    Feedback: Twist an eye screw into the top of the far end of those boards and wire them back to the top of the brackets. Almost invisible, and a much cheaper way to stabilize the lights than doubling up the lumber, especially at today's prices. Looking good so far.

    Just get 1mm steel wire and guy it back to the bracket Joey. That will help against the bowing effect on the light holders. And since it's thin, almost invisible.

    • @nickm8386
      @nickm8386 3 года назад +4

    I like that the external setups (stands, tanks, etc.) are uniform and of course the inside of the tanks will be different (fish, decor etc.). I feel like it will give the gallery a clean uniformity. I have always liked that your focus on how you set up tanks is making the fish comfortable first and foremost. I think the way you're setting things up so far will put the main focus on the fish and their habitats. Looking great 👍

    Looking awesome Joey! Hey we have all had some moments when we go through stuff and are not ourselves. We just have to have some grace and lift each other up instead of tearing down. You do an amazing job in everything you make, God has really given you a talent! Love your videos and your excitement. It has been a very rough year, I just lost my dad in April, he had dementia. I got to see him a week before he passed due to covid restrictions in nursing homes. Watching utubers like you is very fun, and also learn stuff and you give ideas that everyone can apply. I have 6 tanks, the biggest is 20 gal long. I have a black convict female who is so awesome, she's very interactive with the family. I have a pea puffer, African clawed frog, guppies and platies. I have very hard water too. You do such an awesome job with your tanks, we downsized our home so my tanks had to down size too. I had a 55 gal. for 20 yrs, and a parrot cichlid for 10 yrs. Ok I've written a book, love the new gallery!
