Transforming Every 40 Gallon Tank In My Fish Room One by One

Transforming Every 40 Gallon Tank In My Fish Room One by One

After clearing out all the mini tubs in his fish room, Cory is now focused on working on the 40-gallon breeder tanks one by one. In the first tank, he decorated it with chicken bone rock and lots of cryptocoryne plants. Later on, he plans to modify the lid to make room for mounting the auto feeder.

    I love the Aquarium Co-Op auto feeder but I wish you made a smaller one for smaller tanks. It sticks out really far over smaller tanks and the hole in the top has to be so big.
    On a smaller tank, enough food fits in in that thing to feed for a year.

    Anyone want some Xenotoca doadrioi? They are a other live bearer goodeid??? I’m nervous to take to LFS because she called them a type of platy…

    Howdy Cory I’ve been watching your channel for years I’m also a customer. I have Family in Seattle. I bought my niece a small aquarium for her first birthday she is cutest thing ever. I told my Family about you and they made the trek to Edmonds to buy their first fish. They made me a short video of the CO-OP that included a shot of my niece in front of the tank with your mascot puffer fish. I never appreciated how huge that fish is until I saw that! I’ve been keeping fish and reading books about fish keeping since I was a kid and I’ve learned a ton from watching your videos. I totally appreciate what you have done for the hobby. Keep up the good work!



  4. Joaquin J Gonsalves on April 21, 2023 at 11:05 am

    what’s the plant on the wall Cory? is it just golden pothos?
    It looks sick, so glad you’re downsizing to make your hobby a hobby again



  5. Syd Miller on April 21, 2023 at 11:06 am

    Loving the old school video, and Cory seemed so excited to be going back to his roots. It’s so easy to get in a rut in this hobby



  6. T-Bone on April 21, 2023 at 11:08 am

    Best intro ever.



  7. U.F.S. - Aquatics on April 21, 2023 at 11:10 am

    Love your setup



  8. Sohaib Qargha on April 21, 2023 at 11:11 am

  9. Muhammad Siddiqi on April 21, 2023 at 11:12 am

  10. Ashley Mackinnon on April 21, 2023 at 11:12 am

    geo scaping?
    i mean it’s still aqua scaping.
    but a subset of it haha



  13. Terry Martins on April 21, 2023 at 11:15 am

    Really enjoyed this video!!!



  14. Colin Gee on April 21, 2023 at 11:16 am

    Stop calling your parts and components “bad boy”. Identify them as what they actually are called.



  15. Mark franklin on April 21, 2023 at 11:17 am

    I was wondering if I missed a video of your turtles actually hatching any of the turtle eggs? Thanks in advance

    Is this saltwater safe?



  18. bryan gillispie on April 21, 2023 at 11:20 am

    Can you give us an update on what intensity you run your light on your various 40 gallon breeders? My 37 gallon is set up similar to your chicken bone aquarium and I’m running your light at MAX POWER! 🙂



  19. Robert Adams on April 21, 2023 at 11:20 am

    Loved this video. Thanks for the tips.



  20. ForeverAFather1st on April 21, 2023 at 11:21 am

    Cory is my best fish friend. Cause literally no one else cares. Thanks for being there for me pal.



  21. Glenn Draper on April 21, 2023 at 11:22 am

    Those aren’t tweezers; they’re forceps.



  22. H J on April 21, 2023 at 11:23 am

    You sound so much more enthused! I love the scaled down fish room, and am trilled to see it more developed and green. Thanks for your knowledge and enjoy nature daily!



  23. Ryan Riley on April 21, 2023 at 11:23 am

    cant find the rocks on the website



  24. Rahamim Davidov on April 21, 2023 at 11:25 am

    Keep the videos coming !



  25. Patrick Goncalves on April 21, 2023 at 11:26 am

    Why do you not use soil or mud from outdoors in your tanks?



  26. Damian Houseknecht on April 21, 2023 at 11:26 am

    What light are you running on your 40b?



  27. Heather Dee on April 21, 2023 at 11:27 am

    Do you think your time with the totes was beneficial? If for nothing else than to just know you didn’t enjoy that form of fish keeping? Is that what it ultimately came down to?



  28. Fernando Alberto on April 21, 2023 at 11:27 am

    Those turtles must have a dry resting área, they are not animals that are completly acuatic…



  29. Davey Larson on April 21, 2023 at 11:29 am

    Great info!!! Thanks Cory!!



  30. Theresa Green on April 21, 2023 at 11:30 am

    Cory demonstrating how a chair works is the vibe I needed today.



  31. Kathy White on April 21, 2023 at 11:33 am

    I’d love to order from you Cory, but you don’t deliver to Canada yet.



  32. LethalHobo 79 on April 21, 2023 at 11:33 am

    What brand of tanks do you use?



  33. 666Maeglin on April 21, 2023 at 11:34 am

    Are you looking for "decorate the tank"?



  34. TheJohnsonsFamily on April 21, 2023 at 11:35 am

    That one turtle is like “dad hi dad , dad feed me “ 🤭😂



  35. Cynkatt on April 21, 2023 at 11:37 am

    horticulturalist. what you said about the dying leaves being consumed is kind of false, the plant uses energy to try and recover /save dying leaves so it is actually more taxing on the plant. if the roots are good it will still be fine but the process of recovery will be slower if you leave dying leaves on. completely opposite of what you said. they do not represent nutrition that’s totally false!



  36. ShelbyRae Lane on April 21, 2023 at 11:38 am

    This was so cool, like way way back in the day. Cory, no fancy stream, just talking to us as he’s trying to film one handed and do stuff with the other whole showing and telling and talking and ambling round the fish room. Love this, just wish it was longer, but that’s what Sundays are for…
    👍❤️👍



  37. ummmyeah on April 21, 2023 at 11:40 am

    Looking forward to my new order. Got your tubifex worms to see how my guppies enjoy them. Thanks as always for what you do



  38. Cailyn on April 21, 2023 at 11:42 am

    The intro, I love it 🤣



  39. Michael Duvall on April 21, 2023 at 11:42 am

    Iam going to buy a aquarium what’s the best brand aqueon marineland seapora I heard bad things about marineland



  40. Blake Adams on April 21, 2023 at 11:43 am

    LOVE these videos the most!



  41. Andrew Shaw on April 21, 2023 at 11:45 am

    I would enjoy a play by play of the steps taken to get rid of the BBA on plants. I have been working on it for what feels like forever. I have defiantly stopped it from spreading but just can’t seem to make it completely go away.



  42. Connor Costello on April 21, 2023 at 11:45 am

    Baby tears and big bulbitis diffomus.



  43. Coal Cupcake on April 21, 2023 at 11:48 am

    aww i love the white goldfish, we had one for 7 years named ghost who was also white. But we gave him and his buddy away to someone with a bigger tank than our 45 gallon. I rly love the shubunikun kind of goldfish ,all my high breed ones died in 5 years or so. But sadly they need a lot of space that we dont have atm.



  44. writerinchains on April 21, 2023 at 11:54 am

    Love those rocks, so gorgeous! I’d put blue fish in that tank. Maybe a school of blue neons and/or blue shrimp. The contrast would show off the rocks and the inhabitants really well.



  45. Mark franklin on April 21, 2023 at 11:58 am

    I really enjoyed this video thanks for sharing 💗💯✌️👍



  46. Trauma Healing & Prevention, ORG Support on April 21, 2023 at 11:59 am

    Cory, have you seen the new article from Real Simple?

    Duckweed has hit mainstream recipe generators!

    "Meet Mankai Duckweed" covers the health benefits and nutritional value of both wolffia and Lemnia varieties.

    I’ve got families buying duckweed from me in much larger quantities than the fish stores ever did. 😊



  47. Savanna M on April 21, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    Your pothos leaves are getting bigger because it’s climbing and maturing 🙂 I had mine climbing up and down some stuff on my wall and they’d get bigger on the way up and then smaller again as they went back down



  48. Bec on April 21, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    Another vote for my favourite type of video. This is also actually my favourite type of tank – simpler but geared more towards the needs of the fish and ease of maintenance rather than just the look of it.



  49. Sarah Woodring on April 21, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    I’m really looking forward to a diy video on customizing glass lids to accommodate autofeeders. I love them in growout/breeding tanks, but I have an awful problem with evaporation in lid-less tanks.



  50. jp flores on April 21, 2023 at 12:00 pm

    Please help!!! I have tested my water and the parameters are all great. Zero amonia, zero nitrite, zero nitrate, and PH is 7.6. My 30 gallon tank was cycled for a month prior to putting in fish. I have been able to keep ny 2 Cory Dora’s, my Molly, 2 Platys, and 2 GloFish. Today my last guppy died. I have 14 guppies from all different fish stores and they have all died. Why can’t I keep my guppies alive?
