Thanks so much to you, Dean, for doing this. Appreciate so much being able to learn from a long-experienced expert like yourself, aided by Corey's great approach to broadening aquarium education to everyone. Please can you guys address how best to calculate what kind/power level of air pump when setting up a fish wall/fishroom? Always good to leave room for some growth, but then there's other considerations such as wear on the pump, etc. Thanks again!
Might try this on my African cichlid tank. Valuable knowledge. Thank you guys
The drill bit is mentioned in the video is 13/64ths
I don’t understand how you say in the beginning that 1.50$ is a lot for the valves but then sell them for the same price?
Ссупер
Dean is an extremely valuable contributor to this hobby.
I would love to see a video that explains what size air pumps you should use for multiple tanks in a system like this
I agree Blake Johnson that would be great
That’s a good idea for sure. I can imagine someone trying to run this with like a whisper air pump from petco or something...
Yeah I have five tanks right now and I have already miscalculated air pump size to run more than one or two on one pump
Absolutely agreed!
Alyssa Bentley lol
Dean videos are my favorite!! Hes so good at explaining the little things that make life easier. And the look on his face about the knot is the best thing I've seen all day!!
New aquarist: Loved this! I am making a fish wall and this helped answer all the questions I had. Short story..My husband built a set of stairs for his mother to get in and out of our above ground pool. We sold the pool and he recycled the stairs into a plant shelf/planter table for his mom but she didn't like the height. Soooo in I walk with my project for him to build me a fish rack to hold twelve 10 gallon tanks and he briefly mentioned the plant shelf/planter table outside and how perfect it would be but it is only two shelves and 8 feet long instead of the three shelves high. After looking at the monstrosity sitting outside under our patio realized it was actually perfect for my project because it was not tall but long (great for us shorties), built to support a tank and not talking about aquariums but the army kind. I think I can actually fit more tanks if I wanted and already has a built in air pump shelf. Win-win!
I have said before. I would enjoy to watch and listen to dean all day. The tips and tricks he come up with.
I would really like to learn about pump size requirements for "X" number of filters (various sizes for various sized tanks) and how to figure out what pump you need to purchase. Does hose length/distance matter (I know that sounds suggestive...let's keep on track with aquariums shall we lol)
Great video. I like Dean and his very relaxed way of teaching stuff :)
Yes, he must be a great teacher.
Love Dean's beans of wisdom!
LOVE THIS! Am in the beginning stages of converting our old dining room into a fish room (coralling many of the aquariums scattered through our house). Saw a video of Rachel O'Leary's airline setup, but this goes into more detail and will save me a bit more money--so long as I can track down those Ziss valves at a reasonable price here in Canada. I'd love to learn more about this, Dean & Corey, especially how to judge just how powerful of an air pump I should pick up. For now, looking at seting up 2x 20 gallon tanks, 1x 25 gallon, 1x 30 gallon, and 1x 38 gallon (a mishmash, I know), and add in several ten gallon tanks down the road. Rachel's video made me realize I'll have to figure depth of the aquariums, and not just guess from the gallonage I'm dealing with, but not sure how to go about doing the calculations. I certainly want to get rid of the mishmash of cheap, small rated air pumps I've got now, and go for a central system, or maybe a bunch of the great little SILENT USB air pumps (thanks again for highlighting those, Corey! Wish I could buy them direct from you, though happy enough you've got Easy Green available to us northern neighbours, now).
Nice touch with the green Dean!
SHOUT OUT TO HARBOR FREIGHT👍 love these table tops with Dean. I don't think there's anything this man hasn't thought of in the aquarium hobby. You found a gold mine of knowledge for us Cory and can't thank you enough for sharing him with us all.
Great Instruction and Dean is so relaxed in his tutoring. If you could give us more of an idea on what style air pumps you would use for these systems that would be great. I have done a similar set up in my room running 24 tanks and I found that I had to go to a much large pump, but the good news was that it was only one pump and not a lot of noise. Thanks Dean and Cory.....Good job!!!!
Dean is a national treasure!
International, I'd say :)
love how dean explains things
Loving the table top Tuesday!
Excellent I love it I'm building a 20 x 20 Fish Room awesome.
I love all the videos with Dean lol
I love all these tips from Dean and this is definitely something I’ve been needing to optimize and make more efficient
Dean, Cory you guys are awesome. I always catch myself watching these videos even though I already know how to make whatever you're making
No better DIY Duo than Dean and Cory.
You two are the best! You are an inspiration every time!
Very useful DIY video, thanks for sharing
I was just looking for a diy aquarium air pump manifold the other day with no luck. I’m just using T splitters and air valves now and I’m having pressure distribution problems, this should help fix that. Great video
Deans such a goofball, I love it! Another good video Dean and Cory!
I am from India, i am a guppy fish breeder.. its a very helpful video..
Tq sir
Love this series. Dean is the best!
I just recently did this closed loop system on my rack and without this video that broke it down, I would still be running several air pumps instead of the one. i have to say, I’m thrilled with this system! It’s limitless! I’m already dreaming up expansions because I have to take advantage of this air pump that’s not taxed at all by what I have so I have to expand! My next project is a 100g tank, I hope, with some new plants I havent tried yet and, of course, new fish! Thanks Dean and Cory for breaking it down easy. 😍.
Dean is so cheerful! Great explanation!
Thank you cory and thank you dean! You guys are awesome.
I love Dean and his neatness
Thanks Dean for this video. The end result looks much more efficient and tight than a lot of the gang valves on the market. The advice about the size of the drill bits was very helpful.
I love the tabletop Tuesday DIY’s I want to see the next one
Thanks Dean. I enjoy listening to you. I almost forgot I love your shirt.
Love Dean! On pins and needles waiting for worm cone idea...
I was not able to sleep last night because I couldn't stop thinking about how i was going run/make my air loop on my new rack of tanks. This is really great timing! :)
Actually it would have been great timing if it was out yesterday......just sayin', right?
Nah, im more of a fan of problemsolving by my self before i seek out help :) It does often hurt my sleep, but ill just take a nap in the middle of the day then haha :D
I would have never thought to build a manifold like that... I've been joining air line together with tee's and putting a valve in line with the filter at each tank.
For what it's worth, I have a Whisper 40 running 6x10 Gallons and I feel like I could maybe push it to 8.
I'll have to give this a try!
Thank you guys for this video. An easy solution to what I was wanting to set up. Absolutely loving the Table Top Tuesday videos. Keep them coming. 😍
This is the kind of content I first subscribed for back 3 years ago. Hope you do more in the future.
Thank you. I love these videos.
Love these quick tutorials videos! Thank you!
Love this kind of content. DIY is the bomb for the hobby.
Dean is the best! I’m curious about the worm cone....
"Let's tie a knot in the air line" it's a good job Dean is here😂
I have used one of those worm cones I did not like it will be interesting to see what you have planned 🤔
MikeJ H you could actually push the end of the airline tubing on the inside over a smaller tube or a cut off piece of a T or a valve. This way the tubing would be thicker on the inside stopping it from being pulled out.
Or push the tubing farther in, use a small zip tie to snug it, and pull the excess slack back out.
Dean's the best! Keep the great wealth of knowledge coming. Hulk effect was so apropos. Seems like I'm always straining to get those non-glued PVC parts apart. The more I watch Dean the more I relate. I too for some reason hate to show the markings in my fish room. I'm forever trying to hide that text.
I live in southern California where there are plenty of places to get drip irrigation parts. Off of a single 1/2 inch pvc stem riser you can attach an outlet manifold which contains up to 6 or 8 adjustable outlets. Fairly simple.
I learn so much from these videos ... many thanks 🤗🌸
I like the table top Tuesday concept!
Thanks guys for the fantastic ideas.
Hi cory and dean I love that idea I’m going to have to try it for my tanks. Please guys keep doing videos like this love them.
Great video gentlemen! Cory the only thing I would say to make it better would be… When Dean is giving a “seminar“, let him do the talking. There’s not a great reason for the moderator to cut in every three seconds with additional info. We already know you’re a great guy! 😉
I just want to say I absolutely Love Dean!! The best in the hobby
Very good. I was struggling to figure this out. U guys rock.
I literally needed to increase my air output for all my sponge filters. Then I seen this helpful video. Thank you for covering this DIY project.
Very smart cory the people want Dean, so you have been giving them more Dean smart man
Grate video guys love watching you work and if I ever get a fish room I will defo be using this I dear keep up the grate work love from the uk 🇬🇧
Black Poly Irrigation Tube and taps are my preference. pvc costs more and is less flexible for larger installations.
I Love these videos, and great Hulk effect on Dean.
Not that I'm OCD or anything, but you drove me nuts you did not use a tape measure to space out distance between valves. LOL!! Fun video.
Right. It's just Total length / (Number of valves - 1).
I ❤️ Dean!!!
With all those DIY tricks for a fish room/fish wall how about you make a video on what to look out for in a fish room, some tips, and tricks on how to make life easier for those that plan it? Not sure if I've just missed those videos... If so I'm sorry!
I used the tape trick after that video to make my spray bar. Works great .
Tie a knot... 😂😂 Cory... you’re the best buddy 🤙🏻
thanks you guys this video was extremely helpful
And yes! Show us the secrets of the worm cone :D
I love you guys, I literally was just talking to my LFS guy about this!
Thanks for that tip on liquid teflon and the air valves going to try them on my brine shrimp
This video is incredibly useful. I’d love to see more DIY projects like this.
I love the air pvc line thanks
Dean videos are Gold
Was that hulk dean ???
Dean is starting to get the hang of this RUclips business!
The Hulk of DIY
Love it! More please!
math - regarding the equal spacing. to get 4 equal spaces in between your endpoints just measure the distance between the ends and divide by 5, for six equal spaces divide by 7, for 3 equal spaces divide by 4 etc...
nicely done guys ... i use silicone to glue everything leak-free and could theoretically be disassembled later
Great content, can't wait to see what you do with the worm cone
Can’t wait to see what you do with the cones.
Love when Dean’s on!!
I do enjoy how you explain your project .good day to sir.....
Thanks for the tutorial
Cory chain Dean up in the studio and force him to breed fish and make videos 😂
Hi Dean, A little alcohol or PVC Cleaner takes the printing off the PVC.
How do we gage what size of air pump to use for length of the overall system or amount of valves we use? Not sure which affects the airflow more...
Bigger is better, but just guesstimate, like depends on how many systems yous running, but you can always lower/raise the flow w the valves.
I'd watch dean iron his socks. I bet he has a really satisfying method that eliminates any creases.
Y’all read my mind! I’ve been wondering how to do something like that. Now I know and I will be making it this weekend. Thanks!
I’ve got two of those worm thingies. I’d love to know what Dean does with them.
Awesome RUclips content team!
Great video super useful, what size air pump for this?
Thanks guys!
Thank you 👍✌
So if you tied a knot in your airline. . .😂 Thanks for all the vids Cory
Dean is the coolest teacher!
This is a really good diy... 👍👍👍
Hey Dean ! Thanks for another super cool idea. Love how your doing more videos with the COOP!! 👑 Omg he's also the Hulkster!💪 Lol
Love how you trigger his knowledge Cory :) so cute !!! Hard to be filmed . That way he feels like it’s a conversation with you !!!! We love this ❤️ can I have a HOME MADE FISH FOOD RECIPE FOR GUPPIES!!!!
Can't think of a more dynamic duo than Cory and Dean.
How about a DIY tank stand build, or the fish wall that you referenced in the video. I've made my own and I'm sure people would appreciate knowing how to build one for themselves.
Awesome instructional video! But of course! From Dean the awesome instructor!! Thanks!
I enjoy your expertise and love for the hobby. Can’t wait to have a fish room!
Thanks Dean we would see more DIY 👍
Great video !!!! You know your stuff and your great in the camera :)
