If you wanna have some fun with those halfbeaks, regularly drop some fruit flies on the surface. They don't do this with flake foods for some reason but live foods get them to develop some hunting behavior and they start skimming the surface with their mouth protruding the water like a shark fin looking for something to snap down on :)
My favs are the Face Tank and the 27 gallon cube. I have a 29 Biocube the is starting to fill with plants. I like a jammed tank where the fish just pop into sight and disappear. I just got back into the hobby after 15 years with just koi ponds. Technology has come a long way! I’ve seen all your videos edumakational and entertaining.
I love your steampunk tank, the Into the Woods tank, and your dirted 55 a lot. 😄 Every time I watch your videos I get ideas for my own tanks, which is tough because I have a toddler that takes up all of my time now! (Although he loves watching the goldfish we have. The planted tank doesn't interest him because there are no fish in it right now)
Of all the folks I follow, your videos are always a favorite. I love your tanks. I especially like how you seem to have such variety of fish in them. I tend to stick with 1 or 2 types but yours have so much variation and just cool fish everywhere. It really makes me want to add some more fish to mine.
You can change any tank to a black water tank and then change your mind later with water changes and taking the leaves out. I add leaves occasionally for their beneficial qualities and eventually they breakdown as snail food and after a few water changes the water is light again. It's not a big deal to change what you already have.
Beautiful aquariums, well maintained and clean, unlike a lot of "tour style" videos. I love planted aquariums as they replicate the fishes natural habitat in most cases. Excellent work.
I love it when you do a tour of all your tanks. The steampunk is still my favorite, but you've got new tanks and new scapes coming up...so who knows what I'll end up in love with and insanely jealous over, lol.
A blackwater Cthulhu tank would be lots of fun. My faves are the Face tank, and the Kraken egg crate. Looking forward to seeing what you create. Thanks.
Hi, i love your videos and stories. Aquarium related more than shoping/unboxing ones though. Love your attitude and quality of videos. I found your youtube after your talk with Mike from massaquariums in some older livestreams. My favourite tanks of yours were into the woods before it overgrew. And dirted tank. I love dirted tanks. While watching todays video i found myself thinking that i would love to sneak through your cd collection more than through your aquariums :) Good luck, thank you for the entertainment :)
I've always loved the steampunk tank but I think my favorite this time is the EBI. The shrimp are beautiful and the plants are so lush! I also can't wait for the blackwater tank!!! Yay!
Love your tanks. You have a relaxing Demeanor and I fell asleep watching this.., that’s a good thing. I viewed it again and I enjoy your giant tank with the parrot. I think a monster tank-might be in my future.
I love the overgrown, jungle look. I keep hoping my crypts will decide they like my water and grow huge! I stole your cholla wood trees idea and made some trees for my dinosaur tank. I enjoy dark water tanks. I have several that I have my bettas in.
If you use a fish that is more interactive with you for the steampunk tank it may be better. The fish will come up to the window to watch you. A couple of dwarf electric blue rams would compliment the glowing light you have inside and be easy to see in the dark areas of the tank. They also like a darker tank to breed and they don't fight with each other as much.
I was really looking forward to seeing the steam pump tank again but I have to admit the face tank is after seeng the way its grown is my new favourite , that's not something you can plan and it just works !
Really enjoyed this! Thanks for sharing. I love that you have some smaller tanks in your collection, and I loved seeing where they are in your home. That’s the thing that gets me thinking.. if I want another tank, I’m thinking... where the heck would I put it!😜
Sad to see the dirted tank go, it is my favorite. I also like the grow out tank, 17g cube? Love the jungle look. Looking forward to the new projects as well. Godspeed.
@@pecktec I'm gonna be setting up an authentic 40 breeder Blackwater here soon with green neons that i currently have in my 20 long Blackwater. I'll look out for your video on it
i really like the idea of the big tank, it must be a lot harder to look after...if there is some sort of chemical problem with a big tank it must be a lot worse to deal with...(personally i only keep goldfish but they are incredibly dirty).
I prefer topless blackwater tanks. That way you can have a ton of riparian growth to make up for the lack of plants underwater. Also, the roots can drop down and form extra hardscape.
You have a very nice home and some really beautiful tanks Sir. I think my favorites are the largest tank and the small one in your fourier(the one with the fluval 3.0 nano light). I really like the 56gallon cube tanks, it's a shame they're not more commonly available and reasonably priced. Anyway, thanks for sharing and I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much for your all tanks update, I really enjoy them. Sad about some of the tanks like the "Into the Woods" tank, I hope you return the hand to it (and not another tank). Looking forward to your new builds and especially your black water aquarium!
I really like how you focus on great looking low tech tanks. Not a huge fan of heavily scaped high tech tanks. They look great of course, but it’s a rather unnatural look.
Nice to see all your tanks in one video. They look great. I have a flex and find it limited, not keen on the light, filter and hood. Looking forward to what you will do to yours.....maybe give me a few ideas!
Fluval's facebook page has said both the new flex and the flora are supposed to be available through local retailers at this time. I saw that Aquarium Co-op has the mega flex for sale in their retail store. I don't think any online retailers have them yet. I imagine your local store could order them for you.
The Fluval Ebi looks just amazing, do U have a video of setting that up? Also the steampunk tank is really nice. Looking forward to the Flex build, I got a Flex myself and blackwater sounds like a good plan for that one. Might copy Ur work there, haha. Keep up the good work!
Love all the fish in the big tank, that parrot fish is nice, I’d love to have larger fish some day! (Stuck to only small fish right now until I move out lol) I’m excited to see what you’ll do with the flex.
I found you when I was looking for ideas for a Victorian looking tank so I added stream punk and there you were. I have a Victorian living room room so I need something less modern.. I had already found a place to get portholes I was going for an undersea look..sand a few tall grass plants a few stones ..my daughter thought about glow fish..but I would like to start out with a 10g..so I think something smaller but sea fish looking..🤔🤔🤔..its still in the playing about stage..I love your heavily planted tanks I have started growing out plants for my 10g soon to be betta guppy tank..and a new 20g male guppy tank I had a lot of yellow tailed males born and I think they would look cool with a few neons..
My favorites are the "Into the Woods" tank and the BIG planted tank. Not much a fan of the blood parrot though. Man-made hybrids like blood parrots and flowerhorns kind of ruin the whole natural feel of an otherwise natural-looking planted tank.
those LED's buddy - they should have a better heat sink and probably there is too much current not distributed properly across the array. I would check to see if you can replace the driver - it could be too powerful. Also check to see if they have used thermal paste instead of glue.
I LOVE the dwarf sag jungle in the spec V. It inspired me to rescape my spec V with the hopes it would turn into something similar! The dwarf sag hasn't taken off too strongly yet, but I still have my fingers crossed. Can I ask how long you keep the lights on in your spec V? I'm really looking forward to seeing a blackwater tank in the future! Thanks for sharing all your aquariums!
So glad to see the steampunk masterpiece is still going strong!
Your Aquariums are insane. Such a treat to get a tour
Thanks for the intro!
I need to inquire about an intro! Lol...good job sir!
Please don't ever leave u tube. You make great videos, and beautiful tanks. You are one of a kind.
If you wanna have some fun with those halfbeaks, regularly drop some fruit flies on the surface. They don't do this with flake foods for some reason but live foods get them to develop some hunting behavior and they start skimming the surface with their mouth protruding the water like a shark fin looking for something to snap down on :)
Great video. Our favorite is the 56 gallon column tank.... thick, lush green. Beautiful!
That steampunk tank. Love it
I am so in love with that snail.
Rachel says they are donkey eared pond snails. If you mean the sparkly one.
Thank you.I now need to get some.
Super nice lighting in the room!!!!
The 16 G Spec looks great
I could listen to you talk all day. Love all of your tanks. 💚
Dear Santa:
I've been real good this year.
All I want for Christmas is a MEGA FLEX.
I'll have milk and cookies waiting for you.
Thanks
Awesome tour! Your blackwater plan sounds exciting.
For the 55, you can buy a new piece of trim and rip and replace the trim. Much cheaper than buying a new tank.
My favs are the Face Tank and the 27 gallon cube. I have a 29 Biocube the is starting to fill with plants. I like a jammed tank where the fish just pop into sight and disappear.

I think the Face tank is our favorite. Great colors, great plant and fish choices and looks well thought out.
Love the fishroom Sean- So damn cool!!!
You have a lot of beautiful planted tanks. This was fun to watch. Loved seeing some of your shrimp too

I have the same Tardis in one of my Chichlid tanks.

VERY impressive! Thanks for sharing!
A blackwater Cthulhu tank would be lots of fun.
My faves are the Face tank, and the Kraken egg crate. Looking forward to seeing what you create. Thanks.
Great update! I recently re-scaped my 10 gallon betta tank as a black water. Can’t wait to see what you do. I’m also crazy about the Cthulhu figure!
Glad to see a full tour!

Thanks for the update. I have an empty Flex myself...just waiting for the right inspiration.

Love your tanks. You have a relaxing Demeanor and I fell asleep watching this.., that’s a good thing. I viewed it again and I enjoy your giant tank with the parrot. I think a monster tank-might be in my future.
Lol I fell asleep making it a few times.
Great tour, the Into the Woods tank will always be my favorite. It is the tank that inspired me to do my first proper aqua scape.
great looking planted tanks
Very nice tanks, I really enjoy the jungle look. Thanks for sharing!
The column tank is my definitely my favorite.
You have the most nicely aquascaped tanks on youtube... just spectacular. I always love your tours.
I love the overgrown, jungle look. I keep hoping my crypts will decide they like my water and grow huge! I stole your cholla wood trees idea and made some trees for my dinosaur tank. I enjoy dark water tanks. I have several that I have my bettas in.
The last tank you talked about is my fav 👌🏽🍃
What a beautiful fish room. Love all the plants!
If you use a fish that is more interactive with you for the steampunk tank it may be better. The fish will come up to the window to watch you. A couple of dwarf electric blue rams would compliment the glowing light you have inside and be easy to see in the dark areas of the tank. They also like a darker tank to breed and they don't fight with each other as much.
Thanks for the tour, the way you build your tanks is inspirational. My favorites were the Spec 16 and the overgrown tanks.
All the Flex tanks just make me want one.
Loved the tour!
I was really looking forward to seeing the steam pump tank again but I have to admit the face tank is after seeng the way its grown is my new favourite , that's not something you can plan and it just works !

I really like your product reviews
Thanks!
Sad to see the dirted tank go, it is my favorite. I also like the grow out tank, 17g cube? Love the jungle look. Looking forward to the new projects as well. Godspeed.
How can you dislike any of pecktecs videos how???
pecktec #1 forever
Absolutely love the tanks! Awesome job, sir!!!
Your tanks look great and i highly recommend and hope you set up a Blackwater tank! They are awesome!
Oh I will I have purchased about $60 worth of botanicals already.
@@pecktec I'm gonna be setting up an authentic 40 breeder Blackwater here soon with green neons that i currently have in my 20 long Blackwater. I'll look out for your video on it

Love your tours! All the tanks look great 👍
I love your aquariums!!!
Really liked this tank tour. I’d like to hear more about your fight with algae in the “into the woods tank” - especially if you win the battle!
Love the cube! That's my end goal from fishkeeping, just a jungle in a tank.
Fantastic tanks. Great tour!!!
all of your tanks are gorgeous !!
Thanks Mark!
Great tanks! Really like the last one with guppies.
I think the cube tank (27g?) near the end is my favorite. It just needs some weeding.
My favorite type of video!
Found this channel by accident but one of the best and most interesting lv'e seen.
Welcome aboard!
Would love to talk about setting up the Fluval Spec III for a Betta!
I prefer topless blackwater tanks. That way you can have a ton of riparian growth to make up for the lack of plants underwater. Also, the roots can drop down and form extra hardscape.
Great video man. I like the first tank and the other 2 that have a jungle look you said you just let go.
Great video, looking forward to seeing your Serene tank, they look awesome. Your new Kessil light is way brighter, so expensive lol.
AWESOME!!

Awesome stuff man! I love the lighting in this video.
I want a Flex the 30 gallon one that was at the show.
Oh wow. Amazing
Thank you so much for your all tanks update, I really enjoy them. Sad about some of the tanks like the "Into the Woods" tank, I hope you return the hand to it (and not another tank). Looking forward to your new builds and especially your black water aquarium!
Tabatha Holtz I really like the hand decor there too! Maybe keeping it dry for a while will get rid of the algae on it.
I've pretty much enjoyed this update. Thanks for sharing Shaun 🤗
Thanks Sean! Another wonderful video - always a pleasure👍
I like your second tank, it looks like it came from the move Jules Vernes 20000 leagues under the sea on Capt Nemos Nautilus !!!
Yeap that’s what I was going for :)
Enjoy your videos so much have learned a lot more than I thought I knew, keep up the good work,
Wow awesome aquariums
I’d love to have an in-depth update for the 55 you used the dirted method on.
Your aquariums are so beautiful. I love the big tank with the pair of blue fish. I want to see the fluval aquarium please.
I think you are talking about the big Fluval flex, my lfs is taking pre-orders.That Serene tank by current U.S.A would be really cool!
Mega Mega Mega FLEX!!!!!!!! really enjoy your channel, merry xmass to you and your family
Looking good my man. #🗑🐼Fam
I really like how you focus on great looking low tech tanks. Not a huge fan of heavily scaped high tech tanks. They look great of course, but it’s a rather unnatural look.
Pecktec I have 3 tanks and struggle to keep up I just got some pusdomagil rainbows I highly recommend them I always liked the hand tank.
Nice to see all your tanks in one video. They look great.
I have a flex and find it limited, not keen on the light, filter and hood. Looking forward to what you will do to yours.....maybe give me a few ideas!

Please do a Blackwater tank !
Your tanks look great, by the way, love your videos
I LOVE the dwarf sag jungle in the spec V. It inspired me to rescape my spec V with the hopes it would turn into something similar! The dwarf sag hasn't taken off too strongly yet, but I still have my fingers crossed. Can I ask how long you keep the lights on in your spec V?
I'm really looking forward to seeing a blackwater tank in the future!
Thanks for sharing all your aquariums!
