Ep. 2 Igloo Tank (The Final Build) 10 gallon Internal Sump Aquarium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 сен 2020
- First of all, working with superglue and epoxy can be hazardous. I had all the windows open and tried not to breath in too much of the fumes. With cutting glass, I used a very wet sandpaper to dull the edges, and then washed the glass in running water. I used wet sandpaper b/c I didn’t want to breath in glass dust.
Making the igloo:
I first used aquarium safe silicon to stick the pebbles together. Later I realized that the pebbles should’ve been washed and dried before using silicon. It still didn’t matter b/c silicon doesn’t hold the pebbles together that well. If I were to do it again, I would’ve skipped the silicon part and just used Loctite 401 and cotton. I don’t know if just using the Loctite would work in the long run, but I decided to use the epoxy, too, for the underside.
For the tank itself, there are a hundred measurements, so I omitted them in the video. The tank itself is LxHxW 45x26x35cm or (18x10x14inches roughly) - around 10 US gallons/ 41 liters. 8mm thick low iron glass custom made for me at a LFS. They outsource it to make it, but I’m not sure where.
The thickness of baffles was decided by measuring the pump, and made it wide enough to fit it in there.
If you’re curious about any other measurements, comment here, or email me. I’ll try to answer them.
I actually omitted two functions from this tank. Originally, it was going to have an auto top off and an automatic water drain system when I turned the pump off, but it was going to be too time consuming to build. I still might do an auto top off later. The last chamber in the sump is where the water level drops as the tank water evaporates, but since there’s a lid, the evaporation should be minimal. However, I do have to periodically check the last chamber to make sure there’s enough water.
Some of you might’ve noticed it, but the background is the leftover from making Kartoffel’s tank.

Blue crayfish man. Gotta put something in there that is gonna dig that igloo
That was my thought too.
Yeah, i think that iglo is good hiding spot for them
I agree
But they need at least 20 gallons
I was thinking either a blue gray fish or a white one to match the igloo.
Still subbed mate. Should put whatever your heart wants. We will love to watch as always.

My personal opinion, but THIS is what youtube is for. Your video solely makes the existence of whole youtube worthy. Thank you so much for existing. Thank you for introducing me a whole new world.

If this channel was a subject in school
When they said "Hijo de..." That hit me right in my Corazón Mexicano Caramba
Yo pense lo miiiismo
Ami mé gusta México.
I hope it's correct!
Jajaja yo tuve mis dudas por un segundo que el canal fuera en español, soy de Colombia, pero viva Mexico también!
Le neta sí.
Jajajaja conocemos el sentimiento de un "hijo de..." 😂
I know for a fact this isn’t his last fish tank, this is his passion. He’s one of the best at what he does, and I’m sure he is indefinitely in love with this particular craft.
Blue crayfish man. Gotta put something in there that is gonna dig that igloo
Someone said penguin tetras and honestly because of the igloo I feel like there's no better option.... BUT with an extra cool, big main species of course;))))
I wouldn’t have penguin tetras in any tank they are horrible little bastards, if anyone can prove me wrong I’d be amazed I’ve never seen any tank with them in where they are not attacking each other I had a shoal and they were awful constantly bickering and never swam peacefully.

I missed going to these therapy sessions
I'm not an expert on types of fish by any means, but I really like the idea of going all in with the 'ice' theme to pair with the 'fire' theme of the volcano tank. So in that light, I'd love to see fish with coloration that matches the theme.
YEAH a blue fish or anything kinda blue will be nice
Trueee
Maybe even like cloud minnows, who are like cold water fish!
I’m like extremely impressed with the filtration, came out more than perfect and looks amazing
ruclips.net/video/cr2nWNw8DkQ/видео.html
This dude shows why he's king
A king would have used white gravel, make it snow
ruclips.net/video/cr2nWNw8DkQ/видео.html
I'm beyond excited for this one. No doubt it'll be another masterpiece. Can't wait to watch it grow with all of you.
New journey!! :)
kinda surprised you didn't put in white gravel substrate or even white sand, what with the igloo theme
I mean you’d want to focus on the igloo 🤷🏽♂️ if everything was white, your eyes would be everywhere but the igloo.
@@Luceium01 Black sand then
True. The way he made it igloo does not fit this aquarium AT ALL. It needs white sand and semi white or sky blue background. Since he got two small lamps he can shine them the way that doesnt make igloo blend in.
Maxi any color but white imo
@@Luceium01 snow is white though. U know that lol?
We can't know for sure but I think Satie would approve the use of his music in these videos. I can't fully express in words just how relaxing and calming these videos are for me (and many others, apparently).
I would honestly spend a considerable amount of money for a filter setup like this. I love the low current/ high filter capacity. I think something like a loach would look nice
You might want to take a look at the Fluval Flex aquarium series. It's very similar, if you don't want to build the filter yourself. Only drawback imo is that the tanks are cubes, which is nice for space efficiency, but I wouldn't keep any schooling species in there, except for the 20 gallon Flex.
The Seachem tidal HOB filters have this ability alongside other great features. By far the best HOB filters on the market today.
don't ever stop man, I saw a comment saying this is your final tank and I kinda got bummed out, ur talented so don't waste it bro
no! it cant be 🥺
i don't think he meant final as in last. i think he meant final form of the tank
lilmamagc oh.
Sometime people must do other priorities, his talent will be to care for his fish, and other things, I'm sure it won't be wasted. How about let others choose without throwing guilt at them for a choice they have made. Build people up bro ! ☮️🌟😊
@@tinyGrim1 chill
That was the most satisfying thing I have ever seen.
At first I was skeptical of this comment, but by 4 minutes in I am convinced.
Try checking SerpaDesign channel then :)
This channel is all about satisfying
Welcome to the party
No Username No. 😀 Been subscribed for a while but I loved watching the process.
"What should I put in this tank?"
My stupid brain: *fish*
When you poured the water through the floss and everything started doing its thing... Prima satisfying 👌
Can you please put ME in the tank? 🥺 I want to live under your care. 🥺😭
Ooh i want to see
I will be there too, if he provides a cute tiny screen with netflix in the tank 😁
U nailed it right. This guy takes care very well. :D
I was gonna go to sleep but then I got this notification, Ive missed your fish and shrimp videos
I wish I could find someone who would care for me like this guy cares for his fishes XD
Oof, good luck!
You can
when you said “hijo de” i felt that
what does that mean
@@notavailable1174 it means “son of a ...” in Spanish. Eg “hijo de put*” = “son of a bitch”
2 de la mañana aburrida y me llega notificación de video, que maravilla, el momento que pusiste "hijo de.." reí tan fuerte que desperté a mi esposo 😂
Gaby Camel yo igual rei bastante fue lindo ver algo en castellano.
Idk ur language but LOL
Tropical Ants is spanish it
@@aranZEUS lol
Yo también
oh how I have missed you.
An axolotl would be cool. They love cold water and hiding and their color matches the igloo
While an Axolotl would be fantastic, the substrate would kill it. They eat anything that fits in their mouth, and it would eat the substrate quick.
The substrate and size aren't fit for an axie. They get way too big for something that size. My first axolotl tank was about 20 gallons and we had to switch it out in under a year because my boys got too big.
@@_.-._.-. is yours gotten darker as it getting older?
This guy: hijo de...
Me: ES LATINO??
Que lo sea por favor
O filipino
Primo lol
siempre lo fue
Yo pensaba que era japooo
You should remove the heater and put in some white cloud minnows; beeing coldwater fish, they fit the igloo theme.
oooh a coldwater igloo tank I like it !!!!
ruclips.net/video/Tt7bzxurJ1I/видео.html
I thought white clouds too for the same cold water reason
No
It looks amazing! i'd vote for light blue fish, or shrimps if possible. i'm looking forward to seeing more! your tanks are always so calming to watch updates on!
The piano sounds like this old toy piano I used to play at my grandmas house. Man I miss her
"Houston! we have a problem"
"hijo de ..."
lol man, you killed me there!! Awesome vid like always! loved it! Was a pleasure and inspiration to watch amigo! Thanks so much!
Hey Foo creative as always. You are a perfect example that you don't need thousands of dollars to have a small piece of nature in your home. Can't wait to see what happens next 👍
he the hero we need but not deserved
All that equipments costed a few thousands
@@gymnichjustomartin6150 Yes. Those LED lights are thousand dollar a piece
@@IMaqua LMFAO 😂
“Hijo de” got me 😂
Glad someone else noticed, I was dying hehe
I didn't understand can you plzx ?
@@dr.rameshboricha2349 "Hijo De" in Spanish means "Son Of" so kinda like "Son of a b-word". Hopefully this helps! I don't know a lot of Spanish but I think I'm right. :)
ruclips.net/video/OwGG5fX7bxY/видео.html
hijo de la luna, my first thought
@@nom3nnescio putisimo amo JAJAJAJAJAJJA mis dieses
your tank builds always makes me happy
I died laughing at "Hijo de.."
This man just made the fluval flex from scratch and DAMN DOES IT LOOK GOOD!
No man re genio, ese "Hijo de..." me reí de lo lindo
I love your videos so much. Ive watched every single one, and I will continue. They help me come down from my anxiety spirals and they help me calm my breathing during bad asthma attacks. I adore them, please never stop. Your aquatic friends are blessed and we are blessed to watch.
The level of perfection both in the making of the aquarium and making the video.....i just love watching this
penguin tetra, please!🐧🐟
b/c penguin & igloo kinda speaks for itself
Angel Ho Nice idea. But a 7 cm (2,75 inch) fish in a 10 gallon (minus volume of the filter) tank ?? Foo won‘t do that.
Any household item is always more satisfying to use or look at when it’s handmade. Beautiful tank man, all your aquariums are incredible!
Thank you, for every video you make. This was so needed today, the nice, calming music, the video by a creator i love to watch, and just everything. So thank you♡
so glad you are still sharing these videos! so soothing
IT LOOKS AMAZING!! So excited, can't wait to see who gets to live there!!!
@Wyatt Myers exactly 😅
@Wyatt Myers members get to see the videos earlier
Pea puffer would be amazing with some plants
Yes!!!! Exactly what I was thinking, dwarf pea puffers!
Yeah, would be an amazing series because they have a really awesome personality 😍
I don't know how I missed this the day it came out, but I sure am glad RUclips finally told me about it. This is the coolest tank video I think I've ever seen!
Masterful. I've spent the past week designing an internal filter, frustrated....and I now I am humbled at the elegance and effectiveness of yours. Just amazing.
yo pense que eras japones, hasta que vi ese "hijo de..." JAJAJAJA, fuiste quien me inspiro a hacer aquascaping, continua
Pensé lo mismo
Concuerdo
No
Jajajjaa a mi me tomo muy por sorpresa
es que nunca habla, sus soundtracks parecen de canal japonés y todo aparenta como tal JAJAJAJA
Me on normal days: :(
Foo the Flowerhorn: uploads
Me: :)
Watching your hands work is so therapeutic, so talented. Can't wait to see how this tank progresses...
I think this is honestly my favorite build so far. Love the techniques used and the changes to your build. Just wow.
I've never been this early.
ruclips.net/video/Tt7bzxurJ1I/видео.html
I hate comments like those.
Spanish! That Hijo de... Was awesome 🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️
These videos are so therapeutic. Thank you for all the effort you put into sharing them with us.
The effort and patience and creativity you put into your tanks are simply amazing.
"What should I put in this tank?" Simple answer. Sakura fire red neocaridina shrimp.
blue velvet to match the igloo theme
Nice I love the way it is coming together. Will definitely be one of the best tanks
hey i can’t express how much your videos help me, as if it is an escape from this world. makes everything all right even just for a bit and i thank you so much for it.
Just want to say thank you so much for your vids. I was having anxiety over issues in my life and I couldn’t calm down to sleep at all. This, like all your other vids brought a small amount of peace I desperately needed. Thank you so much for your amazing content.
This was oddly really relaxing for me.
Hey I’ve been watching you for a while. Your videos inspired me to get into the hobby. It really helped me with my depression. Thank you. I hope I can make tanks like yours someday.
This is by far one of the most peaceful stuff I've seen, and it help people who want to built tanks like this.
Thank you.
My God what an amazing filter and heater setup. Non-invasive and efficient. Can't wait to see the journey this tank, too!
Hey man I really love your videos they make me feel better when I’m sad :,) keep up the amazing work, dude!
when i saw final build i thought you meant it was the last aquarium you're making
Love the light on the Igloo.💙
Your content brings me so much happiness and a sense of peace 😊
4:06 Spanish moment. Wow 😅
Artist, innovative and super entertaining. Love this build. I would recommend a pair of some sort of Badis that im sure they will enjoy the cave! Also, I know you have added a filter but I would love to see lots of plants in this tank!
Same, I was kind of shocked there were no plants put into this tank, it looks super empty.
Drakine Razorwing I believe it’s not done yet! Maybe he will add plants when he chose the fish!
I can’t wait for your next video, they fill me with such calm happiness! You can really feel the time and effort you put into each video ❤️
Your videos are like meditation for me.
Thank you.
It’s 2:11 and I’d love for this video to be the last for the night, I love falling asleep after these videos🙈
I love when u joke, because it's everything so calm a joke always caught me of guard and I laugh a lot
I could watch your videos all day. So interesting and calming. Thx.
LOVE LOVE watching your videos! So serene... perfect for a calming nice morning or to wind down before bed..
The DIY skill level is off the charts. I really like the back wall filter solution, it's efficient and looks good. The igloo, though, not my aesthetic at all, I think it looks like a cheap plastic toy... But I think it might look amazing if algae and plants stick to its rocks and turn the white into green. I hope that's the plan...
Jajajjajaa amo tu contenido
Y cuando pusiste el "hijo de" me dió un ataque de risa porque todo estaba tan tranquilo hace unos segundos atrás xd
tal cual, el momento de hijo de...
What does this say
@@graysondidsomething8967 put it in a translator
Can’t wait to see what do do with this tank, thanks for being such a good stress reliever
I am extremely impressed, that is a very intelligent design for an internal sump... Congratulations!!!
Put a dwarf gourami in there. It will make a great addition to that tank i would plant the tank obviously, but it looks nice!!
The background music at the beginning reminded me of Chobits, when theres a deep thought from Chi or when the book is being read to the viewer.
Sekka also reminds me of ghibli films. 💕
Weeaboo
The music is so loud for no reason too
I enjoyed seeing you build that tank. Really informative in my point of view. Thank you for sharing 😊
Please man...don't stop making vids 😪.
These is one of the very few channels that create 100% satisfaction and relaxation vids.
Peacock Gudgeon! A pair maybe, they like tunnels/caves so that igloo would be perfect :)
I came here to say this exact thing!
This is true DIY.. some guys out there call themselves DIY king and dont do anything close to this.
I love the idea with the heater holder, so obvious and simple!!
I’m excited to see how this tank is coming along. The incredibly brief tease in the last video is leaving me with questions and wanting more!
Hi, I’d recommend putting the filter floss under your course sponge, it would stop it from getting clogged as easy
No. The floss is changed regularly and therefore the main mechanical filtration. Its purpose is to get clogged and collect the debris, whereas the sponge is not changed or cleaned that often.
You won’t need to weekly replace the floss if under the filter, but you’ll need to monthly clean sponge
the point is for it to get clogged, it’s supposed to catch debris
It should be catching on my fine particles, ideally you should have coarse, medium and fine. Large chunks will be held by coarse, then smaller on medium and tiniest for fine
PetTide ok mr “300 subscribers” I think he has proven he knows what he’s doing an his followers prove that. Seems you Should be working on your own page
You should get a white crayfish since they will actually use the igloo.
Crayfish need a minimum of 20 gallons. It'd look nice aesthetically, but it wouldn't have enough space.
@@_.-._.-. yeah true.. the tank should be bigger I think, but because it's alrdady built, just put in other fish.
What a crafting skill... im speechless in front of your material knowledge
I deeply admire your patience and creativity, thank you for sharing your passion with us
Something like a school of corydoras would be super cute in this tank!
I think the albino ones would look great!
2:12 That doesn't seem like a good place to put your hand when cutting.
So happy to get you back, miss Dante, miss your bgm, miss your creativity so much!
So excited to see you doing a new build! Can't wait to see how it turns out.
Go for some bumblebee gobys!!
Suggestion: Perhaps a small Cichlid might work. Any species is acceptable.
Also, nice build! Could use some more life.
Love your overflow system ❤️
I have literally watched this like 10 times and it is my most favorite video of all time. I'm not even exagerrating.
