- After a 3 year break from CZcams, i'm back. Here's a look at my entire fishroom and all of the tanks, fish, and stuff currently living in it. Fish Include Goodeids, Spanish Ribbed Newts, Crayfish, Turtles, and many live cultures. Learn a little bit about how the new fish rack is assembled and how the central sump system works.

It's nice to be back on CZcams! In the comments please let me know what in-depth videos you would like to see based on everything highlighted in this fishroom tour!
good to hear😇😇
you forgot to say "its update monday" ?
@@novoiperkele I'm not sticking to a schedule or labeling video numbers right now, hah
It would be cool to see an in-depth series on the Spanish newts, I see very little information on newts and salamanders out there. The perspective of a fish keep compared to an amphibian keeper might also be interesting.
Happy to have found you/ LRB gave me your link.
😱so glad to have you back 😊🤗👍
Welcome back to YT. +1 for dado cut stands 👍. Looking forward to hearing more about your fish room. Will also be watching the livestreams. Cheers 🍻
Blast in the past! Good to have you back.
Welcome back! It's been a blast having you hang out in my streams!
Welcome back! I can’t believe it’s been 3+ years. I was looking forward to the rack setup! I’m anxiously waiting to see the pond and greenhouse!
Hi Greg, glad to hear youre finally back! Would absolutely love to watch more updates on the turtles! It's not very often you come by videos on southern black knob sawbacks!
Welcome back!! Great to see an upload from you mate
Good to see you making videos again. The fish room looks good. With the cost of electricity it’s nice to see more sub tropical fish keeping.
Glad to see you back. Looking forward to watching your videos
welcome back very awesome tour
I was not expecting this to pop up in my recommended feed today that’s for sure. Welcome back to YT. Room is looking fantastic.
You are not dead! Yay! Great to see you back. You have the best content.
Welcome back!!! The fish room looks great, I'm loving all those not so common fish you have in that room. I hope to see you at the N.E.C. auction.
I'll be there!
So good to see all the updates! Been watching your vids for about 2 years. I've learned so much from you and am so thankful for all the knowledge you've given. I went through a down point in my own fishroom and almost considered selling it all. Your vids have definitely helped me get that urge back and to get in the fishroom. Can't wait to see the newer content. Keep up the great work!
Thoroughly enjoyed it G. I’ll have to come shopping for some white clouds. Everything looks awesome.
Your fish room looks awesome!!!
Welcome back! Looking forward to future content.
Welcome back Glad you are back
Hello. Just saw a second ago you posted a new video. Missed your videos and wasn’t checking my subscriptions page until last couple days. Found your note, and I’m 7 months behind. Glad to see you again.
Great to see you again 👍
ABSOLUTELY do a SUMP VIDEO !!!!!!! I need to do one.
Welcome back Greg!
Well I'll be.. look who's back!
Welcome Back, I must say that I missed you und your Videos, best day of the year.
long time no see. Glad you are back. looking forward to enjoying all your upcoming videos.
Celebrate Greg’s return bys ! Like this video
Welcome back, Greg!
great looking fish room
Holy cow am I seeing a ghost I was so sad to see you gone but now you're back it's unbelievable I watch pretty much all your video wondering what happened to you but even then I stayed subscribed.
thats crazy i was just going through your old videos wondering why you havent uploaded in years... pop on today and see you uploaded!! happy new years
Welcome back mate.
good to see you still alive dude!!
Hooray! An update on your life and fishroom. Good to see you again!
Welcome back. I was wondering what the lowboy tank setup was looking like. Thanks for coming back. I know how hard it is to do the CZcams thing and I appreciate you coming back.
Missed you! Still the same old Greg… which is great!
HE'S RETURNED!
If you are needing those Deltacola Deltacola rehomed I'd love to work with you somehow.
i would love to do some outdoor turtle stuff at some point, i feel they are way happier and act more natural outside
@Greg Jones Tuff Tubs and Rubbermaid water troughs like your 300 are excellent means to house the gracile headed maps outdoors. Ours appreciated faster moving water, and basking privately under shade.
Holy shit! Welcome back!
Glad you're back. Thank you for taking the time to share.
Good to see you back
those stand seem pretty cool for the pleco caves
Thought i was seeing things when your notification showed on my playlist. Welcome back! Left the hobby for a good amount of time and it was your channel and all your innovative ideas that brought me back into the hobby about 3 1/2 years ago. Cant wait to see more creative fish keeping and the greenhouse.
Welcome Back !!!
Glad your back!
Love all the goodeids!! So glad I found this channel, I would love to get some goodeids in my fishroom as well. Thank you so much.
Whoah! I was not expecting this video! Welcome back!! 🎉😊
Have been seeing you in lots of peoples livestreams. Was hoping you would come back soon.
very nice set up
Welcome back! So glad to see you back!
welcome back :)
Welcome back to CZcams! You mentioned with your Ameca splendens them beating up on corydoras. I had noticed in my tank with blue tail goodeid I was losing corydoras cats and I was talking to a old timer hobbyist, he said the female goodeids will go beat up the cory cats, especially after they drop fry. So I pulled corydoras out of all my goodeid tanks and have ancistrus in with them.
yeah that's exactly what's happening, i pulled all my corys out and only keep 1 full grown male ancistrus in with them for glass cleaning
So happy to see you back!
Nice!
Glad you're back making videos!
Welcome back! Discovered your channel a year ago and loved the content
Whoa look who it is!! Great to see you uploading again!
nice to see you back Greg!
🎉welcome back :)
Great to see you back, I was afraid you were gone gone.
Aslo glad your back
OH HOW IVE MISSED YOU
Video suggestion, I’d like to get massive amount of pleco caves at the best quality possible while balancing not over spending, looking for the best quality for price.
So listing sources or diy ideas all in one video would be cool.
There’s a lot on the internet but very few I’ve found summarize several options in a single video:)
That's easy, use terra Cotta plant watering stakes, they are like $2 each and bristlenose love to breed in them, my favorite though is the pleco ceramics small cave, it's the preferred choice for young bristlenose to start spawning in
Okay I’ll do! I’m breeding BN ALBINO, regular, regular long fin, leopard frog, L201, L333, super red long fin BN, and clown, and blue eye long fin albino BN.
Just collected 300-400 bronze cories since we are getting a massive snow storm tonight. My orange lasers need to grow out more before I think they’ll breed, getting pandas soon.
Also breeding neon rainbows. DAISY'S BLUE RICEFISH-ORYZIAS WOWORAE , sorry caps lol
Blue shrimp, cherry shrimp and Asian snails.
Green varieties of crypt, bronze crypts, red tiger lotus, green regular tiger lotus, varieties of Anubis, Java moss, Bolbitis Heudelotii Difformis, Taxiphyllum barbieri, Subwassertang (Lomariopsis Lineata)-this one is my fav for egg scatters!
Also have Amano shrimp of course not breeding them.
Looking for another L to start breeding.
Working on my own rack atm. Centralize air system for most of the tanks plus 2217 eheims
So I’m wondering if I should expand to different caves for the other non-BN plecos I want to try.
Of course I mean dwarf neon rainbow
Glad to see you upload again, we missed you man.
Very Cool, Thankyou. Welcome Back, great to see you. Tanks looking awesome. How do you harvest the Live Blackworms? Cheers
i'll do a blackworm guide video, but generally to harvest i just put some food source in a pile, wait for them to mob it, and then turkey baste them out 1 oz at a time, very satisfying to slurp up a bunch of worms hiding inside a green bean, lol!
Glad to see you are back! I have actually just came back to the hobby again as well! used to be notw21 rebranded to dare to reef. I have been watching you forever. lol Love the brine shrimp hatchery and would love to see more on that. Glad all is well!
Brine shrimp video will be done within the next few weeks
@@gregjonesonline can't wait!
New subscriber here amazing setup very inspiring ❤❤❤
Btw look at all them low boys, I love it
Haha, glad to see ya back make videos. Nice to see ya with the Goodied’s to Z. Tequilas are one of my favs in the fish shed. I’ve six species of Goodied’s. I furciden bred pretty regular in the shed. They also known as goldbreasted. They are very aggressive eaters.
Again glad to see ya back making videos
Just
Also Trout
If you ever can ship the Goodeids, i would be interested. Welcome back!!
Where you located?
@@kjeaquatics Dayton, Ohio
@@drockingfish if Greg don’t have any , I may - hit me up
@@kjeaquatics yes i was going too, i just would like having multiple options.
trout goodeid could benefit from heavy plant culture
I added a giant fake boxwood garland to give fry cover, I may eventually add a giant mat of java moss. I found out the first fish I ordered were likely kept too hot before I got them and may have been sterile, I have new stock now and some fry
Welcome back Greg, and longtime no chat!!!
I believe I reached out to you about five years ago from Seattle.
Alot has changed since then, but I've been getting back into the vibe of being a fish keeper.
Also curious if you know of anyone in Massachusetts that has a healthy microworm culture going. I could really use some!!!
Sincerely Michael
the two best places for live cultures are local auctions and the facebook group "live cultures for aquariums"
@@gregjonesonline thanks I've joined the group and began a dialogue.
If you come through the Boston areas group I'll be joining them shortly also. Hope to make your acquaintance in person Greg.
Cheers,
Michael
@@TheMrcooldjbigones i'll be at the NEC auction, PVAS auction, and the SCTFS auction this winter/spring, cheers!
Save the goodeids!!
So SWEET Greg , I was just getting into the Nature Aquarium when you & all the Lowboys shut down the content 😔😌😪 Hell I have to say it is deserving of " Better late than Never " before I get ack to the fishroom In a few words....thank you for making the incredible Playlist !!!! I have nevef binge watched that many in a row other than Green Aqua & Mulmung... Easily one of the most impressive on CZcams Greg 🥤🥤
I found you like a month ago on here like your old vids, fish room looks cool lover the low boys I’ve been looking at them myself for plants and shrimps…. Two part response 1, shorts are dumb and everyone with a functioning brain thinks so live would be sweet you seen like a cool guy to pick the brain of 2, vids on the live food would be super cool I’ve been focusing on sustainably since 2020 myself
Hey Greg did you ever get that vac and return pump in the five gallon bucket working. Think that was one of my favorite DIY projects you did
it worked ok, but i still havent found anything quite as strong as a normal gravity siphon, i have plans in the summer to hook up my air compressor outdoors at low pressure and try to wacky air lifts to speed clean my IBC totes and in ground pond
Are you going to put back the BOX too. How’s the shed and back yard pond 😊✌️
Stay tuned for future business plans, planning something a bit different but which should equally benefit the community and hobby, pond and greenhouse are better than ever, can't wait for spring to get outdoors!
Can you please please do a video tutorial on setting up and keeping a white worm culture?
It's on my list to do! Until then check out David Ramsey's Whiteworms video
WOW! Great to see you back Greg. Thanks for the look around at the old MAB HQ. Question: 40 gallons per day of freshwater? Do you have a spring? Don't tell me you just leave the faucet on 24/7 for the fish tanks??
My cold water line in the basement goes down to 1/4" drip line into a 3 stage carbon filter which drips 24/7, no faucets are used
You keep your tank temperature at 65 degrees. Do your honeycomb plecos breed at that temperature? How about your other plecos?
Lots of ancistrus are spawning, it's the lower end of their temp range but they seem to be doing well, just growing slow
You have been busy.
5:55 I've had a relationship like that. Just let her go, there are plenty of fish in the tank that won't drag you through the moam. : (
Sometimes a challenge is good, but I can only deal with so many at once, haha
Can you do a video on your Fluidized k2 filters. Like more in depth like how big of a air pump you need. I can't find any info on that.
I use a linear piston air pump to run an air loop which provides air to all tanks and sumps
Do you know the minimum of air flow I would need for one barrel. Not trying to dona whole fishroom
@@lukeriley5595 it's hard to say the exact air flow rate, if your k1 is new it won't tumble at all, if it is packed too tight it won't tumble,the ideal air flow allows a good rolling boil of tumbled media
Quick question, why these tanks are so low (I mean height)?
they were originally designed for coral frags which needs little height but lots of surface area, with corals or plants the deeper the water the stronger the lights need to be, but they work great for cory cats, plecos, and livebearers, all of which don't need height but all of which like the large surface area. for reference, a 55 gallon tank has a total surface area of 624 inches square, while a 50 gal lowboy has a surface area of 1,152 inches square!
Hi Greg! I just found you because I'm looking to build a rack for 2 twenty gallon tanks. I watched your video where you had modified your first rack but I can't find instructions. I guess your old website is gone now? My luck. I'm just getting into the aquarium hobby with a bang. I guess you've been at it for a while and things change. Do you have a pdf you could send? I like your stand the best so far and I've been Googling for a few hours today. Best, Molly
Sorry I don't have it any more, lost it when Google SketchUp was sold
Is that a pc. of slate that holds the pleco caves?
Yes, I'll do a diy video on it soon
I unsubbed because you hadn't made a video in a while .I subbed again
Glad your back. Whatever happened to Tim's fish room you did the video on? The guy with all the swordtails he was importing from Germany. Is he still around?
No idea, I haven't seen him at any club events in many years
