I use Walmart LED shop-lights and if you are just growing easy plants low tech they work great!
You could use wider horizontal boards and then they could cover the hanging lights and you could keep the middle braces on. Which maybe needed for larger tanks.
“Fish tanks to life ratio…” ❤😂❤
its a very important ratio.... :)
Great video, thanks for sharing your build! One thing I learned while building mine is that you will want to make your PVC into a loop instead of dead-ending on both ends. Otherwise, you won't have even pressure on all the lines because the ones further away will have lower pressure. Then, when you make adjustments to one line, it will affect the others and you will be endlessly adjusting all the lines each time you add or adjust a line.
Interestinggggg, ill consider that if it ends up being too annoying to adjust, thanks!
Nice setup. To keep the sponge filters quite, we use the LRB yogurt cup lid method in our fishroom. Works great and cheap!
Plumber here throwing my .02 on the sink; get an "under sink water heater". It's what I use on just a garden hose to get mine to 78 for my tanks. Great video and you just got another subscriber!
I use an under sink water heater for my RV and I totally agree, very simple cheap option for what he's doing!
@@rossallen738 exactly! not the best for a shower big a big flowing head but a few GPM should be good to go!
I love the magnet idea. I have an indoor succulent cage made out of a Brooklyn fish tank stand, tied chicken wire on the sides and used magnets on a piece of window screen across the front to keep the cat out of it.
You could try to attach magnets to the boards for the trim if you find the tape doesn’t work
Great video. It’s looking really good so far. The trim on the shelving units makes a big difference and will look even better with some plants growing around it. Can’t wait to see this new look fish room progress. 😊
Great point on the gladiator shelves being more flexible long term! Also good to see how the wire shelves caused uneven level surfaces. Good to be aware of! Nice video, thanks for keeping it reel 👌🎣
I’m a tradesman and a breeder, (not fish). You clearly have the logic and the practical capability, I would love to see a creation with unlimited space, budget and good tools. You got everything you need for industrial perfection bro, I’m gonna subscribe as I think the sky is the limit!
I enjoyed watching this fish room come together. Btw don’t worry so much about the editing of your content, we like vlogs and they don’t always have to be highly polished/edited…just real life, that’s what most of us like to watch and getting to see what other fish hobbyists getup to. 😊
Thanks Donna 😎
Airstones will help diminish the bubble noise
It is nice to learn together. Keep up the great work and wishing you the best on this new fishroom!
Thanks!!! :) you too!
Looks SOOO Great!!! I love your new fishroom!
Epic, I used the Gladiator rack system years ago and it's still going strong, just need to move the whole operation to another spot.. been putting that off forever.
Really enjoyable video. I would love to set up a fish room. My apartment is just way too small. But enjoyed watching you plan and construct your fish room. Enjoy it!!!
Don't forget to install a pressure relief valve on your pvc pipe to save your pump from back pressure it'll allow your air pump to live a lot longer! and also using an airstone in your sponge filter makes smaller bubbles to help get rid of the blub blub sound of bubbles
Get a small on demand water heater the have ones made to fit right under your sink and there 120v and relatively cheap. 👍
Love the setup.
The wood trim is a great idea. May try that on my rack. Thanks for showing us.
You bet! :)
PEX is the modern plumbing standard stuff you were trying to think of. :)
throw some in-line valves in there closer to the tanks, make your life easier. And get good ones like two little fishes ball valves from brs
Great video thanks for taking us along. I’m a wing it guy myself so I back this 100%. Looking forward to more progress updates.
Thanks Branton!
Got some great ideas, thanks!
Great vid. Nice racks for the breeding of the "rysh fin" fish 24:30😂✌️
It might be worthwhile to get some little inline drip irrigation ball valves so you could add them closer to the tank and find tune the airline strength. In the 1/4" drip line we use the same tubing as sponge tanks.
Every time you add another air line you'll be reducing the pressure on all the other lines. I imagine once you get the fish room fully built out with all your lines in you'll find the valves aren't quite so temperamental. 5 nano sponge filters on such a large linear piston pump is a little bit overkill!
Ya totally, gotta keep workin! 😎💪 i was able to get things pretty quiet tho!
Look into popping on a bleed valve. Helps when your running such few tanks on a big pump. They are cheap.
This is a great video with lots of fresh new ideas. Thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Love your videos man! Thanks for all the awesome ideas and tips! You’re the man Mike!
I appreciate that! You rock Jack!!!
It's looking good.
Think about raising the airpump above the height of your tanks. It prevents your airlines from becoming a siphon when the power shuts off
Sweet job man 👌
It looks great! If the boards don't stay up, try a hot glue gun...
Thats going to be really hard on your air pump as well as getting the tanks adjusted, that pump is producing more air than you are using its going to build up pressure in the pipe thus increasing the pressure and the flow into the tanks and worst case scenerio there will be too much pressure for the pump to continue. you want to add a valve that isnt hooked up to anything that you can open to bleed of the unused air. then you want to open the valves to the tank all the way and turn down the flow to the tanks by opening the empty valve.
Just got my first purchase of Legit fish food - community and bottom feeder. They LOVE it!! And its a good value too 🙂
Awesome Cyndi! Glad everyone loved it ;)
Looking good brother 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 i wish i had the space for a few racks like this inside.
Thanks bruhhhh! 🫡
Those valves have a very tiny line between on and off, it's the same on the multi valve metal manifolds. I did a small pvc system and it wasn't working so I ordered three 4 valve metal manifolds off Amazon and it works so much nicer. I'm running 11 tanks on a pump small than the 1 you have. I'll add I do wish the pump was a little stronger.
you can can make a few holes in the cap sealing the bvc pipes, to reduce the air pressure inside.
You can also make the holes on the tubes but if you regret it, changing a cap will be much cheaper.👍
You could try putting electrical tape or something similar over the magnets to increase the friction and prevent sliding
Ok ok, nice
👍🤠 Mike, I hope you put the shelf in line with the door handle. That would suck some really windy day if y didn’t.
You could put one of those small water heaters that fits under the sink and only heats the water for that sink.
yaaaaa, another issue I have is power... Im getting close to the circuit limits or else id totally try something like that!
Love it! My only concern would be with every new air line you add to the pipe would you have to re adjust all the taps? Every line you add will theoretically reduce pressure to the existing lines right?
A lot of work, but it looks good. I’m hoping to get some house projects done this year, so I can work on the fishroom next year.
very nice! Thanks!
You can put a small in-line heater for the sink.
You motivate me to do such activities too 😁
It's super cool watching you speaking English. I try my US accent practice with your videos too 😂
So it's like killing two birds with one stone😂 😇
Pex A mainly that's expandable and crimpable PEX b is only crimp is what most people are using nowadays plumber here and looking forward to plumbing my fish room when we move to our forever home awesome vid dude always dropping bangers 👍👍 also good on you for using solid core pvc you will never see the pressure needed to explode foam core but that pressure pipe will outlast every other componet..
I need more plumbers in my life! Thanks dude!
@@AQUAPROS find you a good one and they may work for 🍻or 🐟😂😂
Couple issues . For your first rack you used thin plywood because it was $90 for 3/4", but 3 48" coop lights are $175( not 150 as you mention in the video) So you opted to go weak on structure over $70 but justify over $500 for lights, when you could spend $ 180 on equal quality or better lights. And changing lights takes 3 zip ties vs. breaking down every shelf to change plywood. I would convert to the new sponge filter 90 spouts,those are really great, but I don't think they are quieter.
Nno need to put acrylic on the plywood just use exterior paint two to three coats.
Where did you buy the shelves and what brand are they? Thanks.
Hi Mike, I was just wondering what those fish are at the beginning of the video? the orange and yellow fish in tank you’re sitting in front of? Ty
You may have already figured this out but you need a bored valve if you're gonna run that few outlets for the linear pump to let off extra air so it won't boiling your poor rice fish lol.
Where do you park your car now?😅
You could reduce the buble noise if the top of the pipes are bent.
Great project❤
Dude definitely put lids on the tanks but I think you have to run air if you do. I don't think natural tanks and lids mix but not sure
I think the room will outlast the garage with those racks, tanks and pumps… I really enjoyed the hands off approach you used… Gladitor all the way.
glad ya liked it!!!
Very cool. Hey did you see LRB is selling some Indoensonia large rice fish. He is the only one selling them on the Internet right now.
And there very rare
I saw those!!!!
I don't know if an inline or tankless water heater system would work with what your doing, but I believe you only need a water source and then have a hot water out, so maybe something to look into. and you MAY have paid too much money for those stands, but if it buys peace of mind and looks nice, than I'd say you didn't. wood is never perfect, its always a little funny due to moisture and warping, but its no worry. as it sits and acclimates to your environment the wood will condition and stay down. you bought the right stuff though, you can honestly go as thin as you want since it's really only serving as a mounting surface, the stability comes with the rack. oh, and its PEX plumbing. nice job for winging it! lol
Pex! haha ya totally feel ya on the water, getting a hot line out there is the issue though, hose is just the easiest/cheapest wat to do it ;/ (for now)
@@AQUAPROS it never occurred to me how easy an outbuilding could be for a dedicated fishroom, cant wait to see how yours turns out! those inline heater systems can actually mount inside your building, they can fit under a sink, and typically provide hot water to one faucet. inline, or tankless their sold as. I think they're a couple hundred bucks (seen them for around 250USD) the only thing I'm not sure is if its enough for the water volume you'd be using it for.
@@christianhunt7382 i hear ya on that... my issue now is just power, like id def need another circut put in to run something like that.. but not an impossible task. We shall see!
@@AQUAPROS for sure, you'll want that on its own dedicated breaker, but something to ponder on. like you don't have enough going on! haha but I'm sure you'll get it worked out nice.
I have the next best thing to having water in the same room, I'm literally right next to the master bathroom and my python system hooks right to the dog washer in the shower. 1 day I'll have water on the same room though.
What’s the air pump you are using mate?? I’m making my “need to buy list” 🤣
what camera do you use?
add a tankless water heater
I wish!!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Gday mate,
Congrats on the fishroom. I was wondering if the wood in your large tank is yucca wood? If it’s not what is it?
Regards Duzzy🇦🇺
Thanks! The wood in the big tank is "cork bark"
Instead of magnets, heavy duty Velcro tape roll for the win!
Ohhhhhh thats a good idea!
@@AQUAPROSCheap, easy, reusable, and very effective. Simple to modify for future changes too!
Instead of just dumping the water from the dehumidifier outside, you could take it and use it for your tanks. No need to condition it.
Ya i guess i could collect it 🤷♂️🤷♂️🫡
Blessed are you who probably have a plan of trees that make money instead of fruits... Haha
new video title : mike glues magnets to wood
omg so wild that americans don't have electric kettles to just heat up a splash of water real quick to increase the temperature of the new water before water changes. i knew y'all had to microwave your water or something but like heating the new water in a bucket with a heater is wild! i guess it doesn't work out if you are filling straight from the hose to tank.
We can get them just not that common over here
You been sneaking on my channel?
fellow GLADIATOR! nice dude :)
Or your like me and put your fish room in your kitchen yep 13 tanks in my kitchen😂😂😂
So…. Let’s just simplify this. Don’t use this rack system!!! Wow
You do not want to set up your fish tank to your hot water heater. There are things in your hot water heater that will kill your fish.
Thanks I literally went an ordered me 2 gladiator racks 72in also weres the inspector I didn’t see any safety equipment used😂 🫡🤣
hahahah glad you picked up on that! good luck with your racks!
