When you end up moving out you should get those large pond tubs that get dug into the ground, then etc with the river rocks outside on the borders and sand
I’ve had a smaller version of the second tank you bought for YEARS out in the pasture for my llamas drinking water and in winter for hay. It’s the best material ever.
The system now looks much better than before. I never trusted those metal stock tanks. I never used them and now I will definitely not even try,thanks to this very useful video. That ranchu with red head in the left tank looks awesome (and the other fish of course) 😃
JCP aquarium for the win! The lighting just makes the fish and the water so pretty! Good job! I'm sure they are happy! I hope your goldies health improves as well!🧡
Luke, I am old enough to be your mother, so when I say this it's coming from a lady who observes you as an intelligent, Godly young man. It's refreshing to see. You do remind me of my own grown children who are actually older than you. I truly enjoy your goldfish hobby and simply wish you the best in your education and future. Have a good week. 🐡🐡🐡🐠🐠🐠 Oh, and tell Brad I said to behave! 😉
How you ever seen the channel ‘Bailey’s Goldfish’? She had a stock tank pond that was BEAUTIFUL She had window planters all around the edges and drift wood that was all planted! It would make a great stock tank pond for your piggies!
Luke, a great video about the process. A suggestion for filtration, which I use, changed my goldfish keeping. Please take a look at some videos about koi filtration using 2/3 drum K1 media. The first 2 barrels are static K1, for bio stagnation to easily remove waste and the 3rd is fluidized K1 for ammonia removal. Very effective.
Hey Luke! I’ve already watched almost every vid of yours, but now I am rewatching them because I can’t wait until I get my goldfish this spring, and your videos are just to good
Yep Luke it looks really nice. That is the thing with us fish keepers . All of sudden there's a problem that can only be solved by hard work, knowledge, lots of time and MONEY. Well done. Your love of goldies is obvious..
I use those black stock tanks for water troughs from my horses water. I keep feeder goldfish in them to help keep the algae down. Those fish live forever! Plastic is way better than galvanized for sure.
That type of plastic is called "structural foam" and it's actually pretty strong. It's an injection molded plastic that expands in the mold and those cracks look like a flaw in the molding process.
I have a question.? Can Ranchu Goldfish play with ping pong balls or not? Also I love how much you care for your Goldies!!!! Your such a good fish owner 💕💕😖
there will be no sump...i can tell you this for certain. He wouldn't have built a 5 gallon canister filter if he was going to run a sump....... and the ponds would need to be elevated.
I would love to do a set up like this one day! I wish people would do there research and give there gold fish the lives they deserve instead of shoving them into tiny tanks or bowls.
Agreed! I had to help teach my friend proper goldfish care since they were handed 2 unwanted fair goldfish from a relative. My friend didn't know that tap water had chlorine in it and it burned their poor gills up bad, I had to quickly lend them a spare 10 gallon I had laying around and told them about making tap water safe, the nitrogen cycle, what ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates are, etc. They're now in a 29 gallon which is better than what most people have 😆. I told them they're gonna get HUGE so they've been slowly upgrading and dreading it at the same time lol. Tanks are costly
I thought it was only me who'd done this, I made a wood tank with a internal gravel filter and drain the water from the roof into the tank. 9 months in and all if going well!
All the hoops we have to jump through to mimic nature. We still are clueless when it comes to the complexities of God’s creation. Great job keeping these beautiful Goldie’s.
Unfortunately, it was his death that made me change this system up. Didn’t want to talk about it because I am still pretty upset about it, but after finding him dead, I knew something was seriously wrong.
With my goldfish tanks I found that if I changed more than 1/2 of the water they would start to suffocate because it had not "aged" - so I only changed not more than 1/3 of the water each time I cleaned the tank
I've just found ur channel and I love that u love ur fish so much! I'm curious, will u be putting in aquatic plants/plant life into the tanks? I feel bad for the guys, just swimming in nothing but a void...
How warm does it get in your greenhouse? I have a 100 gallon tank I want to put in my gh but I’m worried the goldfish will get too hot even with the fans
Hey Luke, been watching for a while. Ive never seen you address this. I have 6 small fantails. 2 of them, every time they eat, get floaty. Doesnt matter if its sinking food, peas, bloodworms, brine shrimp. I think they're dying an the next day they're back to normal. Any suggestions?
Unluckily for the fish, these beautiful fancy goldfish have been bred for colors and looks rather than functionality :( still love them to dead but basically, they still have organs in that compact space. In order to make room for food coming in, they have to take room from other organs, and sometimes that will make their boyancy so far out of wack, it’s hard to swim. You’re probably doing everything right and it can get so discouraging to see fish looking sickly but it just happens sometimes🤷♀️ hope you’re little ones live long lives!!
Luke I have a question so how do u feel about tank ornaments? I don't see u have any? Is it that it's bad for the fish or u just don't like to have them?
This might be a silly question but why don't you have any decorations, plants, etc in the tubs. I would just think that the goldfish would have to have stuff in there to keep them entertained or busy. Im not calling abuse, you seem very knowledgable in the subject and they look very healthy and happy, but I'm just wondering why the tubs are so plain.
Its natural because goldfish come from carp and carp in nature sift which means that they are looking for food in the sand and the sand that gets eaten its small so it will simply pass thru there system without any harm done
PLEASE TELL ME MAURICE IS STILL ALIVE D: I CROSS EXAMINED LAST TIME YOU SHOWN OFF MAURICE ON TIKTOK WHICH WAS the before October and this video is October and dont see her WHERE IS MAURICE 😭 WAS MY FAV
I am not an expert and this is not supposed to be critique, but I just wonder why you don't add plants, rocks and other stuff into them? Like so they can hide and play and stuff 🙈 Is there a reason why you don't do that?
When you end up moving out you should get those large pond tubs that get dug into the ground, then etc with the river rocks outside on the borders and sand
might do something like that!
Yeah i agree the goldfish are beautiful but the setup leaves a little to be desired. Moving in the right direction though.
@@lukesgoldies What happend with that big lavender ranchu that you bought from goldfish island?

You're so sweet and cute
wholesome ❤
Upsetting when you do everything right and you loose fish like that. Hope the new system works out for you
I love this setup and I hope this fixes the problem

I have not seen that! Might look it up!

Great video! Makes me think about my two metal stock tanks… I think I’ll order zinc test strips and see what it says about my water.
Sweet setup...those Tuff Stuff tanks are the best :D
Would love to see a full build of the pump you have going on this... might try to convince the wife to put one on our porch... 😂
Yep Luke it looks really nice. That is the thing with us fish keepers . All of sudden there's a problem that can only be solved by hard work, knowledge, lots of time and MONEY. Well done. Your love of goldies is obvious..
This is my dream tank ,a big tank that have good filtration and all in a green house so the fish will be safe.
Oh. Tractor’s Supply. 👍 I live only 6 mins away from one. Will definitely be getting myself one. Way cheaper than my Laguna Basin Tub
I’d also love the brand of lights you are using too!
Just getting into goldfish. Not doing hydroponics yet! But I’m debating best filter and budgeting. I like the idea of starting with tubs.

Your extremely smart ..God bless I enjoy watching you
I have a question.? Can Ranchu Goldfish play with ping pong balls or not?
Also I love how much you care for your Goldies!!!! Your such a good fish owner 💕💕😖
filtration is a critical part of the whole system. Thank you for sharing all the details. Any sump filter do you plan to use?
there will be no sump...i can tell you this for certain. He wouldn't have built a 5 gallon canister filter if he was going to run a sump....... and the ponds would need to be elevated.
Ur greenhouse and its set up is so nice!!

Every thing u did Worth it... Bro ♥
I thought it was only me who'd done this, I made a wood tank with a internal gravel filter and drain the water from the roof into the tank. 9 months in and all if going well!
I really love your content i like to be a fish keeper i love what are tou doing keep going
You must live in a warm area? I live up in Canada and just ordered some Ranchu from goldfishisland, but no way could we have an outdoor setup here!
That looks so much better and bet the fish will be happier to
Ok. I thought these were pond tanks?? I’d really like to know where you got that greenhouse? Your tanks & everything look great!!
All the hoops we have to jump through to mimic nature. We still are clueless when it comes to the complexities of God’s creation. Great job keeping these beautiful Goldie’s.
I'm wondering if you will install a green house on the outside of your new house, or you will just keep all your fish inside in your basement
Good job, look great! I better make one too!
Very beautiful how many gallon is the tank?
Where do you get those big black tubs
epic video i love bubba and brad
What happened to Maurice?
Unfortunately, it was his death that made me change this system up. Didn’t want to talk about it because I am still pretty upset about it, but after finding him dead, I knew something was seriously wrong.
@@lukesgoldies I am sorry for your loss I really liked Maurice.
@@lukesgoldies What! Maurice died! No!
I'm sorry man that sucks
@lukesgoldies sorry to hear that Luke he was my favorite fish of yours because he was different from all the rest
@@lukesgoldies Oh shit I haven't seen him a lot but I remember him being one of your first. Hope you find peace soon.
With my goldfish tanks I found that if I changed more than 1/2 of the water they would start to suffocate because it had not "aged" - so I only changed not more than 1/3 of the water each time I cleaned the tank
Do you have heaters I'm there for when the temperature drops?
I've just found ur channel and I love that u love ur fish so much! I'm curious, will u be putting in aquatic plants/plant life into the tanks? I feel bad for the guys, just swimming in nothing but a void...
gold fish wil unroot everything.
Where did you get your fish tank?
Looks good
Where did you buy the oval stock tank?
Just saying ur video quality is amazing but ur so underrated
How warm does it get in your greenhouse? I have a 100 gallon tank I want to put in my gh but I’m worried the goldfish will get too hot even with the fans
Do the redbranchu start out orange?
Really nice video
Glass fiber reinforced plastic maybe? Idk
How do you keep the big fish from breeding
I think you could have drilled a small hole at the end of the crack and it would prevent it from cracking more

Great Vid!
I have a fantail and shubunkin which fish can i add plzz reply...🙏
Can you make videos on fish stress and sitting at bottom
Luke what do you do with these fish? Do you sell them locally? or ship them out?
Ok now I need one of these guys PLZ WHAT ARE THEY CALLEDDD
you should do a DIY Bakki Shower filter
It's safe for the fish to integrate with hydroponic things??
Alternative gym 💪😜
Luke I have a question so how do u feel about tank ornaments? I don't see u have any? Is it that it's bad for the fish or u just don't like to have them?
he said in a different video that goldfish will find a way to get hurt, or eat if they are plant.
What are the plants for?
Where is gerogie I never seen him in a while 🤔
Sort by most popular in his channel
Came for the cute fish, stayed for the hot guy 🙃
Yay
Great
WHERE MURICE Did he die @Luke’s goldies Pls respond
Unfortunately yes, that is the main reason I decided I needed to change my system
@@lukesgoldies NOOOOOO he was my favorite
Who is that fish in your banner and what happened to Cristina (the ryukin)
This might be a silly question but why don't you have any decorations, plants, etc in the tubs. I would just think that the goldfish would have to have stuff in there to keep them entertained or busy. Im not calling abuse, you seem very knowledgable in the subject and they look very healthy and happy, but I'm just wondering why the tubs are so plain.
He’s said before that they’re too clumsy and hurt themselves on the decorations
Do you just keep these for pets?
yes!
who does your fish eat sand? is it a bad habit? do you make them puke the sand out? do they have a nutrient deficiency?
Its natural because goldfish come from carp and carp in nature sift which means that they are looking for food in the sand and the sand that gets eaten its small so it will simply pass thru there system without any harm done
Your my idol💓💓
I don't see maurice! Was he one of the deaths? :(
what is the biggest fish does he have
Where is maurice
PLEASE TELL ME MAURICE IS STILL ALIVE D: I CROSS EXAMINED LAST TIME YOU SHOWN OFF MAURICE ON TIKTOK WHICH WAS the before October and this video is October and dont see her
WHERE IS MAURICE 😭 WAS MY FAV
They’re so cute
I'm glad that you're going to church.
Fish
I am not an expert and this is not supposed to be critique, but I just wonder why you don't add plants, rocks and other stuff into them? Like so they can hide and play and stuff 🙈 Is there a reason why you don't do that?
Why is there no plants or enrichment? Poor things look like they just exist 🥺
I just brought 2 coment gold fish and they are fisty
Some think it strange but I had a coment gold fish for years in a 30 gallon he was one of my favorite fish
Maurice is missing
I go to school? Are you still studying? As a student or professor? Damn you look matured if your age is too young.
I am only 20 years old! Doing my last year of chemical engineering
@@lukesgoldies 20! I thought you might be 30 and doing your masters or even PhD. Anyway love your channel, hope the new system works great
Ayyyy
Please win goldfish wallpaper release
Do you sell fish bro if so how much for like 4 of them I really like how they look
Wc thailand
Noice
just curious, what religion are you? you dont have to answer if you don't want i was just curious
I am Christian!
like
I legit cried out when you showed the crack in the tank and said you'd need to remove and redo all the piping and drive to claim the tank.
I cried inside
Why replace a tank with just one crack when you could’ve sealed and repaired it with FLEX TAPE; the super strong waterproof tape???
But that's a lotta damage
@Silurten R. I figured, but I was making a joke. Apologies.
Ken you give me your goldfish
AHAHAHA i barely watch all your videos this one you look a lot like giga chad HAHAHAHA
Yay im first!!
Awesome!
