Hey Shrimp Keepers,
Today, we are looking at my 45 tank central system racks. The fish room tour will go over how I utilize my waste RO/DI water to use for fish and plants. My aquarium rack and fish room operates off of an automatic water change, lighting system which operates off a central timer and an overflow system that does not require drilled tanks. The over flow system also will never lose it's siphon.
Fist off, my planted tank fish room was created to utilize my waste RO water or reverse osmosis water. The RO waste water is full of minerals that won't pass through the RO unit and therefore, it is great for pants. The water automatically passes through my system and overflows out doing an automatic water change.
To over flow the water out of each system of 9 aquariums, I use a PVC overflow that is homemade. This overflow is build simply and cost effective. I explain how to build the PVC overflows that don't require drilling in the video. These are great for people that don't want to drill tanks or buy the expensive diamond drill bit.
The next part of this rack is how it all works. The aquarium rack is 4 aquariums on the top tier, 4 on the middle tier and one large pond on the bottom that is used as the sump. The top tanks receive water from the bottom pond and each tank overflows to the tank directly below it. Then, the middle tier aquariums overflow down into the pond. I use no filtration on these system. I just use plants and adequate water changes.
Next, I use LED planted lights from Fluval aquatics. These lights are dimmable and are perfect for a planted tank system. I wired these lights off a central timer and then use the dimming feature to prevent too much light on low light plants. It is a great system and you will not have to worry about turning the lights on and off.

That's an awesome fish room!!
Should put a screen or mesh bag on your overflow pipes. So the snails and lil fishies don't get stuck inside. Build up may occur, but it should be thin and you could easily wipe it off.
Little float for the heaters is a brilliant idea!
Aquaponics style !!
That heater idea is super boss!
Habrosus Cory Cats, Dwarf Cichlids and Livebearers. Thanks for the upload!
Sweet setup man. Really like the heater idea, good work.
thanks for the info on your system, going to try it for the fish rack in my room. It's time to start building!
Fantastic idea making use of you waste, Great set up!!
Awesome setup.. Thanks for sharing man
GFCI-- Ground Fault Circuit Interupter. When wired correctly one GFCI receptacle can protect up to 11 other receptacles down the circuit from it. GFIC's have a Line input wires coming from your source and a load output where the rest of the receptacles get wired from.
Congrats!!!
Very nice set up👍
very nice man setup. Just subscribed as well thanks for sharing
hope you guys are having a great honeymoon!! as far as live bearers go... fancy guppies of various varieties; delta tail types in particular. have a good one.
That's a great setup, would love to have a system like that! 😊
love moss so much
hell yeah! looks like you got it under control... it would be sweet if you had a 220 planted !!!
Would you mind sharing what your typical parameters are for the all of these tanks using the RO waste water? I have been trying to figure out how to prevent it from going straight down the drain, and you have the perfect solution, but it seems like it would be way too hard for most fish. my water before RO is PH 8.6 (can't remember GH and KH off the top of my head) or so. after RO it is around 6.6 with a GH and KH about 2 each.
Awesome like your Fish Room..:p
Can u tell me how much power pump is thr to put the water to top
Rad set up bro! Maybe stick a piece of filtration foam inside your intake pipe on the inside of the tank so them snails can't sneak up there? Just a thought, overall super awesome setup! Cheers!
I would like to see wild Endlers and "Boraras Brigittae"
celestial pearl danios , emerald rasboras , mosquito rasbora , different type of tetras wud be a good choice of fish
Awesome system. And there are no any air pumps in any of the tanks? So is it true that any fish can live without aeration if the water is clean and there are some plants in a tank? Can barbs and tetras live with no air pump? Or rainbow fish?
people seem to be addicted to water changes i was thinking of a pvc system like this were u can use one or how many ever pumps to how many ever 55 gal drums and booster drums to run it like a canister system this comes closest to what i was thinking...drilling holes is an option but still doing research on it...
maybe it would be cool to combine shrimps with non aggressive fish, I would like to try it but I don't know kinds are looking good and go well with shrimps
Flip Aquatics - LupDiesel, how did you calculate that the wooden beam is enough for all aquariums weight? If i calculate right, there are 400 kg for each section with 4 tanks? So total is 4000 ks, cuz i saw 10 section per 4 tanks each. What is a thickness of the beam? I want t do my rack from 40x40 mm beam for 1400 kilo, but not sure that this is enough. i want to make diagonal bars to strenghten.
So is there a lot of chlorine or no
GFCI = ground fault circuit interrupter
So depending on how much input flow you get it’s about how much overflow you get?
I don't understand the r/o water part. if your using r/o for water changes and the waste water as a top off. that's just tap water. Why even bother with the r/o system? you said you still use dechlorinator.
how about a wide variety of Apistogramma? always the same couple types available when theirs tons of species out there.
Sweet setup I’m looking to make my Cichlid room similar to yours with same concept. I love that your using the waste water for aquatic plants but I want to use it in my garden. Can I email you with questions ? And how do I go about doing that ?
How many gallons are those black Rubbermaids? Also where did you get them?
that's good
other than that awesome setup
Aren't you worried about cross contamination if the pond fish develop disease?
How many gallons are those tanks

This is genius. I want that tubs for breeding tetras, they're kinda expensive here, about 20 bucks. Cant afford

oh wow that's expensive! where are you from?
if you drilled the bottoms , you could eliminate 80% of that ugly piping and 100% of the risk of flooding .
if you lose power your ponds will flood.. and top tanks will drain all the way down to the bottom of your siphon. . correct me if ive seen something wrong and am misunderstanding your setup

SXS Trails the T piece at the top prevents a siphone so it is essentially an overflow that is set by the heigt of the T even though it takes water from half way down the tank

insane
This is super. Using his mind not his wallet.
Great ?! But occupy large space
Your biggest fear will be when one tank gets infected and outflow to bottom tank and further spread to all tank by central system
