Lol basically he sayin don't waste yo time on building one because its hard and you can't do it save yo money and buy one from my store .. You a dushbag on that buddy. 224 ppl came to know how to build a tank not how hard is it and ill be the 225. You should change the title "reasons why you shouldn't build an aquarium"
So, what I do if I want to build an aquarium is don't do it. Instead I should let professional installers do it. Right. (Leveling shotgun to your forehead...)
No hate on my mind, but i do have to agree. Change the name to the video. It is very informative but doesn't touch on the subject the tittles leads the viewer to believe.
This guy works at a store which sells aquariums. He is trying to persuade people to buy tanks rather then build their own so he can make money. This video is a sells ploy and not factual.
this is crap!!! the reson why these crap stores tell us not to build our onw tanks is couse they want us to go spend our money at theire stores.... Lame we can can do it oursevles.. we not thupid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dude is a retard. To make an aquarium all you need is 3/4" thick plywood, and a large thick sheet of plexi(or real tempered glass). After the shape is made use fiberglass sheeting and them epoxy the whole tank. Once that dries put the glass in and use silicon and wight down the glass while it dries. Then a simple leak test. Filtration is a whole different story but some PVC and a sump is great.
@NicksAquariums well duhhh retard ,most people dont work in glass factories so they dont get glass for free and have little experience working with glass .
Its all apart of the tank maker conspiracy !! He has been bought and paid for by the tank manufactures to discourage all of you from daring to make your own. lol
While this man does have his point to make which he is entitled to .I do believe he should rename the title to : "Advise to novice the Aquarium hobbyist on buying or building your own tank"
yeah this guys an idiot , i agree it can cost more to built a tank , but what if you want t build a tank to the size you need ? like a 3 foot wide by 5 foot long ? they wouldnt have that type of size in a shop ...and the video needs to be renamed
Dousche, I mean, Dude, wheres the info on building AN AQUARIUM! I didn't click this link to listen to you bable on about it being complicated for you and getting someone in who LEARNED how to build one. ExpertVillage should be re-named ""Missleading titles with ill-educated people speaking shit Village""
What? since when was building your own fish tank more expensive than buying one! i made a 750 gal at some guys office with my dad. good money for us but without the labor all the stuff was only like $600
are you kidding me? what kind of expertise do you need to know the price of a 10 gallon. i bet he priced out those things at walmart because noone buys them in his store since he started working there.
sounds like he took the caulk off the shelf and was like... wow, it's cheaper to buy one.
this guy is exactly why zoos put up signs telling you not too feed the tigers... and why buses have rules like keep your hands in the window.
expertvillage just say BUY and DONT BUILD BY YOUR SELF!!! look at theyr clips! And all other tips ar not "expert" like, all this shit they are talking about i can find on the internet 100 times better!!
I pretty much agree with the other comments here. This video should have been entitled, "why you should let laziness be your guide and buy items from your corperate masters instead of building something for yourself and having a sense of accomplishment in doing so." Prick.
If anyone wants to learn how to make an aquarium, email me. I'll tell you my process. I've built tanks for 25 years. Largest was a 500 gallon acrylic and the largest glass was 220, 7' long.
im really sick of expert village, they try to have a say on everything and they dont give nearly enough info on any subject. also how is this telling you HOW TO BUILD AN AQUARIUM?? its crap
I have to agree-and the 125 gallon tank like mine-would be most dangerous if you screw it up. Or a 1,000 lbs of water will be all over your living room. Now for TERRARIUMS, GO FOR IT! No or very little water :-)
Actually that is the best advice-small tanks are cheap and is cheaper to buy it; BIG tanks like mine (125 gallons), if you screw up you will easily have 1,000 lbs of water in your living room.
I built my 60 for 5.00 Plus 30-35 minutes of my wife and I's time :) So I fure the total cost if we did it by dollars.. Was 40.00.... Including the supplies and hourly rate of say.. 15.00 per hour...
The gain... I got to spend some awesoem time with my Beautiful wife. And Obviously we did something cool that is still up and running today :)
Not all aquariums are this cheap to build... Though i was lucky to pick up the glass for free :) Maceys Closed here :)
I have built my own aquariums, it is not really that difficult. The main things you need to get correct are the thinkness of the glass and using the correct silicon and testing it before you put it in your house with water in it.
You can get the glass at a custom glass shop. Make sure to let them know what you are making and that they cut it exact. Tempered glass works best but must be professionally cut.
i thought the vid was very explaining and enjoyed watching it , and he is right tanks are not simple to build if u want them looking nice i just fineshed a tank for my heated garge custum made 500gallon very sweet and took me almost 3 years makeing it ....but atlast about year ago it was completed with oscars tiger and albino not to fond of the reds , anaways GOOD VID KEEP THEM COMEING
He doesn't really have to be an expert, it's just basic craftsmanship. Glass is a pain to work with, especially when trying to make a water tight perfect box. Would you goto pet-XXXX and buy a 10 gallon aquarium for 11$ or buy panes of glass, aquarium safe sealent and a custom plastic cap for the top and bottom? Not to mention trying to cut the glass perfectly without scratching it all up and getting all the angles perfect.
This is a job best left to the machines, not the men.
