I Built the SpongeBob Chum Bucket IRL

in this video I'm building the Chum Bucket inside a fish tank I'm even going to surprise Everyone by adding real life blanket we've got Plankton hi I'm Jamie and I'm on a quest to recreate every house from SpongeBob in real life so far we built SpongeBob's pineapple Patrick's rock Squidward Stonehouse and the Krusty Krab I spent Days recreating Every tiny detail like the bus that runs along con Street and the Krusty Krab's famous string of flags and clamshell sign up front I even added a real life Mr Krabs the Bikini Bottom wouldn't be complete without Mr Krabs arch nemesis and you all definitely agree So today we're building the chum bucket in real life and while I'm building you should be on the lookout for these characters and in somewhere in this video right away we have a problem so the Chum Bucket is made entirely out of metal and metal rust and water if you're building this in a fish tank you're going to need to think outside of the bucket but before we start we need a game plan our realistic Chum Bucket is going to be 10 inches wide and over 16 inches tall we're going to put it in a huge tank with real plankton seaweed and tons of colorful fish this is going to be epic but before we spend all this time and money let's make a miniature Chum Bucket so we know what we're doing when it's three times the size this bucket looks a little too perfect in the show Chum Bucket has these small dents and scratches nothing a little Hammer can't fix okay this is starting to look much better these tiny pieces of wood are perfect for the doors and we can't forget about the sign so the customers can find the restaurant I even found this blue boxing glove which looks pretty close to the show did you know that Mr Krabs and Plankton used to be best friends they even opened up a restaurant together but things quickly fell apart and now they own competing restaurants [Music] these are baby brine shrimp the closest thing I could find a plankton in fresh water and finally our hungry customers this one looks just like SpongeBob it didn't take them long to find the shrimp wow this is a Feeding Frenzy just like in the show I ordered this fancy microscope so we could check out all the tiny specimens in this episode whoa these guys are so active I can't wait for you to see what Plankton looks like under here this looks awesome but if we want this to be hyper realistic we need to make some improvements this tank is fresh water but placing lives in the ocean which is salt water and maybe more obvious the Chum Bucket needs to be way bigger but what kind of animal is placed in any way some people think Plankton is a cockroach and others think he's some kind of krill but he's actually a cyclops copepod which is 10 times smaller than these tiny shrimp this Plankton is hard to transport but after hours of phone calls I got the real deal he's due to arrive in just a few days so we need to get moving this is titanium it's the only metal that won't rust and leech into our water these sheets are super expensive so there's really no room for error we're going to weld these squares together and then bend them into the shape of the chompocket okay this looks terrible I'm definitely not a professional this titanium is extremely strong even with the hammer it's impossible to bend it into a cylinder we're gonna need a new plan I found this awesome 3D model of the Chum Bucket but the only problem is this print is going to take 60 hours to complete and Plankton arrives in just three days last time we built Bikini Bottom we had a ton of failures and even needed two 3D printers to get it done in time I just hope we get this print done on the first try but we wait for our printer dryer I'm giving away another Wet Pets aquarium kit real people just like you win every single week it comes with everything you need to make your dream fish test including the Sequim shirts Arquette so make sure to subscribe and comment for your chance to win this print is taking ages let's speed it up I ended up printing the glove separately since it's a complex print these supports took over an hour to remove I'm not happy with the way this looks the Chum Bucket is metallic and this just looks like a blue bottle I ordered this really thin titanium online it cost over a hundred dollars and it's much more flexible than the sheets we used earlier but it's too shiny if we want this to look realistic we need to scuff it up a bit it now has a blue hue and looks just like the real Chum Bucket I got my fingers stuck to Metals multiple times but it was worth it it's looking insane we can't forget our sign out front and Swinging Doors and it wouldn't be the Chum Bucket without the iconic glove up top while our jump bucket Drive let's make a quick trip to the hardware store to pick up some supplies this is so embarrassing I even found the secret formula in aisle 19. I knew it it's crab meat this wood will be perfect for our stand and we need these clamps to build our tank we can't forget our bikini bottom paint let's get back to the studio we now have just one day until Plankton arrives let's get these giant pieces acrylic glued together so we can set up Bikini Bottom this is much harder than the mini tank I'm going to reinforce these panels while I Bond them together and since Plankton has always struggled getting customers to the Chum Bucket we're building a custom stand to help direct traffic to the restaurant in episode 122 he hired Patrick as the advertising director he came up with the phrase Chum is Bomb since this worked so well in the show we're adding it here in real life the Chum Bucket fits perfectly in here let's add white sand and a road leading right up to the restaurant just like in the show this live rock should help to weigh it down I'm even going to add in the infamous Bikini Bottom background this is really coming to life now to make sure the Chum Bucket isn't empty on opening day we're gonna pick out some tiny saltwater customers for his tank we ended up getting five cute little fish these little guys are blue green chromis they're going to make excellent customers for Plankton Plankton was supposed to be here an hour ago I'm starting to worry I just got off the phone with UPS we're going to have to pick up LinkedIn at the local Customer Center due to the holidays I just hope we get there before it's freezes solid this place is crazy I've never seen so many trucks and packages in my life it's the busiest time of year I'm just happy Plankton didn't get lost in all of this let's get our package comfortable on this hot water bottle hopefully this keeps them warm on the ride home now for the moment of truth let's get Plankton unpacked and ready for the Chum Bucket for a second I thought I got scammed this just looks like a bottle of green water you can actually see them moving around in there let's take a look under the microscope holy smokes this thing looks identical look at those two little stalks on its head I also got a sample from Ralph's tank look at this tigray copper pot so cool let's add our finishing touches before we welcome Plankton home Karen his super computer wife the secret driver from season six some live rock and the Bikini Bottom butt and I even ordered rare macro algae to make it look just like Bikini Bottom Plankton's sole purpose in life is to steal Mr crab's secret formula so we can't forget to add it for him finally time to fill up our fish tank I didn't have time to water test it and if it leaked this will have all been for nothing let's add some prime to remove the chlorine from our tap water and stability to help us quickly cycle the tank I'm going to use the cecum title for filtration this along with live rock provides great filtration for my aquarium it's been a few days and the tank is still standing we're finally ready to add Plankton there are literally thousands of Plankton in there look at them riding the currents and here go our hungry customers oh no they're eating all of the Plankton I guess I should have expected that but don't worry I saved a bunch for this empty tank so we could repopulate for future Generations we just made the Chum Bucket for real plankton make sure to subscribe comment and I'll see you here next week
