What Fish should we add first?!⬇
Some annenomies and plants for sure
And I liked your idea of the great barrier reef
A eel mi
I think u should add some tester fish before u put anything that u would like to keep
Please a black tip shark❤
I've worked in the aquarium industry in a bunch of roles so take my advice fwiw. 1) Consider a protein skimmer. 2) Only top up with RO water,particularly if you have rays. 3) As others have suggested, some smaller scattered rock outcrops on the right side will make things look more natural. 4)A big school of Chromis or even better, some of the simpler Anthias species would look amazing. 5) Orphek's Amazonas LED pendants would light your tank perfectly.
Highly agree! He got it right on the head!
Hfhfgygfh😮😮😮😮😮😮
Stocking ideas for this massive saltwater tank? A couple of triggerfish, a couple of parrot fish, a couple of angelfish, a big spiny lobster, a couple of big tridacna clams, a pink-footed sea cucumber, several cleaner wrasses, several cleaner shrimps lots of cerith snails, lost of scarlet hermit crabs, a big conch snail, lots of macroalgae and a bonnethead shark.
Wont the parrotfish just eat all the invertebrates?
triggerfish and parrot fish will eat the clams ( also the clams need tonnes of calcium and high lighting) the sea cucumber, cleaner shrimp and hermit crabs. the bonnethead sharks get a metre long so too big. Also probably 1 cleaner wrasse because they need to eat constantly and they pick things off other fish which could stress the other fish out if they are constantly being picked at by tonnes of cleaner wrasses.
Your efforts and modesty are reflected in every video. Congratulations.
Would suggest framing the outside of the pond, will look so much better.
So far looks good.
I agree and was going to comment about that…that is clearly a drop in pond…they should build a nice wooden unit around it
I think you should make several smaller hides/structures and turn it into a reef style pond.
Love it, and I agree, put a lid!!! Then you can fill the water to the top and it will look better, fish can’t jump out, and will keep parameters stable! Can’t wait to see the future of this pond - and channel.
You should fill it up higher and add a ton of the bottles beneficial bacteria in the bottle to get that filter re seeded. When it sits everything died and is super toxic,need a few back washes and the BB to bring it back to life.
First fish should be some Grunts or any cheap fish to cycle it. Then catch and release them. Looks great a couple big chunks from the place will be cool on the right,not the little pieces.
I would definitely frame the outside pond, it would look so good! Start with a frame and fill it in with some nice fence pickets ! It would look killer guys ! Love how it came out btw ! Keep up the good work !
I would try to add some rocks onto the wall of the tank, more like a professional aquarium. While it might be more permanent might work well, could be some sort of cliff-like thing overhang which fish really like
The sand does make it look quite a lot better too!
Don’t think you need another structure, but a few small rocks scattered to the right side of the pond would look good
Exactly what I was thinking
𝓘 𝓬𝓪𝓷 𝓹𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓾𝓻𝓮 𝓲𝓽 𝓻𝓷
The rocks look amazing and you should definitely get small live coral plants to plant among the rocks to give it a more natural look
Corals aren't plants they are animals
It's Been A While Seeing You Guys!, Started My New Soberity Journey And With A New Job, Now I Have Proper Time To Catch Up, Keep Buzzin You Guys!🙌💯🤘
Hey guys and Brooke, thanks for the content I love it. Can I please ask for the possibility of fish girl merch or maybe Brooke's battalion merch or something. Keep on doing what you do so we'll.
No
What a beauty!!
Finally looks like the way it should.
That rock structure is so sick!!
You should add a small school of monodactylus argenteus (mono angels) and a few Colombian shark catfish
I’m not gonna lie the king of diy is your best bet for affordable but great quality lighting watch his videos he such a help to this community
You should do led lights around the salt water pond! That would look crazy cool!
I suggest you mount the multi directional out take in the front right corner of the pond this will hide it better and still give decent flow to the pond.
Congrats on your nice set up fishguys… Would be good to start with a school of blue/green chromis… They will cycle the pond and at the same time will be future fishes to lure the bigger ones to come out to eat and not just hide in the rock structure…
Looking forward on your next video..
Keep up the good work…
Regards from Singapore 🇸🇬…
Definitely put a lid on it. Fill it up to the top. Definitely would look better.
scatter some smaller rocks on the other side of the pond and maybe add some live salt water plants as well. Then the pond would be perfect
Maybe some more rock, but if get rays(like the one you saw out by the dock)you want open areas to. Fish-bright and colorful, corals and so on! It’s amazing what you guys catch out there in the wild. Loved the video guys-can’t wait to see what you’re gonna do next!
Little eel castle on right side. Looks awesome so far
Hey Guys, you should put rocks between the sand and the crushed corals so they doesn't mix. Greetings from Austria.
You should add first school of pajamas 20 would be cool!
I was thinking of tons of green chromis
Or lots of Sargent majors to start
@@zacdixon6841 Yeah, probably the best idea that way they won’t have to spend any money and just catch them
I really hope you just add a tonne of small reef fish would look incredible and lively
Hanging a light from the ceiling might be a little difficult due to the position of the garage door. Other than that I think it's looking great. Have you thought about exhaust fans for when the garage door is closed? The humidity level will be rather high and could lead to mold and mildew on the walls and ceiling. Great job guys! Looks amazing!
AIN'T NO WAY IVE BEEN GONE FOR SO LONG THAT THE NAMED CHANGED FROM BARBS BUZZIN
Bout time your back! We missed ya
Get the led strips thats water proof around the rim that changes color and turns up bright 🌟
A big school of look Downs first.
I would put a surface skimmer off of your intake line and make a pvc diy surface skimmer too. And that way you can set your height and you'll know where to set the sensor for ato.
And for lighting just get four or five decent-sized Radeon lights and hang them above the pond spread out. You're going to want something with blue light for saltwater just to bring those colors out better in your fish. A lot saltwater fish have iridescence under blue light.. special your angels.
You should add more rocks on the right side for sure.. and if possible build some kinda cave/rock system that blocks the view from the window of the flow system.. obviously dont block the pipes flow but like build the rocks in a way that u still have good flow but without having to stare at pvc pipe.
Will my advice is start downloading up with local fish you know hit the inlet and see what you can bring in and who knows you might be able to get that big angel fish in a couple of small parrot fish to get in there
Wheres Your Horned Shark & The Walking 🦈 ??????
It would be awesome to see a sea snake pond if its legal in Florida. Don't think we can own them in Australia.
Love your vids
I don't think you guys need more rock, but the rock structure should have been directly the middle of the window so that larger fish could swim all the way around it and it would've eliminated the massive blind spot on the left!
i think it would be nice looking if you would add more stone structre to the back of the sturcure thats in so that it would be ab big cave. you could put little led spots in the cave with the corall glue. nature has al lot of cave. a lemon shark would be sleeping in a cave or under a cave legde :)
Great add to the outlet😊
I´d suggest putting some single rocks into the open so that it doesn´t look so empty, but still has a lot of room for the fish to swim in
please remember to put covers on the pipes to prevent fish and eels from swimming in there
Sock guy Chris over here getting the perfect ratio of sand to crush corals one foot at a time lol ❤😂
I'm from Oklahoma and it's still cold enough the grass isn't growing can't wait to hear a lawn mower😂
You could put fish that you would normally like to catch when you fish, so if the weather sucks you can go fishing in the garage 😁
Guys,
I’m concerned about the pond structure. I would’ve liked to see horizontal braces at the very top, going directly horizontal across the top, one on each side of the glass or viewing window. The salt water is going to press outward. Yet I have not finished watching this video. I’m rooting for a spectacular salt water habitat and many many follow up videos showing the development of coral and fish!!!
The cheapest way for lighting is to buy flood lights and attach them to the ceiling
A capped piece of PVC with holes drilled in it would allow you to have a nice spray bar wall
Maybe add small multi colored led pool lights within rock so can light those up while other light off..would look badda$$
I went to sign up for the drop, and it took me to my order history. My first order was in April 2021 🥹🥹
Crazy that it’s already been almost 3 years down and y’all have FOREVER to keep soarin 😎🥹🙌🏻
But frfr Can’t believe it’s already been 3+ years since I started watching y’all 🥹
Thank you for making the dark days a little brighter, just with your pure love for fish 🐟 ❤️
#FishGuysForever #FishGirlsAreBetter
Sidenote, I’m def judging Chris for the socks in the pond 😭🤣
Just let the dogs out, bro 🐶😂😂😂
Are stringray and a bull shark and a giant eel a giant barracuda and a octopus 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Bull shark are too big bro 🦈😠😠😠😠😠😠
Bull sharks are to big
i would give the reef some colourful light to make it look like it is GLOWING
So you guys basically just made a man made ocean. Respect!
An awesome job on an awesome pond! Great job guys, keep up your great videos, thankyou, can’t wait to see fish added to your pond, literally so cool!
Sorry guys, this pond water will ALWAYS be green. The light blue black makes that effect. Best backgrounds for clean looking water is black with good lighting.
❤
The king of DIY made some pretty cheap lights for over his tank maybe you could diy something like that for your pond to save some bread
Guuuyyyssss looks awesome! I can't wait to see it clear and full of life! The only thing I can think of is maybe you can find some sort of live plants for it? I'm sure after fish go in it'll be more vibrant but I feel like it needs some extra umph if that makes sense XD besides that looks awesome. If you decide to go for another rock structure on the right I think that'd look good too!
Those beanies are so lit I'm definitely getting one.
They're fire!!!🔥
Ay bro I took a couple years off the fish hobby so I haven’t seen to many vids over the last couple years cause you guys make me want to fish keep, but I’m getting back into it again so I’m glad my two favourite fish guys are still doing it !
The pond is fire too btw I wish 😅
Light the pond with underwater boat and / or dock lights! Then fish guy that pond full!
MORE WATER!!! like literally 3 more inches!!
One pillar on the right with stone and space around its so fish can circle it and come back across the pond
I love how you explain why you’re doing something, especially the carbon! Will look at adding some to our tanks
Have you thought of a few salt water plants at the bank or near the coral
You should add one or 2 more rocks just to clean things up and even it out.
Would love to see some plant life in there, but some more rocks might be nice too. Should get a cpl rays
If they put plants the pond will be super 🎉🎉
Fs needs another structure in the right corner. Also framing the outside of it would look dope af!🤌🏻
It looked like a pond like if you agree❤❤❤
at 5:09 in the video Chris accidentaly hit the last rock with his foit and it " MOVED " if you do not want those rocks to fall put some more
" cement " in that rock .......
You should build a rock colom in the middle of the rock area. Also, you should make the outflow piping go side to side and then put Tpipes through it(T--T-+-T--T) and after put the tripe out holes on the Tpipes so it simulates waves you also now have the issue of the water distribution since it should make even as it can be in flow
Gotta start with some Sargent majors to cycle it but then go for clowns, fire fish, star fish, cabs, snails, shrimp, tang, angels
Hopefully eels, rays, sharks, and parrots will come it too
Weed growing lights work just as good as any aquarium light. Way less expensive, and in my opinion work better.
Inverts like feather dusters, urchins, hermit crabs, starfish, and snails. Then corals and anemones. Just to start. Good luck!
Looking at the water level and noticed the cut out for the glass fixture looks to be off level a bit. This could have effect on structure stability and integrity.
Joey… is a Trendsetter 🗣
Sorry Boys Lights are the issue always but you can get like six hanging led reef quality lights for 160-230 a piece that would work
Also you could build a fake structure under the pipes n make it look like its meant to be there with some fake coral or seaweed hung on pipes to disguise them
It will brighten up the pond a bit
Its back!! 🎉🎉
Yessir❤❤❤
Feel the pond to the top this time
Petition for a bamboo shark
⬇️
It would be cool to see a blacktip shark in this Saltwater pond but i think you should add angel fish and clownfish first to be the exact.
You're got to build a giant cave in the back right corner or the whole thing looks horrible
chill out bro
And add a school of mullet or fire fish i think it would look ✨Amazing ✨
King of DIY makes his lighting
Boys boys boys. You should put a ship wreck piece in there look awesome with the reef and coral when it’s all done
Make another little but deep cave on the right for smaller fish and invertebrates
Why don't You Wash the Sand and Gravel in the Grass, give the Lawn a Treat, 2 Chores in 1!.
I wish you guys will actually fill it up all the way... for some reason seeing above the waterline is killing my OCD lol.
I think the structure is good the way it is it's not overbearing they're still hide spots but you got a lot of swim space I think you're going to need that swim space
You should watch Paul Cuffaros videos and get some ideas from him he is also from Florida and i have been watching you guys and him from garde 8 and i have now graduated school 😂lol and why i ask you to see his videos is because he is also has many saltwater ponds he customly built and he can give you ideas for what fish to put in and im hounered to be a fish guy and gollow you along your awesome journey in youtube thanks for all of the hard work and teaching us about fish and the ocean you are much appreciated and i hope you dont put big predator fish since there is so much more reef fish you guys can put in (see pauls vid and you will understand) there are many different types of tangs ,angel fish ,clown fish,zebra eels and so much more you can put in.....cant wait for the next video !
I don’t know if I can get a hold of you but I have a question for you about the car that I have for you and I need to know if you have any questions about it or if you have a minute to talk about it or not I just wanted to ask you a question about it I have a question about the car and I have a question about the yui
Gorgeous! I am excited to see it crystal and full of life! How is Mr Emperor Snapper doing?
Yes, add more rock to the right side
You definitely need to get rid of some of that pvc make it more flush to the wall it'll look better and they don't need to be as deep into the pond plus shortening it uo making it flush to the wall will change the jet angle so it doesn't blow at the sand at all
Put the flowage in the front corner window side and it would hide it more
Get a shark you better get a shark, parrot fish , and a grouper
Bros just regular white 6500k LED shop lights work perfectl…. I had a $15 Walmart LED shop light on mine and I grew corals.
For something that size you are looking at around 5k at the minimum especially if your trying to do an actual reef with live coral etc otherwise if your not doing live coral then just ant ordinary led lights will do
It's looking sick guys, can't wait to see what you put in it 😍
Carbon is not the best to have translucid water I think you must get an UV filter for this job, in salt water a « proteine skimmer » is I think a must have too, good luck!
The intros always get me😂😂
i feel like if you painted those pipes to color match the inside of the pond it wouldnt be as much of a eye sore
