I built my own stand for this aquarium & do not recommend using the one that the tank comes with. I found all driftwood & rocks used to decorate the aquarium.

Don’t forget to feed your Royal Pleco. His stomach looks very sunken in. Try algae wafers or some zucchini or cucumber slices. Rubber band them to a rock so it sinks. Tanks all look great by the way man, your awesome keep it up!

It’s hard to feed them that in such a big tank with so much fish, you put the wafers in and all your fish go at it & until the pleco realize that they’re there, it’s already gone.

@@2active4u thats why i feed cucumbers and other veggies to my bristle nose pleco. It takes a while for fish to devour a cucumber, so the pleco has time to graze on it.

Because it's Cichlids tank, i would say some tall silk fake plant would be dope 😁. And maybe add some fake leaf litter too.
We need more Miles content, he’s hilarious. Love the video Carson! It’s so crazy to see the fish room is coming together!
The tank looks awesome mate , cant wait to see those cichlids in their new tank ...
The tank is looking awesome! I can’t wait to see the cichlids in there. Keep up the great work. You really know how to take care of things.
The tank looks amazing, your cichlids are gonna love it. Can't wait to see them going into it. Keep up the good work
The new tank looks amazing! I can't wait to see the cichlids in there! I love your videos they are very entertaining and Carson I see how much effort you put in each and every one of them, so for that I want to thank you. I subbed last year during the old pond videos and since then I have watched all of your videos! You even inspired me to start keeping fish and turtles! Keep it up!
Man this take makes me very inspired on what to do when I get older keep up the good work
I just discovered your channel and I love it. I absolutely enjoyed watching the setup of the 125. It is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. So exciting!
I love your videos!!! Everytime I'm anxious I watch you, thank you very much for helping me calm down. You're amazing, your aquariums are beautiful and your love for them too.
Been a fan for close to 2 years now. The videos keep getting better and better. Favorite one yet!
You don't understand how happy your vids make me! I am new to your channel but I am obsessed with your channel. Keep up the great work!
Carson you got me hooked!!! But please more vids just a weekly on on how the pond is doing or hints to us on how to avoid common problems in our tanks!
I WAS SO PUMPED FOR THIS!!!! have been watching your channel since 100 subs have loved your vids since!
Out of all the "setting up" videos on KZread, this was by far the best I've seen.
Really looks great! I did not realize how easy those filters are to put together until you showed us. I may have to get one now!
Looks great cant wait to see it all finished! I was stalking this page lol. I love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
Love seeing the growth on your channel! Growing quick!
If I die and get re-incarnated as a fish, I want to be one of yours. Keep it up dude, awesome videos!

Nice looking tank. The cichlids are gonna love it.
When i was looking at the tank i thought that it could use some plants! Not just in the open rocky area but behind and in front of the driftwood. Loving your vids keep it up!
That took long enough let’s gooo with another good video!

Good luck with your new tank, 125 gallon is a great size. I agree with you about adding more stones to the other side. Great video
The new tank looks great ! I was watching with my 5 yr old Grandson (He likes fish too!) & he couldnt get over how BIG that tank was - Lol ! We have two 5 gal tanks with a male betta in each. One is his & one is mine. He thought your tank was very cool ! Can't wait to see the fish in there....
This is sick!!! Keep up the good work!
Your content is just so good! I’ve been watching for the past few months now and you’ve inspired me to get a turtle. I am in the process of ordering everything I need. Still deciding which species I want to go with. Keep up the great work! God bless.
The fish room is looking better every video love the hard work.
I your videos! I’m getting my first fish and you helped me showing how to care about them.
Keep up the good videos!!!! I Can't Wait To See it finished!
¡Let’s Go! Keep up the great work Carson. Your hard work is paying off. 💥🙌🏽🙌🏽
Looking good with the new tank. 👍
the best channel ever i was searching for a channel like this
Good stuff, thanks Carson!
I'm always so happy when I see that Carson's posted keep up the great work man
you are the best youtuber you have inspired me to get my own cichlid tank
Wow! Another amazing video, keep up the good work

I saw you on the Dodo & subscribed with all notifications. Thank you for being such a positive spirit!👏🌞💛✨🐟🐠!
great vid Carson keep up the good work #road to 100k.
Some seachem stability really helps when setting up new tanks.
Yes been waiting for this good work Carson scape looks awesome
Awesome video Carson
Good job dude for coming this far!!!!
Pretty much a long video that I always love❤️❤️❤️
Amazing😍 have been waiting for this video. Great work! Eager to see your turtle tank setup too😍 Hope that comes soon😇
You know it’s a good day when Carson posts a new video let’s goooo!
One thing I would advise you to add to the stand. Add 4 more 2x4's on the ends. 1 one each leg, where the front and back long runner board connects to the side pieces. That is the only weak spot you haven't addressed. In that spot the aquarium is resting its weight on the 4 screws unlike the middle that is supported. Other than that the stand looks awesome. Keep up the awesome work and enjoy watching your videos.
Awesome tank!
Paul and Carson uploaded today...... It's a banger
Bout to get to me a 125 gallon in a couple days thanx for the awesome setup tutorial lol
That 125 is looking sick!!! Definitely needs a cave, or some bigger rocks on the right. Also maybe a few smaller rocks/stones around the base roots of the drift wood so it has that more natural feel to it :) x
Been waiting all day for this!
Love the details 🥰🔥
Omg love the tank and wish you the best!
I’ve been waiting for this moment
So exited for the fish can't wait 😀
I was having a bad day then I saw your video and it made it 1000000x better ♥️
Love the tank man
Love you're vids may God bless you and I hope you bring cool and rare fish in the future
That Aquarium is so cool
Wow finally. I’ve been waiting for this ❤️

damn man that stand looks amazing nice work!
Been waiting for this !!
Hi Carson….great job on that tank stand…..you have a great drive like I did in my younger years!!….you can get a boot and shoe tray for the bottom of the stand and then you won’t get the carpet wet!…I think two would do the trick!!….love the place o!! They are super and easy to care for..algae food they love!!….you decorate like my brain thinks….if I were a fish type, what would I love in there with me?..lol….wood grain contact paper is great, tape it to the edges of the glass using packaging tape…it comes in two widths, can trim with a razor blade…you will have hours of silent entertainment for the p.m. hours!!..I used to sit at night and watch them in dim lighting…so restful after a busy day!?..keep up the sweet habitats!! Good luck!!👍👍👍❤️talll twisted grasses in three spots will add hiding places and a natural feel for them to relax and grow also!!…super sweet…the bigger the expanse the better I sayM
Great video man
I love your videos and fish
Love the channel and keep up the good work
Awesome video bro Can’t wait to see the fish in the 125 gallon
Sick vid keep they amazing content
the sand is also a great bio media. the aquascape is looking nice. reminds me of iwagumi style tanks
I ❤️your Videos… you do this hobby right..✌🏾
Im just seeing this vid now but looks totally awesome. I want to upgrade to a 125g hopefully this summer.
Dope tank🔥
Let’s go the 125 is finally getting setup
You make putting a background on the back of a tank look so easy I always struggle 😂
I have that same filter. For an off brand it does great 👍
I highly recommend getting a Fluval FX6 or fx4 for the 125. They are much better than the sun sun ones.. I’ve had both filters.
Sweet! Carson uploads on my half birthday.
Quick tip: I buy my sand from Home Depot. It’s a 50lb bag for $5. I believe it’s called play sand or something to that effect and I love it. Or I also buy my sand from tractor supply which is like $10 for a 50lb bag and it’s black and it’s called black diamond blasting sand I think.
I love your videos they always make my day when I see that notification go off, also should get a peacock eel for your 55
