Great video, love that you make sketches using a computer program to show us the full setup. I've been thinking of doing this for over a year now but for a couple reasons I haven't made myself do it yet. One of them is because I'm cheap and don't want to pay for 10+ bulkheads for each "tank" and the other is because I want to use glass aquariums so I can view the fish better. The problem with glass though is that it doesn't drill as easily and I don't even know if I want to drill my glass tanks.
What is the link to the containers you used? I want to get some of them since I was thinking of doing the Marina Hang on Breeder box type fry system but they're too expensive. Could you use a drawer organizer?
A suggestion for another DIY wed. might be how to make a PVC overflow. I've made one of them and plan to put it to use in a DIY overflow. I was even considering making 10 of them and using them for a breeding rack to connect all the tanks instead of drilling like you did in this video.
Thanks if you here of any for sale let me know. I bought a pair at the TBAS meeting auction and I can't find who sold them. The male died after he impregnated the female and she had her fry but consumed them after I though she wouldn't. Oh well that's the way it goes. Thanks Ron Bows
I think it is an amazing design idea for fry. I loved it !
Very cool! Thanks for the video

what do you do with the guppies? feed them to the turtles?
The tanks would be glass though, not platic tubs. Hence the reason for making the PVC overflow, so I don't need to drill into my glass tanks
@gregjonesonline Yea, I agree. It's just that I would probably end up using the "fry tub" for adults too haha.
it's actually a hybrid of a latipinna and something else, they're feeders for my turtle due to being hybrids
they are fairly cheap online, google glass-holes
