I love this video. I never realized that fish rooms just added new water to the tanks. I thought it was recycled water like a homeowner tank. I’m just getting back into fish and looking to build a room. This has been a great help.

[@JadrenAquatics]

Thanks glad you enjoyed it

[@caewalker9276]

Thank you Jason for taking the time to show us. You must be run off your feet at the moment.

[@Dan_Slee]

Love the use of the Booster pump and plex tubing. Should work great for top offs and refilling after water changes on my shrimp racks. Great info on all these videos Jason. Thank you! Just ordered my parts, I added in a sediment filter and 60 psi limiter for the manifold, and shut off valves before the drip emitters. Went with 2 gph drip emitters so I can refill 10-20% of a 10gallon in 30-60 mins or so.

[@JadrenAquatics]

Your very welcome!

[@catfishcave379]

Very well explained. I don’t have room for a water storage tote nor nearly as many tanks as you so I think I will do a variant of your system. It won’t be automatic, but every tank will be plumbed so I only have to flip a switch or turn a ball valve to drain and another to fill. This way I can add dechlorinator manually. I like doing water changes because I like watching the fish’s reactions to changing water levels, so this way I can sit and be mesmorized.

[@JadrenAquatics]

You like doing water changes blasphemy!! lol

[@seanootd3406]

Another great one Jason you know this but for anyone reading this I highly recommend this build im doing same thing for 50 tanks in my fish shed This was my favorite design of any system couldn't recommend it more

Thanks Sean!

That is a better system than what i was about to try on my rack. Thinking of changing what i was going to do now.

Fantastic great video 📹 keep it up 👆 please

[@susanmooreguppies6009]

Hey Jason, Thank you for taking the time to put these videos together! They are very helpful! Will you please explain how you switch between zones for the different sections of tanks? Did you create a gang valve? Thanks!

[@JadrenAquatics]

No I just have one pump that has 5 tees at the beging that acts as gang valves but you can't control pressure to each

[@alaskajdw]

Great video

[@CrowntailHalfmoon]

Thank you for sharing Sir.👍 Great information. Can you do a video to show how the fresh water is connected from the pump to the red tubing manifold?

[@matthewloomis2942]

Yeah I'd use the black tubing for irrigation

[@JadrenAquatics]

I tried that stuff and it does not work very well when connecting to the quick disconnects

[@matthewloomis2942]

@@JadrenAquatics yeah you would have to use the connections for the drip irrigation system instead

cool video

[@dougdame6706]

I thought from your commentary on the video that you had set up sub-sections, one for each group of 6 tanks, with some type of manifold to switch between them. But you didn't show anything like that, or list any parts. So are all of these tanks connected "in series" so to speak?

[@JadrenAquatics]

I have a manifold system at home but at the office it's more connected in succession from one tank to the other but in reality it does not matter which way you do it. Thanks

[@JadrenAquatics]

The whole system is connected together with 1/4 water line with quick disconnects

Jason what is you opinion on the ziss brine shrimp incubator? I hatched them manually but decided to order one from co opp. Just curious as I think you use these.

[@JadrenAquatics]

Never used one yet so I don't really no much about it sorry

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

@@JadrenAquatics ... Ahh okay, I thought I seen you had one, guess I was wrong. I agree hatching eggs with all the dyi ways it's not needed but it seems like it comes with a lot so wanted one anyways with all the fish I have now and hundreds coming in steadily, I just thought it was best. I have a few offers thrown at me that I do not really want but may take them for fish swaps, no clue yet, just throwing out there possibility of some trading with you by other breeders, I have flowerhorns I and discuss that I could be wholsaling or trading out now. Higher end, flowerhorns and discuss. I have photos and such. I just don't want to commit to larger fish in tanks is the reason I am backing off them but I been involved with reptile wholesale this same way and did well with it so I'd you want to communicate about those, we can, I could send you strains and photos. Just thought I would ask if you are interested I rest assure a decent trade value and such.

[@JadrenAquatics]

@@supportyourtroopsathletes6460 I'm avoiding any large fish in fact I'm phasing out angelfish. Takes to big a bag then too big of a box so I've decided to stay with small fish only.

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

@@JadrenAquatics ... Very smart move on moving out of the angels and larger species. Not a fan of them either and we think a lot a like in that area on sticking with smaller fish. If I take these in it would only be for fish swaps only and for cheap wholsale, I do not want them either for the same reasons you have. Guppies only for me, that's it.

[@dakuaquatics]

Hey Jason, I am thinking of using this with my 10 gallon rack system i just set up. There are 4 10 gallon tanks per shelf, 12 total tanks per rack. Do you think i can run all 12 tanks on this pump using 1/2 gallon drip emitters? I don't want to purchase an underperforming pump, or not be able to do the entire rack with 1 pump since i have 4 i need to do. Secondly, since you are only running a few tanks on each manifold, are you just swapping them when you're about to change another set of tanks? So basically just have a bunch of runs next to the pump labelled and ready to swap one after the other to continue doing WCs? Thanks for everything, Daku

[@JadrenAquatics]

One pump can handle about 50 1/2 drippers so you got plenty of power. No my manifold runs all at the same time but I have 2 pumps at my house Fidh room

I wished I could do automatic water changes but I do not trust the pH levels here. Now what I started doing on my breeding tanks I will have my new video out on my solar unit for Filtration and heat soon but I been installing drain pipes to mine for easy water changes. I would love to be able to have to have a fast water change system but I just do not trust the water here unless I treat in manually. Is there a guaranteed way for certain?

[@supportyourtroopsathletes6460]

@Karma I will give it a try but with breeding high end Guppies I just want to be using extra precautionary measures at all times is all. This is why I just never trusted automatic water changes but what your saying makes sense. To much to lose in my stock with the slightest mistake so I need to be cautious.
