I just dropped my arm and a leg at home depot tonight and picked up 99% of the plumbing. The plumbing is "hung" (planning phase) for now I just need to glue / silicone it over the next couple of days. I also need to pick up some cinder blocks and some more BRT's.   Whole setup:       Close ups:   R/O & QT       Broodstock :       Rots / Pods / Larvae / Fridge       Thanks for any input and constructive criticism. -Adam   #1 Fishtal Total Posts : 5467 Scores: 37 Reward points : 2908 Joined: 8/31/2006 Location: Waterford, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 585 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, November 19, 2011 8:46 PM (permalink) 0 Wow! I see new stuff that wasn't there yesterday, you've been busy! Everything I saw yesterday looked great, you're creating a nice system.   http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."   #2 Crow Total Posts : 35 Scores: 2 Reward points : 59 Joined: 11/13/2011 Location: Clinton Twp, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Sunday, November 20, 2011 4:28 PM (permalink) 0 Yeah, you have been busy, It looks different then just a few days ago when I was there...   #3 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Sunday, November 20, 2011 11:10 PM (permalink) 0 Thanks Tal!  Most of it is from ideas you've shared with me and then ideas from other peoples builds.   Hoping this turns out and I can start to raise some babies! -Adam   #4 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Monday, November 21, 2011 10:23 PM (permalink) 5 Some updates...   Drains...  They are glued on so no drains can pop off in the middle of the night. Also very easy to replace and clean.   Here are a couple I made:       My dried out & cracked plumbing hands.. owww       In use:         And lastly... an overall shot. Still need to install a few more power strips and power strip timers. Also need to get a big air pump and install an air system with drop down air hoses. I have a 20A circuit dedicated to this grow out. I also plan to hang some type of T5 or T5HO lighting at the ceiling for all of the tanks. The only tanks that will get more lighting will be the larvae tanks which will be taken off as soon as they are on Otohime.       <message edited by CableGuy on Tuesday, November 22, 2011 8:49 AM> -Adam   #5 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Tuesday, November 22, 2011 8:29 AM (permalink) 0 Looks good Adam, I like the drain idea, but I worry that it is too small diameter...?  What do I know though.  I am so jealous you have babies to work with!   #6 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Tuesday, November 22, 2011 8:48 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by EasterEggs Looks good Adam, I like the drain idea, but I worry that it is too small diameter...?  What do I know though.  I am so jealous you have babies to work with! Are you talking about the needle point (mesh)?? If so...   I have 4 different sizes to work with, the two you see being the smallest. As they fish grow I will change out the 90's to the bigger sizes.   It is as easy as:   Turn the flow off Turning the 90 straight down to empty the water below the drain line after the 90 is removed Remove the 90 Replace the 90 or clean and replace the 90 to the proper position Turn flow back on   Let me now if that isnt what you were talking about.     -Adam   #7 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, December 3, 2011 1:20 PM (permalink) 0 Yesterday I added my new skimmer and some K1 media.   The skimmer is an SWC-250 extreme with mesh modded wheels.   The K1 media is in a 5G bucket with a 700GPH power head powering it. I think I'll have to go to a 1000+gph because when I added air it took it down a lot in regard to flow. I'd say the 690GPH PH is pushing about 400 now with air. -Adam   #8 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, December 3, 2011 2:50 PM (permalink) 0 Nice!  I have two SWC skimmers (on my reefs) and really like them.  Good value.  I didn't know you guys got them in the US since the company is Canadian.  That's cool.    In regards to the Kaldnes media, I was just thinking...an old skimmer body would work really well for tumbling the media.  Venturi or Berlin would both do a good job with the air turned down a bit.   Originally Posted by CableGuy Are you talking about the needle point (mesh)??   No, I meant the diameter of the drain pipe that the mesh is attached it.  Small area might clog up fast...?   #9 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, December 3, 2011 3:44 PM (permalink) 0 Good idea on the old skimmer body... got me thinking....   They are 1" drains. -Adam   #10 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, December 3, 2011 5:03 PM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by CableGuy They are 1" drains.   Ya I figured they were.  I just see lots of people using flared drains that I thought that was standard...?   #11 CableGuy Total Posts : 591 Scores: 7 Reward points : 731 Joined: 8/26/2010 Location: Saint Clair Shores, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 635 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Saturday, December 3, 2011 5:49 PM (permalink) 0 1" seems to be plenty for me. They are fed with 3/4" PVC and then those are down to 1/2" barb fittings. Since I've had everything setup, I've changed a total of 3 fittings - 2 for cleaning and one I just upgraded today to a bigger size. -Adam   #12 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Sunday, December 4, 2011 8:25 AM (permalink) 0 Hmm, that's interesting.  It would be nice to not have to use flared drains simply because I am having a hard time finding them!!  HA!   #13 mhowe9 Total Posts : 924 Scores: 2 Reward points : 2479 Joined: 12/15/2008 Location: Auburn Hills, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 120 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Tuesday, March 20, 2012 12:41 PM (permalink) 0 Question for you.  What did you use to glue the needlepoint backing onto the PVC pipe for drains?  Silicone, hot glue gun.  Just curious.   Originally Posted by CableGuy Some updates...

I'm going to build a room around all of this so I need to move things a little smaller - Went from about 50ft/sq. to 20ft/sq..         Kaldnes Media bucket - Powered by air and a power head.  (Just for Tal!)   -Adam   #19 Waggs Total Posts : 11 Scores: 0 Reward points : 59 Joined: 4/29/2012 Location: Sacramento, CA, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Adam's (CableGuy's) breeding "Area" Sunday, April 29, 2012 3:29 PM (permalink) 0 Where did you get the 55 gallon plastic drums?  Also the blue containers with the handles.  Those are nice and could really be handy for a lot of things.  Nice set up.   #20 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon Change Page: 12 > | Showing page 1 of 2, messages 1 to 20 of 36 - powered by ASPPlayground.NET Forum Trial Version
