We need an IBS Tote, Pink fiberglass insulation, Foam board insulation, pvc pipe, pvc fittings, scrub brush, bleach, seachem safe, chlorine test kit and patience!

[@Zeamus634]

Use pallet wrap instead of tape to hold the insulation on.

[@inventoryking]

Thanks for the tip

[@TikvahDave]

The polycarbonate roof panels is an interesting idea. I wonder how long they will look good before growing algae.
I might borrow that idea.

[@inventoryking]

Do it. When they get dirty just give them a wash.

[@jacobshubin3894]

Woah, had no idea you were working on this!

[@inventoryking]

Yessir! Been in the works for some time hahaha!

[@toycarfoushboy]

Pretty damn sweet Paul! So the intro on insta and had to come scope it out. Been wanting to do one of these for a while. Looks like fun.

[@inventoryking]

Thanks bro!!

[@MissJnet]

What did you cut it with, looked like a breeze.

[@inventoryking]

I was using a sawzall

[@0616007]

What do I do if my water is 97 I can't find shade.

[@0616007]

I have the same size tote no fish in yet but I'd like to put some in.

[@inventoryking]

Have it in a garage.

[@inventoryking]

Garage or shop building

[@SHIMMY956]

I wonder if this would work for 2 koi fish

[@inventoryking]

I would say yeah since it’s over 200 galleon

[@canisteovalleydave]

Where did you purchase those big sponges?
Is the Eheim heater a 300 watt?
How often do you do a water change on the IBC tote?
Where did you get that nifty water meter for the hose?

[@inventoryking]

I bought the sponges from The Cichlid Shack.
The heater is a 300 Eheim
I haven’t had to water change yet since it is so new. I got the water meter on amazon

[@canisteovalleydave]

Thanks! I'm planning a build like this too!

[@inventoryking]

Sweet! Its awesome to have.

[@MrDD-qi2wh]

kensfish.com,personaly i like better the caf 180 ,the 250 is to big in my opinion and i dont like the bactosure,they clock to easy

[@EsteGlez]

This is very interesting, what food do you feed fry?

[@inventoryking]

Pellets and frozen krill

[@jonathanlin4009]

put something in the window to reduce sunlight

[@inventoryking]

Thanks Jonathan

[@toycarfoushboy]

How much did you pay for your time?

[@inventoryking]

Didn’t really keep track. But I would say a couple hundred. I would have spent less if I lived in a warmer part of the country. I needed to insulate mine more than normal

[@ryucords]

What a waste of tons of water just to test it out.👎🏽

[@inventoryking]

On a well and its needed to make sure the pond is safe for fish.

[@leam89]

To quiet the air pump try hanging it from the chord so it has nothing to vibrate against

[@inventoryking]

thanks
