Imagine original indigenous people got hold of psych wards and run them like pros.
The contradiction is they wouldnt need or have them but if they did they would diagnose everyone ill.
Thescenario here is that those people having been taught the ropes of psyche wards would then be sick themselves and would have lost touch with their ways to ba able to share them.
Here is an expert in bush craft, lets put him in the city to teach everyone.
Everyone takes note from a lecture and becomes an expert on bushcraft?
Here a certificate, you are now qualified to drag people out of homes and jab them with some chemicals someone ekse has concocted that was taught the same way as you.
Oh look some people who know better are cutting heads because we sent people under the guise of religeon to do the same thing there even though they were better without us but we know better because of thousands spent on university and text books which gives us a right.

Not sure why all of this would be posted on a video about fish but thanks for watching.

"Hey lets build a facility to look after fish, we'll need tanks, pipes, boxes, filters, electricity, pumps, lights, stands, nets, heaters, security...lets lay the concrete slab right there

Hi, after a pair of discus laid eggs when can I do water change and how much? Thanks

And how he deals with the feces in each tank every day...?? I don't see any UV filter system so it menas every rack is expoused to potencial diseases outbreaks

I doubt with this being so old that I'll get a response, but I'm just dying to know the answer. I'm curious as to where the pump pulls from the sump. Does it pull from the bottom? I'm assuming it isn't since a lot of the fine waste settles to the bottom. So, does it draw from an overflow tube in the sump maybe? Or maybe multiple overflow tubes to minimize a large flow area that could stir up sediment in the bottom around the overflow?

Nice one, good job, thnx for the answer

mikemosley77 - 6 years ago

I forgot I had posted this comment or I would have come back and shared what I found out. I actually talked to Discuss Hans and he explained that, yes, it does pull from the bottom and that was an important aspect to his system. Pretty much, all that sediment you see settling at the bottom of the sump is present in the water column but just dispersed in so much water and so many tanks that you can't see it until it all settles together in the bottom. Once it settles, then he evacuates that out by draining the sump area through a bottom drain. So pretty much no sediment is sitting down in the bottom until he shuts the flow off.... then it settles, then he drains it from the bottom to ensure he gets as much out as possible. Hope that helps some.

folkmarcmetal - 6 years ago

Seriously though, iam curious as well. But as you see on the video the dump is completely dry , so no overflow i guess...

folkmarcmetal - 6 years ago

hello mike, here is your response you have been dying to hear... i have no clue whats-however

Alan Gilbert - 8 years ago

Amazing setup, I would like to copy your setup Hans as the water changes can be a drag within a busy family life, what type of foam is it you use on your sumps?

RyansAquarium - 8 years ago

this is incredible

Russ Polk - 9 years ago

Hans is the man

Absolutely Fantastic! As an engineer, first thing I thought of was how Hans would love his water change system being automated, no more ladder, twisting valves, etc. Congrats! I don't even have Discus, hmm yet, and I found this series absolutely fascinating.

dbnfp - 10 years ago

What is the proper GH and KH for raising Discus? My water is very soft, KH is 2 and GH is 2 also. Is this water too soft for discus? I know the PH should be 6.6 to 6.8.
Thank you.

Ravi Shane - 10 years ago

great video.thanks.

Trae Stutzman - 10 years ago

GoldfishRsoDelicious - 10 years ago

Very creative water change system, I wish i could dto this at home! I need to stop being lazy and just haul my 3 or so buckets.

The Angry Fish Guy - 10 years ago

Wow an amazing system he has!

dvdfrnzwbr - 10 years ago

I guess I'm wasting my money on Blackwater Extract, Carbon, and Peat Granuals. Hans is using a gigantic sponge filter only, and dechlorinator.

Discus Hans - 10 years ago

uhhhh yes, most stuff you don't need WITH GOOD DISCUS lol lol

The Fish Closet - 10 years ago

Jesus, the nerve of some people. You got a great set-up Hans. Glad you made a post, now I can watch your vids too. Beautiful fish, all the work is paying off I hope.

The Fish Closet - 10 years ago

Hans is a real pro, what a system. So glad he took the time as did you to show how its done. fish are real beauties. Just a great job. Thanks for sharing.

NickMach007 - 10 years ago

Great series. Thank you again!

Discus Hans - 10 years ago

I always yell at John any way so no big deal. Next time we will shut off all pumps, airpumps, etc. just for you okay??????

KGTropicals - 11 years ago

No, all of his fish come from one place and he wont allow ANY fish in that he doesn't know. On the Discus side anyway.

KGTropicals - 11 years ago

I can only dream of dancing with a system like his lol.

Richard Neave - 11 years ago

Really privileged to have such an expert freely sharing his knowledge and techniques. Great series of videos, thanks.

e schmidt - 11 years ago

What a cool set up. He really does have it down to a science.

Huy Nguyen - 11 years ago

does he ever have the problem of disease in his tanks since they all are connected to one system. Does that mean transfer disease?

Greg Jones - 11 years ago

for such an advanced fish room, this water change routine seems like quite the dance - tons of great info here though, thanks!

RQJ1987 - 11 years ago

The bubbling is too loud in comparison to the rest of the video & I just find the bubbling annoying. Like I said though, the rest of the video series was great. Too bad Hans' fish room is so noisy for your mic though. Sounded like it was forcing him to yell at you most of the time.

KGTropicals - 11 years ago

Sorry it doesn't meet your production standards.

KGTropicals - 11 years ago

He really is, every time I or we go up there we don't end up getting home till late at night. The kind of guy you can talk to for hours!!

KGTropicals - 11 years ago

I don't think he has calculated the exact percentage, its a pretty hefty w/c though. His PH is between 7.4-7.6.
