New fish room, autofill auto drain
I am currently interested in setting up an 8 tank breeding room with an auto fill/auto drain system direct from 3- 200gal rodi storage and conditioning tanks, leaving me about 3 days worth of water before having to recondition.. I have the ro/di storage and conditioning setup drawn out, but have no idea where to start with an auto fill/auto drain system..I do not want to have to drill the tanks and I do not want to have to deal with any spillage (carpeted room). My plan is for 6 - 20 gal longs and 2 - 40-55 gal grow out tanks, Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
I would be using 4-20 gals for the breeders and the other 2-20's for young fry, the two 55 gals would be for the older fry, separated by age.Originally Posted by mrblah00
I also have a 125 gallon planted show tank (currently only 3 Cory's and 12 cherry barbs) I could keep a few pairs in there, once fry were eating LBS if needed. That is IF I become successful at it! If I do I could and I would add a few more tanks, shortly after having to move a pair or two. This is my small scale test run.
I am planning on moving in about 6-12 months...When I do, I plan on setting up a larger 40-60 tank breeding room (not just for discus) Once that is set up and running, I can move the fish from my place to the new place with water parameters preset to match their previous tanks. Where I want to move is only about 45 minutes away.
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
oh man, that would be awesome to have 40-60 tanks room. really want to see your set up running. Please post progress report.
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
Aquadream, I hope you don't move too far away from Huntington Beach. I really want to check out your set up. I'm local to your location about 10-15 mins drive.
You will able to hold more tanks if you clean your garage. This is Kevin by the way
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
Hahaha hello Kevin
I wish I could but time is limited now. One day, one day will be filled up.

20 Long is not a good choice for discus.

Agreed, they would appreciate the extra height of a 29.

Nothing wrong with a 20, just needs to be a 20 high

I can easily make them 29's- this is why I am here after all. Kevin, are you the one that helped set up the autofill/auto drain system for diamond_discus? This is where I need help. When I move it will be to Long beach or San Pedro. If you are that Kevin, your help would be greatly appreciated!
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
I would PM you but I have to get my 10 posts in first :/ halfway there!

Same name but different person
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
Oh ok. Well after some research and thought, I figured out a system that will work! I will start building the rack in about 3-4 weeks and I will keep you guys updated with some photos. Of course you can check it out in person if you want Kevin. I'm happy all this is finally coming together.
Re: New fish room, autofill auto drain
It's going to be really hard to do auto fill/drain setup if ur not willing to drill tanks
