- čas přidán 3. 11. 2022
- In this video, we go and buy the absolute worst aquarium we could find on Facebook marketplace. We brought our fish tank back to Dallas North Aquarium, where we prep it, clean it, set it up on display, and give the aquarium away, all within less than 48 hours!

About 3 years ago, I got out of the hobby but never got rid of my tanks. I don't know why, but the wife was like, "What are you doing with the tanks?" I said they were staying, and she said that if you're not going to use them, they need to go. I have no idea why I even keep them in the first place, but in my area, 75 gallons are hard to find with a sump setup anyways. I ignored her for the longest time because I just knew I was going to use them for something, but I didn't know what. But I had been planning it in my head for the longest-what I wanted to do and my vision of how I was going to make them look. My dad had stage 4 cancer, and one day I was sleeping, and I woke up, and she was like, "What are you doing?" ium fixing the tanks today, she's like today! I'm like, "Yes!" today! She's like they haven't been running in 3 years. I said I don't know why, but they need to be up. So I'm resealing them, buying sand, buying a new lid, and just redoing the UV sterilizer. everything I could touch or paint to make it look amazing, and I think it was because my dad told me to. In my dream, witch is weird, but I work up and I'm like, "I'm doing the tanks; I didn't even want to, but I just knew I had to." I still can't explain why, but it was one of the things I and he enjoyed. I used to hook him up with all types of fish, and he had like 2 or 3 55-gallon tanks. I must say, I do enjoy having the tank back up and running again. It looks amazing, and it is some of the best work I have done yet. I went with Malawi Mbuna, which was also one of my plans. I think the fish look amazing. My 75-gallon tank is already up and running, and I've been planning my 55-gallon tank with a new canister filter and painting the tank's sand landscape. I'm not sure why I need two tanks; one is plenty.
We discovered that shop decades ago when I was a child. The staff made a lifetime impact on my life. I only had a 35 gallon tank but we had tons of species in it with their help. Still the best tank I’ve never had. Soon I’ll be setting up two 55 gallon tanks to be heavily planted freshwater tanks in our house and I will be making a trip all the way to Dallas for their help to stock it.
Wow, such a beautiful job you’ve done on the flip! That was actually my uncle and grandma that you gave away the tank to. Thank you, you’re such a blessing! 😊
Wait how old is he ?
Such a great story I just went through the cancer thing with both of my parents dad then mom about a year ago .... She had a big tank we used to enjoy... I'm currently trying to buy a used aquarium near me ... But it's hard being only one working and also custody of my nephew but was an awesome video
Nice to see there are some genuine kind people still left in this world. God bless you would have wonderful thing you did for that family.
Good to see some positivity being spread Shawn! Way to go guys
Thank you!
Beautiful edit. I have no doubt your channel will explode with followers.
This is amazing! I don't think I've seen other companies do this, their own youtube channel with actual videos like this! Makes me want to by fritz products. Too bad its not available in my country.
We always wanted to! Just needed to get the right team!
Really enjoyed the efforts that you always give !!! Great family that you were able to bring some joy to Bleaching, would have never knew , but old stuff growing on the rocks is very good content . I am already hoping that you will do something similar in the future 💰
WOW! What a great video. Not sure how to spell your name, so I'll go with what I know. Sean, you are an awesome human. The next time I'm in Dallas, I will most certainly drop by the Dallas North Aquarium store. You deserve the business. Nice Job!
What an absolute wonderful way to share the hobby and make someone’s day! Keep it up, you guys are amazing
We will!
What a wonderful gesture on your parts. It is truly going to a great place and will help lift some spirits!
What a beautiful project, with beautiful people. Respect!
You guys are incredible! The human spirit is beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration brother. I hope you have the greatest success in life!
Great video man!! I recently road tripped to Dallas from OKC a few weeks ago to buy my first “like-new” 75 gallon saltwater setup and unfortunately I was sold a chipped tank that I was told on Reef2Reef would not likely hold water much longer. I stopped by the Dallas North Aquarium store on my way home and realized I should have bought a setup from there. Guess ya live & learn but I really wish I would have bought a nice refurbished setup like the one you prepared. Well done FritzFam🔥🔥
Thank you! - Shawn
You are a good man with a great heart 👍👏
So cool that yall gave away such an awesome set up
Miss you already brotato chip!

Thank you! -Shawn
My uncle gave me a 15 year old aquarium 100 gallon for free because he thought it was worth nothing but I thought I could use it for a nice aquarium so right now I have it in my garage and I’m trying to fix it up the wood is cracked on it but not the glass😀 so it should not leak I’m so excited to get it fixed up
Nice! The frame being cracked is concerning though. Send over some pics

When you go to the music in your videos you should lower the volume. I have my volume louder to hear you clearly sometimes, then randomly the music starts blasting in my speakers. Thanks for the video.
Noted! Will adjust!
such a natural. STOP IT SHAWN! your to good 👍
This a great thing guys! Geez I would really love to see this tank in their house and seeing that family working on it together.
Just wondering would it be ok to pressure wash a tank that has really bad calcium deposit
Well done, sir!
What cleaner can I use to get the sediment off my tank
Looking Soo good man
Sweet 😊 wasn’t expecting this ending
Me Neither! It definitely wasn’t planned but I couldn’t think of a more deserving family of the gift. I think I will reach out and see how he is doing. -Shawn
@@fritzaquaticsvideo yes please! Seems like a sweet family. The son is so caring.
Vinegar is a fish tank owner’s friend
Snailed it! I really enjoyed this 😊🥰
Sean Smith I watched your last video and I loved it. I got on this channel because I was looking for a used aquarium. I recently lost both my legs in my hand I'm living in an assistant living where I can't have pets but I can have a Fish Tank and I would love one so I would love to buy 1 of the ones you if possible. Please let me know
You sprayed the live rock with tap water?
Good people.
That was cool. Period. 🥶
It was destiny for this kid to get this aquarium. The reef God works in mysterious ways.
Nice video, but not what I expected based on title. Good luck to new owners.
Be cool to see an update
