Part 4 of the series: Look around for a bigger house to accommodate for the millions of tanks you're going to want to keep!

Please have a safe and wonderful holiday. Thank you for all youve given us in information over this year. And previous years. I’m 70 and have had fish on and off with tanks since 1987. Thank goodness for updated online videos. No more library full of books with lots of outdated info. You’ve been a lifesaver with me starting yet another tank after a big loss. Love you guys. 🎄🎄🎄🌟🌟🌟💝❣️💝❣️💝❣️

Love the bubble lines in a new freshly filled aquarium. Makes me smile 😀

[wendihamlett]

Always nice to be reminded of the basics

[notduxky]

Keep up work guys I just bought a 29 gallon tank and this is going to be my first time setting up a tank .

[carriesweeney]

Thrilled to have found your channel! New fish owners. Could not keep fish alive on a 5 gallon, so we are now trying a 25 gallon. 🙏

[christopherfassett]

Always great to review no matter how experienced a fishkeeper is. With your educational background I'd really love to hear your thoughts on the (relatively) recent discoveries regarding the role of archaea in the nitrogen cycle and what that means for us as aquarists.

I’m actually watching this series now, wish I watched it before re-entering the hobby.
I love how Joanna is being “mom” some of the early looks she gave Jason, correcting his work with the gravel, you two are funny and informative 🥰

[bigmac]

Thank you for doing this series it has helped a lot.

[AsianAmericanGuy]

The demonstration in this video was great not as complicated as just explaining without any steps or showing how to do things. I think it would be easier to show how to cycle a fish tank this way because I only find a lot of videos where people are just talking and not really showing.

[tshaffer]

I went to Lowes hardware and bought river rock, pebbles and salt and pepper rock( looks like marble) . You need to keep rinsing it until it runs clear but it's really worth it at $5.00 bucks for each 50lb bag and it looks so beautiful and natural.

Good morning Jason and Joanna. The way the tank is set up with the decorations look great! I really like h.o.b’s because they are easy to maintain and don’t take up a lot of space in the tank. I agree with idea of black gravel and background. That is how I set mine up. Black really shows up my orange and bright red discus. I always learn something when I watch your videos. Sincerely, Marty Borst👍🐠😀

[josiereyna]

Thank you! As always I really appreciate all your videos!

[farmert]

Grass good idea to hide the filter. Nice set up. You should set up tanks dry and sell them for your business. You have a great landscaper.

[jessebelle]

Your videos never disappoint! I’m looking forward to the next one! :)

[shesellsfish]

Great basic steps to setting up an aquarium, guys.
👍💓👍

[audaciousapathy]

Hey! Love your videos! I am still fairly new to this only about 8 months or so. I have a 5 gallon, 20 gallon, and a 75 gallon. The 75 is the only stocked one right now as I recently reset the 20 gallon. The 5 gallon is my back up in case of illness and injury! I always watch your videos for the raw informational techniques and how to’s! So thank you!

[jennifermartin]

Can’t stop looking at the low boy. Beautiful Tank. Wish I had a place for one.
