Your amazon link takes you to a double threaded bulk head which will not work for the way you are have your set up. You should annotate more info on the bulk head. I’m set back several days from buying the wrong bulkhead. Thanks for all your videos I really enjoy your content.
Thank you so much for the super specific supply list! You've probably saved me 3 or 4 trips to Home Depot, which will leave more time for me to enjoy my fish.
That little slit in the tubing gives me anxiety that it might one day bust open. I also put 5/8 tubing on 3/4 barbs and I am able to get it on there without a slit. Makes me feel much safer.
Thank you very much for sharing such precious information. I am just a newbie in this hobby and it's difficult to copy your setup directly at where I live (Tokyo) anyway, but I got great inspiration from you. Subbed!
@@fishboy1415 cant wait to see! I'm also interested in seeing how you did the fresh water side of this system. I have 2 racks just like yours, and I plan on mirroring what you have done!
Maybe this is just much more advanced technique, but how do you treat the incoming water with dechlorinator or are you using RO? And how do you know how much old water you've swapped out if the new water is mixing with it as it drains?
Hello new subscriber here and have really enjoyed your videos . I do have one question , you have explained very well the overflow system and I believe I understand that but do you have any videos going over supplying water to the tank with an automatic water change system . Thanks and I look forward to your reply . Thanks Barney
Hi, I'm just wondering why the PVC pipe through the bulkhead isn't one piece. One seam less + you can PVC glue the outside part to the outer knee (a.k.a. elbow).
Thank you for making the video. Love the look of your fish room. Was wondering, other than the silicone on the bulkhead/glass, are you gluing any of the other pieces?
@@fishboy1415 Hi I'd love to understand as I have a pet store with A very old set up which I wish to improve , I love your set up , but if the water is going out the overflow to the sump , doesn't it have to return some how ,
Great video! Question for you, why did you choose 1" for the overflow pipe vs 3/4"? The tank is small, so I would not think that volume would be an issue. The 1" would take up more space in a smaller tank. Getting ready to drill some and would like your feedback. Thanks!
Thank you! I chose 1" because I pump a good amount of water in with the auto water change system, and for each tank, including the larger ones I have, it makes sure that there is no overflow. I've seen other people use 3/4 in with no issues, so I'm sure either would work for you
@@fishboy1415You are reducing those 1" pipes down to 3/4" behind the tank. So the 1" pipe inside the tank does not actually increase the volume of overflow you can handle.
@@clintfockler1113 I'm aware, but that's what works for me. It's much easier to work with tubing that is 5/8, which fits on 3/4 adapter vs a 1 in adapter which would require thicker wider tubing. Works for all my tanks no issues
Thanks for the video, very helpful, especially the parts list. I am curious however: most of your tanks don't seem to use this method. Maybe it's some sort of reflection but most of your tanks seem to have a horizontal pipe coming in the back, some cut on the diagonal, with bubbles exiting the tube. How does that system work and why don't you lose fish? Thanks!
All the tanks use this method. What I think you are referring to might be the matten filters? The horizontal tube is where the air is lifted, they are like sponge filters
@@fishboy1415 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not trying to poke holes, only to understand. I don't know if I can include a picture but maybe I don't understand the filter concept. I would really appreciate a video on that. In the picture I'm seeing, there is only one pipe coming in to the tank. In your original video on 55 tanks look at minute 3:31. There are two tanks with what I'm describing. I don't see other pipes coming in. Just one with bubbles coming out. No return. Please help me understand what I'm missing. Thanks!
So for auto water change systems, do you use a carbon filter to remove chlorine from your tap water or do you have a large vat full of tap water and add dechlorinator?
Love your setup I have a question though do you have to block the pipe with something the drilled part at the side of the tank to stop the fry going through it thanks
The matten filters block the fish from getting near it in the 10 gallons, others I don't really have an issue but if you are concerned they sell strainers you would ass
Fish Boy thank you would mind taking a photo to show me I couldn’t see on your video clear , your set up amazing wish you where in the U.K. I would of had some of them guppies beautiful

I'm glad it helped!
That little slit in the tubing gives me anxiety that it might one day bust open. I also put 5/8 tubing on 3/4 barbs and I am able to get it on there without a slit. Makes me feel much safer.
i dont think there will be enough pressure for it to burst.
dont overthink it
Yeah, I would recommend using correct diameter tubing pluse hose ratchet / clamp
@@dalemansukh That's the way I'd go too.
Awesome! You’ll have a TON of subscribers soon, very well done and made.
Thank you!
Great video thank you.
Nicely arranged aqua setup
Thank you!
I'm loving the sliding lids!
Thank you! Makes it easy to feed 😁

Awsome work !
You should do a video on the kind of light you use I’m having a hard time looking for a bright light for my live plants
Beamswork LED off eBay work great and they are cheap .
Very nice video 📹 keep it up 👆
Thank you!
We would love to see the inner workings of that fishroom. The autowaferchange system as well as the central aeration system. Great viiiid
Thank you! I plan on during a video like that in the future

Love this room what i use end of my drip system line ?
Nice room.
Thank you!
Way better off to use 3/4" tubing and any quality clamp than to reduce the size of the tubing.
Thank you for making the video. Love the look of your fish room. Was wondering, other than the silicone on the bulkhead/glass, are you gluing any of the other pieces?
I'm not gluing any other pieces in this set up
Really nice setup . Is that metal thingy strong enough for the stand ?
Great concept only issue is drilliing a tank or find one that is pre-drilled
He has a video on exactly how he drills his tanks. I've never tried it yet but it seem pretty simple.
So for auto water change you are just adding 10 gallons of water and letting 10 gallons overflow out? So you don’t physically remove any water?
What type of led light are you using on your bottom aquarium looks really green
can you show us that drill bit that you used ? also wo makes those aquarium ? aqueon ?
Can small fish inter this overflow
That's the water going out to the sump , can I ask how are you returning water to the tanks.
It doesn't

I'm doing a similar overflow on a 20 long. How loud is the overflow? Do you get the standard overflow gurgle? Great vids. New sub!
I don't really hear it, but it's not a constant overflow system just when the water change is happening
@fishboy Did you build the lift tubes for the Matten filter or buy Swiss tropicals?

Thanks for sharing. That sump pump is going to get a workout. Do you have a backup for it?
Yes, there's a back up in there
So for auto water change systems, do you use a carbon filter to remove chlorine from your tap water or do you have a large vat full of tap water and add dechlorinator?
The water runs through a carbon block filter first
I see that you have a auto water change drip system. And you mention a sump. Can you show your sump setup?
It's just a pump that pumps all the over flow water outside
Love your setup I have a question though do you have to block the pipe with something the drilled part at the side of the tank to stop the fry going through it thanks
The matten filters block the fish from getting near it in the 10 gallons, others I don't really have an issue but if you are concerned they sell strainers you would ass

Gokuuuuu!!!!
You mentioned the water change sends water down to your sump. What kind of sump set up do you have?
Just a pump that pumps water outside
@@fishboy1415 My bad. I thought you said sump.
What is that second pipe next to the overflow in the tank? 04:56
Part of the matten filter
How do you add water to your racks?
I show it in this video: th-cam.com/video/FeDSjbv1Egg/w-d-xo.html
Do you run co2 in your tanks cause they look so lush with plants
No CO2 in any of the tanks
Should rename fishman! Fishboy is for amateurs. Your not one 😂👍
Few years later : FishLegend
there's a Fishman on YT already .. a great channel as well, builds a lot of cool stuff!
Won’t the fish get sucked into the top of that?
The water added is slow so I've never experienced it. There are strainers that you can add if you are concerned
HEY!!!! You didn't link that darn goofy drill bit.. I need a good one not a chinese off center one of the ole amazon.com..
This is the ones I use, drilled all the tanks in the fish room with these with no issues: amzn.to/3fgDzBa
if you just dry fit the inside PVC, you can twist the elbow 180 degrees to do a partial water change
Where is return pump 🙄
There is none
👍
Great video, thanks
