  For everyone who is concerned about the fish in the tank, i appreciate your concern and want to remind you that fish welfare is always one of my top priorities. I specifically chose this type of fish because they live their entire lives within one single coral and do not actively swim in the water column. I have also kept these fish for many years and already have 2 active breeding pairs which have previously featured on this channel.<br>In the paper linked below you can read about it but have also attached a direct quote here for you: <br><br>&quot;gobies remain within the coral branches and do not leave their coral host&quot;<br><br><a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ece3.10209">https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ece3.10209</a>

  The fact that he said that he was a marine scientist at the start of the video gave me all the reason to trust him with how he chose the fish. I guess some people didn’t listen, idk. But I think this guy is really cool

  I can see the corals growing over the diameter size of the top hole and not being able to work with it anymore but to break corals off to be able to clean the walls.<br><br>Cool idea tho 😅

  I&apos;ve thought about doing a lava lamp tank before, but my idea was going to be for brine shrimp using a MUCH smaller lamp.

  I kind of like the visible hose that run to the larger tank. It has a steampunk science experiment/lab vibe to it

  As a mechanical engineer and aquarium hobbyist I’m genuinely surprised I’ve not seen your channel before. Amazing tanks and great job on the parts and electronics! I would recommend learning fusion 360 over tinker cad. It’s fairly easy and very powerful. Looking forward to what you do in the future 👍

  Yeah definitely would like to see it in a month. It&apos;s going to go perfectly to &nbsp;plan.

  This is beautiful!!! I might end up doing something similar but as a “refugium” for my little tank
