a uromastyx needs high temps compared to a lot of other reptiles, which is why i would argue they aren’t in the top 5. I think african fat tails and rosy boas are better for beginners.
One thing I don’t understand when building these big aquariums is why it isn’t raised from the floor? Raise it about 50 cm (20”) and you’ll be able to enjoy the view without kneeling down or laying flat on the stomach. Otherwise a great build. 😊👌
So helpful, thank you so much! Definitely subscribed. The way you've narrated is so straightforward and fantastic - I really appreciate this how-to style of video! :D
I built my 1000g tank on 16-4x4 legs with 3 sheets of 1' plywood on top of that. The top 1' was the tank bottom. There is a 210g plywood sump below it in stand. I had a 21' high viewing panel. It is 13mm thick float glass. The glass is 24' high with 1 1/2' silicon around. The tank has been running for about 7 years now, trouble free. Interesting video.. I agree, overkill is good 👍 I recently built a 300g plywood tank for my dining room and its my predator tank and doing well.
I built a 2500 gallon aquarium in college to prove how territory can limit reproduction! I had 20 pairs of damsels in the tank. Instead of using the plywood for the strength I used 5/16 plywood and 2× 6 but then I used 2 layers of 6 oz cloth and because of the cloth it was incredibly strong! We used 5/8 plexiglass which was a mistake because it scratches very easily! Don't know the costs but was under 1000 dollar's in the 90's😂😂😂
Hey! Enjoyed the video! Love your shop!!! At about 1:17 you unbox a "regal blue peacock". I was excited to see you drop that fish because a couple weeks ago, we came in there and we brought "Bluey" home with us. He has settled in really well with our community tank. He lives with two angels, 4 blue guaramies and two African featherfin catfish. He seems to be happy and they all coexist peacefully. He has been a great addition and I think he will be the star of the tank. We also picked up three corydoras and they seem to be thriving with our other Cory's. Can't wait to come back again!
Like the video I was thinking to set up a saltwater had freshwater already. I was thinking a 125 gal saltwater God bless 🙏❤️ and to all a bless day I also subscribe
