Drilled my tank after watching a few videos on it felt comfortable, ordered a diamond hole saw from amazon to my specific detentions went outside took a water hose on the top panel and from inside with a sprinkler head to spray a wide area. Drilled it in 5 minuets. My tip is I can’t exaggerate this enough, let the drills weight do the work, you hold it straight after getting the cut started and hold the button, easy

@CrowntailHalfmoon5 жыл бұрын
Awesome video How do you prepare water to make fish safe and dane paramaters before using in tanks? How often do you change water in tanks and growouts? Can you explain more with the type of pump and how you select them on specifics of water needed to be circulate and how you select bulk heads? Also could u do s more indepth video of the sump build and how you utilize float valves to refill sump? How do u prevent flooding if electricity is cut off? Where do the excess water go from sump?
@JackWattleyDiscus5 жыл бұрын
We store filtered water in two 550 gallon holding tanks. Our submersible pump in the grow out section is rated for 2000gph it has 12 20 gallon tanks.
@JackWattleyDiscus5 жыл бұрын
If the electric goes the wet dry underneath has an overflow drain which goes into our drain. Once the electric comes back the system turns on and the float replaces the water that went out.

@JackWattleyDiscus5 жыл бұрын
1.5" check valve doesn't allow water to return and whatever excess water builds up there is an 1.5" overflow bulkhead that permits the water to escape down the drain. Once power is returned the float valve underneath compensates for any water that was discharged and therefore level is always kept.

How do you ensure that every Tank gets enough fresh filtered Water? there is only 1 Tube with an opening over each Tank but the water flow gets less for every foot it travels so basically the first tank would get the most amount of water and the last one the least, so how do you ensure that the last tank gets enough fresh filtered water? greetings from germany btw love your vids :)

I got Questions though, so basically that is a sum water system for 78 tanks right? let's say what if one of the tanks/fish got parasites or any diseases that can spread. is it gonna spread to all 78 tanks? or you had a spesific treatment to prevent that? thank you
@JackWattleyDiscus5 жыл бұрын
The tanks would become contaminated by doing water changes anyway. Unless you want to have a separate hose for each tank. The way we prevent is by doing water changes daily. There is a 75 watt UV sterilizer and we also treat weekly with Potassium Permanganate to maintain a low bacteria level.

The only glass aquariums I've ever seen commercially available have a pane of tempered glass for the bottom panel and you absolutely cannot drill tempered glass. Most glass aquariums I've seen have to be drilled from the back or side(s). The tanks you showed were all drilled through the bottom. Did you construct your own aquariums?

@@JackWattleyDiscus Wow. Having a bad day? The tone of your reply was a little less than professional and I don't understand why. I've made no assumptions at all. I see what look like glass tanks with drilled bottoms in your video. All commercially available glass tanks I've seen are tempered on bottom. Even the small ones. I've had quite a few and I've drilled my share as well. Not "hundreds" but I'm no novice. Can you tell me where you get your non-tempered bottom tanks? Who makes them? I'm genuinely interested because I'd much rather drill the bottom too. Do you know of other sizes that don't have tempered bottoms? Larger if possible? I appreciate any information you might have. I've even called manufacturers looking for them. I'm just asking for some info. That's all. I promise.
