I am also very new to the hobby. Had a 36 gallon bow front for my kid for years and now I am just getting going with my first Cichlid community 90 gallon tank. If all goes as planned I will be adding a 125 this summer. Long story long your channel is fantastic informative and my go to for learning. Your channel cuts down the learning curve for new fish keepers ten fold. Thank you for your content and I will be a loyal follower. Not to mention I tell everyone who will listen about your channel.

I did have a question. I live in NW Indiana and work in Lansing, IL. I caught you and your Bros are from Chicago area. Can you recommend any good fish stores that have good selections. We have The Ark in NW Indiana which is hit and miss on selection.

yes I was just gana comment that as a suggestion. I’ve been watching you for a while and always wanted you to do that considering the issue with the moving of the tank. Congrats! Can’t wait to see it

That is excited.. definitely on my list as well. Good luck

If you want to get rid of that Cyanobacteria you can use Maracyn! Works great. Love the fish room update videos like this!

Great collection 👌🏿

Wow! You should get some stingrays and arowanas for sure....

If the plywood aquarium is big enough a monster south American fish tank would be awsome with a silver arowana, oscar, sevs, peacock bass

Hell ya!! Plywood tank is gonna be awesome. How big are you going. Check out aquarium domain ! He just built a 4600 gallon plywood tank.

Please please please if you get a 300 gallon get a fire eel!!! One of my all time favorites! I can’t personally have one but I love seeing videos of them online

Awesome update... Those upgrades are going to be sweet. Not that you need my opinion... But one suggestion I would give is to put up some plastic drop cloth or tarp around the area you will be building the plywood aquarium to keep the dust from drifting everywhere. I'm still cleaning dust from my desk build a few years ago... Dust sucks 😂

Yes 👏 Im about to do the same in my garage for my arowana. Im nervous as well 😂

Just an idea...hate doin water changes....if you have a drop ceiling its the perfect setup for an auto drip system tied to a wifi controlled sprinkler setup, its very easy to make auto siphon's to keep certain water levels if no drop ceiling hide it in some piping or something to that effect.

Finally a plywood lol

Awesome footage great job crystal tanks 😀 Respect

Wow, this was an awesome update. Your fish are so healthy and beautiful. Anyone who is not subscribed is sure going to miss out. The plans are incredible. The fact that your taking on both at the same time is impressive. I, for one, am readily waiting for the next video. Love from Ontario

Is that wall that creates the nook a load bearing wall? Are there posts inside of it? What is in front of it on the living area side? Could you cut your viewing window into the wall and perhaps have a side viewing window on the end facing the 150? You could still service it from the back. I’m sure you have seen them, but if you have not seen the videos from aquariumdomain , definitely check out his assortment of plywood builds. He incorporated an internal wetland filter in the last two. I’m excited to see your project!

Outstanding!!!! expect more vibrance to see......

It’s not the temperature that’s preventing the crypts and sag from growing - it’s likely lack of nutrients and light. They definitely need root tabs. Both of those plants also take a while to establish, but once they do - they take over. I’ve kept both of those plants at 84 degrees with absolutely no issues.

I’ve used a ton of root tabs and the light is very strong. It’s a combination.

@@CichlidBros definitely worth doing some water testing if you haven’t done so already. Roughly what’s your light schedule?

I will take a couple of the electric blue. I located in West Palm Beach Florida.

Don’t get rid if f the shellies! Just put them in a bigger tank with other Tangs

Clownfish are jumpy. Please put a lid on that tank.

BEAUTIFULL! Can you tell me the size of the aquarium tank where the astronotus and the Vieja are in cm? height width and length and glass thickness recomendation .thanks!

All your tanks look good. How is the saltwater coming along? They take a while to mature.

Amazing fish room ! I have a stupid question. How on earth do you power all the equipment?

For your 90-180G tanks, which requires the least maintenance? I would assume the 90 based on size.

I want some

Are you selling any of the blue acara? Im in the dundee area and would love to get some if possible!

Imperial tropicals usually has them

Do you like tanks with fine sand for geophagus or it’s better with corse sand ? I am currently doing the setup on my 100g 6ft and I did put fine sand, but people tell me to add a layer of coarse pool sand because it damages the filter and it’s harder to clean. Do you agree with that ? I have to say that I like better the look of fine sand ratchet than « coarse ». Sorry for my english

What's your opinion in adding pictus catfish to a south american cichlid tank? 1x electric blue acara 1x red spotted severum 4x keyhole cichlids 2x t-bar cichlids (not SA, I know) and 1x geophagus jurapari Would they be compatible? If not, what other bottom dwellers would you recommend? Thanks!
