Its long gone Jason. I was not going to pay to have it stored :'( Perhaps one day when my boys are old enough will build another.

Hey Mike,

Make sure you let me & Ron know when things are finished and the tanks are all full of discus to sell. We're still looking forward to coming out and seeing the new set up.

GARY

Mike,

Looks like a good, planned set up. I was pondering how to go when I set up my fish room and that way looks to save some time and be easy to handle.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks Mike for the explanations and pics! I hope you dont mind if I 'steal' your ideas also! ;D I like the fact that you can easily set the amount of water draining. I cant wait to see how your going to setup the filling system! Keep us posted!

Mike,

How do you get the siphon started on the drains? Is it just gravity? Or do you start siphon with a pump?
Thanks!
Lynn

Thanks John & Ronrca... It took some thought and planing. I wish I spent the time when we set up the main hatchery things would be so much eayser.

Lynn, The head pressure from the water starts the siphon when doing more then a 50% water change. Break the siphon on one of the stand pipes and it will stop.

Very nice job on the tank dranage system mike. I did the same thing on mine also with the pipe inside the tank to regulate how much water to remove.

Mike.

Nice setup.

Where'd you get the "slip" type BH fittings?

Wow, wicked set-up Mike.

I was just wondering how much water you change each day and how you prepare it ? That is if you dont mind sharing your secrets

Thanks heaps Ben .
