Fish room Fun with Breeding fish!
I KINDA show you how to join Aquariums up to a sump to make it super easy to Breed Fish!
I suck at measuring stuff! hahah

messy fish room
look at my nightmare FISH ROOM! LOLOL
No respectable plumbing job ends up with less than three trips to the hardware store. 🙂
😂😂😂
The way you have it hooked up makes it really easy if you need to cut off a tank from the shared system for service, quarantine, or housing fish with different water parameters.
Yup that’s the idea
Hi Paul, As always this video was both educational and entertaining. I loved it.
Thanks tiger
I totally stuffed up with the pipes 😂😂😂
Paul you've done the magic of water changes it looks awsome take care 😊😊😊🐸🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟🐟
🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠👄🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠
Thanks tiger!
Love it, Paul! Really made simple. And just cuz . . . they're called "bulkhead fittings." Hope that helps. 🙂
Lol I must add them to my online site and call them “ tank joiny bits” or something
@@paulstingray 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Makes sence love video bud keep il the good work
Thanks tiger
Very informative Paul every day is a school day
I was going well until the pipe stuff up 😂😂
@@paulstingray 😂
You’re a mess and I am so happy to subscribe. Keeping it real
😂😂😂😂😂
Nice educational video, love it 🐠🐠🐠
Be better if I got the right size pipes 😂😂😂
@@paulstingray half the time i go to bunnings/hardware store is because i forgot something or got the wrong part lol 😂
beautiful setup, congratulations. you can put a small sponge on each mesh cup ( outside water way) so the small fish will not pass
Because I’m not home very often they might clog and overflow if I used sponge so it’s easier for me to just turn the tanks off the system for the first few weeks.
@@paulstingray agree 👌
I think you should come up here to Alice Springs and help me setup a system like that 😅
😂😂😂
Great set up Paul and video. I am trying to set up 4; 1 gallon fresh water aquariums for shrimps with one canister filtration or One sub pump. Any thoughts or suggestions you may have to help me?
Just drill the tanks and do a slow drip system from the sump and let the canister filter the sump
Super easy
Knobby bit 😂
😂😂😂😂
Nice dry fit! Is PVC glue toxic to fish? Used to do sprinkler systems and the glue we used was harsh.
Non toxic once it’s cured- but there are lots of different glues so I’m sure there would be some toxic ones.
I feel like the long sump tanks aren't as affective I'm going to attempt a stacked tank so 2 or 3 tanks with screen on top layer then filter elements in bottom of top 2 tanks sump in bottom. So the water trickles down thru filter clean water pumps back from bottom tank
Anything will work
I’m only using the long tank to hold water
The filters are in the individual tanks in this system
@paulstingray now is this the best way to keep sediment down? I run sponge filter that does nothing for larger heavy stuff
This system is to raise fry so there’s no issue with sediment
But you could just increase flow to move any sediment into the sump. My bigger tanks on the big systems work that way and there’s never any buildup on the bottom of the tanks and they are 9’ x 4’ with a lot of big fish.
@paulstingray thanks I noticed that once I had a few hundred babies was hard to keep clean the breeding tanks I vaccum
Hi, first time seeing your videos and I'm finding it very informative! I was curious as to which rack you were using
Howdy!
This is just an old box steel custom frame I got made nearly twenty years ago.
That's genius hack👌,my husband is also find of fish tanks,I wonder I he will have as many tanks in future, your hack will be useful to him,Sir😀
😂😂😂😂oh lovely! I look forward to you teaching me how to use resin!
@@paulstingray I can't, sir,I am still exploring this beautiful art,but yeah,I never took any workshop or never took any big orders.Its just some sort of destress tool for me and Sharing my journey on youtube is helping me in boosting my confidence levels.I have followed Ms.Julie Cutts,her channel name is Pouring you heart out.I guess she too is from Australia 🤔,If you looking forward to dig deeper in resin art,I will suggest you to subscribe to her channel. I am still just a learner 😀.Many others are there, if you would like to know their names,sir
I’ll wait for you to show me
@@paulstingray Then,I won't disappoint you,sir🙏😀
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sump is the best way to go
Yup 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Never measure! Measuring is the bane or accuracy! 🙂
Definitely 😂😂😂
see all tank owners make same like you for me its RAS system better all water you take out
send to central filfer o2 what ever pump it back not only you not see any here do that in thailand what you do LOOk it up RAS
Oh you mean the aquaculture systems?
Got any videos on your setups? Be interesting to see
@@paulstingray yes look it up in asia
all fish farmers now what it is the set up its in asia and we use bioflock raise fish and shrimp
The stainless steel strainers for the overflow.. Where did you get them?
You can get them online from the irrigation shop in Brisbane
Would it be possible to design some sort of fitting with a hose for the intakes. So you could put the hose on and vacuum the bottom with it so It cleans right into the sump drainage pipes/ sump. Since the intakes are so high up and won’t clean all the crud that forms on the bottoms of the tank
This system is designed to grow up smaller fry so that’s not an issue.
Last question 😅 1" or 3/4 return line?
I have no idea what I used 😂😂😂😂
Bigger is better though
Hey mate! Where have you gotten your tanks from,
and what size are the tanks on the system you are setting up in this video?
These are 60x30x35cm
Or 24 x12 inches
I own an aquarium shop so got them from a wholesaler. They are standard size tanks so it’s possible to pick up second hand cheap.
I have tanks with the bulkheads half way up the tank, can i get some kind of piece to make the strainer higher?
Yup
You can just use pvc elbow inside the tank.
Hey Paul, I have been looking for the over flow mesh for ages, Can you tell me where i can get some
Thank you '
“ The irrigation shop “ has them in stock
So what happens if some of your fish get sick , wouldn't that affect all the tanks and all the fish?
Yes. But the tanks can be disconnected from the system and treated if need be.
All fish are quarantined before they go in, and I also use O3 and UVC.
Gee how many tanks do u have!? 😨
Not enough 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Where do you get the fittings?
You can get them from hardware or plumbing places. I also sell the black bulkheads if you’re local
soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

Bunnings deliver for $10 m8.
😂😂😂😂
Oh you guys
What sump pump do you use?
I’m using a great white return
Thannks
this fish room sound like 10 waterfalls going on in there...if my sump even made a drip noise I'd go insane let alone 30 or 40 tanks...
what's the point of the sponge filters?
if you're using battery power wouldn't it be easier to just use 2 pumps in case 1 fails?
and then comes the big question...how do you intend on breeding fish with this system without them going from tank to sump through the overflows and killed by the pump..
one of the major issues I see with fish rooms are bad designs...and people using breeder boxes on top of the tanks because the fry would die to filtration
if your rack system makes noise..it's a bad design...if you cannot use that system to breed fry or shrimp...it's a bad design
on your current design...my suggestion would be to use a sponge pad to partition the overflow from the main tank similar to a matten filter
the tallest overflow on one side of the rack...the drain pipe air tight downwards to the last tank (extra hole in it)
the top overflow of the last tank put an upside down V trap on it and drill a hole in the middle of the V trap to let air escape and pipe to be able to adjust the height of the trap in the tank
put the drain pipe of that tank into a tank of a lower rack or inside the sump a few inches under water
when the system starts it'll make noise just like yours but once the water goes higher than the trap the air is gone and it creates a siphon by itself
this will allow you to filter all the tanks with 0 noise...if you need bubbles for oxygenation you can connect an inline co2 diffuser to the return pipe...
on the 1/4 co2 intake of the diffuser you just put a check valve and enough tubing to hang it somewhere higher than the top tank this way you don't need an air pump for it and it'll pull air and squish it down into fine bubbles for oxygenation
as for the idea of being able to have a tank drained or separate in the rack...on the downwards drain pipe put a pvc ball valve for each tank...this way you can just close the valve
and maintain the air-tight seal/siphon and take that tank away...replace it...do some work on it...and the system would still be running fine
I hope you fix this because there's nothing more annoying than having to shout in a fish room because of all the noise
Keep up the work xD
I’m fine with the noise as I’m not in there very often. The sponge filters are the filtration, not the sump.
The idea of the sponge filters is the fact I can turn the tanks off to raise the fry without them going though the overflow. When they are big enough I can just put that tank back on the system.
I have five large battery pumps going in the room.
doesn't manual water changes defeat the whole purpose of a rack system?
I thought the sponge filters were being used as a secondary backup...
so they're used as filtration when fry are being raised together with manual water changes?
back on my original post...
"if your rack system makes noise..it's a bad design...if you cannot use that system to breed fry or shrimp...it's a bad design"
The system works just fine. And I have too many fish breeding currently.
Hopefully one day you will be ok with noise.
