Just got recommended this old video but its still super well done, cory always has been good at youtube.

Finally... After searching and searching. The one video that goes over Betta Barracks! Thanks for the effort put into this! I'm thinking about going small time and breeding some interesting (at least to me) Bettas. I couldn't find anything online until now!

I love these old videos, and I’m so happy that you and Dean started doing this style video again.

Hy indonesian betta fish lover here, Thank you soooo much for the great idea, this video really help me to build my new betta rack,

I love how dirt simple this is, how cheaply this could be built. I'm cringing at the idea of wild type bettas hopping right out of those open cups. But this definitely gives me some ideas.

hey guys, if you are looking to upgrade to a bigger tank or getting extra tanks; head out to your local petco right now. They are having their $1 a gallon sale on their 10, 20, 29, 40 and 55 tanks until the 23rd.

Thats pretty nifty. I did the same cups but used all irrigation pips and no pvc. It fits 150 and waters all at the same time with a 110gallon sump. The 420 gallon pump didnt work for the first 60 cups so we switched to a 3200 gallon and use it as a daily flush and water change. Thanks for the vids!!

Sir when you drill the hole for the valve did you put some silicon protection for water leaks?

So smart , thank you

Can you somehow combine this with the cinder block aquarium stands you've shown us in other videos and 5 gallon tanks? I think it would be really cool to set up a wall of 5 gallon betta tanks and connect them all to a sump like you did here.

EXCELLENT!

Great vid Cory! I'm wondering if a larger drip system would suffer from unequal pressures along the drip line on each level, making it difficult to dial in each driper without changing the drips of the others. If that's the case, do you think the performance would improve if you went to a loop system like you would an airline?

@AquariumCoop

8 жыл бұрын

+Bob Luckey Yeah a loop would be better for a larger system. Typically I find it's the strength of the pump that determines if I'll have problems or not.

you could set this up in your store for a fish of the week customers could pull and bring up to counter.

What would you recommend for the sump filtration? I have a 20 gallon tank and my system is up and running. Looking of ra cost effective DIY filtration system that is effective. Thanks yet again Cory!

Ik this is old, but if I want to do a betta rack for long term keeping would it be the same idea?

I like how you moved after this to keeping betta in your community tanks. I saw a very similar set-up to this one in Denny's though, and it impressed me--their betta were much happier and in better shape than the PetXX ones. Some locals sharing ideas, eh? :D

Julia infamous bettas girl used plastic wrap

Hi, did you post a link to those drip valves? Id like to know exactly which u used.

I built a large betta rack awhile ago, using the same principles. Main issue I ran into was that the containers became dirty and it can be quite a chore to wipe down 60+ jars. My containers were a bit larger and semi-permanent so simply swapping them out for new ones wasn't really an option. What I like about yours is that you could probably throw away the cups and replace them once every few weeks instead of having to clean them. Question: Lamont and you both feed live blackworms. What is your source for those? No issues with disease? I know some people are afraid to use them.

@AquariumCoop

8 жыл бұрын

+Iowa Discus The goal is that the containers are removable. I'm thinking I could swap the container every time I move the betta to the store or sell it at the store. Put the used container into a bucket of bleach lets says, then rinse it the next day. I'd have to see how that system works. As to the black worms. I bring them in from wholesalers. We go through 10+ pounds every week at the store. I find that all foods have problems with disease. Even flake food spoils. Some parasites etc make it through frozen foods. Sometimes frozen foods get thawed in transit and refroze which fouls them. Even live daphnia if it's from outside has parasites etc. I think you have to weigh the benefits vs the risk. Live black worms really help put weight on fish and spawn them. You could also get some issues. But if you can spawn a fish with live black worms, or not using "safe foods" really only live black worms is accomplishing the goal.

@iowadiscus4187

8 жыл бұрын

+Aquarium Co-Op Agreed, though I think one can minimize the risks with most other packaged food whereas how do you sterilize a living creature? Where would you recommend buying live blackworms from? Do your wholesalers sell to small-time hobbyists?

@AquariumCoop

8 жыл бұрын

No, wholesalers only sell to retail stores typically. If I could get the same nutritional profile and the fact that it wouldn't foul the tank from a freeze dried or frozen I'd use them. But I can't so I use live for a few different species. Even shrimp love the live worms.

Why did you discontinue this system...looks good. I think Greg Jones just built a similar system for fry... :)

Nice video. On the green plastic valves, any issues with durability? I had to swap them out from an air system I had years ago, they didn't seem to hold up like the metal ones. Also, what's in the sump besides water? In a fry-raising system I had, I put in a UGF plate with a few mesh bags of ammo chips and ammo carb just to keep the ammonia at zero; fry didn't like even the slightest ammonia and the full bio cycle wasn't needed due to frequent water change.

@AquariumCoop

+igotadose For the valves, I've been using them 10+ years in air systems. However I don't have that much time using with water so not sure on that. I think if you want to upgrade the metal valves are a nice upgrade but ups the cost by quite a bit on this project.

hi nice video but im just wondering about fish waste in the bottom of tank container...I know that water always flow in this system but how u clean fish waste or pallet that sink to the bottom of fish container?

Pretty cool system. Only problem i see is if your main tank crashes ,then all your bettas could crash at the same time too. Its definitely cool though, how often would you have to check or change main water tank.

@AquariumCoop

Definitely pluses and minuses to this system, for instance all disease is shared as well. I ended up taking this system down but water wasn't too much of an issue. Small water chance once a week.

+Aquarium Co-Op well since the valves are for air lines why not hook an air to the valve run into the lids and add air holes to the lids. water and air still get circulate. May have to raise the filler pvc a bit but it would be safer i think. IMO Just my thoughts

what water pump are you using ?

As a quarantine system, I feel like it wouldn't work well unless you have a different rack system set up for each new shipment....since the water is recycle from all the containers..correct? Or did I miss something...I tend to drift off sometimes..lol

+heatherwanderer777 Well yes, you'd move all the bettas out between shipments etc. That being said bettas are rarely ever sick. The biggest problem they suffer from is velvet which you can med them for when they come in. Really it's not different then bringing in a bag of 300 cardinal tetras. Treat them then move them out to sell them and bring in the next batch.

Not that great those gutters are great for leaking, I know the argument is the water runs out of them but eventually they will leak they all do so yeah you be way better off with PVC instead of gutters so yeah
