Crazy project Crazy music 🎶🤪🎵

IM CALLING MY ATTORNEY AS WE APEAK

🙋🏾🙋🏾🙋🏾😁

If you or your client was too dense to mute the track and run music on another browser tab I'm afraid there's nothing the legal system can do to help. You can't fix...

I kind of enjoyed it

It was so bad my laptop closed by itself....

I agree, I was planning to do a much larger sump/filtration room, but ended up downsizing because we had some other ambitious plans for where the refugium is now... but ended up not following through so we ended up with what you see. One of my biggest regrets with the project. Soft corals are definitely something I plan to experiment with in this setup, hopefully sooner than later, just need to have the time to really dedicate for that and make sure the parameters dont swing as much as they do seasonally. That was part of the plan the whole time to have massive colonies of soft corals, but we all know how plans go lol I am very curious how they would fare with our northern sunlight.

I've put grubes gorgonians through hell accidentally ..... Slap some in there lol

@@TheWildWillauers there are some corals that people even consider pests, some clove corals you could put in a toilet and they would survive.

I was wondering the same thing

I didn't even think about the loss of heat. Maybe this would have been fine in places that don't get to freezing but now I think the tank might be in trouble

My guess is an insane amount of maintenance, daily. There is absolutely no way to avoid it, under those conditions .

Possibly has a insulated panel that is put in place during the winter months to cover the glass/acrylic? And only took pics with it off during the winter for the "WoW" factor

@@mcbridemotorsports5788 That’s possible, but even double plane windows have to be engineered to prevent heat loss like that. Furthermore that doesn’t solve the continuous and rapid amount of diatom and hair algae problem caused by exposing a tank to direct sunlight.

Wow I really really appreciate that! Would love to see your build, there’s so many different ways to build and love getting ideas and different perspectives from others in the hobby!

@@TheWildWillauers Be sure to take a look at our videos on 1000 gallon, 20 part series.

@@TheirWorldAquatics awesome, I’ll be sure to check it out! You’ve got me subscribed! Im kicking myself for not documenting as much like you have

The music could be better though

Oh man I am sorry to hear that, it’s never fun to lose a fish let alone several. People think Im crazy but I get attached to these guys and when they don’t do well it really gets to me. And you know I think any sized tank can be amazing. I find “smaller” tanks to be the most beautiful because of the attention to detail that goes into it. And that’s awesome that you and your 11 year old can bond over the hobby! hope to see your tank set up soon!

@@TheWildWillauers thnks bud I appreciate it ya I jus got a 20 gallon tank at petco cause thts all I really can afford due to health problems and outta work last year so I surprised my boy with it I had to sell bunch of tools I had cant use it anymore sold it on fb and slowly we have a few peacocks in it he loves his red empress and sunshine alunacara peacocks but we can't put to many in it but hey it's peaceful to watch I always since I was a kid loved fish im 41 now the loss of our last tank still bothers us I get attached watching them grow jus beautiful I can't explain its our daily medicine to sit n watch but one day ill get a bigger tank I have a few things I'm selling on market place generator ladders etc so I can see my boy enjoy his tank again hopefully someone will buy it soon sometimes u can find cheap deals used tanks on Craigslist mayb I should play the lottery and get lucky n get our dream tank like u have jus so breathe taking my son loves your build jus so amazing we would be happy with a 75 gallon or 50 ill post a video soon bud thank u for replying back means alot when someone u don't even know messages us back its a humble experience

Lmao 😂 😂😂

Hey I really appreciate that, Ryan!

@@TheWildWillauers You're certainly welcome! I'd be happy with a saltwater tank that I could put in my living room, let alone one that takes up part of the whole house!! Haha

Thanks! The temperature is actually very stable during the winter, only have one heater in the sump and very rarely will it turn on. The tank usually hovers around 77F even during the coldest nights. There is no room heater, but the volume of water and the greenhouse effect keeps the room temperature always above 60F at night. The acrylic at this thickness probably has a decent insulation factor. I will put a foam insulation sheet over the outside window on the coldest days which helps too
