You need a bigger tank period, and it looks like you’re putting goldfish with guppies, do not do that, that is a horrible idea, goldfish are better with their own kind, get a bigger tank for both of the breeds or don’t own fish at all

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Alexis Graystorm read my comments to the others with regards as to why I did the project. Not a single fish in either one of the tanks stayed together after this video. All the fish are still alive, have bred and are living in ponds in my garden... I have kept fish for most of my life, have studied Nature conservation and has no wish to harm any living animal. Please read some of my other replies and if you want to have a look at the updated videos on how all my fish are doing.

...and move your thumb out of the way of the saw!!! As I am typing this you take the box cutter out and forcefully push it towards your hand. How often do you go to the emergency room?

Hans Tun - 7 years ago

Those blades snap off (if you have one that does obviously but this is like 99% of box cutters) and the new, fresh and super sharp box cutter comes thundering at 90mph in what ever direction you were pulling it. It can do a lot of damage... and don't ask how I know this!!! :)

Hans Tun thank you so much for your comment. I have never been to the emergency room, and I do not plan to go there soon...

This is the only book I could find on Aquaponics that had solid reviews [Check Details Here >>> fb.com/EasyAquaponicSystems/app/137541772984354 ]. I hadn't started my own Aquaponics set-up yet, but am extremely interested in doing so.I wanted something that would help me understand all of the systems required, how to plan a build, and what to expect once it's set up. "Aquaponic Gardening" did a good job of answering all of the first round of questions I had.

Chris Edmister - 7 years ago

I'm wondering. what's the point in the bridge. also the water is flowing in one direction so how do the fish get back into the other tank. seems like eventually all the fish would be in the other tank

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Awesome!! Great to hear! Post a link here if you have done so, I would love to see it! ;)

Chris Edmister - 7 years ago

Liaan Lategan thanks for answering. I may have to make one of these

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Hi Chris thanks for your comment. In my opinion the point to the bridge is to 1- Enlarge the water body so that more fish could live together 2- Water quality is easier to manage because the water body is larger 3- The bridge makes the fish interact with their surrounding more and their home becomes more interesting. The flow of the water is not that strong, I also mentioned it in the video that it is directly correlated with the size of the return pump. Thus the bigger the pump the stronger the flow of the bridge. In nature fish naturally swim up stream and for this bridge that I have built, neither the fish nor the shrimps I had in there afterwards had any problems swimming up stream. So to answer the statement that eventually all the fish would end up in one area, nope, they come and go as they please and I firmly believe the bridge makes their home more entertaining, natural and healthier for them. Hopes that answers all of your worries ;)

Prince Leigh - 7 years ago

He should have used clear piping instead of being frugal and buying solid white PVC piping. You want to see the fishing using the entire bridge, not just the clear pipe at the top. If I had to rate your bridge, I'd give it a C-, mainly because it does work but, you only benefit from seeing 33% of the bridge in use & it looks tacky & thrown together.
My suggestion would be to trash your first attempt and spend whatever is necessary to construct an actual clear aquarium fish bridge from one aquarium to another and make it look pleasing to the eye. That way you will benefit from viewing the fish utilizing the entire bridge.

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Prince, I respect that, I checked the video out and that looks amazing! I think I should do a new fish bridge video in the near future. Have a great day, and thanks for pushing me to make a better bridge ;)

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Prince Leigh not sure if you are adressing me or your fan base here, but ill answer your comment none the less. First off if you watched the whole video you will hear why I did not use clear tubing for the whole bridge. It also stresses out a fish if they are swimming up or down the pipe and they can see around them, but cant move around. They feel trapped. The white pvc pipe helps to darken the bridge and give them shelter. It was not built to look aesthetically pleasing, nor get A+ marks from random people. I built it solely to see if I can do it and if the theory will work in practice. It worked and thus I removed it, swapped the fish out for shrimp and it also worked for them. It is now working in my garden between two ponds, thus enlarging the ponds for the fish there. But hey, thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment.

Hi,
Need ur expertise.
I have just made a DIY CO2 generator today with citric acid(200mg in 600ml h2o)+baking soda(200mg in 200ml).
Its been almost 16hours now after the set up,but the water level in citric acid bottle has finished.
And I had shut down the regulator flow meter before sleeping,yet the CO2 pressure gauge shows more than 1.
Need to know whats happened for the water level to drop and what are consequences with this much pressure in the bottles.
I am running 2bub/sec.
Is this normal to finish the citric acid water level to get empty?

Catherine Kennedy Thanks, I now have it in between two ponds (you can see a recent video I made on the updates) I have a few apple snails in the ponds that are great at cleaning it, but once a month I take it out and clean it with a sponge attached to a magnet. that worked well but I recently tried a sponge attached to a rope that I just pull through a few times, and. that works really well.

They are not cheap if you dont have them laying around the house. I wwould have loved to make the whole project out of clear pvc material, but alas. :)

Jonas Z - 7 years ago

in germany we have goldfish outside in the pond all year, if its not all frozen to the ground it is usually no problem ? does your complete pond freeze?

Jonas Z - 7 years ago

ah sure didnt mention those extreme shifts .... now it seems logic :D

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Jonas Z nope no freezing at all, but we have massive temperature shifts in a short period of time. From 25 degrees in day time to 5 at night, and I have lost fish in the past, so tried to play it safe. Will try a diy heating project this year for. our winter time.

XxKing_IsaacxX - 7 years ago

When you were sucking air from the pipe didn't you suck any water from the tank

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Experiment 626 eventually when there is no more air to suck, you will suck out some of the water, but that is the time you remove the pipe. The water will then remain in the bridge because of the vacuum you created when the water "replaced" the air in the bridge.

Johan van der Werff - 7 years ago

En so baie luister nie. Jy noem dat dit n tydelike tank is vir die koue weer. En wragtig sal hulle jou hap oor die groote van die tanks. En tog vergeet hulle dat jy nou die adisionele volume van die water en die 2 tanks moet bymekaar tel. Sterkte mnr.
Vinnige vragie - met die seel van die pype, is die klampe nodig op die lasse?

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Hi Johan, ek dink probeer n kleiner pompie gebruik, want anders sit jy met al die vis in een tenk en kan nie weer terug teen die sterk stroom op na die ander tenk nie. Ek het presies dieselfde brug gebruik,omrede dit so duur was aanvanklik om dit te bou. Ek sal my volgende video maak oor dit. Kyk gerus na my video getitel: (Upside down fishbowl aquarium) ek het die dammetjie gebruik plus n ander een langs hom, en die kleiner tenk gebruik in die video wat ek onderstebo gedraai het met die nuwe dammetjie. My goudvisse wat jy in die video sien het nou al so groot geword dat hulle nie meer die brug kan of wil gebruik nie, maar ek het n paar kleiner goudvissies in wat heerlik tussen die twee dammetjies swem. Ek gebruik die pomp van die waterfallietjie van die een dammietjie en laat dir uit die waterfallietjie uitoop na die ander dammetjie to, dus het ek n ligter stroompie vir die visse om teen te swem en dit gee baie goeie sirkulering vir beide dammietjies.

Johan van der Werff - 7 years ago

Reg so, dink die silicone is genoeg aan gesien jy nie regtig vreeslike drukking gaan he en en ek verstaan dat die drukking werk na binne. Ek dink om ook so iets te bou met my een klein tenk (dink hy vat 12L) maar sal die vertikale pype miskien net so 10cm lank maak en met n sucker vas sit aan die glas. Ek het n powerhead met n canister filter wat binne in my tenk is. Ek probeer nou net dink hoe ek gaan water sirkuleer van een na die ander. Die powerhead gebruik ek om ook vloei te produseer in die tank so ek kan nie daardie deel koppel aan n pypie na die ander tank toe nie. Dink die 700L/uur meen dat die vis sal nie sommer teen daai stroom swem nie. Ek het nog 2 pompe wat net daar le in n kas soos ek tenks gaan opgradeer het so ek sal bietjie moet sien hoe lyk hulle in- en uitlate om te kan pomp van een na die ander.
Het jy dieselfde brug gebruik wat jy hier gebou het, of jy bietjie groter gegaan?
Ek sal daarvan hou om te sien of ek nie heeltemal deurskynende pyp kan kry vir my brug nie, maar om gravel cleaner pyp te koop soos jy se is net bietjie duur.

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Haha dankie Johan, ja ek hou maar net aan verduidelik, dit blyk my die meeste van die mense is net te lui om verder te kyk of om te lees. Ek het self n nuwe video gemaak sodat hulle kan sie die visse is nou buite, maar heelaas. Wat die lasse betref, ek dink nie dit is nodig nie, die drukking is van binne na buite, so dit seel homself as dit sin maak, waar as dit net n gewone pyp hegging was, sou die druk van buite na binne wees. Dus die deurskynende pyp (Gravel cleaner) druk styf teen die 90 grade emlboog van binne na buite en dit seel regtig goed. Hoop dit maak sin? Ek het intussen die brug na buite geneem waar ek nou twee vis damme met mekaar verbind, en die brug werk nogsteeds soos n bom!

Gabrielle Petro - 7 years ago

Cool idea but please research the needs of your fish, that tank isn't big enough for a betta and a snail let alone two goldfish. Massively overstocking. Other than that good video!

DAWOOD PARKER - 7 years ago

well done on the video boet...an im proud that my fellow south africans sharing there experiences.i say the following with all good feelings but for future reference do you think it would be better to rather work on any DIY projects away from fish to not stress them out regardless of the tank being an experimental tank.also to give time for materials to dry properly before usage.but thank you iv subscribed an looking forward to other videos.

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Thanks man, yeah that is a valid point. Was my first attempt at a water bridge, and I was super curious to see if it worked or not. All fish are doing well, and most are in breeding tanks now. (Except for the goldies, they are having a Royall time in the pond). Thanks for the sub, will definitely be thinking about a whole lot of things before I tackle my next DIY. :)

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

inside outside upside downside increase the water volume, maximise filtration and have a diffirent approach to the aquarium hobby than what othets have. This was just a quick diy project to show people how they can make their tanks more interesting. If you dont like it, then dont do it, simple as that.

Hey awesome stuff , i got a question about the water bridge , I did the same set up as yours i am running a canister filter in Tank A and it spray bar in the Tank B to cycle the water , my problem is it only flows one way and the current is too strong for the fish to swim. I even turned the filter off and it just flows one direction From tank A to B the current is to strong , How do i get a slow water flow in the bridge, Thanks heaps .

P.s
The Spring bok rugby team are awesome, from an All Black Supporter .

Hi Albert, thanks for the comment. I would get a splitter just after the pipe leaves the canister filter, and allow the one pipe to flow back into the first tank. That way the flow is reduced and the cycle will be not as strong. Alternatively you can get a flow adjuster before the spray bar (But that will hamper the amount of water that needs to flow through your filter). Hope that helps.

Jack Long - 8 years ago

I am in Canada and as long as you have a pump running to keep the water from freezing to the bottom the fish will be fine.

Liaan Lategan - 7 years ago

Thanks Jack :)

Jack Long - 8 years ago

+Liaan Lategan (The Wild wonders of SA) makes sense like your video though good job keep it up.

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Jip that is understandable. I also do my general maintenance on the pond. That is why I take the goldies out, and keep them in another tank for a day or two. I take out all the water in the pump, clean it out, and make sure I clean out all my filters. Outdoor ponds and aquariums fairly quickly get hair algae. But yeah obviously our winters are not nearly as harsh as yours, but we do get massive fluctuations here. One day it can be around 45 degrees C and then the next day you are looking at around 10. So I made the decision to take them out and house them indoors when I build this project. I have lost goldies because of weather fluctuations before. ;)

Frederika Lam - 8 years ago

awesome idea! But your tank is way to small for your goldfish :(

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Frederika Lam Thanks. Yeah I just had them in there to show how it works. I also say that in the video and discription, and if you see the updated video, you will see that the tanks are now only for shrimps.

Steve - 8 years ago

how's about having a bridge into the same tank? would you need to circulate the water? or maybe position the filter outlet so it points directly at one end of the bridge? sufficient?

Steve - 8 years ago

John Taylor hmm...I see..and you've got me at it now ha ha....I have that sort of tank with extra separate lid along the back made of plastic..I've had a piece of smoke glass cut to size and leaving a square near each end for the bridge to enter and exit the other side. currently cutting more glass to make the cube shaped bridge. I've a feeling its gonna be a head turner.

John Taylor - 8 years ago

That could work, as it is basically a vacuum. And putting an outlet in front of it will work great.

SalamiLlama - 8 years ago

guppies and goldies shouldnt be mixed..

SalamiLlama - 8 years ago

my LFS told me to "Not believe everything I read" when I told them my space limitations for my goldies. And these are like my friends who work at this LFS and theyve been in the business for over 20 years as well as having tanks personally, and they give me discounts on stuff cuz they know my financial situation, so if anything itd be to save me money, but I dont know where they got their measurement education from

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Awesome stuff! I hate it when pet-shops only want to try and make a sale ans sell those awful bowls with the goldies. I do however use a fish-bowl but for a different reason.I use it in my pond,as a lookout point for my fish. Made a video about that also,if you are interested.

SalamiLlama - 8 years ago

I totally agree with you, good to see someone making fish education videos who actually knows stuff about fish. My parents laughed at me when I told them my goldies needed at least 15 Gallons each. Still cant convince them they do, but i got a big tank now anyways.

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

No problem, I love my fish, and I also get upset when people put fish together that may harm one another. This video was only made to show the fish-bridge work. It has now become a Shrimp-bridge as I personally believe the tanks are way too small to keep any size fish in it. Have a look at my fish bridge update video. ;)

SalamiLlama - 8 years ago

Ah okay. That's alright, just don't keep them together for too long or one of them is gonna get hurt, thanks for replying.

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Hi SalamiLlama, I only had them in there as a demonstration, goldies are in a huge pond, and I`ve got my guppies in a massive breeder setup with all my Life-bearers.

well an English teacher that has been teaching for 30 odd years says that thats the correct fucking spelling.

The Deamon - 8 years ago

armymanscott That is completely wrong. One is "you are" abbreviated and the other is possessive. Pick up a book man!

"your" is the correct spelling. "you're" is just another way

Thats creative

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

I have cut open a sponge and placed a magnet in it, then i glued it with aquarium safe glue closed and I use another magnet on the outside to drag it around. But since I replaced the fish with shrimps, my tank stays super clean! They are awesome cleaners!

Hope you have plans to upgrade those goldfish. Those particular ones require bare minimum 30g each. Being in that tiny thing they're gonna be stunted.

Lynx, I am an animal activist and would never harm them on purpose. I will post a video on my channel showing their new home and how all the fish are doing. I promise.

Lynx Joker - 8 years ago

For their sake I sure hope so.

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Dont worry, they were in there for just a week. We had a really cold winter so I decided to take them out of their pond and place them in there for a while and to show how the bridge works. I have since replaced all the fish with shrimps, and created a heating source for my pond to keep my fish happy.

kinda crowed fish tank

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

No need to worry, this was only for about two weeks. It is now only for shrimps. I figured out a way to heat up my pond outside and keep the temp stable. I would never keep fish in such small tanks for long periods. Thanks for the comment though, more people should care about fish and their needs.

simpleAI - 8 years ago

wow your keeping 2 goldfish in a box! they need 50 gallons 0:37

Squishybum - 7 years ago

Shyren How about you stop being an animal abusing cunt? They have a large bioload even as babies, and it's less of a cost to just get the 55+ gallons up front. If you have a goldfish in a 5 gallon for any amount of time it will slowly poison itself. Get your facts right before you comment, rude ass.

Shyren - 7 years ago

Squishybum it's not wrong when you first get them. It's true that when they do grow to be that big they need 55 gallons. But when you first get them they only need about 5 gallons per fish. Stop being a bitch (:

Squishybum - 7 years ago

Shyren
WRONG. Common and comet goldfish can reach 1 foot in length and require 55 gal for 1, both due to size and massive bioload. Stop spreading misinformation

Shyren - 7 years ago

Actually it's about one gallon per fish depending on the size. Medium fish are about 5 gallons per fish and large fish are 10 per fish

Gordo Maldito - 7 years ago

How cold do winter temps get in South Africa?

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Fish and Minecraft, it all depemds on the area in Southe Africa. Closer to the Drakensberg mountains easily below 0 degrees. and when you go up north its nive and warm. Where I stay it rarely goes below 12 degrees, but the water temperature unfortunately drops at night way too rapitly and thats what killed my fish. Summer time I have no problem keeping tropicals in a pond. Winter time I just catch them and house them indoors.

substrate not sunstrate.

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Thanks man, yeah it surprized me also! The brittlenose uses it often and the snail got the hang of it. The other fish are still a bit uncomfortable using it. Can you Imaging having a tank next to your pond (no sunstrate in it, with good filtration) and a setup like this where you can view your pond fish!

DebTim A CANADIAN Girl - 8 years ago

Taken care of.. Oh that`s so cool.. I was talking to my hubby about making another pond and connecting them with a little river.. wonder if this would work That is so cool! I love it.. very cool. I bet they will be using it lots when they get used to it. You cold make one side the kitchen.. and they have to come over to eat lol

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

Fish are much smarter than what people believe! What if you made the banks of the river a little bit more inaccessible? Making them steep or at an angle where the cat cant reach to the waters edge?

DebTim A CANADIAN Girl - 8 years ago

The kitchen would show just how smart they are. I have a fry grow out tank.. the way it sat at the time I always fed in the one corner. They always went to that one corner anytime I was around.. they are smart! I have the water fall recycling the water through a filter system but it would be cool to have a river. My cat fin killed a gold fish today and I know it would be too easy for him to eat them all with a river. :(

Liaan Lategan - 8 years ago

The pond - river idea is an awesome idea to get "fresh" water in, but you might lose some fish, but if it is a water "feature river" that could definitely work! I really like the idea of creating a "kitchen" for them, that will definitely work. :)
