    This would work well for adding pothos to the back of a tank especially if you have fish that like to dig up plants.

    @Aquarium Co-op did something similar but used a garden hose washer. The inner diameter of the washer fits around the fluval tube and the outside diameter washer fits inside the easy flow connecter and uplift tube. You dont need to cut the curve tube with this method.

    I find most DIY or Hot Rod product methods a waste of time and done more for the entertainment of the keeper. This idea I really like, I will be trying it.

    I 3d printed a little adapter piece that hooks to the bottom and holds an air stone to accomplish the same goal. Less noise and a lot more water flow.
    Great minds think alike!

    love it! going to raise up some baby bettas soon and was thinking about the fry keepers for moments i need to start separating if I didn't have enough tank dividers. going with a matten filter right down the middle to start, and while I don't necessarily need the extra filtration I do need steady flow and it never hurts to have a precycled little filter hanging around for a new project.

    Cory have you ever thought of using a fulfilment company to do your warehousing and shipping in Europe? I know of a good one. They will handle warehousing, they could even do assembly, order fulfilment and shipping to your customers. We need your products in Europe, please.

    That would be a very useful breeder to have if you had it set up like Dean has shown us, I use the nylon mesh breeder box for the momma fish and then transfer her over to her own tank until she pops, then I put her back into the breeder cage for a week or so till I know she good, after that she goes back in the display tank and the fry have their own tank to grow out in👍👍👍same concept, different method 👍👍👍

    omg Cory if you made an external breeder box can you make it so the tank lid will still close (or at least mostly close)??? pretty please with a cheery on top!

    Awesome new invention, more of these vids please 😎👍 use air pump to pump water into the next side tank, where a small hole between the 2 tanks allow it to flow back with oxygen to the first tank, save power $

    What if Cory would deaign a similar box, but made out of the material that the catch cups are made out of? They seem a lot tougher material than whatever Fluval makes the breeder boxea out of.

    • @ReneesZooTube

    How long can you keep fry in a breeder box? Can you grow them a bit in the box and then transfer to the tank?

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  4 дня назад +2

      It depends on the fry and the quantity, but yes, you can grow them out for awhile in the box before transferring to a larger tank. ~ Zenzo

      Keeping the water topped off consistently helps a lot

      Not having hard water, that’s how

    • @AquariumCoop
      @AquariumCoop  4 дня назад +11

      Dean has soft water. My well water is very hard. If I don't stay active in cleaning it becomes a problem. Controlling where splashes happen from filters and air stones is half the battle. Keeping lids on to help prevent evaporation and water from getting up onto the rims helps as well. I use the algae scrubbers on tanks every few months to keep it from getting super crusty and hard to clean.

      @slamboy66 I know right?!? We need a store here. I order from Aquarium Co-Op but I’m inpatient and it NEVER fails when my package arrives Im like oh crap I forgot to order the airstones (for example). With as many hobbyists there are in this area, would be nice to have more quality aquarium stores 🥺
