Uploaded a new version of this video to replace the initial one as I noticed a mistake in the dimensions of the gutters I use 180 mm instead of 125 mm.
Do you think a 190 gallons per hour power head pump is big enough? Right now I have 15 gallons of water in 1/2 gallon jars on 2 ft shelves. Just bought a metal unit 4ft long with 6 shelves, that would allow 20 jars per shelf - 10 gallons per shelf... 60 gallons max. At the rate I am expanding, I would probably only use 3 shelves until spring. Would the 190 GPH power head be enough to handle 30 gallons of jars?
Can you update your website and put more info on genetics? Especially tail genetics? Like what happens in a VT × HM breeding Plakat × VT HM × Plakat etc...
The outcome of such crosses is usually it so straightforward because they involve multiple traits. - *Crossing VT x HM* can lead to quite a big range of phenotypes in F1 ranging from VT-like to roundtail and/or (super)delta offspring. In F2 likely a similar variation will appear. - *Crossing PK x VT* will lead to all longfinned offspring unless the VT is also carrier for PK. When you use a traditional PK with only a 2-ray branching there is a good change the offspring will be VT-like. As all the F1 fry will be carrier of shortfin, there is a chance of getting both PK and VT in F2. - *Crossing PK x HM* likely will give you similar results in F1 than crossing VT x HM. When the HM is not carrying shortfin, all the offspring in F1 will be longfin. As all the F1 fry will be carrier of shortfin, there is a chance of getting both PK and VT in F2. I hope this information is useful to you?
Thanks for sharing Joep👍 Do you have the uv light on timer or running 24 7? Same question for the pumps? How 0ften you do maintenance on sump and individual jars? Do you stop the water flow if feeding bbs or live foods?
CrowntailHalfmoon the UV light is on 24/7 but is only connected to one pump, so all water will go through multiple times per day eventually. The pumps/flow run 24/7 and is not stopped during feeding or the waterchanges (siphoning each individual jar manually every 2-3 days) only stop flow once a year when I do the annual cleaning where I take the system completely apart.
@@BettaTerritory Joep do you add dechlorinated water back to the individual jars or the sump when removing wastes from each jar? How much water do you siphon out of each jar and what's total volume of water in the system? If there's an power outage do the sump hold the excess water run off? Thank you for sharing.
@@CrowntailHalfmoon I siphon 30-60% manually every 2-3 days. Water is replaced by pumping fresh water back into the sump. More on this is shown in this video at 3:20 min: th-cam.com/video/zEGMtBiRZ84/w-d-xo.html
@@BettaTerritory sorry for my question, how did you put the valve into pipe? If you do drill to connect the valve into the pipe what should you do to prevent leaking damage?
Примите мои поздравления и искреннее восхищение вашими прекрасными рыбками.
Thank you very much 🙏.

Hi wanting to know where you get the plastic 2.8 liter jars from?

Very nice Joep. What is the capacity in liters for each jar?
Hi my friend, long time no speak, nice to hear from you. I hope you are well? The jars I use in this system hold ~3L.
@@BettaTerritory I am good Joep, thanks. How are you? Thanks, 3L is a nice size for growing jarred individuals.

Thank you Joep
What's your approach for power outage and do the sump hold excess water running off?
Sir when you drill the hole for the valve did you put some silicon protection for water leaks?
I did not drill any holes for the valves, but maybe I have misunderstood your question. Can you explain what you mean?
@@BettaTerritory sorry for my question,
how did you put the valve into pipe?
If you do drill to connect the valve into the pipe what should you do to prevent leaking damage?
@@goysjohn9239 u get special connectioms that pres into main line with no leaks look by garden irrigation shops
Hi , do you use the Indian almond leaf with the dripping system ?
I usually add some leaves to the first compartment of the filter, so the water contains the tanins which are extracted. The fish love it.
what heaters are u using here btw ... as well as pump models
At 4:14 minutes you can find a list of materials I used. As heaters I use Eheim jäger heaters.
Where did you get the gutters?
This type of gutters can be purchased at construction / DIY stores here in the Netherlands.
Betta Territory dang I’m in the US and can’t find anything like that.
Are they called gutters or something else?
I would really appreciate it if someone could let me know where I can find these gutters in the US. Thank you!
