Why use buckets for water changes when you can fill directly from a hose? Master breeder Dean teaches us how to make a DIY water change hook that attaches to a 3/4" hose and hangs on the side of your aquarium without slipping off. The PVC ball valve allows you to easily shut off the water flow so you can move the water change hook to the next aquarium.

![How to Share 1 Air Pump with Multiple Fish Tanks [DIY]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/CSNjLaqXZeA/mqdefault.jpg)
*What kind of DIY project would you like to see Dean make next? If you missed his last one, he made an indoor mini pond for just $25 in parts: **th-cam.com/video/vMsju5QctxQ/w-d-xo.html*
How about something related to fish breeding??????
Honestly, anything he knows. The aquarium diy scene has been stagnant for a while, all the best channels for it have become about showing off expensive fish setups or personal drama. We need more of what you can do in the kitchen or basement without expensive specialized tools
Those white fry trays that fit so nicely on-top of his tanks.
a DIY Air Conditioner
@@jefflacarte2917 I second this @Aquarium Co-Op
A DIY for the fry trays would be incredibly helpful
Dean knows so much he knows what the size of a pound is. Amazing skill.
Dean should have his own category named "feel good" on this channel. I swear, I'd binge watch them all just to get more calm and happy 😂💕
“Somebody tell a joke” *silence*🤣
Another perfectly timed video. After putting the mini pond together, bending the pipe gave me the idea to do this as well. I was gathering a list of parts, but wasn't sure the best way to go about connecting a hose to PVC. The threaded sprinkler riser makes that trivial, excellent idea.
Experience works it's magic once again, thanks Dean!
Was just watching making the hobby easier livestream great to see an updated/DIY version from the masters of making the hobby more enjoyable!!!
PS love you to jimmy
For two years now i have been planning an aquarium.. And i have watched basically all videos on the net, I got an aquarium and i had no problems for a year now. I wanted to make a small ecosystem, with a few man made additions, and its awesome. Good job guys, and not just you but everyone who cares enough to give advice, not just the biznis pips. One more fish keeper on team. :)
I really love these videos of Dean showing us how to make things. The muck bucket pond was awesome!
More dean all the time always.
These videos with Dean are pure gold. Also love the editing on it :) GG Jimmy
THESE HOME VIDEOS WITH DEEN ARE WHAT I LIVE FOR!!!
There’s something about this guy, I could watch all day. Hi from the UK. 👍
I really like these videos where you show us how to make things! You should do it more often it helps.
When the music hits right when he starts cooking the pipe, man this channel is such a vibe. You guys are the best!
Great DIY for a very useful tool! Thanks Dean and Jimmy!!
Thank you Dean and Aquarium Co-op, for this video. I followed your instructions and I was able to make the Python and it works great. Look forward to more of your videos.
Such a good intro, immediate like 👍. Also love the "dean's cooking Channel" vibe.
Great tips! Thanks for sharing Dean with us! - Little Bobby
Thanks, Dean!
Loving the Dean videos. Keep them coming, please.
great stuff! Thanks!
Loving Dean’s DIY videos! :)
please do a series of deans diys
Thanks for sharing very helpful information.
I love this "Cooking with Dean" series so much! XD
I ❤ Dean! What a great man.
🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱🐟🌱
Gonna build one next week!
Wrapping the Teflon in the direction you're gonna turn it is something even my plumbing instructor never told me.
If you wrap the PTFE tape (UK name) the opposite way then it can unravel and not create the seal you want
I built something similar a few years ago with just using 90s instead of bending the pipe. I use the feeding hole in my greenhouse aquarium lids to place the hook and fill the tank. Menards has a plastic end for the hose attachment that is fixed like the brass piece you used. I also use a tee splicer for a diverter. It's a great tool to have in the fish room.
Nice recipe. I’ll try it out some day
Spectacular!
My kitchen space and utensils also double as my DIY aquarium-ing hub. You never know what I'm gonna cook up.
This dude comes up with everything!😂
Outstanding hackery !
Great DIY
Sometimes I wish I lived closer so I could be in on these shenanigans. I enjoy watching you guys do these diy crafts.
Best “cooking” video ever!!!!
i want to see Master Chef Dean as well as Master Breeder Dean! :)
Love the diy videos
I love him!
awesome!
Cheers Guys 👌🏻
Good amazing 👍
Lovely
@Jimmy Gimbal 3:05 = **chef's kiss**
I wonder if I could make a small one. Thanks for the video!
Yes, you can get all the same basic parts in 1/2" PVC size also.
I actually just finished making one these after seeing you bend the pipe in the indoor pond builds !!
@@JayPlateFaceVideos I have built one, it's also In my cellar so it good goldfish temps. I've got ranchu at the moment. I don't really need to bother with any pH balancing or anything. More you mess with it the more problems you cause in my experience
@@JayPlateFaceVideos not sure mate 😂 I just add water and its all good
I need Dean to be my neighbor! Excellent tips!
I just became a member because of this video lol
I like the hose method, although I haven't tried it. Right now I put a bucket in the bathtub with a water pump. Run the beverage grade pump line to the tank, turn on the bathtub faucet, turn on the pump, and fill tank.
Great video as usual. I have a similar setup. The cheap ball valves become very hard to turn in a short time. Buy a cepex ball valve. They last forever, twist the same day 1 vs day 3000.
Great ideas guys. Loving the video. You should open shops in Australia for global market integration.
What I’ve learned is that I want to buy Python hooks for $17 not make one.
100% agree. After adding costs of travel time, gas, effort, etc. Well worth the money to go for the python.
The phyton leaks when you close the valve. This homemade one doesn’t. The parts and fittings do cost more but are of better quality. The phyton only quality would be the hose itself. Overall I do like the phyton but also the DIY stuff😁
Dean 😍😍
Thats really smart.
I thought like why salt? But it perfectly makes sense, if any salt gets stuck on the inside of the pipe then it will later on just disolve in the water ...
Anything from Dean gets a like from me 😃
Brilliant idea, EXTREMELY engaging video. Nice job, Jimmy!
We like your recipe
Please give Dean his own series 😂
HI guys enjoy your videos. To apply Teflon tape -- hold the threaded object in you right hand and the tape in your left hqand.
I'm thinking of using large PVC endcaps as plant pots in my next tank. I have issues with stemmed plants and thought being able to move them around would help.
Nice
Awesome… and I’m glad it broke on you only because now I know what will happen of course to me the first time around lol your the greatest dean !!!
I just made my own and I will say that the schedule 80 CPVC ball valves are much smoother to operate and to me was worth the 3 extra bucks for the valve.
"Somebody tell a joke.." Ya sure handling that pipe well... 😂 joking. Super happy about the diy vids
I need these types of tips. I live in a small town with no fish store, but we got a hardware store.
I made one of these, but I just used 2 pvc 90's. The curved pipe does look nicer though.
The 2 pvc at 90 sits better though. I'm in your camp and won't bother bending. Couldn't care less what it looks like tbh.
I know, it's probably just my needs, but would be nice to see a video about how to add a flow heater to such an installation.
Just bought a python hook the other week. Game changer for sure
For the "hook" part I use the curved tube from an aquaclear
Me too!
The Budget Aquarist has been using that for years. Works Great.
I tried five different garden hoses. Four of them dropped my pH like crazy. My custom water changing system is all done in CPVC now.
the ones that are more flexible and bendable are schedule 40 pvc for electrical.. the ones that are thicker and more brittle and rigid, break and used more for sprinklers.
Troy bending around your salt shaker it's about the right diameter you'll also limit the specific point stress
Easy way to teflon a pipe thread. Hold pipe in left hand, wrap tape starting on top and wrap away from you and bring tape under pipe back towards you.
How do you attach the 3d printed water diffuser to the pvc? Just pvc cement?
I've been wanting to do something like this. And it'll be a bonus that I can brag I cooked a python!
Any chance of shipping to the UK soon?
When he said to go to a different hardware store I thought he was going to say “so no one knows of your failure” lol
same as the one I made only i used non kink hose with a washing machine to trough bend
That's awesome, I wish I saw this about two months ago before I broke down and bought a python. But I love the video keep up the great DIY tips.
I can't find anywhere the brass to pvc fitting you are showing. I made the same kind of device with the pvc one and had major flooding mess in my living room due to the pvc connector popping off as you mentioned and now it keeps on popping off. Could you please attach a link where you got the garden hose brass to pvc male treaded adapter ?
Nice! I'm making that one.
I'm almost finished aquascaping and ready to fill.
my bully discus still a problem, no help on the coop forum :(
Some people catch out the bully, rearrange the aquarium to erase former territorys and put the bully back in after some time. Or maybe you need more hiding spots or a bigger group (might require more space), at least that often helps with fighting gouramis.
I've made something very similar for my water changes, but I didn't heat the pipe. PVC can give off strong(harmful) vapours. I would recommend doing this with a mask on in a well ventilated area but better yet, buy a few extra 90's and make roughly the same shape to hook over the tank. I also made sure to use a hose for potable water, you can find them where they sell RV supplies.
Please forgive me if I am overlooking it, but is there a parts list for all the items needed?
Dean should take up glass blowing on the side. His bends are clean 😉
Got to commend Cory for posting a video on DIY pythons when he sells pythons on his website.
wow, your content is very interesting, I'm from Indonesia and I want to ask how can aquatic plants or moss in Aquascape live and be healthy without oxygen?

any ideas on how to scale this down for a ten gallon?
You should make those and sell them! I know I would buy one from you. 😊
Could I thread both sides of the hook so I could use one side to fill (shallow end in the tank) and siphon out (deep end in the tank)? Or am I better making one hook that meets in the middle
I made a vid a couple months ago of my own version of this as well. I used the threaded sprinkler parts as well but used the threaded elbow fittings. After seeing how easy it is to bend I'll be updating my version for better flow. Also After the last vid on your tubs filter lift tube I have decided to play with adding an air stone to act as a pump to start the siphon. What do y'all think?
Sidenote: for those that dont have a 3D printer you can purchase a "mushroom bubbler" type sprinkler (usually found in the same area as the pipe he was using) and it does the same thing.
Could you use this to syphon water from your fish tank? how would you get the syphon started?
Great video! Question: what's the idea behind the salt? Are you filling up the whole tube with it?
Yeah if you watch the last video where he bent the pipe for the indoor mini pond he explains that he fills the entire tube to keep the shape of the pipe as he bends it.
LOL Cory, the thumbnail at first glance looks like a crowbar! I was like, I am NOT using that!
I love you guys i wish i could visit you in real life
Carry buckets. If you do it properly, it's a great workout and it saves you time/gym membership money.
I put together the rest of a "python" together but I need to make a hook. I really like the use of salt to fill the pipe instead of sand!
If you don't want to snap the pipe while heating it like that, you can heat a bucket/tray of sand in your oven, then pour the hot sand into the pipe using a metal funnel. That way you heat the pipe uniformly from the inside, outwards, and the sand inside the pipe helps the pipe keep its shape instead of collapsing in on itself when you inevitably overheat it.
I'm aware it seems like a lot more work, but from experience this method saves you a lot of broken pipes!
