Joey, as a concrete worker I have a few points for you. hope this reaches you before you pour!
1. Please add walers to the exterior of your forms! Add one or two rows all the way around. Over lap them on the corners because these are weak spots.
2. When you pour be sure to vibrate the concrete. This will actually make the concrete stronger and look much nicer.
3. Please tell me you put some kind of form release oil on the plywood before you built it. if not those sheets will come off very hard and the concrete will not look as nice.
4. Assuming the building is warm enough (I'm guessing so since you only have a t-shirt on) it only needs to set 24 hours before you pull the sheets off. you will be able to tell if the top is hard enough before you try but at the very least you can take apart all your braces in 24 hours.
5. make sure to add a way to adjust the forms to keep the whole thing square and plumb after you pour.
Over all the inside looks braced very nice but the outside deffinatly needs walers wrapped around.
jed fussy Nice tips! That's why I Love This hobby so much! It's not just abt the science of Keeping fish and plants! U learn so much more about the science in so many other fields. Really Digging ur professional contribution! An advise from an expert is gonna save Joey a lot money right there! LOL
there's such a diverse group of fish keepers you learn more then you planed on when ever you read the comments lol
As a fellow concrete worker we should also remind him he will be pouring concrete, not cement! drove me nuts hearing it, but great to see this project!
jed fussy lets keep this comment up!
We all learn from everyone that shares...
Hey Joey, HVAC tech here and thought i should chime in. Noticed you plan
on heating the structure with an air source heat pump. Now i do know
you said that the heat pump can run up to -30c, but from my experience
most of them will only operate to between -15c and -25c (-25 being the
coldest operating one i have ever seen before shutting down for cold
weather protection).
The other major issue with a heat pump as primary
heating source is that the heat output it directly dependent on the
exterior temperature. The colder it is outside, the lower btu output of
the heat pump. The capacity of the heat pump at lets say -20c will be
60-75% lower than what the heat pump is generally rated for. Especially
if you plan on using the HRV/ERV to ventilate the structure in the
winter, then this will also add extra heating load as well.
Hopefully you plan on getting some sort of backup or auxiliary heating system installed
with the heat pump. One option that you could possibly do is a separate
infloor heating zone for the rest of the building where the big tank
isnt, or a heatpump that has backup electric heating built in. You could
also look into a through wall self contained electric heat cool unit.
Hope this helps and you planned around this since your going with a heat
pump. Id hate to see you spend all that money for something that is not
adequate for your needs. Goodluck with the build!
Mitch Castellano I commented the exact same thing back when he first mentioned using a heat pump... mind you I didn't explain the issue quite as well as you did but I thought the same thing. Having a backup source for heating this building will be a necessity IMO.
Mitch Castellano I tried going with a heat pump for my outbuilding, wound up having to supplement with oil filled radiant heaters because it doesn't work well enough when it gets really cold
yea I have been posting on all his recent videos so he can see this. I hope he can get the heating situation sorted out before it's too late. Hopefully he finally sees this comment
paulwhite959 I see that same problem all the time. people are sold heat pumps from companies and contractors as a primary source of heating, when in actuality the heat pump should only be and is only capable of supplying auxiliary heat in shoulder seasons. Hopefully he finally sees my comment and gets it all sorted out before they run all the electrical
You have literally saved me hundreds of dollars, I grew up without parents or any type of support system. With getting myself into college and raising two siblings I never was really able to chase any of my dreams. When I found this hobby my dreams went nuts but so many things were so unattainable to me. But seeing all of the content you produce made so many things possible. I am now starting my own 400 gallon PLYWOOD tank because of you and without you that never ever ever would have been a thing and I would never be keeping an arowana or a stingray. I would be more than happy to donate whatever I can come up with to make this possible because without you, most of my dreams would not be possible.
I really hope you read this because I am truly thankful for what you do
Man happy for you very hope you have a got time with your fish tank I've got 5 tanks there all small my bigger one is only 130 litres but in 3 years I am getting a big tank 300-400LITRES
Bunny Buns hey just looking back in some of joeys old vids. Did you get your new tank yet?
How sad.
@@connorfolan7386 no reply typical
CZcams is all about community. The creators make awesome content for the fans and the fans give back in whatever way they can. Its a circle of awesomeness and why I love youtube.
Over $5,000 raised after only one hour!! Ask and you shall receive! What an awesome community!
Over $40k in 15hours. I'm sure Joey is waking up to some good news about now!!
almost 45k, that's awesome
Yeah, never been so happy to see someone get money!! It's a great thing!
You just took my gofundme virginity. All I ask in return is that you'll raise a blue whale in the 2100 :). Go Joey!
Hi Joey, count me in. When I lost my job and career through an injury whilst in the army I was pretty down and your videos, forum and the likes were great. Not only did they give me the opportunity to enjoy a hobby but it away diy and a great enjoyment. You have provided me mindfulness, rehab and a purpose and I really can't put a price on that. I have done it with you weather you knew it or not. I have a shabby set up but I tell you what I have a great healthy looking aquarium with a barramundi and turtle, Cheers mate.
I feel inclined to donate to you Joey. You're the reason I am even in this hobby. A fan for the last 5 years!
I realize how hard it is to ask for help. A little perspective. You have nearly 384,000 subs, average 100,000 + views per video twice a week. The number of people you've helped with motivation, inspiration, education through your passion and knowledge is incredible. Folks on a budget using your DIY's and being able to get into or expand their hobby without dropping a lot of cash. Dude you have nothing to be ashamed about in asking for help. We all need help sometimes and we all know this is going to pay off for us as well. If one third of your subs dropped a buck in the tip jar, one measly dollar, (I'm not sure what that would be in Canuckistani pesos lol) you would hit your goal, no problem. If your weekly viewers were to do that, again you would hit your goal. It's not like you're asking anyone to take out an equity loan on their home to pitch in. Although, looking at the gofundme, some mighty nice donations have already come in, over $3k in an hour.
Relax, go hug the Queen, the kids, have a nice Sunday dinner and enjoy your popularity.
And you're not obligated to put a dollar in the tip jar. Just take what you want for free, just saying. He has plenty of fans that want to help.
am i the only one continuously refreshing his gofundme page to see how much progress has been made?
Techi Meshi I'm also checking the campaign every hour or so. I'm proud of us diy fish keepers 😀
Im so pumped I update it almost 1 ever 2 hours. XDDD
already 25k.
Joey it'll will work out for you and in the end all the ups and downs will be worth it!
Seeing a person with your kind of philosophie considering this hobby/lifestyle being able to reach and educate so many people is something truly great!
Wishing you best luck and I hope you are able to continue following YOUR way as long as it's possible.
Sincerely, a German guy who's been inspired by you work for years running a 550gal installation at the age of 21.
You kidding me? Do you know how much money you've saved me in this hobby over the last several years? I'll gladly pitch in.
Eric K same here ... saved me thousands of dollars. 100% behind this effort and have made my donation 👍
Eric K same here ! I'll share your struggles with Russian watchers. It will possible help you as well a little bit ! Thank you for that you're doing!
For the amount of hours of entertainment, inspiration and knowledge you have shared, you'll get the funding in no time. I can send some cash your way. Don't feel bad for asking for help, I'm sure all your fans want to see you succeed with this build just as much as you do. Thanks Joey!
hes saved me thousands of dollars
the hell
I believe this gallery is something that needs to happen. The hobby needs it. The hobby needs Joey. As humble as he is he does more for this hobby than every fish store employee combined. This one gallery could help save the life and suffering of countless future fish and help inspire generations of future fish keepers! I've been itching to give you money since you announced you were building this thing. Now I'm delighted that I can! Not out of pity, but because now I can say that I helped in a very small way to create something amazing! Keep the GoFundMe open after you 300% reach your goal and you'll see just how much the people of this hobby support you. I do!
That is an excellent way to put it. We're all in this. We WANT to contribute.
About your latest gofundme comment... You don't need to give a big thanks, joey. You are a good man, and a true aquarist and are doing amazing things for this hobby. If it wasn't for you, I think I would have given up on it already. You saved a poor guy a bunch of money by showing us your DIY skills. I'll be donating at the end of the month as soon as I can, I'd be happy to help out. Congrats on the amount you've raised already!
Joey, dont be ashame or nervous to ask us for help when clearly you have been the one there to help and guide us through this hobby.
We got you Joey. Thanks for allowing to give back to you for all the help you have given the hobby.
You're one of the most interesting people I know
Thats an interesting comment to make! Im rather boring... but my hobby is awesome! haha
The king of DIY I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS im also going to donate
Joey I know you may not get a chance to read all your comments but know that you are not just receiving help from us, in reality we FINALLY get the pleasure and privilege to show YOU how much you truly help us in the hobby with your videos. I can't tell you how exciting it is to get that notification on my phone that you've uploaded new video. Thanks to you I've been able to get into a hobby I've always loved and admired but never thought I could actually do. I am so excited to see this Gallery complete in all its glory! So thank you Joey to you for all the great content, advice, tips etc and thank you to your family for allowing us, your viewers, to share this hobby and build with you
"Giving" walks hand-in-hand with "receiving". Simple. You give alot of you time, talent, & treasure. Thanks for the opportunity to be apart of this cool educational project! ;D {You know humility is power under control} Joey, you're doing pretty good. ^_^ No victims here, just a group of peeps coming together to make a good thing happen! :) I've received lots of inspiration, ideas, and encouragement watching your videos. I'd be glad to contribute to see the Fish Gallery build finish debt free!!!
I spend a small fortune on cable TV, yet have enjoyed watching many hours of your channel for free. More than happy to help. Good luck.
so proud of you accepting our help, and so proud of everybody who already donated!
such a wonderful community
I'm donating money because I want you to do the things that I couldn't/can't do. There is a part of me that imagines that I am doing everything you do and it brings a smile to my face. So my money isn't for pity at all, it is so I can watch someone do what I really wanted to do and that brings a smile to my face.
Also I agree with the others that posted to not shut down your funding even if you hit your goal. Do some more outrageous projects with it or even get some rare fish that you have always wanted to try out. I've been watching you for a long time and I can't even imagine how much money you have saved me. Keep up the great work!
omg we've raised so much in just 10 hours. this community is amazing!
Joey, you will have that $85k in no time. You are surrounded by great people here. Sent you a little something too. Oh, just as others said already; keep the donation open, even after you have raised the 85k. Such efforts you are doing for all us fish lovers needs to be rewarded. :)
Pitching a few dollars to have some unreal videos in the future was an easy choice. Hope you hit your goal man! Best of luck!
Hey man thanks for reaching out! As fans it nice to help!
So happy to be able to help! You are inspirational and have helped me so much in the hobby!!
Daaamn, people donated 10 k in 1 hour, awesome job guys! Gogogo help Joey!! This will be epic :)
I don't own any pets not even a gold fish, but i love watching your videos and oddly enough i'm subscribed. I will be donating just because i want to see your dream realized. I can understand the situation you're in and i want to help because i enjoy the videos so much.
The fact that you don't own any pets means you have the most money among us here. :D Thanks btw!
I have not been here from the beginning...but for the last 6 months or so I have looked forward to you videos every week....this is from a person who struggles to keep a few standard goldfish happy. You are a wonder to watch, as you are very skilled in your hobby. I am a nurse...that is where I succeed. I care for people everyday who do not want or ask for my help. There is never any shame or bad feelings to let settle in your heart over asking for help from those of us that you allow into your life multiple times a week. I hope you reach your goal. I can't wait to see how your gallery comes along.
After watching many of your videos, it is clear how genuine and passionate you are. I will gladly support you in making this dream become reality.
Awesome progress!!!! I am so excited to see the progression over the next few years.
I'm sure he's quite capable of aquascaping that 375 by himself, but it would be SOO MUCH COOLER if you went up there to help with that!! What an AWESOME collaboration that would be! 😀💙 Much love to you both!
haha, I would love to visit Joey! We will see what the future holds!
Excellent excellent idea!!!!
that would be an awesome thing to see. his video with Solid Gold was great... now he needs to visit the fish pimp... :)
Thanks for the lead to Rachel O'leary's page. I did not know of her.
There was a deer behind you!
VACATRON THEMIGHTY I saw that too I thought it was fake but idk
We have a bad deer problem. ALWAYS deer in my yard, killing everything.
That kinda sucks. Btw Im a huge fan, thinking of starting my first tank from scratch following ur vids. Love your work and best of luck with the new fish room!!!
RIPPER334 Hell yeah
The king of DIY this might sound weird but a good way to keep deer away from garden etc is to make a little bag from nylons and put human hair in it that's what my aunt did with her peas worked like a charm!
of course we're going to help you Joey, you have saved each of us tremendous amounts of money on this hobby! i cant wait to see the new videos coming from all of this! youve inspired me so much through all your videos! i had a 60 gallon with 4 guppies and lost interest in it. then i was searching for DIY fake plants, then i watched another video, and another... now i have 7 tanks, lots of fish, and the peace i get from just sitting down and watching them is totally worth it!
Thank you Joey!
60k in one day! That's amazing! It should show you how much we all love and support you and your hobby!!
A donation to continue this project and support you is a no brainer. Admission to the future gallery is how I see it! Never give up dude.
Hey Joey a little tip for you. Go around the wooden form and fill all the screw heads with silicone rubber. This will stop the screwheads getting filled with concrete. When you come to remove the form just push the screwdriver head through the rubber and bingo.
Cant believe it's happening so quickly! Thanks for taking us with you on this journey. We're all happy to help.
Omg! Nearly $30,000 in 6 hours! The outpouring of support is amazing. I'll try to spare some as well when I get my next paycheck!
I would love to see a mudskipper and archerfish paludarium
Finally i can contribute!
Hi Joey,
My name is Gavin, I live in California, and I've been watching your videos for the last 4 months and I'm hooked!
I just wanted to say that your videos are absolutely inspiring! I'm not a fish keeper at all, in fact I have a passion for reptiles. However, your videos always keep me coming back. The way you carry yourself and the inspiration you emit for education has kept me entertained and begging to see more! The passion you have for the animals brings me so much joy! I'm currently in school to become a veterinary technician, and animals are a huge part of my life. I'm extremely excited to see what your future holds for you and I wish I had something to contribute. Your videos have inspired me to think about starting a similar channel for reptile keepers (who knows if I'll get around to it).
All in all, I really appreciate what you do and thank you! From one animal lover to another, keep up the awesome work, and I hope that one day I can shake your hand!
Sincerely,
Gavin Bagley
So glad I can give back and support. You've done so much for this hobby... thanks joey!
10 EUR donated, the amount of hours of your videos that I watched certainly make up for that easily
The world needs more Joey's following their dream. Donated.
Happy to support your work, Joey. I have learned so much from watching your videos...and been entertained through the process!
First time ever that I comment on a video but I really want to say that one.
Thanks Joey for all the work you put into your channel and all the inspiration you gave and will be giving us in the future!
I think it was the right decision to let us fund you a bit for this huge project. We all enjoy your videos and we will enjoy the gallery. You educated and helped us all a lot and you should not need to put yourself and your family in huge dept for that. Ofc. the gallery is a dream of yours that you make come true not only something you do for us but you drag us along you take the time to make the videos and with that you make a part of our dreams come true as well, for a lot of us.
I am sure it was hard for you to ask but don’t think just because we helped you out that you owe us anything. You already repaid us and we help you because we enjoy what you already gave us!
happy to help Joey. been watching for many years. this fishroom is gonna be awesome!
Your project is deserving of some funding, keep it up!
Supporting you and this project is a no brainer. Keep being you Joey, we've got you.
I am not even a fishkeeper and love your vids. This is like the real "real life" shows and am really curious to see how this is turning out.
As I am watching this I admire you for asking help, I have had some rough times and was too proud to do so and regret it till this day. Also means I don't have the money to help you out but seeing you already raised 45k in about 15 hours, the ones that can spare the cash are doing it and I am sure you will be fine with the amazing community you have.
Keep it up, and never be too proud to ask for help because you will never regret it.
Don't worry Joey, we will help you! We're going to help you! Like you always help us in the hobby! Good luck to you and your family!
It's never bad to put it out there. As long as you're positive and clearly doing it for the education then no one should judge you for trying to inspire others and make good things happen!
You know it's the least we can do, you provide countless hours of material and have saved me a ton of money.
Happy to help!
LOVE you Joey!! Can't wait to support you!! So happy about the 2 viewing areas as well!
Finally! Don't be ashamed to ask for help. We've been offering it to you a long time ago and practicality telling you to set up a gofundme. After all, one of the reasons you do these videos is to entertain us, so i feel like owe you a thank you and a little help that we could provide. I'm so happy we can finally help you with your fish hobby! Loving your channel Joey!
Thanks for letting us help you!
Thanks for everything over the years joey! Glad to help
I enjoy watching your videos and wouldn't even try to guess how many hours you've kept me entertained... And now with your gallery it goes beyond just watching a video since it has me talking with others at length about how awesome it is! Even my father, who doesn't like fish, is amazed and wants to see what you do next with it! You're crazy awesome and I'll help any way I can. I dunno about anyone else, but I was wishing I could help back when you first announced it! I can't wait to see more!! :)
It takes strength to ask for help. Love the channel and the hobby. Best of luck to you now and in the future.
sent a donation
Dude I really like your videos, every time I get the notification you put a smile on my face
The time and energy you spent for us, just awesome!!!we totally support you Joe.
I'm so invested into this build and what you do as a person, your motivation is contagious. Sir take my money.
I clicked insanely quickly when I got the notification 😂
Good on you!! We all need a little help from our friends. How exciting for us to be a part of the project. Thanks Joey.
Very sober and down to earth. Best of luck my man, I'm excited to see this continue to come together.
over half way to the goal already. just proves how much we love the king of diy!
I think the planted tank is going to be DISCUS! !!!
reef guy 92 dangerous I just said that I should read further down before saying something.
why?? I dnt want to read everyone's comments lol
reef guy 92 in the past Joey has usually been all a out keeping discus in bare bottom tanks. I'm willing to bet that it will be Uaru Cichlids. Or, maybe he will be getting his goldfish back.
Oh yep, you're right about that. Maybe discus then! I've heard that it is more challenging to get them to grow to full size in planted tanks.
YES! It so is.
Well i was just about to do an essay but that's gonna have to wait 25 mins😀😂
KermitZ same
KermitZ same. I'm working on a research proposal but I'll take a break to watch this vid XD
KermitZ same
KermitZ
Same. Actually it's more of a paper than an essay. I've got till Friday so it's no biggie.
KermitZ same same
Thanks and good luck to you. Keep up the great work and thanks for taking us along on this journey.
Hey @UaruJoey I know this doesn't seem that much but I hope this small amount helps you :) At the moment I only have like around 6000pesos or $120 bucks left on my pocket, I donated like 4.500pesos/$90 bucks... It may not be that much but as a solid supporter ever since, I really do hope this small amount helps you :) Good luck with your 2ooo gals brother :)
alon, there is no such thing as a small amount when it is given from the heart. You did what you could, and no one could ask for more.
Hey agree
I mean I agree
I vote on going high-tech with the 375 planted!!!
Ethan Sickler my vote
Ethan Sickler I'm guessing that will be for all of his Discus!!
Hi tech with some sick crinum calamistratum
I think hearing about the history of the channel would make for great content. It would help bring awareness to how much work actually goes on behind the scenes of a successful channel. I think this amazing community will rally behind you and help with the final push of getting this massive project done, i can't wait to see it.
Also, i completely missed you on the live stream last night =( I am a noob.
I am just here to support the hobby and one of the main contributors to the hobby.
Have a good day =)
Steenfott Aquatics Bob!
I have been waiting for a history video too!
Hi =)
You're a content creator. By yourself, you create really well produced, educational and entertaining content. As time goes by, your content gets better.
Watching this gallery come together is great content and it isn't overloaded with ads. You probably don't feel bad getting help from sponsors because you will give their brands exposure. So don't feel bad about soliciting money from viewers because your brand has value too.
There is no reason to fret over asking your viewers for money. Providing free content and asking for value in return isn't something to be ashamed for, it's a business model.
I hope that with the amount that's been raised in the last 12 hours you can look at it and take a deep breath. You're already half way there. Well done Joey!
Joey, I love your videos and what you are doing for the hobby. I don't have a lot to give and wish I could help more from the bottom of my heart, but I will definitely be contributing to your go fund me account. I don't know about other viewers, but in a small way I feel like this is my fish gallery as well lol. Not only have you given me an abundant amount of knowledge on keeping fish, but inspire us all to always follow your dreams. Good luck with your current and future endeavours with the hobby!!
Preston Holycross I
DISCUS coming back baby!
I'm glad you asked for help. It takes a lot to do that and i think you deserve our help for all you have shown us. I've been sitting on my chair waiting for the finished product! Please keep going!
I was pleased to help you man, good luck!
We got your back Joey!
I couldn't give you much joey, but i can see the rest of the DIY fans aren't letting you down!, hopefully we are able to help you more and see the success of this new gallery that you have dedicated so much time and effort to. Best of luck, and i'm sure we'll help you meet the 85K goal!
The goal has been met!!!! Absolutely amazing to see what a dedicated community can come together and pull off.
CONGRATS Joey! You raised almost all the money in 2 days
I'm calling discus fish in the tank by your desk. CALLING IT NOW
Yep
Yukonbill lol same
i was about to comment that
i think so too
Yukonbill Either them, or he's going to bring back the goldfish, but I'm skeptical about the goldfish if he's going to make it a planted tank cause they're very messy fish
You should keep it up even if funding gets matched, all you do for the hobby I'm sure you can figure out a way to spend it in a good way
Your enthusiasm and genuine passion is truly inspiring. Thanks so much.
thanks for opening up. its awesome your pursuing an amazing hobby. i enjoy watching the channel joey.
Now I want a fish house... already planning my midlife crisis 😂
JediSuPhu hahaha
Yayyyyyyy! Never clicked on a notification so fast
More then happy to help you mate! You are a true inspiration. Can not wait to see you reach your dreams. Enjoy the rest of your project mate.
The slower the concrete curing time is the stronger it will be. After 28 days the concrete will be fully hardened. Make sure when they pour it its done in lifts, letting the concrete flow will create voids. Also make sure it is vibrated or agitated in some way, tapping the sides will help a lot especially around the window openings. Drilling air holes in the bottom sill board will prevent voids as well. You could strip the outside after a couple days since that side wont be needing acid etched. It will give you a chance to rub a slurry coat on if you so desire.
Discus in the planted!!!
i was more then happy to support your gofundmepage, get it Joey. BTW only an hour in and he raised more then 10% of his goal!!!
I really appreciate what you do to communicate towards your fish keeping community. I was always a big fan of fish keeping and had my first 10 G aquarium. I became more passionate about my aquarium keeping over the years and even had 4 aquariums in my room.
People always ask me why I waste so much of my money on the fish tank but knowing that you put your effort in the hobby helps me see why I do it in the first place. I really enjoy the fish keeping as a passion and I truly love my fish as if they are my children. What you do and see in the community in the comments helps me to know there are others who have the same passion as me.
I really hope you keep up the fish hobby in the upcoming years and I will gladly support you in any way I can!
Happy to help a fellow aquarist, especially on a project as grand as this.
From reviewing a cannister filter on the livingroom floor to this, you have come a long way Joey. As a loyal sub and fellow fishkeeper I'll be happy to donate a few $$. Greetings from the Netherlands buddy, keep it up!
There you go! good luck ;) And thank you for letting us help!
35k in 9 hours! Obviously we all love you and what you do! Keep it up and thank you for everything.
Thank you Joey for everything.
