I couldn't remember that word for like TEN MINUTES. Got it there at the end though, haha, so proud of myself.
I won't judge you if you don't have a central air pump. Promise 😈
it honestly made the video when it was a computer saying it haha
I am your new subscriber give me a betta plsss😖😖😖😖😖
....totally NOT judging!
Was MD being sarcastic?!
@@none_yabitch9199 no lol.
@@MDFishTanks oh ok ☺️ if you were I would really be flipping out because you seem like a really nice guy
@@none_yabitch9199 no, I just found Taylor very engaging at that part and felt compelled to comment haha.
@@MDFishTanks ohh okey
Quick question what time is it currently where you live I always wanted to know that
“My children are like little plague rats” I am deceased 😂😂😂 that is the content I am here for
LOL! I just have to tell it like it is sometimes
"it's a freaking Valve" omg I burst out laughing.
SAME! I had to pause the vid I was laughing so hard!
I had to edit out so much of me just standing there staring off into space trying to remember the word… 😭😭😄
isn't it funny how your brain can just temporary shut off a common word that you should know?? Happens to me all the time!
Hahahaha YES!!!!! YOUR FREAKING AWESOME!!!
I love how "gang valve" came out naturally but thinking of it by itself the word couldn't come to mind :)
Air is the way to go!!!
"It's a freaking valve" 🤣 love it.
I don't have enough tanks in one place for a system like that, but I do/did use a single larger pump to filter several tanks with sponge filters and box/corner filters.
I hope you get the fish room of your dreams in your new house.
Yeah. It feels like a loss to me. But it will be newer and better in the new house, starting from scratch.
I’m so glad you are accepting help with the shelf disassembly. I hate letting others do stuff I wanna do, but there’s only so much we can do! Funt o see the process, thanks for sharing it with us. Looking forward to seeing where you are headed!
Will be back to watch this when I build out my room!
I do not judge you...I admire you. You are a tough cookie.
Amazing Taylor!
One of the best fish You Tuber I’ve seen explanes perfect, gets to the point and actually don’t waist the viewers time 💯
straight to point and very beginner friendly…very entertaining and enthusiastic. It’s a passion and I’m greatly appreciative to be Able to learn from you.
I appreciate that! I have a more recent video of the came concept in my new fish room, if you want to see more :)
Lol great video!!! Great you came by the stream today ❤️❤️❤️
You had me cracking up with the valve thing. I just found your channel and I've been binge watching. Thanks for being informational AND hilarious.
You inspired me to shift from discus fish to betta fish. All the videos are Awesome, I really like watching it daily .
Please keep up the good work !!!!
Oh wow! I hope you’re enjoying it
Great video! Thank you for showing the details of how its done.
My pleasure thanks for watching!
I'm using under gravel filters with airstones for all of my tanks these days. I was able to build my media bases out of a sheet of corrugated pvc and it's been working well.
I run my entire fishroom, about 27 tanks on two air pumps, one on each side of the room (because the room is large), but otherwise, a similar setup. I just have a line of airline that meanders around the room with other airlines attached near each tank, each with their own valve to control the airflow. It makes it super easy to move tanks around and add new ones - and when I empty a tank, I just move it's sponge filter, airline and all to the next tank over to keep it running.
Hey new to your channel, this video cracked me up 🤣🤣. Seriously, I'm a mom too, setting up my new Bettas coming in a few weeks. I love how simply you explain things. I'm feeling a bit lost watching all the hard core hobbiest videos. I'm not dumb, 🤣 just such a newbie at all this. I've kept fish on and off for years, but it's my first time trying hobby breeding. Love the content. 🖐️ High 5 mamma. I need this.
Awesome video!!!
Thanks!
You always crack me up! Great way to filter a bunch of tanks! I only have three tanks, but I think I need to change out the two non sponge filters to sponge filters.
Haha well thank you : P I like sponge filters mostly because I can do LOTS of tanks with one nice pump!
WooooooW!!! Your channel is blowinh up! Good for you. You totally deserve every single subs... Close to 100 now! So happy for you my Lady🌹
THAT was totally enjoyable. AND educational! Thank you!
Ha ha thanks so much @Beaka63
You know, although these videos are older- they're giving me ideas on how to maintain more tanks but without all the costs of hob filters and whatnot. Thank you for the tutorial and information!!
My pleasure!
Jehmco pumps are the best!
I want to get a fish room big enough to do that sort of filtration one day! I love dedicated fish rooms with that sort of tech. Water changing systems and filtration system is the way to go!
Absolutely, an automatic water change system is my dream
Totally cracks me up!!! I get the same way with words... complete blank and then later, "ding"! There's the word and I can't figure out how I forgot that simple word!!!
I totally identify!!
I appreciate your thoughts on the air pump system. If my kids ever move out and I get my fish room (fingers crossed), I will keep this method in mind.
Thanks, Taylor - for the laughs and info!
Just found your channel and what do you do, solve my problem as I restart into the hobby! Brilliant solution for how I want to filter my tanks. I want to use sponge filters but couldn’t figure out a simple solution. And tada! Solved. Thanks so much. And hope the sale goes brilliantly and the new home is everything you wish.
Oh. And obviously, subscribed :-).
Love your videos - Your very entertaining. Great job.
Oh my goodness thank you
Thanks for showing my fish room! Wish I knew the trick of putting the valve in the drill, I did all mine by hand 😬 my wrist were not happy! 😂
Oh man! Thank goodness for that trick, because I have terrible tendinitis right now and I wouldn’t have been able to do anything if I had to do it by hand LOL. My pleasure, I love the full and bright and uniform look of your tank racks
@@SimplyBetta thank you! Good luck with the move!
Smart and efficient 😎👍
Great video tips
Hope you and your crew are doing well Taylor! 😊💕 Have a great holiday season! Thanks for sharing! I was always curious how you maintained so many tanks.
Thanks so much, You too! :)
You are so funny. Like it so much. Thank you.
Nice one!
I was kind of hoping for another tantrum though🤣⚡️😎
I had bottled it in at this point…
Now I know what project I'm doing when we move in a year or two. :)
Very nice
I have eight tanks in my living room (not enough room here for a separate fish room). I have a big air pump in the kitchen with a line running through the wall so that everyone can enjoy my tanks without having to listen to the pump all the time. Sadly Jehmco doesn't ship to Ireland, but I have a big Tetra pump that works great!
I love that idea, that’s the one downside of air pumps. The noise! It’s just a tiny hum but sure is annoying
I never thought about using a screw through a zip tie. Clever.
They are handy!
Very helpful. I have been slowly increasing the number of tanks... And for each tank I added 4 valve pump it's expressive to run and so inefficient. I think I'm going to upgrade and sell off the other air pumps online.
You crack me up every time. I really enjoy your videos during this dark time. (Little plague rats had me rolling)
LOL! Thanks, glad you liked it❤️
This is honestly perfect timing! I’m building a fish rack for my 4 tanks and 3 run on air pumps (with multiple sponges in each tank, separated yah know?) and I think that this would be such a nice alternative for three different air pumps fighting for a power strip.
It might make less noise than three separate smaller air pumps too 🤔
@@SimplyBetta maybe! Thankfully the ones I have now are pretty quiet, but I kind of like the white noise they make during the night. But I think it’ll be easier having one main air pump to power all of my tanks, so I’m definitely going to give your method a shot! Thank you for sharing it!
Thanks a lot! Very helpful c:
Lol plague rats love it! Your bad 😂. I called mine “snot lickers”
That’s a good one!
Rename them Plague Rat 1 & Plague Rat 2. But I'd recommend Snot licker A; SL B & so forth 😁
@@Evilnikki 🤣
That was a fun video :-)
Thanks!
Cool love it ❤️🙏
I have to get one of those “VALVES” Jemco pumps. My old whispers are showing age and getting “ Valves”noisey. .. I can’t stop saying “VALVES” 🤣🤣
I so need a central air pump!
I need that electronic voice to say valve a few more times..... 😂😂😂
Taylor your so cool!
*struts away cool-ly*
I hope you get to have another room soon. Also yay 1st comment
I’m not sure I’m brave enough to just depend on a sponge filter but I’m getting there. I wanna see you bathroom when it’s all put back together.
Very nice why pump up high though if low do you need check valves???
Clever! And I’ve only just found you ... dang! 😏
She will be back....at least she better be!!!
Really nice Vid Taylor. Remember I shared my story (Moving from Maryland to Texas) with you on the Gram. I'm really looking forward to your new fish room videos. I hope you are not retiring?
I thought taylor just toook a break from youtube I missed her, BUT youtube just sucks smh. At least now I can binge
haha well I did fall off my routine for a LOT of last year during the 'rona. Not being able to escape from my kids (love them, promise) sorta killed my "making videos" time! I'm back on track though
Hi there. I'm looking at going full air and sponge filters versus HOBS and sponges like I have now. How is your system holding up? I'm only running 12 tanks.
Glad l’m not the only one that forgets the names of things 😬🤪
I always wondered how that worked, thanks!
Hey Taylor, I was wondering if you have a video on betta sororities and whether you are for or against them, and how to pick your girls. I think Bettas are so beautiful and it seems more convenient to have several in a single tank. OR how to keep a betta in a community tank and not let the betta hoard the food. Thank you!
I am judging you, for trying to do it all by yourself. Tyler, you're a power woman, you're handy, you're knowledgeable, a multitasker and caring. Stop defending yourself for asking for help, you don't need to do that. If anyone gives you hell for hiring someone to help you out, I'll take the next plane to have a really good talk with them about descency. Fuck em.
I can't wait to see how your hobby grows back in the future. Thanks for this informative video and good luck selling the place 😊
Plaque rats..... haha that's awesome!
Good video. Question, do you use sch 40 or sch 80 pipe? I heard you need thick pipe For valves thread to dig in and seal good. the but those sch 80 pipes aren't available at home depot or lowes.
How about using thicker 1" sch 40 pvc?
I used sch 40! You could probably use 1" PVC just fine for an air system, but at the time I thought a smaller diameter pipe would mean more pressure which could power more tanks. I'm not sure that mattered though. If you have a larger fish room with large tanks, I might recommend checking out Rachel O'Leary's channel, she went over her air system too
So is there a absolute max that can be used with that pump?
central air is great... now if only i could use them to heat and cool tanks because australia is a pregnant lady atm yesterday 41c (dunno 110f or something) and today its 15c (the coldest it can be before most tropical fish die it seems) ... i said this before and everyone said just have an auto waterchange... but they dont understand that the water is kept outside then pumped in steel pipes down a hill above ground so its the same temp or HOTTER
Pozdrawiam serdecznie panią 👍👍👍👍👍
Going for big fish room
Lol you make me laugh and don't worry I forget words too is ok
insted of pvc pipe I ran normal garden hose and then tapped into it using stainless valve taps, running one air pump I have managed to run thirty spunge filters and 8 air stones. Great vid though
Great to see you again! (valves lol) 🐠
Valves! LOL
Hahah that valve lmao
❤
I'm making a Christmas wish list, and I have a 5 gallon cube tank I'm going to put a betta in. What filter do y'all recommend?
A small sponge filter should be fine!
I second a sponge filter. They work great and last forever.
@@vonke any specific brands?
A sponge filter or the tiniest little nano hang on back filter you can fine! Placed in a way that minimizes flow
Will next house have a dedicated fish room ?
You bet! That’s the plan
Where can I buy some fish?
How do you handle heating your tanks?
I have a small electric heater in this room and a fan, which keeps the fish room a very stable temperature. I also use heaters in tanks if I need to boost it a few more degrees
I live in a rental with a closet inside of my bathroom which stays at like 25-27C and it has shelving... i gave up fish keeping till im gonna buy a house but you know yeah girl is itching to get some bettas
I would be itching too!
@@SimplyBetta Dosnt help the room has a floor drain and i dont pay for electricity D: > Highly consitering it if i get a job soon.
🥰
Want ME to help you dismantle those shelves Taylor? hehe Id love to!
Jehmco NEVER has those AV1E is stock. I've been trying to buy them for years, but I NEVER see them in stock and can't find self tapping air valves anywhere.
Oh lame, sorry. You could try ebay!
@@SimplyBetta I literally check there nearly every day as well. I have all my pvc and other supplies, but I need to find dependable valves to install. I have also been looking for some type of air inlet for the pvc to connect to an airline and then to my 925 gph air pump, but I can't find anything. Can a hole just be drilled into a pvc end cap and then the airline simply pushed into that?
Oh ya, is this pump quiet? My husband is getting a bit annoyed at me and all my noisy pumps and filters in our bedroom 😁.
Will you be making a new fish room once you move ???
Hopefully! We don’t have a new house yet but I can hope
@@SimplyBetta hopefully you could find a good home with more space for fish 🤷♂️, because I’d hate to see you leave the TH-cam community as your content is amazing.
Plus, tradution the ispanis
So my son has 7 tanks in his bedroom against outside walls and because I didn't know any better each one has is own hob, light, heater and air pump. Which results in a s$#& ton of wires and plug in things and how did you get the picture of behind the tanks for your video? Weird?!!! So..... Is it too late? Can I simplify the mess? Help?!
My tanks are too scattered for a central air pump system to work, but I wish I could do something like this. It would be so much nicer.
It’s really convenient! Most people have scattered tanks though :-) in that case I’d prefer a bunch of little hang on back filters probably
You don't ship to canada? 😢😭😭
So what’s happening to your store and channel? Is the new place going to have a fish room?
Can we appreciate how she couldn't remember valve for one but remembered it for the gang valve?
I caught that when I was editing… 😭😭😭
@@SimplyBetta if it helps, I forget the same question I tell all my clients which is "how're you feeling?" 😅
2:19 why is that literally me
Gosto tanto dos vídeos, pena que não entendo nada kkkkk
Preciso de legendas!
dont worry Taylor, I forgot the word for "bucket" for like an hour once =]
also yeah i have only 8 tanks, 3 of which are divided betta tanks so each section has a sponge filter so this method is super nice. Once i get a grown uip fish room ill definitely have more XD
What are you going to do with the hobby?
Yeah, my mom called me a couple of weeks ago to declare that she and my sister were not dumb... she was upset because her TV had not been working and they had tried for several days to fix it. Then a month or so later, someone else came over, changed the batteries in the remote, and lo... it worked. So, yeah... it happens to everyone...
Haha, it happens!
Like when you’re looking for your phone everywhere but it turns out you were talking on your phone to somebody the whole time…
what do they call it... I know the word.... *ten hours later* VALVE!!!! MY LIFE XD XD XD
Haha, I got it though!! :D
Are you calling it a career?
Not really cheap n easy starting with a $200+ pump then valves, fittings etc.
Why doesn't your husband help you ?
Your husband doesnt help?
Very nice why pump up high though if low do you need check valves???
