Cleaning ALL MY AQUARIUMS - The king of DIY fish tanks 

"There's only one other thing that can make my forearms that sore" 😂😂😂 subtle 😂

Joey, I just happened to think about this. You're actually recycling your water. By draining water into your yard, it is going back down to your well system. Being purified through the earth. Pretty cool!

This is why I love Joey so much, he could have made it to where he wouldnt have any work other than turn valves. Instead. He shows that you can still keep up fish tanks just like everyone else with that many gallons. Inspires more people to keep fish.

For everyone wondering how he using tap water, his water source is a natural well, he mentioned that as long as he has cycled media he's golden

Lmao at that forearm joke. I understand your pain.

Joey please keep it family friendly brother! I struggle to find content to watch with my son and this is a hobby we both enjoy together and you are a great watch for us. Family friendly content keeps me coming back!

Great idea with the over hang drain. I just learned another thing from you. I’m gonna put one together. Thanks Joey!! All hail King Joey!!

Joey. If you put a ball valve somewhere on the drain pipe, you can just close the valve every time you move from tank to tank, then open it again. Water will get sucked out and you won’t have to go lift the hose anymore.

For once I've done all my water changes yesterday, and can watch Joey do tank maintenance guilt free.

This video was awesome, I like seeing the reality of what you do. It's nice seeing how things are done

The thing I think everyone should learn from this video is simply to get motivated to try and figure out how you can speed up your water changes! Joey has always made me think about what I can do to speed things up so the hobby of having fish tanks doesn't feel like a job. :)

Good show. I don't know how you can work, video and talk all at once. It's simply...poetry in motion !!

I really enjoyed this type of video. Its a nice change of pace.

Yes. I loved this video. Put you on the TV and did my water changes along with you. I got a 220 g, 180 g, 100 g, 20 g and 10 g. Always fun to have company while doing water changes. You should do more of these and just talk about random fish stuff, what's new, any cool new things you found or like.

Joey, I love these type of videos, my favourite ones are you making filters or changing around tanks etc.

Really cool to see how you do this. Love the pond vacuum, really clever! Much love from UK

Another lockdown😥🙏 sending you all Good vibes and prayers!! Well looks like we are going to have more good stuff coming up in the gallery ❤️😁 I'm getting ready to do some more water changes myself along with you the King of DIY😁👍💦 I hope you're having a great day!! Thanks for all you do Joey 🙏🌿🐟🤗💚

I just watched a ton of your videos and now I find out you're in NS? A blessing. Stay safe bud, thanks for all of the cool and helpful content.

Great video, really enjoy seeing you do the maintenance dude 👍

Actually, I thought that was one of the best videos. Having a good, easy & fast (given the size of the fishroom) approach to routine maintenance is critical in being able to keep one's hobby effort going for the long haul. THANKS !

Waiting until 'Joey's water change camera' is the third most watched channel on RU-vid.

Thanks for this video. I've always loved cleaning my tanks, even when I had 5 different tanks (saltwater, goldfish, planted community tank, planted barb tank, discus tank). It's like working meditation for me.

Joey I love the video length, please keep them coming!!!

Love the videos Man keep it up was so excited to find out 1 fish 2 fish deliver to Ontario.

You can get a water alarm that you can hang in the tank when the water gets close to the top the alarm will go off and even give you a notification on your phone if you get a Wi-Fi one

Love the work you do! And watching your videos. When I degrease my car I use a small container with a handpump on top of it that builds pressure in it. Then it has a botton you press to let it out. See if you can find something like that and fill it with that spray you had so you don't have to push it that much. I don't know if you understood what I mean, my English isn't that good hahah have a great day !

Great video!! Please do a video on cleaning / vacuuming the gravel / sand in your tanks and cleaning your canister filters...

Hey put a lock of valve on your pvc section. Once you lock it off before you remove it from one tank to the other, it should not break the suction so you wont have to keep adjusting the hose or sucking in the end.

44 years old and female watching since the start :P love the tanks btw

Really enjoyed that Joey nice one 👍🏼

Every time I watch your videos I feel like I need to step by game up. Thanks for the great video

Useful tips. Thanks.

love all your videos

Wow that is amazing .... You only do that for a couple of minutes.... Thanks for sharing ideas ❤️

Great video. You've got a great system.

Love your videos!

for filling the 2000g, could you use a toilet 'cistern valve' or float valve to shut the water off for you when it reaches the desired height?

Organisation is key and you are all over that keep up the good work loving the videos 🇬🇧

Sooo sounds like Joey telling me I can get more tanks.

Great job, Joey.

Joey, get yourself a wifi water valve, you can turn the water off from the gym and don't have to hurry home!

I love tank cleaning its just so satisfying

Gorgeous shot of the Red Arowana at 4:20

Joey I know you must hear this all the time but you are an incredibly bright person with all the methods you do even down to the syphon hose pvc device you made I love that it drain out each tank to an exact 50 percent on all the 120s very precise also how you are constantly moving one drains one fills and with presion I love it also I have a 540 and a 220 and a 75 I to have aros unfortunately I’m in the us so no Asian are for me you inspire me to be a better fish keeper I would love to have the scape in one of my tanks you make them look so natural I love them my hat goes off to you and I have learned so much from you good sir so I thank you your awe inspireing I need that algae scraper tank on broski👏👏👏👍👍💪💪💪👊👊👊

Always a pleasure taking in new Intel...

I have 3 large tanks in my office, a 300 gallon, a 150 gallon and an 80 gallon. By far the the thing that takes the longest when doing maintenance is waiting for the water to drain. It takes me about 2 hours to do 30% on all 3 tanks. I really like that large siphon method to help speed things up over using a pump. It often seems like the best ideas are obvious in retrospect and Im kicking myself for not using bigger hoses in the past.

Proud to break your demographic😁 72 year old granny. Totally hooked!! On my way to clean my tank. My fish say thank you.

cool video. I got some good tips. Thanks Joey

Damn why didn’t I think of that? Start another hose and compensate for the loss of heat. Brilliant!!!! Thanks for showing this. ❤️❤️

💚🌱🍃🌿 Keep safe and tanks are looking 👍👌

Love the thumbnail bro!😂

Smart ideas. Very effective with time management.

The Fritz Cleaner! Thanks for the tip 👍

I didn't think I'd find this vid interesting and you proved me wrong!

How often do you overfilled your tanks? I always flood my house every once in a while lol

Novus #1 is my personal favorite for polishing glass/acrylic. It also leaves a "velvety" layer on the surface. You don't need near as many as sprays from the bottle though

Joey, why don't you add a valve on your syphon, then you can maintain suction every time you move the syphon to a new tank? Would only need one sucking!

Connect pool hose to shop vac to get flow going . The. Unscrew bottom of shop vac and let it drain out . Works great

💕💕 love from south africa 💕💕

I use a garden hose put through a hose bender for a washing machine drain with twist screw clamps to adjust the hose length to drain my tanks. So I can do small and large tanks with it. I have it linked to a tap in my laundry with valves so I just flick a switch to change between draining and filling. Because I can adjust the host length in the tank by how much is coming out of the washing machine hose bender I can set it to drain and walk away and it will only drain to the end of the hose in the tank.

Nice video. Maybe you can do a video on the 2 saltwater tanks.

I enjoyed this video.

Yes most of your viewers might be males of the same age but just dropping a comment to let you know your female viewers exist!!! Watching all the way from New Zealand! Lockdown free over here! Thanks for always being so happy to teach us Joeyi have been watching your videos since well before this fish room! Back when you had the built in wall aquarium for your original arowana! So been a fan for years. Much love from me and my fish! ❤🐟🐠🐡🤘

Sir, you are indeed a master of efficiency. I'm new to the hobby, so excuse me if this is an ignorant question. How do you condition all that water?...btw, subscribed and alerted. Funny how the first video I saw Of yours was the one where you announced you're closing the at-home gallery. Now I've got to go back and do a little catching up. I think it's amazing that you've had such a following over the years. Congrats from Georgia, USA!

Great way to do the water changes 🤙

This is the coolest thing ever!

I have salt and fresh also. I ended up using AI 16 HD led’s reef lights. I like the colors of the reef light vs freshwater led

I love your videos

Try using a small garden pump sprayer for the glass cleaner... maybe Fritz will send u a few gallons to test.

Your analytics for the channel is correct.

14:40 get a pressure gage for your sand filters and then you can judge when they need to be back washed. The dirtier they are, the better they filter. Also don't forget to rinse/flush after back washing.

Flame buffing will work on crazing. And possibly your round tank that is now a filter. Practice on a piece of scrap. You can use 300 grit lightly, on it and practice before doing it to your tanks

Hi joey. Im actually curious that why you did not opt for the easier and convenient way of water change but having additional hole in the tank for draining or refilling the water? Ofcoz if u install total two you can have the flexibility to drain 30% or 50% by just switching on the valve.

thanks for inspiring/reminding me to water change today

You should switch to an electric or compressed paint spray unit for your glass sprayer. Theyre re-fillable and you just pull trigger. They work great.

Nice pipe action. Great idea! 😆

I know you've got a big announcement coming soon but I'm just curious if we can expect any new podcast episodes anytime soon?

13:00 use hose timers. You can set the digital rainbirds.

That is really cool how you made that pipe.

I just watched your "Cleaning all my aquariums" video, very cool, wondering what brand magnetic algae scrapper you are using, it looks like it works very well!!

When joey asked "can you guys hear me ?" I actually said "yes i can!" Haha and my mom stare at me like I am a crazy man or something

How do you have the cheek to say you are a family friendly channel and then go on and make that forearm joke. Shocking Joey, shocking. 😂😂

for the glass cleaner why not try using one of the hand pump sprayers like the ones for for olive oil and salad dressings.

Probably left this comment a number of times before on other vids, but no, now this is the best vid ever on your channel

I remember you saying you have well water, do you treat with prime or anything or just straight water?

That's what I do I work so I got time to do three tanks every night during the week and then usually on the weekend I may have one tank left over that I have to get done and then I can just enjoy the fish for the weekend along with doing yard work and stuff of course

Get some pex and run your water lines. Great vids!!

Sumps easier to maintain vs canisters. Nice to see the filter socks, easy to remove and clean while sump still on.

Thats efficiency at it's finest

I have two 33 Gallon tanks, mines take about 15-20 minutes to drain around 60% with a hose into my bathtub, I have 2 so I drain them at the same time, then I have a hose I connect to my shower I use to fill them, im the opposite where it only takes about 5 minutes to fill each tank but it's slower to empty. You could possibly try using the pressure of your shower to fill them? I keep 2 Nerite Snails in each tank so I rarely have to do anything to the glass as I only keep their lights on 7 hours a day so not much algae grows and they eat it. Maybe once a month I clean the glass. My filters I clean every about 4 water changes or once a month, one of my tanks has 2 filters, one Fluval U3 and one Canister, the canister filter i've had for 4 months and haven't cleaned it yet. The U3's are easy to clean and each time I just lift the lid and take out the 3 pieces inside, take them into the bathtub and fill a bucket with the hose from the tank water swish them about squeeze them and put themm back. Only about once every 6 months would I take the actual filter in to clean it from anything inside it. Usually takes me around 30-50 minutes once a week, 20 minutes of which is just me starting them then waiting.

You may have thought about it or maybe somebody did gave you the idea of putting float valve for your water refills. Much safer, prevents overflows and flooding if ever you got caught up onto something... 😁

That face when he drops the Siphon!

Joey, what brand you use for cleaning the glass the magnetic scrubber? Because I noticed that it as you scrub it ran smoothly. Mine don't do that... It scrub like it's tugging that scrubber.. Thanks.

I work with hot tubs, I drop and refill over a 100 2 times a week, these tubs are huge, 1000s of litres each, think I could help you and show you a few things, all done with in 7 hours, all at temperatures as well, no over flowing tubs no waste water, very easy for someone like you with your gallery

can you use water from ur tap for an aquirium if ur house has a water softener?

Absolutely loved the video. More of the same please

Have you thought about adding a shut off valve to the hose? That way you could close the valve and maintain the suction.

What brand do you use for the algae scrubber? I have went through several and none seem to work like the ones you have, they transition well to the side walls.

Small pump sprayer for your glass cleaner? Like garden sprayer.

Now do we just change water or do we check parameters first?
