Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
Wes, thats the plan too.. Gathering together one by one. Initial setup is time consuming for sure, small small things piling up all the time.

Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
Just googling it, whether it helps removing the moisture as dehumidifier does? And how challenging to fit in a room?

Brandon, just got the float switch and need to fix it. It can be bit stress free while filling the barrel. I used to bother my wife whenever i flood the floor, hope she will be happy :)

Hope the pictures let you see enough to have an idea about what to do. It's a load off your mind knowing that you're not going to flood the house once it's in and working. Especially when the wife is happier!

Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
Nice... Post some pictures of them on the rack when it's all installed and running.... I might pickup another 29 gallon for one more breeding pair to go in...
Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
Had a busy last couple of weeks, so the installation are very slow. Why are you opting for 29G instead of 20G? Petco has the 1$ per gallon sale going on now..

I'm planning on using the 29 gallon so I can section 1/4 of the tank with poret foam. That 1/4 section of the tank will be where I put the heater, sponge filter, UV, and AC70 running full blast without causing lots of water flow in the breeding section, while still getting the water filter. Also fry will have easier time attaching to the parents without all other things in the breeding section. I don't know if this will work but it's just something I want to try and see if it will work as well as I think it will.. ;)
Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
New S attempts are always good to know and good luck on it.. But the poop from the parents on the other side still needs the manual cleaning right and whether the wrigglers are big enough compared to pores in the poret foam? Still, moving heater/uv/sponge filter gives clean spawning site..

You are right. The feces will still be there and that's why I plan to clean that section normally as I always do. The idea is to have full filtration going on the tank without creating a lot of water current in the breeding/spawning section. I actually have this setup in my 20H with no issue. Fry had easier time to attached and I can move the poret foam to limit the amount of space for the free swimmer to find the parents. I end up doing this because my female continues to eat the fry. I was only able to save 8 fry that is currently attached to the male for a week now, while the female is on the other side.
Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
What's the brand of those tanks and are you going to drill them? Let me know because I plan to drill my 55's but I wasn't sure about tempered walls.

Re: Allwin's Fish Room!!!
Same as mine. I've heard they can be drilled if plans change.
