The video is about a man who has recently moved his large fish, Leon, into a new larger aquarium. Leon has a unique physical characteristic - a fuzzy or dirty area on his back that he can't reach with his arms, similar to a cat's neck where you can put flea medicine. This area accumulates dust when Leon digs through the coral substrate.
The man has been planning to increase Leon's living space and provide him with more grazing and hunting opportunities. He also wanted to add a cave for Leon to retreat into. After visiting a few aquarium stores, he decided on a 125-gallon tank, which is twice the volume of Leon's old 55-gallon tank. The tank is filled with water, coral, and substrate, and Leon's weight is estimated to be over 1600 pounds.
The man has also been feeding Leon a variety of foods, including green peas, oysters, and clams, which are rich in plankton and single-cell algae. Leon's new aquarium is beside his old one, so the water temperatures are the same. The man has also added a few small fish to the tank to keep Leon entertained.
Leon seems to be adapting to his new aquarium, with the killifish quickly learning that they can't eat Leon's food without a fight. The man plans to continue observing the dynamics between Leon and the other fish, and adjust the feeding schedule accordingly to prevent the fish from constantly swarming Leon for his food.
1. The speaker noticed a fuzzy or dirty area on Leon's back that he can't reach with his arms. This area is covered with stuff that settles on Leon when he digs through the coral substrate.
2. The speaker had planned to get Leon a larger aquarium with coral, providing more space for him to graze, hunt, and have a cave to go in anytime he wanted.
3. The speaker looked around a few aquarium stores in their area to find the right tank for Leon.
4. The speaker chose a 125-gallon tank for Leon, over twice the volume of his old 55-gallon tank. The new tank is wider, taller, and longer, and weighs over 1600 pounds.
5. A sponsor contacted the speaker to help fund the new project for Leon's new aquarium. The sponsor is Kamikoto Knives.

9. The speaker added some fast small fish to the tank to keep Leon entertained.
10. The speaker also added some mumma chog, a type of killifish, to the tank.
11. The water parameters are the same in the new tank as in the old one, as the new tank is right beside the old one.
12. Leon's new cave is made of large chunks of coral rock, without a top so no rocks can fall on him.
13. The speaker locked the top of the tank so Leon can't climb up on the coral rock.
14. The speaker plans to watch everything closely for a while and adjust as needed, such as feeding the killifish on the other side of the tank at the same time they feed Leon.
15. Leon is not happy with the new setup, and the dynamics of the tank have changed.
16. Leon decided to give his dinner to the killifish.
17. The speaker plans to feed the killifish on the other side of the tank at the same time they feed Leon, so they aren't constantly swarming him for his food.
