Betta Drip System 101 11

Betta 13 years ago 75,012 views

Worked on building a drip system for some betta tanks. Took me 15 hours to build this so far. This video is of the first run with all connections in place but not everything has been sealed tightly yet. You will probably notice a few leaks here and there. Tomorrow I will working on sealing off the ends of the 3/4 inch tubing and seal around the drain tubes from each betta tank. Hope to have this thing up and running 100% by the end of the week. In case your wondering what the heck this thing is? It is a filtration system designed to filter the water for 30 siamese fighting fish tanks (bettas). Each 'tank' is a plastic container that holds 2.2 quarts of water and will house 1 betta fish per tank. The water is pumped up through 3/4 inch tubing which has one outlet for each betta tank. The water enters the tanks and drains from an overflow tube back down into the sump tank at the bottom. I will upload a follow-up video when I get the system fixed for leaks and start and start adding fish.

I like the way you have it set up, but I have a question. How do you get rid of the waste at the bottom of each container?
Thanks in advance.

how did you seal the outlet so it does not leak?

Zerobot - 8 years ago

+Wolfz Dragonz that line is just for overflow of the water, floating waste could still move into and get filtered by the sump system but most will be at the bottom the jars(tanks)

+zerobot002 oh ok..what about flushing system?can that waste move through the overflow pipe?

Zerobot - 8 years ago

just stick one side of the airline tubing into the tank and have a bucket that is lower than the tank and just suck the end of the tube so that it uses suction power to draw the water out(waste) into the bucket.
