    Default planning start my breeding tanks need advice

    hi guys so i finally collect enough tanks for a small simple breeding room. so far
    1)40g
    1)30g
    1)20g

    and (1) fry raising 50g
    and (1) 100g

    gonna be using center blocks home depot and 2x4 stands can you guys give me advice in ways i can tweek it up a bit.
    the breeding tanks will be stack and was thinking of running 100g at the very top to use as w/c (aged water) some what drip system back into tanks after w/c.
    age water, over filtration is nvr enough.

    Here is a post provided by Eddie regarding building your stand. It is a very good link that might help.

    Wish I could be more helpful on the drip system but try using Google for some ideas.

    Good luck.

    have you had any luck?
    I am setting up 12 tanks, 6 32 gallon, 2 50 gallon, 2 65 gallon. I plan on small communities of discus in the 65s, see what breeding pairs I end up with, move them to the 32s and then grow out in the 50s.
    System is run on one filtration system, using RO water, to top off continuously (small slow constant water change), and for around 30% water changes via large reservoir (145 gallons) to a 190 gallon sump.
