My New Aquariums Finally Get a Water Change System - Fish Room Update Ep. 115

[@AquariumCoop]

*What kind of fish would you keep in a cinder block rack like this one?*

[@PersonalGunpowder]

I would keep a million swordtails and honey gouramis

[@kathrynthomas6390]

Currently in love with danios and CPD's!

[@taylorcaudil8058]

my most prized fish, hands down

[@AndNowThis..]

Do you sell those fish tanks? They are so pretty.

[@DasEmpress]

Brain Overload! 🧠 😁

[@JGPMusic]

You can tell how genuine Dean and Coreys friendship is, they never speak over each other and it never feels awkward at any point, just two friends chilling out doing what they enjoy, love it.

[@grdbt]

robert is corys brother. why not to disclose it cory?

[@Constantine_Cvl8]

@@grdbt I mean, is it even necessary? Two people being brothers but are never heard stating that they _are_ brothers doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

[@kieranmoore6618]

I love that cory let's dean speak so much now. If you watch some of the older videos he tried a lot harder to steer the conversation but seems like he does that less now and just let's dean speak.

[@Comrade_Akimov]

Something black ppl should learn

[@krypticlock]

Agreed. It's a rare occurrence, and they make it look normal and easy.

[@kathrynthomas6390]

I love how approachable this is! You both have fish rooms that are absolutely stunning, but you break it down into pieces that novices can do!

[@taylorcaudil8058]

as a plumber, that was a great slope!😉

[@stefan00123]

Thanks to visit and meet at the vivarium aquariumshow in the netherlands Cory! Hope to see you next year!!

[@Riquelme00007]

this little series came out right when I'm building out my fishroom and all of this has been invaluable on me building out my own.

[@monkeybrains41]

This fish room is really turning into a work of art, it shows the progression of both Cory and Deans knowledge and innovation!

[@sydneysangels]

I love watching videos of you guys, there's nothing better than working on fish room projects with a good friend! 😊

[@gregjonesonline]

Two diy tips, if you use a threaded bulkhead on the outside and connect a barbxthread elbow and loosely lower the tank over the 2-3" drain pipe you can drain and remove a tank and not damage the plumbing and it puts no pressure on the acrylic. Other one being, if you want to heat PVC without the chance of a kink you can bake sand to 400 degrees, funnel it inside, bend to shape, and then remove the sand, sort of a pain but looks really clean

[@THandP_org]

Your suburban fish barn/fish farm renovation is much like cleaning my rack system, except chronic illness means I have to space it out over 3 to 5 days, and plan oxygen supplies for fish accordingly. How awesome!!!!

[@sunriseeyes0]

This was so fun to watch! Putting stuff together and just having it work perfectly is so satisfying 🙏🏽💗

[@thijs8363]

Met Cory at Vivarium today, got a poster and a photo, it was awesome!

[@marquis2428]

I love these gentlemen’s channel

[@legionaquatics]

I love the little clips of dean 🤣

[@shadowdweller9833]

Sometimes I think you guys just injoy doing the work.

[@DebzAquaPetz]

Love Watching you and Dean together great job 👏 🤗

[@jimmyreese4740]

Loving all the changes to the fish room!!

[@djc20]

You are very lucky to have such a wonderful friend.

[@franzvanjulio5523]

It’s just lovely watching you two guys do that together. Thanks for sharing. It seems like quite the system. I hope it works great. :)

[@Crazytown54-g1t]

Looks great! How do you keep the weight from bowing that wood plank in the center without having any center support?

[@user-tz9jh6pv2j]

lol.... those are like 20 gallon tanks. they're nowhere near heavy enough to mess up 2x4s..........

[@Pennysfishkeeping]

I've been so looking forward to seeing this set up! Heckkkkin awesome job y'all!

[@marivonne16]

Love Dean’s Spongebob timestamps! ❤

[@jauken83]

Heatgun is one of my go to Harbor Freight items. $10-15, and mine has actually lasted several years now.

[@adkgaladkgal1799]

Your aquariums are so nice. Love the super clear tank. How about keeping YOUR favorite fish in there. I enjoy seeing all the fish you keep. I have kept fancy goldfish for many years. I had a heater burn up my tropical fish, now have kept only goldfish for decades. Love My water puppies-

[@gsent56]

Glad to hear that wood prices are dropping. I've been holding out on some projects because the prices have gone so crazy.

[@ATGaric]

Why is the over flow drains glued in? If you need to remove one tank from the system you cannot. Have to cut ABS and you lose one bulkhead. Why not use a elbow down into a T unglued or a flex tube so you could pull one tank out? Or just dont care to remove a tank and 'if' you need to a bulk head and fittings is no big deal? (Also though ABS was a no-go on aquaria?)

[@dancurran8977]

Dean content is the best content!

[@MattsAquatics]

I love fish room videos!

[@AJBAdventures]

Love this racking system, so neat and effective! Looking forward to seeing what you put in them?

[@wobblysauce]

Stuff you pick up over the years

[@highclassbrand]

Super clean set up love it!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@juliaheinritz3264]

Wow, what an amazing project! Dean and Cory...you two are pretty talented. I would need an engineering degree and a plumber's apprenticeship to complete a project such as this.

[@B1gJ4k3]

Does anybody know where to find those fittings that connect the rigid PVC to the flexible water tubing? The one that Dean shows is a push fitting at 10:53? It looks like is screws into the threaded PVC T. Anybody know what to call that or where I'd find one?

[@sewerrat7612]

Looks like 1/4 sharkbite by male

[@fredvanleeuwen9996]

How do you prevent fish from being sucked into the outflow. Many years ago I built a similar system for my discus fish breeding setup. I solved this problem by gluing in a separate small, 5" by 5", compartment where one wall consisted of coarse open cell foam in front of the outflow. All the outflows dumped their water in one sump, the sump had an outflow to the garden. The pump was in the sump. In the separate compartment in each tank I placed an airlift, so that I could also isolate each of the tanks if necessary.

[@madaboutmilitaria3630]

Looking great gents.

[@MTV1995_]

Great. Right before Christmas looks like I’m going to have to replace all my Fluval 3.0’s with coop lights. Corey is genius LOL

[@littsoutdoors0102]

Absolutely love the new setup. Everything you do in your fish room I enjoy and hope to use similar or the same methods in my own future fish room. Your awesome Cory keep it up your channel is extremely influenced my channel. 👍👍👍👍

[@adkgaladkgal1799]

Dean Does such good work!!!

[@justme.9711]

Dear Dean. What is your preferred live food and by how much? Do you prefer live brine shrimp or live blood worms and by how much? Are brine shrimp the ultimate or is it mainly a convenience issue?

[@jimmyjames2022]

It's always fun watching Dean. But I can't believe the effort and cost going into a flimsy cinder block rack. Cleaning up tumbled books or knick-knacks after an earthquake is one thing but grieving a whole bunch of beloved livestock is another. We forget the risk because the most recent quake was 'way' back in 2001, Magnitude 6.8, the Nisqually Quake, which cost $billions in damage. Magnitude 5+ in Puget Sound occur a lot more often, even a tiny 3.5 quake made my office move like I was surfing because of the sandy foundation soils under my building (I'm in BC).

[@TazawaTanks]

These racks actually perform well in earthquakes, as they allow for movement. I live in San Francisco, and my fishroom (built on these rack styles) has been through some shakes. I even made a video to explain how these stand up to shakes. I see your point though. At first glance, one would think that these stands would topple from a quake. In actually, having movement in a structure is preferred (see seismically upgraded structures and bridges).

[@jimmyjames2022]

@@TazawaTanks went and watched that DIY vid, thanks. I worked as a tech in civil engineering, I'm not convinced, but I'll hope for the best.

[@TazawaTanks]

@@jimmyjames2022 I understand. The way that I see it here is that if there is a quake that’s large enough to topple my stands, the house is going to have bigger structural issues and probably won’t be inhabitable. Plus, I keep an extra insurance policy for this reason (broken tanks). 🫣😁

[@jimmyjames2022]

@@TazawaTanks I think your tank setup with a kind of Tetris layout provides cross bracing that dampens the shear movement of any one column of bricks, plus it looks like you mixed 4x8 and 8x8 which won't topple as easily. Whereas Cory's setup uses only 4x8 bricks, has no bracing and he's counting on the weight of tanks and water only. So shear could amplify the sideways shelve movement toppling the bricks.

[@josephgmann3878]

I wish I could work for you guys. I think that would be the funnest most enjoyable job ever.

[@ErikWhyRock]

so cool!!! it's all coming together!!!!

[@CosmicJib]

I plumb for Wolfe in Washington state and prices are outrageous we have to be so frugal with the fittings

[@FluffyBrik]

Anyone else studying the prototype light in the reflection at 15:15??? Totally ready to ditch my old aquasky to give this one a go!! Lookin good :P If you're selling any prototypes, would you bring some to Aquashella Chicago?

[@ShrimpPimp]

😂 love the peep hole to watch the water, hope it’s got a screw cap for when not in us? If the drain system block past that and backs up ittle flood from that hole instead of backing into the tanks.

[@SaarAquatics]

This Videos are the Best!

[@racksofish]

Looking goodd! 🔥 such a cool build

[@emt808]

A few true union ball valves may be a wise addition when it comes to future maintenance/problems that will occur

[@BigDib18]

I’m looking forward to buying a plant light from you. Are you going to make them in a 48” ?

[@AquariumCoop]

Yeah, they will be in the common sizes

[@edcctf]

Ok, does this work by constantly pumping water into the tanks which then overflow and drain? If that is how it works, how do you deal with the chlorine in the water? (I know how I handle it doing a water change all at once, but how would you treat for a continual flow?) Awesome work by the way!!! :)

[@nathanshalduha3932]

I had the same question? Maybe get your water through an RODI system then pump it into the tanks?

[@MissChelle]

Dean is worth his weight in gold….. can I borrow him? ❤️🇦🇺

What's the reasoning for such a large bulkhead? What if you were to use a smaller bulkhead and drill higher on the tank? Love the setup and system, just don't like how the tanks can only be filled halfway.

Please ask Dean if his looking for some extra cash, I'm a plumbing contractor and I'm looking to add another plumber to my crew ! I pay top dollar !!😆

[@mickem4322]

I would probably breed/keep Rainbows or Corydoras(using egg-mops) in the top tanks and keep the fry down below in the lower tanks, for grow-out... Or breed Apistos in top tanks+ put juveniles/fry in the low ones..!!??..or keep Psuedomugils in top tanks,(mops or moss on wood)+ use lower tanks for grow-out.. or perhaps do L-Plecos?--Low tanks are always a great alternative for grow-out..easy to reach into+feed+catch fish !! :D

[@tristanbowden7986]

Instead of doing track lighting, putting in some LED can-lights would last longer and would be cheaper. It’s more labor intensive though because you have to cut holes in the ceiling.

[@ATGaric]

Im sure the track lighting was figuring easy to move and change lights? Can put any of the 1065 LED bulbs avalible.

[@aquaskeptic]

I think I just watched Dean discover an O(1) runtime algorithm for putting handles on lids 😂

having an issue with my wayer change system. the water comming from the first tanks is good but as it goes to the end sometimes there isnt any water at the end..

I’m surprise you don’t use knee-high pantyhose intake valves to use it to collect any of the debris that got stuck in the pipes then all we had to do was pull the patios off the pipe or reversing it was like a little trash bag built onto the pipe just one knee high and a rubber band .
