now where's the automatic algae cleaner
Your a beast my friend.
Carefull so you dont get wildlife crawling up that pipe 🙂 awesome videos werry edukational just love them
Make the overflow go into a garden!
a question:
Will a Brita water pitcher be able to allow a person to use normal tap water when filling a canister filter with water after cleaning it?
The situation:
When I clean my Cascade canister filter I want to not allow normal tap water to kill all the healthy bio media.
Until now I have had to take my cleaned filter to the aquarium and then begin the messy operation of dumping cup-fulls of aquarium water into the filter to fill it before I can close it up and get it going again.
I always end up with a ton of water dripping over the clean glass of the tank, and all over the floor, and all over me too.
I got to try to find a way to fill the filter with water, yet not use un-treated tap water that will kill my bio media on contact.
Suggestions?
tfw ur name is 'the king of DIY' and all the majority of the tanks in your fish gallery were made by ADA 😀
Wishing I could join, saving for my first house!!
Keep it up man !
That looked like breaker panel on wall you said you want to go through water and electric equals no fun
Frank has fin rot. His tail is torn. You need to treat him or change the water more often. His colors don't look good.
I agree that putting the drain through the wall makes the most sense, but my concern would be freezing temperatures during the winter months. Insulating the pipe can be done, but there'll still be some cold transfer back into the gallery, and the risk of any retained water freezing in the pipe and creating an ice plug. Will the outlet be underground, or above ground with a strainer to keep critters out?
I like the idea of one big pipe going through all of them. Like one big 20 foot pipe and connect all the tanks with a pipe from the tank and I would put it at a small elevation going down so you would not get stall water in the pipe
Back as a subscriber…
YouTube is acting up again and unsubbed me 😣 got a few videos to catch up on
Hi I think it's a good idea but remember the rats the could get in
don't forget step 1 in all changes….get the wife's approval!!
It could be a good idea to have a the old water flow into a medium sized empty tank than have the water get filtered so you can reuse the water saving on water
You were not in my feed
Happy 1 million
Wow that’s a cool demonstration of a water change thing
But if you have an aquaponic system it works way better
You could put a garden at that part of the house and allow the water to water the garden. I mean veggie plants love fish poop.
alright well you had a problem with mice with your other system do you think allowing an open tube to go directly outside would be a good idea for the situation of allowing rodents to possibly get in through a pipe and plug it up…. the other problem you have is well the water that you drain out possibly contaminate your well
If each pair of tanks (upper and lower) is connected to the sump underneath, why not flow water into (and overflow out of) the sump directly?
It might be neater, and easier, than trying to flow into the top tank directly?
Try bell siphons to low tech auto drain the individual tanks, that way, no tech required and the drainage will be truly automatic
@The king of DIY it maybe im wrong but wouldn't the method of only adding fresh water to the top tanks in the racking system mean the bottom tanks would only be getting excess diluted water instead of the fresh water they would get in a normal water change. That sounds problematic at best if I missunderstood someone please correct me.
Running the pipe outside will freeze in the winter and back up……
I would be worried about the pipe freezing or letting too much cold air in and making the heating less efficient
You can make an auqapontic garden using the drain off and grow veggies in the spring
How you gonna keep the pipes from freezing over in the Winter
I always wondered when people set these systems up… doesn't the water that is being added have to be at the same temperature as the aquarium water and also doesn't it need to be conditioned?
that is a ton of water a week lost, maybe run it though some plants to scrub it for reuse in a pond
Something you might have already taken into consideration. A backup power bank or safety feature to stop cold water from entering the tanks if the power goes off.
Polished concrete and done!! 😊👍🏽
