@@GCaquatics I wouldn't worry about those snails out there just don't put those plants in your inside tank ! Those snails are hard to get rid of 👌🏻I still get them ha ha I don't like them ! I got 3 pest snails fight with but I don't mind the Trumpet to much they live in substrate! The ones you got put eggs all over !
Dear Gabriel: Although it is not possible, to install side windows, on this Intermediate Bulk Container tote, you should have great success breeding fish, in it. You will have loads of fauna (and perhaps flora) to add, to your aquaria. Thank you for sharing this, terrific build, on TH-cam. All my best, Sincerely, E. J. Brinegar
That didn’t look too bad a little bit of elbow grease and you got her done. Would using a skill saw or sawzall be easier than the jig saw or angle grinder you used? Just a thought. If you really wanted to be precise a conduit hand saw could also work (take longer obviously). Also for the edges bordering edges and corners maybe a hand held belt grinder with some 220 grit would clean up the jaggedness and allow you to shape those corners into curves.
haha spoken like a man who works with his hands :D ya i used the grinder just to make the initial holes for the jigsaw, I was going to use a sasaw but couldn't find my blades :p Ya it wasnt to hard for my first try, I'm excited to get the third one going with a big window, just gotta find one without all the ridges.
@@GCaquatics ya the viewing window idea is really cool and I like the porthole on the one you already have running super unique. I’m sure they’re not all made the same and finding one with flat sides shouldn’t be too difficult
I would have used bleach on the inside instead of soap. The soap will leave a film. But with the volume of water you probably will be safe. Bleach will evaporate. Just my opinion
@@GCaquatics I would bleach it well all inside really well drain it then let it sit for a day until it all evaporates. Then fill it up stir it up good drain it then you should be ready to go. But like I said that's what I would do. I use bleach every week on my filter socks I wash them in nothing but bleach let them dry then the next week rotate the clean ones in the sump. Same with my FX 6s I bleach the out sponges and swap them out with the clean ones. Plastic plants I bleach them as well. So as long as you let it dry up well you will be fine
Me too, I'm so excited about it, i can't wait to see how they work, I mean you get almost 300 gallons in a 3X4' space, you cant beat it. Thanks for stopping by brother.
I only first saw IBCs for fish watchig Adrians Fishroom. I'd love to have a few of them, but just not a great thing here in teh desert. Now if we were still on Ornage County, that'd be a whole differnet story! Curious: is there any reason not to cut the entire top off? But I guess you answered that. 🙂 Hah! I just googled IBC totes for sale and found some food grade totes for $95 each! Unfortunately ya gotta buy 12!!!! But they're out there on Google. Great project, Gabriel! ~Ron
It does get a little hotter in your area than over here, but they do fine in Bakersfield at 113 is hottest ive seen so far. You can actually buy food grade ones cheaper on craigslist if you are really interested.
That is pretty cool, can't wait to see the next one with a big viewing window.
Ya i was bummed to not be able to put in a big window but that only makes me more excited for the next one.
Awesome looks fun ,new stuff 👍🏻
yup yup im super excited about this project and truly looking forward to the next one if i can put a huge viewing window on it.

@@Smalltimetanks Ya i wont put in my "show tank" for sure, but maybe the breeder tank in the room to give the guppies and shrimp somewhere to hide.
Thank you

@@brantonlightcap it will be a couple months but I'lll start looking for one. Pretty excited to get that one going but have to save up for it first.

Oh wow i didnt even think of that, i just used what the other guy said to use, should i hit it with bleach now? i rinsed it 3 times.

@@GCaquatics heck yea, will be cool.
IV ALWAYS WANTED TO DO THIS
