Water Changing How I Change the Water in my 200 Aquariums New Water Change System for the Fish Room 

Its taken forever to get this system going and to get all the kinks out. Finally made the video. Hope you all like!

Genius you’re an absolute genius!! Lol but for real that is a great system! I’ve noticed that people who run automatic water changing systems tend to miss a lot more of what their fish are doing. With your system it forces you to look inside your tank and watch their behaviour. I was recently at a friends house who has an automatic drip system and when I was looking in his tanks I noticed that his super red‘s breeding tank had a dead fish in there and it looked like it had been dead for several days maybe even over a week. When I brought it to his attention he seemed to be very upset it turns out that was his only super red male. Had he had a system where he had to look in every tank he may have noticed that sick fish before he passed. Like with everything there are pros and cons. Love the content Lucas keep it coming✌️

Man Lucas you must have a mile of pipe running through your house and fish room lol. That is a great time saver and convenient way to control each fishes water requirements. Lucky

Support what you are doing Lucas! Keep it going!

Great system. Thanks for your video. I am old school and run all my tanks with undergravel filters. Under the filter I have a network of pvc tubes with multiple holes. The pvc tubes are then connected to an upspout that I connect to my drainage tubing. So when I do a drainage of my tanks the water is dragged through the gravel and undergravel filter and then out. Keep up the great work. I am up to 12 tanks (took me almost 50 years) but I am still at it but very envious of your set up.

Wow! I am simply amazed at how you figured that all out! Great job!

You’ve got an amazing system Lucas! Love it 😍 keep up the awesome vids!

Definitely worth the wait! You got the skilz for sure - true renaissance man

Runs Out to the pump house, gives well big ole hug.

I'm so jealous of how quickly you drained the water!! I'm very lucky, my city tap water has a TDS of 9 straight out of the tap. Kh Gh both 1 ph sits about 7.4. That metal in your water is scary, glad you filter it!

Impressive. You might consider putting the drain water bucket on a wheeled cart; a piece of plywood with 4 wheel on it.

Incredible man. That is awesome, your my favorite fish you tuber 🖒

Tempature control and blending perameters is awesome!! You certainly spent that summer making it right!! I remember missing you that summer , but as we can see it was worth it!! 👍☑

Wow you did a kick ass job setting that up and a ton of hard work! Pretty cool and all your tanks are looking great your videos are ones I watch and like thanks..

This is a very upscale auto water change system. More than what I’ll need but amazing equipment and setup 👍🏾

Nice job excellent job in fact u just have me ideas for my water change system I read thinking of just running a line to each tank just like u did but u finalized my plans seeing this great job when i'm finished kind I will give u a shot out

An awesome video, Thanks Lucas... very informational and well explained. It must have cost you a fortune for all the pipes and fittings, glad you did most of it.. i'd hate to be a plumber walking into your house with all the plumbing running through your house.... haha..

I just bought a 50GPD system today, it feels very inadequate after seeing this beast of a system haha You have such an awesome setup!

Awesome set up.

Really nice plumbing work who ever did it did an excellent job pretty much like a O.R. Setup . Nice 👍

Good day LRB -- where did you get the screen strainers? 23:07 Minute mark. You did a great job and I can't believe you have all different types of water.

For changing water in tanks with tiny fry, I use an old school net breeder with some foam around the top so it will float high. Then, just stick the end of the hose in the floating net breeder and I don't have to scare fry away.

Great to know you... I should watch more of your older vids.

Awesome setup Lucas! :)

I loved this vid and your others. You've really taught me a lot. It's made me want to get back into aquariums again. Thank you.

Thats a pretty cool system Lucas....seems very user friendly :)

So impressed..great system!

After all that wrk, you deserve a tropical vacation

I've started playing playlists of yours in the background silently at all times with ads enabled. I hope it helps!

Very cool video brother thank you for sharing

if you remineralize the soft water for some tanks, by putting Calcium (GH+) back in, is that not more or less the same as using your "lime" harder water ?

Thanks for showing this!!

Awesome setup brother!!

Cool system!

You take it to the next level. Too much for my needs but very impressive. 👍

What? No song intro? Looks awesome Lucas!

awesome system, just got a little fuzzy on the line up, it seems you first run the water through a pre filter, then through a carbon chamber, then a water heater(white wall heater), then it goes back to yet another carbon chamber then through another heater then into your RO system? or do you actually have 2 systems?

Great system!

My Guppies love Missouri hard water but the calcium and limescale is challenge for sure.

How has this system held up for you over the years I am planning my purchase from aqua fx. I don't want a taker storage tank but I like how fast you can make rodi water

Can anyone tell me what the fish featured at the end of the video is? Multi-coloured with the black line going down the middle? Thanks~

One thing to watch for with the ball valves set at half open is water erosion of the edge of the ball. It is fine for lowering flow but if time comes to shut it off completely there might be part of the ball gone to close off water flow entirely.

I must be missing something lol ! How are you priming the suction out ? Thanks

looks great what model RO unit and where from? where do you get those stainless steel mesh you use for the outflow to disperse it?

One man, 200 planted tanks, that must be some kind of a record, automatic waterchange system or not. R.E.S.P.E.C.T Loved the "I don't like saying things are impossible but sometimes things just aren't doable" Hahaha

Your'e city water frightens me lol

The plants you keep amaze me I have terrible water 8.1 PH 90 tds and low gh and kh it takes gh booster tons of ferts and something to buffer the ph to get anything to do much

Looks great!! Totally jealous lol

What would you say is the most fun aspect of the room? Design work, construction implementation, or the actual fish keeping? I find the different life support systems people come up with pretty interesting.

That metal in your filter is scary. I’d be interested in knowing what it is, are you going to have it tested? Thank you for another great video. Always enjoy your content.

Great video! Could you make an in depth video on how to breed killifish?

Hey Lucas quick question. On my 90 gallon clown loach tank my TDS shot up from 280 to 800+ due to tap water over last few months. I got an RO unit and my question is can I just do what u did and add the RO directly into tank without mineralization to bring my water to more manageable tds parameter??

Thank you

Good job

16:48 Auto water change when you get your barn fish room y'say? : )

do you use co2 in any of your tanks? thanks again for the great content.

That's a lot of pipe. I don't know how you know which is which. Thank you for showing us. That metal is weird.

How many gallons are the carbon towers good for? When do you have to change them?

She put the lime in the coconut, she drank 'em bot' up

I messaged Aqua FX and I'm having them help me get cool like you 😎 I have 64 tanks a total of 1,200 gallons which unit would you recommend for me if I don't want to use a storage tank? I have city water with 350-450 tds. In Utah it's really hard salty calcium water. I don't think I have chloramine but I'm scared 1 day they will add it for some reason I don't know.

Hey Lucas 😊 can you link me to that carbon blaster please?

Where do you get those mesh intakes? Do you sell them?

Great video Lucas, I really enjoyed your new system,well thought out and your tanks look amazing, fish look super healthy too😍❤️😍

Am I misunderstanding something, or did you say that you're filling your drinking water bottles with RO/DI water? Around 11:55

hey lucas, what happens when you mix bloody marys with painted fire reds?

What micron rating is the prefilter your using??

Show us your ponds

Heck yea dude

You are an absolute genius LRB....like mad scientist genius! Just amazing all that you do for the hobby. Thanks

OMG!!!!!!!!

I do the same..move the hose so the dingy fish stay away

One of the nicest parts must be not moving equipment , fear of cross contamination

Impressive system! Have you ever thought about ways to save the dirty water and clean it up for reuse? I’m trying to puzzle through it for my room, but really haven’t come up with anything viable. Just hate to see all the water go down the drain. Once summer gets here I can pump it out to my outside plants, etc.

Who stays in the guest bedroom? Samantha Fish, maybe?

Panning for gold?

EPIC

No such thing as too many valves. Shoutout to shutoffs! Shower control valve.

You should have it checked because your little one drinks that water

You should not be drinking that filtered water, it’s missing essential trace elements required by the human body.
