Dave got a giant aquarium. This is his journey.
DIY 3D PRINTED WEIR INSTALL
I've been working on a design for an overflow weir for a long time and came up with something that works. It's also something that Adam Keller at Custom Aquariums came up with first, and patented (with one of the best written patents I've ever seen). This is the install of my design.

A not so boring update for Feb 17th
Просмотров 224 года назад
It's sunday and time to shoot and edit a video. I made a few design changes to the tank, and took some pictures of fish. Nothing awesome, but I think it looks a little better, and there's more room for improvement now. Also, the next fish I'm going to add is revealed!
Feeding Time!

Feeding time in my 180 gallon community tank! - A cinematic 5 minutes. No updates this week, so I decided to upload some video of feedtime time set to some relaxing music.

It's been a while, sorry about that! Life got in the way. This weeks update is a collection from the last month, covering improvements and the freshwater Angelfish that finally made it to the tank!
The 180 gets fish!

Finally! After 7 months of work on the project, there are finally fish in my 180 gallon aquarium! Also, and update on all the things that have changed since I filmed last. There was nearly a month where I didn't pick up my GoPro. Sorry! Finally, big thanks to Beyond the Reef and Aquarium CoOp for being good stores with helpful employees. I love buying from you two.

I planted the tank! Unfortunately, the GoPro ate the footage of planting. Sorry. Thanks to Aquarium Coop for having great shipping for live plants, and SR Aquaristik and Beyond the Reef for stocking cool stone.
180 'Scape update
Просмотров 194 года назад
A quick update on the hardscape for the 180 project. I'm still learning this whole aquascaping thing. The goal isn't a competition tank. Just something to keep the fish happy that I can stare at for hours.

My first attempt at aquascaping

My scape-fu is not strong. I am not deterred.
Drilling the 75 gallon sump
Просмотров 1704 года назад
After the demise of the 55 I used as a sump, I spent some time trying to find a replacement. I failed. I picked up this 75 at the Petco DPG sale to turn it into my new sump.
Cracked sump!

The old 55 I was using as a sump for my 180 gallon tank cracked. Oh no!
Drilling the 180
Просмотров 1324 года назад
Drilling the display tank. I needed to put a pair of 1.5" holes in my 180 gallon display tank for a Herbie overflow to my sump filter. Here's the process. Including an oops that hurt.
A long awaited update

The old 55 I used for my sump cracked. I’ve been trying to deal with that for a while. Here’s where we are now. Just a quick phone video to get everyone up to speed.

A late night vlog about the status of the 180 project. Maybe the first in a series.
I installed my sump!
Просмотров 145 лет назад
Yep, the sump is now under the 180. Something is finally progressing!
just checking out your videos.....very nice tank....love angels.....they were my first....40 years ago....hahahaha....have a great day...
Thanks man! I've loved them for the better part of 40 years....first time I've been able to keep them though. They're growing like weeds!
Not understanding why anyone would sue you for these
Noice!!! Did you tie it to the wood?
I need to. Apparently stuffing it in the zip ties isn’t good enough as it’s broken free twice.
@@davesaquariums you can buy plant glue as well
Getting it stuffed into the proper part of the top of the Mopani was the trick. It's solidly attached now.
@@davesaquariums ahhh ok
Gotta hate that word Oops!
Got a swarm in there now
Yeah, the platies love to loosely school whenever I walk by, thinking they might get fed.
Looking good brother
Thanks!
really nice work on the aquarium and residents. love watching the fish explore
Thanks!
Very nice video, I really like the frame for the lights
Thanks. It's temporary until I can get better lighting going, but it does a nice job holding the shop lights.
wow bro..
The tank is looking great! Well done on this one. New sub to the channel!
Thanks!
I love when the platies swim into the outflow :D
Nice assortment too!
@@jbosmith Thanks Jim! All bred from a set of 6 initially...they're the aquatic version of Catholic rabbits ;-)
You have way more patience than I do! You could get a small snorkeling Santa from Petsmart for your bathtub or maybe a cute mermaid. Jealous of your blue and green platies, did you get them somewhere local?
AlhanaTsuki thanks! I sent a message on the Discord but I’ll answer here too. This group is 6-7 groups of fry from the original breeding group of 6 (2 blue, 2 red wag, 2 sunset Mickey). We started in Feb, with the 6, and now we have like 100 fish.
Herbie overflow?
Yeah. One pipe at full siphon, and the other 'emergency' overflow getting just a trickle. Balance controlled by a gate valve. It's working pretty well.

Would love to see how you plumed the sump
Thanks man. I'll work on a system tour soon. Once I have some fish in to make it look like an actual aquarium.
If you want to dig further back, I do show the development of the 55 gallon version. This one is the same, just 18" wide instead of 12". A good place to start is here: ruclips.net/video/HeMrvynzsn8/видео.html
Nice job!
Thanks!
that sucks
It gets better, wait until next Monday.
You could just tear the tank apart and replace the glass and save yourself the cost of a new tank
I ended up replacing it with something else. That video comes out next week. I did keep the glass though. The rims both shattered with gentle removal pressure. It was a disaster waiting to happen. I figure after a month or two it would have dropped a panel catastrophically.
You could still keep that. Clean the glass Cut a 5/8 piece of plywood, coat it in liquid rubber, while it's still kind of wet set the bottom on the wood coated in rubber, do the same for the walls and fasten it, clean the inside and put a .25" layer of silicone across the bottom, raise the dividers and Bob's your uncle. No you cant see in it anymore but big tanks cost more than some rubber wood silicone and screws
I have plans for the glass.....
nice
nice video smashed the red button share the love
Thanks!
