What it is logic behind choosing the sizes of aquariums to include in your fish room? Here is a video about the sizes I chose, why and how they are racked in my fish room.
How much space do you have behind your racks. I am working on the layout for my room I am not sure I can give up enough space to get behind mine. Your videos have been a great help to me, thank you
Do you remember the height of the 3 tier staggered racks you have in this video? Thanks for all the amazing info you have packed into your channel....👏👏👏
Did you ever cover the specifics of the water change system? I'm setting up a small fish room with sponge filtration and I need ideas on how to change the water with the tanks drilled.
Hello Ted what’s your opinion? I see allot of people with 3 or 4 sponge filters in one tank instead of 2 big sponge filters rated for 120 gallons each. What’s you thoughts is there a reason or advantage to multiple instead of 2 bigger sponges. I was checking out some that were rated for 120 gallons each . How many and what size would you put on a 90 gallon tank with a male and female flowerhorn? i do weekly water changes would you go big if it was you or 2 that were rated for 60 gallon each or 2 rated 120 gallons each. Just curious what you would do.
There are two advantages to multiple filters. First, there is more outside surface area on two filters than one, if the total volume of the two filters is the same at the one larger. That outer surface area is where crap enters the sponge, so more water can enter faster with a smaller sponge. Seems counter-intuitive, but it is true. That has nothing to do with the internal surface area where the bacteria grow, which is the same if the combined volume of the two smaller is equal to the volume of the larger. Second, you can clean the sponges on an alternating schedule. If I were filtering a 90-gallon cichlid tank, I would use one 120-gallon filter. Two 60-gallon filters would work too.
Super informative thanx for posting the vid ;)...in January i start building my fish room too, can you plz send me the link to your aquarium rack set up, your wooden stands are the exact style i have in mind. Thank's in advance :)
I like everything you've said but I'm surprised that you didn't take the trouble to paint or otherwise protect the wooden pieces of racking before assembly. Still a very nice setup though.
If you are talking about cichlids, let the parents care for the fry for a few days before separating any. Overall, keep fry in small tanks and feed them a LOT. Water changes are therefore necessary too. Fry run out of energy very quickly.
Hey Ted Judy Ive watched your video about giving up the wholesale facility, I was surprised you had to give it up. Is there really no $ to make even for a well known guy like yourself? John Gamble
Do you have a male at all? Probably temperature. I am not sure of the exact relationship, but if you are over 80F or under 70F, I would get the temp back into the mid-70's.
Congratulations, Ted! It is of note, the right organization and cleaning of the tanks!
Awesome fishroom Ted!
Love the new setup Super clean and fish husbandry friendly! Great job
Well done Ted! Greetz, Willy(Zooman) Netherlands.
Great video Ted!! The layout is well thought out and efficient
How much space do you have behind your racks. I am working on the layout for my room I am not sure I can give up enough space to get behind mine. Your videos have been a great help to me, thank you
I wish I could see this in person. Amazing.
I've been watching your videos and subscribed.New fish room is impressive and very accessible.looking foward to see more vids.
Looks Great!!! I like how it is very organized!
Do you remember the height of the 3 tier staggered racks you have in this video?
Thanks for all the amazing info you have packed into your channel....👏👏👏
The height of the back (longest) verticals on those racks was 60". That placed the top tanks (12"H) at my eye level.
Love the drip system... cant wait or the video... Best thing I ever did in my room....
thanks Ted!!!
Great info! Beautiful fish room!
Nice job Ted, lotsa luck.
A fish room video where people actually speak! YES!!!

Hey! Ted what are the hours do you open your Fish Room would like to stop by to buy some fish and plants but first got to re-setup my tanks.
Not a store... no open hours. Contact me through my website if you need fish or plants. There is a stock list posted there: www.tedsfishroom.com
Great ideas in this video. Thanks Ted.
Amazing fish room! 🐟
Very nice Ted...
Question - What air-pump do you recommend for 15 ten gal tanks ?
A quite air pump for 15 sponge filters ?
Thank you in advance.
A small linear piston air pump. I like the brands at Jehmco.com
are those vertical supports on the stair step racks 2x6's ?

Im waiting for your vid on the water change system so i can do start doing mine.
congrats to your great fishroom!
Ted how are the tanks supported on the racks, looks like only the ends of the smaller tanks are on the racks.
A tank will be stable with any two opposite edges on a rail.
I like everything you've said but I'm surprised that you didn't take the trouble to paint or otherwise protect the wooden pieces of racking before assembly. Still a very nice setup though.
Time... this room was assembled from from bare floor to water in about 5 days.
Good call then. Getting homes ready for the fish is the priority always.
That's what I call a fishroom, just subscribed :)
Hi nice video what do you find the most effective way to keep fry with little to none dieing off in your experience of keeping fry thanks
If you are talking about cichlids, let the parents care for the fry for a few days before separating any. Overall, keep fry in small tanks and feed them a LOT. Water changes are therefore necessary too. Fry run out of energy very quickly.
thanks a lot
ted, very good... congratulation
Wow a real nIce setup.
Awsome room
Hey Ted. Love your videos. My fish room is bigger, never needs water changes, and cleans itself. Let me know if you'd like a tour sometime.
Make a tour!!!
hers a big hint, watch my videos. Mine is much bigger, but I wont post videos because my equipment is all proprietary Trade secrets and such.

Oops. Wrong Account. Search YT for veggiefins
Dan Smith Mines bigger than yours!
You're vids are awesome,very jealous!
Hello Ted, could you make a video about Rummy nose and cardinal tetra breeding?
I am not set up for it, sorry. I no longer have a fish room for breeding.
Hey Ted Judy Ive watched your video about giving up the wholesale facility, I was surprised you had to give it up. Is there really no $ to make even for a well known guy like yourself? John Gamble
Not much... At least not enough to make it worth the time.
wow how about now that your back in your basement, is it good money now?
Solid info, great advice!
That Super Great!! Thumbs Up!!
holy shit!thats awasome!
I’m a little late here but this is great information!

How is the room heated ?
+cichlidfinder The building's furnace keeps it warm. I set the thermostat at 75. Top tanks are about that. Bottom tanks are about 72.
Love it so much
I have 10 adult female guppy and I never get any male fry, only females. why?
Do you have a male at all? Probably temperature. I am not sure of the exact relationship, but if you are over 80F or under 70F, I would get the temp back into the mid-70's.
You might want to look at pH as it is a strong influence on gender in most fish.
Damn, you only have the type of fish i like. Gimme some!!
nice👌
sweet
Your are the truth
Wow a real nIce setup.
