This set up is for the serious breeder. I used this set up to Breed 7 batches of L046 Zebra Plecos in 12 months! (Could have been more but I had a baby and couldn't give it the time it needed)
This setup is meticulously built and flawless! It's hard for me to let it go as I put in 6 months of building and testing. But I am much too busy now to keep up with breeding.
Here are some key points to this system:
• 4 TRUVU 40 gallon tanks with black back and black bottom.
• Change the water in ALL 4 tanks at the same time without even getting your hands wet!
• Change your water levels to simulate a wet/dry season while leaving everything running... turn the ball valves and that’s it. You don't even have to turn off the filters!
• Flush out all the poop and crap that accumulates at the bottom of wet dry without touching the water.
• Hand crafted 2x6 boards made of Redwood into planks and used as the shelves.
• Heavy duty stands that hold about 1,000 pounds each
• Ball valves are made by CPEX (known for their quality Ball Valves) I’ve used all True Union ball valves so that you can remove if needed.
• The wet/dry Eshopps WD-300 is drilled near the bottom with a 1” bulkhead installed so that you can drain water from the bottom when doing water changes. Super easy and again,
you can leave everything running while you are doing it!
• Modified lids so that it could accommodate a 1.5” bulkhead instead of the stock 1” bulkheads - This allows you to turn up the water flow for fish that love current
• I had all tanks running at 1600 GPH without any problems (it can handle more but it wasn’t necessary for my purpose) - I like to give L046 Zebras about 10x flow
• Fluval SP6 to power water flow to all tanks with ease and can create over 10x turnover per tank if desired for fast flowing current
• Gate valves on each inlet so that each individual tank’s current can be independently set and controlled.
• Comes with a Ranco Thermostat to control your heaters which can fit nicely out of the way in the wet/dry
I'm asking $2,000 for this entire set up (The tanks and parts cost me more than this)
