The fish room is a long work in progress. Kind of like having a project car. Fixing things up and making things better one step at a time :) Also adding tanks one tank at a time 😅 Be sure to follow me on Instagram @ryowatanabee for more updates
I give you some idea how the design, just looks at the car exhaust muffler box and that is your soda bottle going to be but without ctr pipe. you just need to fill the soda bottle with cotton wool and Walla....you will like it
Hello as usual your videos are very simple and detailed and I like to see every bit as I get lot of ideas and I love it just because I am also a normal hobbyist..I want to tell about the hang on back filter you purchased ...I have a shiruba hang filter motor outside not in water ..the problem you mentioned that we have to fill water everytime is not true ..during feeding I stop them and start after 20min it automatically pulls water ..Only thing when I need to fill water is when I clean the filters and tanks ..entire water get empty from filter and to start I have to fill water ..but that's ok once in aweek ..the tip is if you keep the level of water very high just above the filter indicator still where you need to maintain water then it automatically pulls and it looks good the tank doesn't have the motor occupying space inside and just a input pipe that's it ..just for your info .thanks 😊
Yes! I’ve heard about how you run your tanks from lurking on some of your streams as well as hearing from Aquaium Co-Op. I just don’t know if I have the guts to do that yet😅 My favorite tank of yours is the mascara barb tank. Can’t get enough of it :)
I really liked your shop tour vids some time ago and your trips to these japanese fish stores and all these rice fish guys. Would be really, really great if you can repeat these kind of videos across Japan. 😂 No, just kidding but as said the vids were pretty interesting to see. It's the combination of the aquarium topic and local particularities that makes them pretty interesting and nice to watch. 👍🏼
Hi ,will those new filters be cycled enough. Maybe would be better if you had some seasoned media balls to add to the hang ons when you take the sponge ones out .Just I would be worried about losing fish.Hope everything goes ok ,love those false rummy nose.
Love the video! Idea for the hang on back filters? Maybe heat the plastic a little to mold it more around the thick bit if the tank instead of cutting a bit out... if you only do a little bit shouldn't affect anything. I'm cycling my first tank now cant wait! True inspiration. Thanks for the content
Great video Ryo! Pretty cool having a fish room! Goals! Hopefully everything works out! Can’t wait to see the 120p!! Like the cameo from your uncle 😂 video bombed!!!
Ryo, you can use the big hang on back filter on the 4ft tank. Just cut a little notch out in the rim part. You will not hurt the aquarium in any way and will still be able to use the lids. It would not be that hard to just notch that little piece out. Just mark it on the rim when the filter is sitting on it and then get a Dremel or small rotary tool and cut that little piece out. 👍🏼
Can those pumps on the hang on filters be turned around 180 degrees so the bright labels are facing back, making the pumps disappear more with their dark color?
I’ve checked tidal as well. It’s got to have at least 3.5cm clearance for my tank and the tidal one is very close to that. I don’t want to buy it and risk it not working 😅
@@RyoWatanabee then go for tidal 110 as it clears 3.5mm, you can just lower down the flow as flow control is great for tidal. I'm using tidal 75 for my 50gal tank for my goldfish. I cant remember if it was koDIY or primetime aquatics always said that always go 1 step higher for the rating of your filter. Plus seachem tidal rivals canister filters in space for bio media. Only downside is its a bit expensive.
Ryo one question, do the mini ponds need direct sunlight? I have mine set up but I live in a desert and I put it in a shady part of my yard is not super dark just don’t get direct sunlight, do I need to move it? Thanks 🙏
It would be better if you could get some amount of direct sunlight. The plants would do better and I feel that our rice fish grow faster and stronger with sunlight
Relocate the pump outside of the room. I like HOB with the motor that goes in the water because I don't have to worry about the motor overheating and reduces the sound.😊 It would help if you ran the airline above the window. I'm surprised the bichirs haven't jumped out
I think you could have still ran sponge filters but yeah that air pump was super overkill for the amount of tanks you’ve got running at the moment. Probably could have compromised with 2 smaller but bigger (if that makes sense lol) air pumps. Of course there would still be some noise but no where near as loud. Rather than a obnoxious hissing sound it’d be a humming which in my opinion is a lot more tolerable haha 😂
I get migraine headaches, so I can't deal with lots of noise for my fish tanks. The first air pump I got was SO noisy. I just couldn't stand it. I've had good luck so far with the Tetra Whisper 60 pumps for my 8, 10 gallon tanks. Not too loud for me. Gotta find what works best for each fishroom. 😊
Have you ever considered internal filters? They seem to be rarely used outside Europe, but I like the Eheim Biopower 'internal canister filter' ones. They are really flexible in terms of the different media you use, and have a venturi for aeration. You can check them out on Amazon. Great video!
Yes, I’m thinking about doing an internal filter for the 4ft tank. I’m not a huge fan because maintenance is quite troublesome with internal filters. I hate having to take the filter unit out of the tank. But let’s see in the future, maybe I’ll try it out
cover your windows cause its causing alot of your algae issues, and those hobs being clear plastic will get algae growing inside too, really enjoyed your ada fish store video i watched it from start to finish, i wish we had stores like that here in the uk
Where do you find your eheim media? I live in Okinawa and know very limited japanese so my search efforts have been hindered. I can't tell which ones will change my parameters of what I have found here locally.
@@RyoWatanabee I plan on going to Okinawa Bianco tomorrow but it's a drive down the island. Pet Box is another local store and they carry Eheim canisters but no biological media from what I found. Thanks for the reply!
I think you went the wrong way for your RUclips folks. More tanks would mean more air used and THAT would mean more videos and content to make us even happier!! 😊🙄😜 Just saying... Greetings from Ohio over in the states!!!
I hate the noise of air pumps also. I have my pumps go on by timer at night(Kasa smart plugs linked to google home.) Also helps to eliminate CO2 when the plants don't need it.
I have made a DIY canister filter with 4 inch PVC pipe. The outlet is of a 1/2 pvc pipe on which I have attached a pvc showerhead🚿 ... It sits 1/2 inch above water and creates many bubbles due to showerheads water agitation.... My room has pin drop silence and the fish get good oxygen without noisy air pump
@@RyoWatanabee I just ordered a Tidal 110 for my 220L freshwater tank. I hope this is enough filtration with the addition of a sponge filter. I have a canister filter too but it leaks too much! 😅 I like the idea of HOB filtration a lot more than external. Your fish room looks amazing good job 👍
That is a major waste of time, money, and equipment. You should have added more PVC to get to the other side of the room and pick up the fourth tank. Then vent your air through the wall to the outside. It would have been easier, cheaper, and better. Who pays the electric bill? It is going up. The PVC looked fine.
No such thing as over filtering as long as you can do something about the flow. Also you can just reroute the exhaust to lead outside the building so it won't be so noisy, you just need more pipes and a one way valve at the end so it'll let air out but nothing back in
Yup, understand. I’ve got a lot of pvc pipe but two things that prevent me from rerouting it outside. First, I don’t want to put a hole through the wall. Second, too many people walk by the fish room since it’s right by a road. Not a busy road but many neighbours always walk past and I don’t want to cause suspicion or disturbance
@@RyoWatanabee there were a few videos that I saw and they did it in a closed loop without having to release the air though. I plan on getting an air pump like yours and if it is not possible for a closed system and it is going to make so much of noise, I'm gonna scrape that idea
Bro this is just a life hack just add an air stone inside the sponge filter it will increase the filtration perfomence of the filter and lessen's the noise and provide more oxygen
@@RyoWatanabee I was thinking window :) but thats ok, that pump is really too big for the tanks you have at the moment :) but make sure you keep it around because watching your videos its clear you will keep trying to fit tanks in that room. :D
After a year, you can return the air compressor and make a video "How to Reduce Electricity Costs". And thus you will earn from advertising water pumps, air compressors and watching your videos.
Oh cmon Ryo 😀 that little thing can't run a 60cm tank in no way 😀 Not enough bio media Not enough flow That can be enough for a breeder 60cm tank, but planted tank nah

Actually you can make silencer for your extra air output sound, will reduce 90 to 95% if the sound. Try it first
Just using 1.5 or 2 liter soda bottle will do an good silencer
I give you some idea how the design, just looks at the car exhaust muffler box and that is your soda bottle going to be but without ctr pipe. you just need to fill the soda bottle with cotton wool and Walla....you will like it
Submersible filters thats the way to go
What do you have in that little breeder box on the honey gourami tank, Ryo?

I use no filters its super quiet so quiet you can hear the timers for the lights. Great to see the fish room coming along!
Yes! I’ve heard about how you run your tanks from lurking on some of your streams as well as hearing from Aquaium Co-Op. I just don’t know if I have the guts to do that yet😅 My favorite tank of yours is the mascara barb tank. Can’t get enough of it :)
Didn't expect LRB here 😁
I moved from sponge filter to hang on backs for the same reason. My tanks are in my bedroom and the pumps were way too loud.

Would be really, really great if you can repeat these kind of videos across Japan. 😂 No, just kidding but as said the vids were pretty interesting to see.

Amazing fish room love it!
Thanks, it’s a long work in progress. One step at a time trying to make things look nice
You are remarkably energetic, Ryo.
Can those pumps on the hang on filters be turned around 180 degrees so the bright labels are facing back, making the pumps disappear more with their dark color?
Yes they can. I can peel the labels off too.
Seachem tidal is best for HOB filters. I think the 75gal version could clear the bracing from your tank.
I’ve checked tidal as well. It’s got to have at least 3.5cm clearance for my tank and the tidal one is very close to that. I don’t want to buy it and risk it not working 😅

You can also use an airstone to diffuse the noise when bleeding off the air.
Relocate the pump outside of the room.
I like HOB with the motor that goes in the water because I don't have to worry about the motor overheating and reduces the sound.😊
It would help if you ran the airline above the window.
I'm surprised the bichirs haven't jumped out
It’s a great little space. HOB do not pull that much extra electricity so no stress.
Seachem tidals are great hang on back filters. Easy to maintain too

How did you make your homemade CO2? bottle size and quantities?

You can put a tiny piece of wood or plastic under the left side of the filter then it will level out perfectly. Great video!

The tank with the hab filter and the co2. Whats your opinion on that light you have?
The light is quite week so I’m having to supplement with another light
whats the link for the set up video of the cilinder looking scape?
Love the videos, you should do a video on your diy co2
I will
nice lid design. Well done Ryo.
Remove that label from the pump with a black background and black pump you won’t notice is as much.
Yes, or I could just turn the pump around to the side with no sticker
@@RyoWatanabee you can do that too.
16:40 I thought you were from middle class family. lol. Your content is great✌
Nice video Ryo, what kind of camera do you use? I like the little compartment in the filters for the bio media nice
Love you brother.. From India🇮🇳
Hi Ryo! Can you do a video on how to make your diy Co2 system?
I will
What is your tank dimensions for your cardinal tetras?
60x30x36cm (24x12x14in)
What kind of plant is it into your Medakatank in the beginning of your video?
If you put the filter on the other side of the light then the leaning tower should hide the motor 😊
Yup, I thought of that but the water flowing out of the filter will be blocked by the tower.
@@RyoWatanabee Ryo how come you don't put the heater behind the tower? I think it would make the tank look neater :)
I just added white cloud minnows in with my neon tetras as well-- what temp do you have your tank at?
24 degrees celcius
Vent the air outside. Use a pipe through a window or something. Won't be as loud inside the room after that.
Gex hang on back is great .. i use it in my aquarium ... i live in shimabara come visit my fish room 🤣🤣🤣🤣..
i would just put a big water barrel to mute the sound , and you can pre age the water for wc as well ?
So when is the contests? I want to see the tank you prepared, obviously after the contest is done!!!
its all about saveing on electric you will find putting them fillters on your tanks will cost more to run than that air pump
I think you went the wrong way for your RUclips folks. More tanks would mean more air used and THAT would mean more videos and content to make us even happier!! 😊🙄😜
Just saying...
Greetings from Ohio over in the states!!!
I am definitely going to add more tanks. Slowly one tank at a time. I don’t want to rush because I’ll end up setting up tanks that I won’t enjoy
I hate the noise of air pumps also. I have my pumps go on by timer at night(Kasa smart plugs linked to google home.) Also helps to eliminate CO2 when the plants don't need it.
how is there 6k plus likes on this comment ?

Yes, but it’s pricey
@@RyoWatanabee it's selling at sgd99 for tidal55 @C328...
cant you put the pump outside?
Very nice always watching from Philippines😎😎
Thank you 🙏
Get a fancy small pelco to clean your planted tank but do give it a cave to hide.
Look into the Seachem tidal HOB filters bro 👌
Yes, but tidals are quite pricey. I may as well go for an eheim canister which is roughly around the same price here

Downgrading the airpump would have been much cheaper, will reduce the noise to an acceptable level and had saved you time.
Yup, but I still don’t like the look of the pvc pipes
@@RyoWatanabeeOk, as long as your content with the end result. ;-)
Hanging filter is for beginners..
Wow. Great workt

I agree, i think he is going backwards on all his fish room related things....... oh well
How I wished that filter is available in the UK
I just got my Seachem Tidal in and its the most slappin HOB filter ive ever had lol
That was a great video.

@@RyoWatanabee ah yeah definitely a bit of a problem alright.
Looking forward to your future videos!
Why not put the air pump system on a closed loop? That way wouldn't the air be just circulating throughout the loop?
Even in a closed loop, you’d still have to release extra air I think
@@RyoWatanabee there were a few videos that I saw and they did it in a closed loop without having to release the air though. I plan on getting an air pump like yours and if it is not possible for a closed system and it is going to make so much of noise, I'm gonna scrape that idea

take a cutter,, heat with fire.. then cut the edge.. simpel ryo..
You're right, it's simple. But I don't want to modify the tank. It would void the warranty

Fans from Hong Kong
there you go ur 1k like is me hahahaha
love ur vids man keep up the good content and all the best
So why is he taking the airpump out? Couldn’t hear anything over the noise it makes 😝
Hello how do u do that cover 😂😂
Its look very nice
Why didnt you just put that air into a tank of water with no fish in it, wouldn't that be quieter?
Veo tus videos sería bueno incluir subtítulos a español para que otra audiencia te vea saludos y excelentes acuarios
Oh cmon Ryo 😀 that little thing can't run a 60cm tank in no way 😀
Not enough bio media
Not enough flow
That can be enough for a breeder 60cm tank, but planted tank nah
Mate, totally the opposite. You really don’t need a single filter for a planted tank. I just like having it there for flow and some beneficial bacteria. Check out how Lrb aquatics filters all his tanks
