I use a two, two bulb LED light (white/blue) which runs at 2W, as my pleco don't need much light. BTW I have 3 zebra plecos only, plan to add some cherry shrimps to eat algae and left over food.

Run one extra air line to balance overpressure, but add extra air line closed, T into airline anywhere, then open all tank filters fully Then close down to your chosen bubble rate, now open the Spare air line until it slows one tanks bubble rate "Balanced" or becomes fully open "still over pressured" if filters are good and spare line is fully open then add another spare air line till it does, this will also extend the Diaphragm life, hope all is good, outstanding system great effort !

@DuzzyDobbin Год назад

One of the best auto water changers I’ve seen, I’m not sure how it would go for me with plants.

@troublingleaf 6 месяцев назад

You want one addition, a fine mesh filter sock in the drainage. This would need to be easily replaceable. Or just ditch the water changes like I have. I only change water if there's a problem, or if I'm raising fry. Otherwise I only top up evaporated water, and my tanks have never been healthier.

@danielluo6499 6 месяцев назад

very nice setup, one thing i will recommend is if you want something affordable and industrial quality, try to look into pneumatic component, like SMC or festo or aitTag, etc they are built for pneumatic systems in manufacturing, but the majority of their hose, valves, regulator can be used for water as well you can buy an air regulator and put it in the outlet of your air pump, it should help with the issue :)

@FoisyAquatics 6 месяцев назад

Thank you!

@simpceferglenparacale7988 2 года назад

With regards to relieving pressure from your air pump. You could use a T connection where yhe inflow and outflow of air is the 2 adjacent end and the middle connection is the pressure reliever. Add a control valve on the reliever to control how much pressure is going into the main line going to the tanks and the excess air flow will be exhausted out the reliever end. This way you would'nt damage the air pump.

@TaderSamich Год назад

If your air pump is above your top water level, you don't need the valves. Those are just a failsafe incase of power outage so water doesn't siphon down the line. Water can't siphon uphill. Great build!

@tr3x43 3 месяца назад

Oh yeah definitely some money in the Plecos haha

@cichlidrich6589 2 года назад

This is the way to go for sure, great setup buddy. The 75% water change weekly is great but personally id do 50% and with your double sponges you wouldnt notice a difference imo, i think this would help you because when breeding you want to trigger them to spawn. So in spawning periods you would do the 75% change instead of the 50%. New subb here great channel

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

Thanks! And ya you are probably right about the water changes, though with the clogged emitters I have now, they are probably getting less than 50% weekly on some tanks. I'll likely tweak the run times when I swap out the emitters

@K7vive 2 года назад

@bigmuddy4229 2 года назад

What an inspiration for my growing pleco breeding project! Thank you for sharing so much of how you built this! Does the filter inline from your water supply take out chlorine and chloramine? I’m on public water with chloramine and have thought auto water changes were something I’d never be able to do.

@finvincent303 2 года назад

I believe that’s a hma filter which strips certain heavy metals and it gets rid of chlorine and chloramknes

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

I know it removes chlorine, though I'm not sure on chloramine as my town thankfully doesn't use chloramine

@mrklean93 Год назад

I'm late to this video release and I haven't looked at your other videos, but your comment on drip emitters clogging even w/ filtered water makes me first think that it's not the incoming water causing the issue. My brain first goes to when the emitters are shut off, the water is freely able to drain out of them. This allows air into the line and allows evaporation inside the emitter. This evaporation is going to leave behind efflorescence inside the emitter and is likely causing the clogging. I'd extend the output clear line and form a drip loop to allow a trap of water to keep the emitter wet at all times.

@FoisyAquatics Год назад

That completely makes sense, though I must say that the new non-clog drip emitters have been going strong with no issues!

@Saltlydog4 2 года назад

Hi! love the video. quick question: how do you know when to change the canisters out on your inline 3-canister filter?

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

Good question - and I actually don't have an accurate answer haha! I'm just trying to do it once a year.

@Tad3r 2 года назад

Also for extra protection against a failed valve you can install two irrigation valves in line and wire the first one into the pump connector in your controller and it will act as a double block. If either valve fails open there's always the other one to stop the flow. It will give you more piece of mind.

@PazLeBon 2 года назад

gets less simple by the hour :)

@woltergrant 2 года назад

32:17 hope you consider continuing to explore your drift wood art, taking it to the next level. I also really liked the center tank and think that one is perfect. Maybe start with the bottom row, using three larger, bold, intricate pieces, instead of the three mini ones or more for a mini wood scape in the center of the tank with several smaller pieces. I get they are breeding tanks and you want minimal inclusions to work around especially in the fry tanks. I still think it could be done in a way that is functional like that center tank while adding just a bit more aesthetic, pop, and flare to the nice plain and minimalist look of the rack. Plus plecos will appreciate it more than any other(:

@northaquatics 2 года назад

Nice video Like the cloth to tide things How long has there been fish in this rack? If ick shows up or a heater fails Consider a mixing valve They are fairly cheap Not much extra pluming Expensive pleco’s you have and albinos You should highly consider it Just my 2 cents and been using auto water changes systems for a few years now

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

The rack has been up and running for close to 2 years now. Ick and disease are mitigated by following a good quarantine routine with new arrivals. I run wi-fi temperature controllers on all the tanks with expensive fish. I initially thought about using a mixing valve, but I have a combination boiler and didn't want it kicking on to make hot water for every water change. The drip system adds the cold water so slow and in such small increments throughout the day that it does not affect the temperature of the tanks more than a degree or two anyways.

@BuckWezr 2 года назад

Def not a hustle; just 1 obsessed hobbyist to another:I would be MORE than happy to help you save a ton on temp control (thermostats) for those preset heaters, my man. I've built quite a few of them the past 2 years, and they've been working out *great*. Can do 12v, 110v or 220v, zero problem. Hit me up, if interested.

@gabrielrivas6281 4 месяца назад

@mirali4467 2 года назад

If you haven’t already corrected the issue, place a Y-splitter on the main outlet of your air pump. One leading to the aquariums and the other to an insulated closet (any place to prevent air noise from bothering you) then place a valve controller at this end, opening it to release the desired amount of air pressure. That machine can probably handle up to 30 tanks with ease A side note: keep up with the updates brother… I dig your setup. Excited to see how you develop it

@nextisnik 2 года назад

Hey, really nice Setup! How did the new Non-Clog Drip Emitters work out?

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

@mpezzi Год назад

Maybe your drip emitters are slow because you lose some water pressure when you gain height from the pressure regulator. Also longer tubes will reduce some of the pressure.

@firematt422 4 месяца назад

Just a thought, but if you have one 1/4" tube feeding nine 1/4" tubes, you're not going to get full flow out of all nine tubes. I would try putting the nine tubes directly into the larger diameter PVC as your manifold instead of using the 1/4" tube for the manifold.

@vinceolshove1499 2 года назад

What a great set-up and I am very jealous. On your water change, the true math says 1 gallon of water twice a day is 67% water change per week, but there is little chance 5% of the fresh water goes out so you are well above 70%. You have a great system, but I am extremely worried about running your drip on a "not meant for pressure' PVC system. High pressure, especially only 3 feet onto your main, should not be plumbed with PVC. Copper or blue plastic (I hate it) is code and in theory safe. I am afraid your system may blow up and you will end up with an indoor pool in your basement. PVC is not meant for that kind of pressure.

@FoisyAquatics 2 года назад

Thank you for the words of wisdom, this is something I am definitely going to need to work on!

@carlreichelt8724 Год назад

Actually schedule 40 is rated for well over the pressure it is receiving..only difference is it is not to be used for hot water applications..for this breaks down the polyvinyl chloride more rapidly then the chlorinated polyvinyl chloride would..which in turn would need to use cpvc if exceeding 140° f..cpvc also is more resisting to harsher chemicals..but also have noticed cpvc eventually becomes more brittle over time then pvc does
