Cory I agree that marine salt at that dose is beneficial I’ve tried it from your videos in the past here is my question though if I use the marine salt is it safe to dose easy green as well? Or one or the other. Thanks so much for all you do for this hobby
UV lamps are only effective for 1 year, 2 at most for industrial applications. Even when you see light it may be expired. You also have to get the proper spectrum

I brought home some mollies and they’re in the quarantine tank and they ALL have camallanus worms… the reason I noticed, was because I treated with aquarium salts & they’re all pushing them out….will heavy salt completely kill & heal my fish? Thanks man!
I would eat an omelet for dinner any day!
I have 5 of the aquarium co op heaters. I had no idea that there was a problem with them. I haven’t had any issues.
I love it when Cory has to explain basic economics.
I understand the problem with heaters. I replace mine every 1-2 years. 40 years ago I had a heater overheat and kill some fish my father and I had for over 6 years including a huge angle fish.
08:25 Working at Petsmart, I can attest that air pumps have definitely gone into aquariums 😩
Naw Cory, the value offered from the Aquarium Coop products is crazy. When I buy Aquarium Coop, I know I'm gonna buy once and it'll work. If I buy something from Amazon, I expect it to break in 3 months and/or start a fire, and I'll have to replace it (and end up paying more in the long run).
Just recommended the coop light to a buddy who's kid dipped their light into the tank and broke it. It hurts to fork out the cash, but it feels better to fork out the cash for something I know isn't gonna break when it goes into the water.
The stream lasted two days of commuting. Thank you for making a great week for me Cory. I placed an order to show with dollars how much I liked this.
Love the hat
People get "Addicted to Discount"
Poor bronze corys getting no love. Those are some super hardy fish I like them a lot but I agree 10$ is a bit high
Is this his longest live stream? Love it!!!
The number and types of vidoes does not influence my purchases from Aquarium Coop. I now know what I like to purchase from you. I keep a spreadsheet and build my list of what I need/want to purchase and once it reaches the free shipping I place my order.
Super excited for your 4 hour live stream! Finally something good to listen to at work 👍🤙
Nice to hangout with you after being live! Appreciate your streams
People just don’t get how much is involved in running a business and what it takes to develop products . If it was that easy , everyone would do it !! My job involves selling a “ product” that looks very easy on the surface and I get to hear grumbling everyday about how much it costs . They don’t see the $8000 monthly property tax , constant building repairs , not to mention I like getting paid , lol ! But, I’ve also learned that a lot of complainers are disingenuous. They complain to get stuff out if you not because they really care .
You have to learn to let them slide off your back cuz this becomes miserable otherwise . Your business is growing because most people can tell you’re offering a superior shopping experience and top products . Negative people are always louder . Listen to the people who are giving their opinion with their wallet .
You Have the best info love listening to you I have a 55 gallon and a 30 gallon
Love the new location for the lives!!! 🤩
It's funny my wife made cottage pie the same day or the very day after you had it
You could invest in your own 3d printer and save a fortune on prototype costs.
What is a50 dollar tetra can't find it on Google
Cory, I love your fast food/take-out food-based analogies.
Nice cap.
Replay crew. I enjoy listening to these livestreams during my long commute.
I like the aquatop HOB with UV Light because you can turn it off when its not needed. Its easy to change the bulb also.
Cory, you spoke about where you should spend your time and tracking your sales. When I listen to your live broadcast, it makes me want to go to my closet retail partner store and buy Aquarium Co-Op products there. I have bought stuff from you when my local store doesn't have it, such as lights. I know that you track what RPS sells but I would think it would be hard to track sells from live broadcast at RPS. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for everything you do Cory.
What is the model of the Anker USB battery power bank can’t seem to find it!
I got so many laughs of Cory explaining why things cost what they do / people thinking "it's just so easy." So good. 😂
LIVE LONG FORM VIDEOS. I've watched every single live stream on the channel absolutely love it. Thank you for doing these even though they are bad for the algorithm
Been out of the hobby for over 20 years but after finding the Aquarium Co-Op channel I want to pull our aquarium out of storage. Thanks for being an inspiration. Disappointed that all the local fish stores in the local area have disappeared.
The $35k to fun ratio 😂
This long live stream was a great treat.
Shipping is the the same as tipping your driver. Everyone is here to make money. Understand your costs as a smart consumer.
My 100 watt coop heater keeps my 75 gallon at 76° F no problem. It’s in the basement, the average temp of which is 68°. Currently has no light, just a Fluval 407 canister filter providing extra wattage. You definitely don’t need as much wattage as people say.
I couldn't help but place an order after seeing the dog treat section of the video… 😉
Great video. Thanks! 🙂
Cory is 💯 correct as far as the cost to retail something! I run a retail business and Cory is spot on!!!! It's not easy!!!
Heard sale on brine shrimp eggs and ordered 3 less gooo
Happy for you Cory that you are able to continue this. As for me I had to discontinue my aquarium fish passion since I was 6 years old, 60 years ago.
CLOUDY WATER
1) 1st put it in a white bucket to determine if it's green or not. You will be shocked. The most "white" cloudy waters will appear green in a white bucket.
2) Turn the filter off and look for movement or look for a "cascading effect" while the filter is on (depends on flow) — but basically infusoria will allow you to visually see your water flow while ammonifying bacteria won't.
Infusoria will be visible just barely – like a bunch of small threads.
If it's not infusoria or greenwater, then it's ammonifying bacteria. You should NOT sterilize it.
Yes there is room for improvement on UV lights. Good question. They need to make some that allow you to adjust power and flow rate. At the least flow rate.
I LOVE YOUR HAT CORY. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 now I want one! 😅😅😅😅
Reduced Fishroom Tour coming soon? 🙂
love the hat!
Hello
Your first holiday video sparked me for sure, and the fact you still have that mentality is 👌
