      Are you able to do any store unboxings? I miss seeing what you sell and Robert suggestions for fish compatibility 😀
      I’m watching from the UK so can’t visit the store 😊

    Man, seeing Dean's fishroom just inspires me to do better! And I wish I watched this earlier so that I would have known to ditch that airstone for the Ziss brine shrimp hatchery because that is literally the only issue I have with the system.

    @brianklimaszewski Před 3 lety +1

    Fun fact most distilleries will buy old wine barrels and char/season the inside before they use them for their whiskey. We use to repurpose old whiskey barrels to make wine in and when aged long enough would get a nice brandy flavor due to being old whiskey barrels

    Cory, people would buy the lace plant at a discounted price if you told the story of the farm in the description. But, I came here to say that it's very nice to see good people succeed theses days. And it feels good to support and buy your products. Congratulations to all of you good people!

  • @0Turbox
    @0Turbox Před 3 lety

    I have changed every tank, even the smallest hatch tanks, to water pumps. It's nostalgic, hearing the bubbles at a pet shop, but at home, or if you have to work for hours with your tanks, it starts eventually to annoy you. Also, fish's can hear and nearly at no habitat, our aquarium inhabitants live in, you have such a soundscape.

  • @farmert9679
    @farmert9679 Před 3 lety +3

    Good Idea for Cory. Have extensions on your sponge filters so that you can make the tube longer and then a 45 degree attachment to get the flow moving. Longer tube gives you more suction through the filter so to say.

    Very easy to listen to videos very personable We've noticed that when talking about what's in the tanks the actual tank size is not usually mentioned. Speaking for my self I would like to know the tank size as it would help me know if I could do the same setup

    @quki3 Před rokem

    I’d love to see a couple different outdoor pond ideas and set ups. I’m going to need to consider adding a few ponds outside. I bought 7 (one was accidentally a female) endler’s last October 2022. I can’t even count how many endler’s I have now. Might have to sell them off? I started out with a 4 gallon cube, and a ten gallon tank. I had to recently purchased two 20 gallon long, a 40 gallon breeder and a 55 gallon. Shame to only have endler’s in them all. .. I love endler’s but I really would like to keep something else, too. Shopping for racks today. Concerning my dining room to my fish room 🫶🏻🐟🐡🧊I love these videos.. wish you guys were in Southern California ❤
