    Nice job dude! I work in a fish shop for the last 5 years. We also run dehumidifiers in every room. Dont use the water from them as RO water. At some point it will be very bad unless you clean the dehumidifier regulary. Trust me, we tried and tested it multiple times. Prove me wrong, if you make different experineces. Cheers ✌🏼

    So cool to see you do something just for you to enjoy. I think that helps with people who are in professional fish keeping and/ or content creation to avoid burn out. A private or semi private little place for yourself that doesn't have to be anything to anyone else. Wishing you tons of happy hours in your personal fish room!! ✌️

  • @RatelEngineeringDesign

    2 things @keepingFishSimple.
    1. The dehumidifyer creates distilled water. Not RO.
    2. Being an older queenslander, is the floor structure OK with all the weight of the tanks?
    Envious!!

  • @TheDusthound1
    @TheDusthound1 День тому +3

    Great set up. If you put the dehumidifier on a shelf above your water change drainage line you can have it drain directly and not have to empty it all the time…just a thought

    I am glad you are back to enjoying the hobby at home. A suggestion - put a buffer tank where you can treat the water and then pump it to the aquariums. You have already invested a lot. A barrel and a pump will not cost a fortune.

    DEAR NIC, I've been meaning to comment since you posted the video about selling your fish store.... I wish you didn't have to do that... and I've always heard that your first year or 2 won't be fruitful .... but if given the choice if a choice had to be made..between your video making, and running the fish business... you absolutely 100% made the right choice... you are SO VERY GIFTED, TALENTED & SKILLED in this area.... head and shoulders WAY above anybody else who makes videos,( except Adrian) he's pretty good too but totally diff.. Yours are so well done that I am pretty sure you could make an hour long video about sand and I would not only enjoy it but watch it a couple of times..... you know what to put visually on screen while you are speaking about it...( instead of your face talking about it,like most do... we didn't tune in to see your face we tuned in to see these too 10 fish for beginners! Duh) but YOU get that, AND YOUR THE ONLY ONE + ADRIAN who knows instinctively music that is appropriate behind, background for fish.... I cant tell you how many times I've tried to watch a video about beautiful guppys but can't get through it because they've put like club house music behind it..
    Are we in a club dancing on Friday night? NO... your videos are so good it doesn't have to be a subject I am interested in...I just know I want to watch it...... someday I hope to go to Australia and meet you and Adrian and your terriers in person you both have touched my life and I enjoy learning with you... I feel like I can see you grieving your store or something in your eyes lately , but I am so glad to hear you will continue to make videos about fish keeping and more... I'm trying to start a rescue rehab... using large fishtanks to help soothe and heal ... hopefully someday you will film it after I build it...... Wishing you ALL THE BEST❤

  • @ericb4492
    @ericb4492 День тому

    The room itself looks great. But, three things. 1. Your copper water intake pike will not be good for invertebrates. 2. People have tried using RO water from dehumidifiers and it's not good to use for fish due to how the humidity is collected. 3. The main plugs for your light timers are way to close to the water return of the one tank, it could cause issue because of the humidity and splashing.

    14:10 Water filter system would fix that. Here in the US, that's what people do for their auto water change if they're using city water. It's an extra cost but killing your fish on accident is also too and probably more annoying.

      I was just going to suggest the same. Keep an IBC outside (blacked out to reduce algae), airated, keep the water dosed and heated if necessary and then use a pond pump to feed into the system instead of mains tap water. Could control the system on a timer or even better, a WiFi plug and app

    Wouldn’t it have been more convenient to just run a carbon filter between the tap water and the irrigation pipes?
    That way you wouldn’t have to worry about potentially poisoning your fish while doing a waterchange.
    Also dehumidifiers also suck formaldehyde and other chemicals out of our air.
    The dehumidifiers water isn’t suitable for drinking or use in fish tanks.
