Franks Place (That Really Awesome Show About Fish)
Franks Place (That Really Awesome Show About Fish)
This is a channel for my Fahaka Pufferfish. His name is Frank. Frank recently passed away unexpectedly and very suddenly. He lived almost 5 years. I'm reorganizing his 125 Gallon home for some really awesome and colorful creatures! I hope you continue to follow this channel and continue to grow with me and my aquatic homies!

What type of paint did you use on inside of pipe?
outstanding. I'm gonna build one of these
Love this! Going to try to recreate something like this tomorrow! ☺️
New to building Aquascape. Using spray paint on PVC pipes in a fish tank is safe? I did not know that. 😅
Hello, could you please let me know which paint you are using? Thanks.
Love this idea alot. Probably a odd question but would you be interested in selling a custom similar to this one ? I'm more then willing to pay for the lavarocks PVC and then pay for your time to make and shipping ?
What type of spray paint did you use ? Please help 🙏
Ive seen a few diy vids so far.. this is by far the best looking structure ive seen. Very well done.
Wow, thank you!
@@frankTheFahakawhat type of paint did you use to paint the inside of pvc pipe for tunnel?
I like your idea. However, that HORN BLASTING ran rough shid over your talking. So....I had have to watch it with NO SOUND! I did hit the subscribe buttin, but if ALL your vids have that ANOYING HORN, I will be un-subscribing. Sorry Dude, I just Cant stand it!!!!!
Currently in the process of building this. What do you think about using a spray paint that matches the color of the lava rock to touch up the areas that have an excess of Silicone? My build has a bunch of spots lol.
Excess silicone is ok, you learn to use only what you need sometimes and sometimes you get more than what you need LOL! Unfortunately paint won't stick to the silicone, so as long as the silicone is wet, or 'not cured' you could apply some of the lava dust from the bag to cover in the cracks and fill in the spots where silicone oozed out. Gooooood Luck!!! Can't wait to see how yours turns out!
@@frankTheFahaka I've decided to grow some moss around the bad spots, it should envelop the entire mountain, hopefully showing some of the rock so the textures mix well
what glue was used. is it possible with silicone?
you can use a variety of different glues,, as some people have mentioned in the comments. I used GE*1 Silicone Specifically GE*1 silicone. Others love to use only gorilla glue or super glue...just make sure to read the directions carefully, and do your research if you plan to use anything other than what I recommended.
If you haven't seen my video I really want you to check it out because I start with larger rocks and finish with smaller ones sometimes a big one here and there but I get really good results and you can't see any silicone cheers
I never heard of you before today...never seen your video on this diy BUT I did check out your video just now and I seen we both created this about 3 years ago sooo idk what to tell ya. I didn't copy you or get inspired by your build and I doubt that you or I were the first to do it. Thank you for watching my content and liking my video. I appreciate that very much. Loved your build by the way!!! It was wayyyyy better than mine.
This was my very first build like this so there were some faults that I made like where you can see the silicone.
Pvc will break down and leach Toxins in your water
😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂😂🤣😂 no it won't
🤣😂😂🤣😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂
Oh.. Thx for the mussel species in the title. 👍👍😎
Liked... But, I don't want to train mine to attack bands and fingers. I want to swim with them eventually. 😂😂😁 I have four..🐡🐡🐡🐡
Good luck with that my friend. Make sure to upload the video and tag me in it.
@@frankTheFahaka Thx! 👍💦 Will do.. (ck out crazypufferfish channel. Fahakas) I was watching these when I found Fahakas on Maui. Was soooo happy. 💕🐠🎈
Wow!! If you move to Hawaii, you can have ponds like this. Never need a heater. 😊🏖
I wish I could even just afford to VISIT HAWAII!! LOL! I will keep that in mind tho in case I ever do migrate out to the Pacific!
@@frankTheFahaka So far, I cannot afford to leave!!. Can be poor and happy anywhere.. might as well be somewhere you like. 💦🌈🍻 Fahakas. I have four. 👍
He's looking quite happy in your 'river' style tank! Cheers, man!! 🍻 So, was Frank about a foot long by 18 months?
I have four. Had to ask..
He was about 12" by a year or so..mive never officially measured him but at this time he is about 13 and 14" and eating variety diet of mystery snails and jumbo raw uncooked shrimp. I feed him about every 3rd day
@@frankTheFahaka oh great!! That's why people keep them in huge tanks with big fish.. They aren't aggressively competing, due to a crazy desire for food. That's a really good thing!
Love Frank and your commentary! 😅 Hey, where do you get those freshwater clams or mussels?? Great to see him pulling them off the rock. My four Fahakas eat lots of frozen mussel meat. It's cooked and rather tough, so they have to chew and grind their teeth. 😁
I went to the seafood section of my grocery store. It's better to get fresh seafood from the store in my experience
Very nice
It's brilliant! What lucky fish to have someone who thinks about their needs and wants. Tank must look awesome.
The music is annoying, had to turn the sound off.. and read the description..
That is a brilliant idea but to avoid using spray paint you could use black or grey pvc schedule 80 save you a step just food for thought great video 🤙
I like it
I just picked up a can of this black spray foam. Cost me $14 at Home Depot. $14 worth of rock…. Ehhhhh lol. But this will be fun to experiment with. Have you tried adding stones or pebbles or sand to the spray foam as it cures? I just tried some leftover gravel and it is ok. Kinda falling off the foam after cured
Saw somewhere that they got aquarium silicone and placed a layer on top of the cured foam and then added the crushed rocks.
@@sromero6738 .mmmmmm that may work. But that had to be some heavy rock , unless u plan to glue it in the tank. But that spray foam is so light it just floats every time. I don’t even think heavy rocks will hold it down
@bobduffy7744 he did add some intact pieces into the foam to give it more definition. His waterfall looked to be about a foot and half tall.
@@bobduffy7744 I don't remember if he glued the bottom of it to the aquarium. I personally wouldn't. I would add magnets in the back of the water fall. So I can place a magnet on the outside of the aquarium. So when I need to fix ot clean I can easily remove it.
Fantastic 4 uh?
Plz give me foam link 🙏
Nice project and well described and illustrated but the music was a little overpowering for me.
Nice tank!
Thank you
Nice Decoration. I Am Going To Make It. I Also Upload Video With My Fish Tanks When It's Complete
What the name of your spray foam?
That’s pretty rad!!! Now I feel inspired to make a Rock Bitter lol
what kind of paint are you using?? is it good for fish?
Instead of painting the pvc...just buy black pvc🤷🏾♂️
Very cool
So hard to hear everything you are saying over the music
I've been looking across KZread for ideas for back drops and ornaments for ages and this guy has the best and easiest never thought of lava rock so natural
Awesome!
Always go large to small
Lol the description.
Should have left the music out
I love their derpy faces
Well done. Thanks, a great instructional video.
Great video. I definitely enjoyed it.
Mind Blown 🤯😲😻😻I have all that sitting in my basement thanks you for sharing ❤️💯
What kind of paint did you use for the inside
Great video but you forgot to mention 1 VITAL part to everyone and that is It takes 3 days straight for silicone to dry thats to long to wait especially when you have to glue multiple pieces together to create a cave or ornament so I decided to use gorilla glue that is waterproof weatherproof and mold proof plus it drys within minutes to few hours and you don't have to wait days on end that's my opinion.
What type of gorilla glue?
@@jhengis1971 i used the super glue it has blue label on it and the regular with the green label got them at local canadian tire hope that helps
Doesnt take 3 days....Read the label for curing time on the back of GE*1 Silicone. You're welcome.
How long does it take for the silicone to dry?
Definitely great job got new sub and I'm gonna try this myself as my fish are to dam big not to mention evil geniuses ill make this cave for my smaller Oscar fish who is 7inches and needs protection
Hi I just found a ton of these in my 20 gallon planted tank after finding out about them being in moss balls.. I am fairly new to the hobby and was unsure of what these things were. I just took out my moss ball and saw that it was full of these small creatures. The only two fish in my 20 gallon is a betta and a upside down catfish. What do I do?
I guess I'm the only one who thought the music was nice! I thought it was fun and uplifting. :-)
Best comment! Lol thank you
