This is the stull that will be my new barrack system.
I will keep up dating you how I builded mine. :)

I will definately be following this thread very closely as I think I shall be needing a barraks system myself very soon. So please LOTS of pics of everything!! :P

I will as well. Hope to build one myself in the future as well !!!

Up dating. ^_^
I am lazy to type now because my fingers still hurt. :P
You all can figure out by looking at my stuff. :lolo:
I still have to do the two sumps tomorrow. Pump and uv light is done. ready to pump and just need to let them dry until tomorrow. ^_^

;)

Looking good, I can't wait to see that baby in action!

Wow, you've done a fantastic job!!!!!!

Thank you. This barracks can be dissemble if I want to move later. ;)

:o That is the same flex tubing im using for my pump :D

Holy cow. Kaldnes K1 Media came today and they are a lot. LOL :OO
I am soaking them today. :lolo:

Oooh I love your method of draining the water, quick and effective. By the way Frankie, on the first couple of pictures did you slice the PVC pipes and then inserted the drip emitters? Afterwards, did you seal up the openings using the glue?

Jbn. Yes. I am using Q tips to put the glue around the emitter and into the pvc hole too. Then I insert the emitter into the PVC.
I really like the water flow back down and it is great. Easy and simple. No more seeing those water dripping from the beanie box or dust gets into the drainage. I tested it and they are working great.
Also when joining and attaching the PVC pipe to connector, don't turn too much else they will leak. I got few spot leaking so I have to fix it. You know, you learned from your mistake. I know when I do the second one, it will be more careful and better.
I just found out some of the black emitters are leaking water from the turning knob. So my vote is 3 out of 5. Then I change to the toro green emitters and hopefully work better. I think it is better even can't stop the water flow like the black one.
I love the pump!!! Really strong and very silent. I still can add 100 more beanie boxes for the future. I might hook up all the tupperwares. ;)

I just forgot to add that this barrack is running 128 beanie boxes. ^_^

128?? That's like a dream come true, I am so jealous!!

Show me pics of your media soaking!

I soak mine in PP for 3hrs then rinse and put in filter :lolo:

Mango. I am still soaking those beads with water. Not ready for the filter yet since my emitters are still leaking. Will be get the barrack done tonight for sure gluing. ^_^

Finally I am done gluing. Wow. Tomorrow should do final test. ^_^

You should seed the media....soak in PP for 3hrs and wash it through.

What is PP? I am still soaking the beads with water for few days now. The barrack is going to launching soon. LOL Should have no problems now. LOL
Been busy packing bettas sending out today but I am done now. :lolo:

PP is Potassium Permanganate.

Made my media sink below water surface :D

PP = peepee? :OO

:OO :OO :OO

I DIDN'T SOAK PP LAH. I LET IT SOAK IN THE WATER FOR FEW DAYS AND THEY ALL SINK.
FINALLY MY BETTAS ARE ALL IN THE BARRACK JUST NOW.
THEY ALL LOOKS HAPPY!!!!
^_^
I TEST OUT FIVE MALES BETTAS SINCE FRIDAY. THEY ALL LOOKS GOOD AND TODAY I MOVE ALL IN. PICTURES COMING!!!
YES, I HAVE BEEN BUSY PUTTING THE BARRACK UP. THAT IS WHY I AM NOT IN HERE. HOPE YOU ALL ARE HAVING FUN. :lolo:

Awesome !! When does construction start on the next one ? And when are you coming here to build me one of those ?

Mango. They are in the two yellow black bins.
Next one? I have to make ceramics now. :lolo:

WOW! That's neat! Great job Yeevs!

Thanks Aiwen.
Not cheap to build a barrack I tells you. LOL A lot of work too. But if you into breeding bettas, it worth a lot. I don't have to worried to clean beanie boxes 2 to 3 times per week. :lolo:

I know it is a lot of work but it is well worth it. I have seen the beautiful pics of he bettas you breed on here that other members have.

Great job!!!!!!!!

How many bettas does the one you made hold?

that is pretty cool Yeevs. you just amaze me

This one hold 128 containers. Right now around have 100 bettas living in. Empty sport just for any new males to jar.
This barrack still can extend another 50 more. The water still have extra pump out and when I got time later on, I will add another shelves extension. Right now is perfect. ;)
It worths and I don't have to clean beanie boxes like I used to be. ^_^ I have more time now. :)

Thats great!!!!!!!

So we should see you hear more often, and you can get me pics of my own personal yeevers fishes, that I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for.

I been busy messing all the tanks moving babies around. Yup, The barracks are nearly full. Maybe got 10 or 12 slot left. LOL :lolo:
