i love that you got me so deeply in love with the aquarium hobby. My love for fish tanks can be traced back to you almost entirely and i cant thank you enough for the years of entertainment and information that you have provided
Great job mate. It's better to overengineer and be patient, plan beforehand with a job like this, than be impatient, rush because you're eager then possibly have a leak in the middle of night or when you out shooting pool with buddies. Then in hindsight you think I should of did this to prevent that. What I took away from this and my own experience, is patience, forward thinking and research what you don't know will reward you in the end. Can't wait for final result. DIY is back😎👍
Great video again !! Never fail!! The wait was worth it. Only RUclipsr that I can watch the entire video without skipping or cutting it short. Keep them coming my guy! Btw your wife’s channel has a lot of potential, she just needs a few Joey ideas to get in the right direction.
This looks incredible. lol the shade thrown at aquarium domain for exposed wood. This is really good , better than I thought it would look. Very permanent and can’t wait to see the ecosystem inside it
As a carpenter I love these types of builds. One question..... did you use stainless steel or aluminium fixings? Even under epoxy steel will rust in time.
Finally doing what I would have done with your fish room. A few huge aquariums instead of a ton of smaller ones. Water is easier to maintain and you can have much cooler more realistic biomes in the larger tanks.
Joey its wise to try to predrill holes when you can also if your worried about splitting the wood heating up the screws will stop that 100 percent. That been said i love your channel and what you made
It looks great but I have a question. Why press it against it? Wouldn’t it be better to cut out a pocket (I guess that’s what it’s called) in the middle of the wood and fill it with silicone and then slide the acrylic panel down? I don’t build anything and I enjoy your vids but I was just wondering.
Around 11:59 after viewing the bracing I was saying to myself, "Man, that is going to be solid. It'll be a tank". Then realizing I made a cringe dad joke.
could u please paint the gallery the same color as the 2000 and 16 foot, i know this is not that easy, but i think this would make every tank stand out even more. this itches me for so long hahahha
I don't understand the extra wood around the seams? Isnt it usually sharp edges where epoxy fails? I reckon putting a piece of wood with a triangle profile around the seams would make more sense
Looking at that and comparing it to my plywood aquarium I can say you overbuilt it alot. How about a series of trying not to overbuild. I used quality birch ply. You probably call it Scandinavian. I used 15 mm thick plywood and nothing else. The top is a plywood sheet with two holes. Then I used fiberglass and epoxy. Albeit my aquarium is not just as big as yours it’s 295 cm long 53 cm high and 78 cm wide. The stand is overbuilt to prevent warping and there is foam in between. 12 mm thick opti white glass. Technically 10 would have been enough but tock 2 mm extra.
Great video 👍🏽 Romans 5:17 KJV For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Good stuff man. I’m wrapping my own stand and tank today, so I laughed when you said that part. Looking forward to the next update!
Your tank looks good too. Cant wait to see Nelly and Bruce in your plywood tank.
Probably the cleanest plywood aquarium I've ever seen, phenomenal job Joey! 🔥
You're so excited Joey! Love that energy
i love that you got me so deeply in love with the aquarium hobby. My love for fish tanks can be traced back to you almost entirely and i cant thank you enough for the years of entertainment and information that you have provided
Joey, I love it. The black with that incredible blue is insane! The top of it is equally great and pleasing to the eye. Love and Peace.
I flatout giggled when you said that you prefer water inside of the aquarium. 😂 Love your builds!!❤
This build is FREAKING AMAZING!!!!
BRO! Amazing job especially with the staggered plywood seams. Glad you never lost your love for designing and building stuff!
This might be your best build video. Tons of good info and it looks great!
This looks so good! I can't wait to see the finished product

The tank is looking awesome. I can't wait to see it finished.
What an amazing thing dude!! You have the creative eye for the hobby for sure!!👍 I can’t wait to see the end product. It makes me want to make my own😎
Awake at 2am Australia 🇦🇺 just to watch your video ❤️ I’m loving this Joey! Keep it up! You are a fish keeper inspiration!
Now, this is the Joey I’ve become accustomed to… great job and video!

Joe u done a phenomenal job🎉🎉🎉. ❤ it
Great job Joey!
Thanks for this Joey 🙌🏾
Amazing, I love this tank more than any other, I think this will be my next project, a little bit smaller do 😅
Absolutely love this build!
So excited for you Joey!!!
As a carpenter I love these types of builds. One question..... did you use stainless steel or aluminium fixings? Even under epoxy steel will rust in time.
Can not wait to see it stocked 👍😎
I missed you at the Hamilton aquarium club auction! Of course the only one I didn't go to 🙄
Bravo Joey
looks great joey
Insane build!
Amazing 🎉
Always nice builds 🔥🔥🔥
I love this built Joey
Finally doing what I would have done with your fish room. A few huge aquariums instead of a ton of smaller ones. Water is easier to maintain and you can have much cooler more realistic biomes in the larger tanks.
Ooooo getting exciting joey xxx
Love the tank !!! I'm not a fan of the blue paint
The looks awesome
Ready for the Hot Plywood Summer! 👷
Awesome work :) 👍
And here I was thinking you’d just decided to take a few holidays. One day at a time and we’ll all be cheering for you!
I would’ve used pressure clamps the big ones from DeWalt two by fours are good idea for the bottom of the glass
Awesome can’t wait to c what fish going in there😂😂😂😂❤❤❤
Amazing!!
Joey its wise to try to predrill holes when you can also if your worried about splitting the wood heating up the screws will stop that 100 percent. That been said i love your channel and what you made
my favorite tank yet
flush cut router bit will give you a much cleaner cut on the viewing panel then a reciprocating saw...
Pretty impressive gotta say
I love how big you have become Joey since i last checked in on ya.
This tank is awesome❤ I‘m planing a 3000gal.
Looking great so far but kind of fish are you going to put in the tank?
Nice!!👍
"I prefer my water inside the tank".... Aquarist quote of the year!! lol
Looks great, just a thought. You love your large decoration pieces. Do you have enough room between braces to get those big pieces in the tank?
I kinda wanna build one of those now!
It looks great but I have a question.
Why press it against it?
Wouldn’t it be better to cut out a pocket (I guess that’s what it’s called) in the middle of the wood and fill it with silicone and then slide the acrylic panel down?
I don’t build anything and I enjoy your vids but I was just wondering.
Try triangle silicone bead doesn't trap air it's how we glue windshield in
I built an 8 ft x 2ft x 2 ft plywood tank exzactly like you ,6 years ago and still good
Thanks mate
Or you can join the members only, already see all this along with where the aquarium current state.
Fired Up Build!!!
Those braces will stop a tremendous amount of light going into the tank👍
wow this is insane. dying to know what'll go in here too....
Done.
Except for testing, plumbing, filtration, electrical, bottom substrate, plant media, fish, etc.
My mind can’t wrap around how these wood tanks don’t leak 😂😂😂. Time to build one I think.
I like the plywood braces way better than 2x4 braces. It will never split
Can't wait to see fish in that aquarium
Most likely guppies then in 2 months he will rip it all down
Love it but not my taste in aquarium too chunky 😅but love the work keep it work joey u legend
Early club 🎉
Mehoy minoy
Canadian: I would compare it to syrup.
Me: Of course you would lol.
Will that work for saltwater?
Joey Jesus of Fish Keeping and Awesome Builds!
Comparing whatever to syrup sounded so Canadian lol.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice setup, but I def would have gone black on the inside. Not a fan of blue. Unless it's going to be marine, then maybe I'd be ok with it.
I’m surprised you don’t make it out of some old dusty steel.🤣🤣💪
I don't understand the extra wood around the seams? Isnt it usually sharp edges where epoxy fails? I reckon putting a piece of wood with a triangle profile around the seams would make more sense
Still not sure its big enough to hold a Beta mind. :) really cool tank though looke amazing
💪🏻😎
So rough looking did stevie wonder help
10 min gang 💪
💪
I would've painted it green. But you do you
Sick
What happened to previous aquariums ?? All gone again??
I hope this aquarium has a massive school of Cardinal Tetras, and is aquascaped like a wild river.
Put a dovii pair in there
👏👏👏
I love the blue color 💙
This tank has been “done” in every video lol
🐠🐠🐠😮😊❤🐟🐟🐟
Covering your seams with more seams is not the right answere. The best thing to use would have been bathroom water proofing paper
Ice-a-purple = isopropyl
Thats how i say it 🤷♀️
Enable automatically generated captions please, please
Oh my goodness the ending is so close but so far away, hurry up Joey, I’m getting too old for this 🙂
Ha. You said hardwood
Or you’ll miss it!😂
I bet he shut up a bunch of people saying silicone doesn’t stick to acrylic
Looking at that and comparing it to my plywood aquarium I can say you overbuilt it alot.

Tank is too short looks silly.
