This is a video on how to plumb a glass aquarium. Included shows sizing a sump, building the weir, sizing the bulkheads, drilling the tank, etc..
While this video is not as detailed as i would have liked it to be, as i lost some of the footage for it, feel free to start a discussion or ask questions on my websites forum. The link is above.

The kids were just babies back then. lol
Omg i cant even recognize u here jesus
What would you say would be a good flow rate for koi? Still 6x? Or more because they create a lot of waste, if so.. what do you suggest for flow rate turnover?
awwww he a baaaaybe XD still got the info though XD
What the hell, he looks like a gangster when he was young 😂
I think it’s just me that still watches these old ones
Old Joey before his voice changed.
Going back pro you put on some muscle lol
Hi there Joey! I hope you can reply to my message. Is Aquaspeed A6000 enough for my 326 gallons? I really do appreciate your feed back. I'm a big fan of yours.
David Blaine!! there you are
This video is a must even for "pros"… I'm re building my wiers and overflows; watching this video was a great overview as well as a detailed look on a diy system.
Joey, never knew you were an Abercrombie man hahaha
Hi Joey
What do u recommend when building glass tanks.
Silicon them on side of bottom panel or top of bottom panel?
kill me please
to be so young again!
Hi Joey, I'm one of your newest followers and am really enjoying your videos! My question: HOW WOULD YOU CAP, COVER or FILL DRILLED HOLES IN THE BOTTOM OF A GLASS AQUARIUM?
Love your vids but way too many adverts
I just got a 75 gallon per drill tank and need help
Wouldn't fish jump over
Have you ever considered changing your standpipe into a bell siphon? Then you can fill behind the weir with bioballs or some other media and it becomes combined into a biofilter. Those of us who are new to your channel don't know in which video you talked about silencing your standpipe. You have a LOT of videos. More information would be appreciated.
Why do you use PVC vs ABS pipe?
What size pump are you using? Does that matter much? I was thinking more gph the better, but I am new to the overflow and sump genre ☺
Joey, How long does it take to cure the silicone? I added a weir to my sump , thanks
Can I do a conner matt filter & a wrier all in one .
nice job on video showing details ..
What size is that drilling head? What hold side should drill for a 6x2x2 tank?
Instead of the standpipe, it'd be quieter and more efficient if you just filled the triangular section up to it's top with filter media like scrubbing pads or bio-balls; that would not only kill the noise, but add to the overall filtration.
how do 55 people give these thumbs down? Is it trolls runnning around giving thumbs down or do people hit the wrong button on accident its perplexing.
Great Video Joey !
If you're drilling glass often, you definitely want to keep it wet. Glass dust can kill you. Google "silicosis".
Hello! Please could you tell me how could I improve the look of my fish tank? What I want to do is to paint the lid and trims. Mine is black and I just wanted to make it look more modern. Thanks
This is an awesome video. I recently bought a used tank which already has a weir box and everything, but I am not entirely sure I want a sump as I have two Aquaclear70 filters that I want to use, so I've been thinking of removing the weir box instead. Is there anyway I can seal the hole there? it seems pretty impossible.
I have been scouring the internet for these answers, THANK YOU.
what would be the reason behind doing this ,i have not come across this before?
I was just wondering why the wall for the overflow is so short? isnt this essentially going to give you a low waterline?
what happens if your overflow clogs?
hey joey… i have been looking all over the internet on how to build a turtle tank… the problem im having is there need to be a dry side of the tank… ya'know some where the turtle can climb onto land… do you have any idea on how to achieve this???
Can you drill holes at the top of the weir instead of cutting teeth or will there be some sort of ill effect of doing so?
is a 1/2 bulkhead good for a 20gallon water return line. would that be enough flow per hr for the 20 gallon.
i plan to use a 29 gallon tank as a sump but i dont want to ruin it if i ever wanted to use it as an aquarium is there a way to install baffles without using silicon i heard somewhere you could cut air tube as use it as a seal any help would be great
Your voice reminds me of the guy on that show, New Yankee Workshop
good stuff
@uarujoey do you put an air stone in the bottom of the weir to increase circulation? Being that water takes the path of least resistance the bottom of the weir would hold stagnant water??

Just noticed the bit on the drill is in reverse not forward. Counter clock wise
Great vid bro
Can you do another HOW TO:Build an aquarium?
