks from arkansas usa
