I wish I had an extra bathroom to dedicate entirely to my fish. They have already taken over the one bathroom I have in my house. lol I love this betta rack system and can't wait to see what you do to make improvements on the new one. I'm going to be building one soon, myself. I will use yours as a blueprint but may make some changes here and there. I really need something efficient and less labor-intensive because I deal with chronic pain, but get a great deal of joy from my hobby, and want to continue to enjoy my little fishies. =^.^=

You mentioned looking for nesting containers. Have you looked at the clear containers used in commercial kitchens? They are square come in different sizes and have measurements printed on them. They are very sturdy and last forever. Amazon has them. Rubbermaid makes them. I'm glad you're doing videos again!

Outstabding video. Cannot wait for the new and improved.

girl, i can't tell you how much i love your setups. my fish room was so much of a mess, it still is but i made a big change to it, the last two days ( resting today cause i'm dead lol ) were spent moving stuff around, and re planting/scaping a bunch of tanks, cleaning, ect. had to drain all the tanks ( 40 gallon, 30, 20, two 10s, four 5.5s ) and i added a 26 bow front that i had wasting away in my closet with just a java fern in it lol its SO much better, like i can barely believe its the same tiny space, it looks so much more efficient and big now. its nothing awesome like your room, no special barracks system or anything, but i'm happy with the result, even if its still in progress. the room is shared so its pretty cramped but making it work somehow :P a lot of the plants i had in my other tanks got pretty big ( praise baby jesus for fluval stratum xD ) so i split them up and replanted, and finally made us of my dragon stone / Ouko Stone i bought online a while back. I have a bunch more plants coming in the mail Monday or Tuesday, so i'm excited for those! also got some drift wood from the river near me earlier in the day before starting the fish room and chola wood in my plant order. want to add some neocaridina shrimp to that 26 once the plants grow in a bit more, maybe some chili rasboras and swap around the fish currently in there with others in my other tanks. If i ever get my own space, i will definitely do a betta barracks system like what you've done, certainly a good video for someone like me to have handy, doing them by hand is such a chore, and i'm about to start jarring my koi plakat babies, its somewhere around 150 babies, i still have like 50 male double tails and a couple halfmoons to move haha I honestly really wanna go hard core with breeding, and try aliens, not enough time to do spawns one by one. Sadly the likelihood i'll ever be able to do that is pretty slim. If I was able to get my own trailer, i probably could, the one i'm renting a room in now has water included in the pad rent so its definitely ideal for betta breeding lmao but because this isn't my place, and i don't pay the bills i'm at my limit for tanks. maybe one day i'll be able to upgrade!

@@SimplyBetta oh yes it definitely does! way easier to be motivated to do changes with a better setup. Almost done finally haha, just finishing up bit by bit now. my package showed up early today too, so i got all my plants! was missing a net tho, and they gave me flourish tabs instead of root tabs, and they have copper so don't really want to use them since i plan on getting snails and shrimp, they said they'd send out my missing items Monday tho which is good. i didn't know " tissue culture " plants came in a gel base, it was so gross lmao. I also just jarred 38 males ( gotta get more of my jars out of storage ) And yeah, It's a lot of work, but its rewarding work, and it gets me off my butt since the work i do is digital art here at home. so if i could have the setup to do more, efficiently, i don't think it would be as much of a burden. i'm just glad i didn't get 550+ again like i did with my DT spawn, almost grateful i had to cull so many from spinal deformities from that one lol.. i tend to get around 100-200 average, i don't usually get more or less than that.

This is incredibly cool, and a brilliant piece of engineering! I particularly like how you did the catchment pipes, so you could just shut off the valve to a jar and easily lift it right out if you needed access to it. So convenient! Did you have to spend any time fine-tuning the power/flow-rate of the pump to make sure you had enough water pressure all the way up the rack to keep everything flowing, or to avoid putting too *much* water pressure through those valves and airline tubing, or overflowing the catchment PVC pipes? Or was the design super forgiving in terms of the flow-rate and valve settings?

@SimplyBetta

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, I'm glad you like it! When I was looking at pumps I made sure to choose a pump that had enough power to pump water up to the top shelf - pumps have this info, it's called the "head" or something. I chose one that could do 9ft vertical (or so). I chose a good one because I never had a problem with too much water pressure!

I want to rescue a beta but I can’t use a heater because I live in Florida & my tanks are all at 80* almost constantly (we have AC but we don’t go crazy lol) is that ok for a betta? Also, all my fish will eat is tetra-min flakes (I’ve even bought frozen brine shrimp & frozen worms & many other different foods but they won’t touch it!) even my shrimp prefer tetra min to the Shrimp King food I spent $18 & they refused to touch the Hikari shrimp food, either lol Thanks in advance for answering my 2 questions ❤️
