hi welcome to fish keep in Jamaica today I'll be showing our to project in which I'll be doing this
heroes weekend the first is my overflow system no let's look I have I currently have 17 tanks
of the same thing tanks 15 of these tanks plumb together very much they are filtered and water
release there is a valve which for each tank releases the water for example like this now
i'm currently changing the water and I'm going to take it out the fish else we are put in a
different type of fish each tank about now I live in the tropics and the tropics experience
hurricane season between June November each year now at times rain fall very hard and win fall very
hard containers like these are filled to the brim being it that I read different type of fish from
big to small I have to take steps so as to prevent my fish from being accidentally overflow into the
yard image they will eventually die and those I have actually plumbed my 55 gallon jumped so
I still see the excess water from each container into a specific line bring it to the back of the
yard now let's look know each tank has outflow right it has an inflow and also have an overflow
this poem of role was recently installed you know what I have done was to actually use one inch male
and female adapters instead of bulkhead usually I would have used inch bulkhead but because of
expenses I choose to use the half inch no it is not yet completed what I have done I used the
1 inch female male adapter I've actually drill a hole with a circular saw I put in one of the the
adapters through which is a mere and screwing female in it and so as to ensure that it stays
in place not necessary for water not to come true to virtual I both want to stay in place I
will be putting in 100% silicone clear silicone around here now you notice there is a pipe here
now in this pipe look at it very carefully you realize that I have actually used ax or blade
to actually put ghouls in it this blue serves a purpose whenever the water which is a particular
level in the pond let's see here and covers here and just about to flow over what will happen is
that what will go through this roof now in going through this groove the water will actually travel
all the way down into this pipe right there is no lock off which controls the flow of this water and
it goes to the main in each it goes to the back of the Irena change in which I'll show you later
so for each tank this is done no this is done with intention of preserving honestly ensuring
that our fish is accounted for right all fish is safe in the tank during the case of horribly
in a tropical stone tropical depression I just I have a downpour now the fish in which I actually
keep within these tanks ranges from so TL incopy mollies I have a few touches Zeus which is my
Zeus which is my my Oscar and I also recently just included in my fish stock my and as you all know
kumite their baby their fries are very fine those I have shown you blast last two videos yeah two
videos a spawning which I have in my pond I had to take out my my rainbow and my other coal mine and
no it's just appear a nuclear family rule about a habit of about 150 fries those I have to be very
careful not to actually Jill my my my my overflow holes because I realized that the last time I did
I might have accidentally lost some fish no this is what the Julian would have looked like yes I
could have used finer and Jew bit but at the time it was just not available because I choose to use
that in right so presently I am in the mode of putting some goldfish to spawn now some change
and water washing out the lilies and to prepare for that I will show you that in subsequent
videos now each of my tanks have this overflow now the overflow is the marker as to where the water
level will maximize right now if you notice some of the ponds are linked to one side which makes
it really difficult for the water to actually exit to the overflow now what I will do for example for
this one it is mean it is like off track alright what I will do I will release the water in short
order not necessarily but I will release the water and in releasing the water I will actually after
releasing the water should I say I will place a piece of board or probably another piece of stone
at the foot right ensuring that the tongue the pond is actually leveled off now when it is level
of the overflow pipe will actually be sitting on top of the water so shrinky is heavy wind do come
what will happen is that water will not pass that marker the water will actually exit and when it
exit it exits through this pipe right I'm changing the water no so you see it's exiting right and it
runs down into a change in it my heart needs to be cut less and the change actually both all over
here to the back of my yard some food shoes and right so as to ensure that what is not wasted in
the past I had released the water right at the breadfruit tree and if you notice the bread to
achieve is springing very very beautifully right some amount of water is still released there from
when I actually released the water into that change the root actually spread across the
change so it actually feeds it okay so each town has its own overflow it's only one tank in which
I have not yet jailed and instituted our overflow and that's the zoo staff which is a black down to
the corner I haven't some issues with that and I will deal with that in short order No let me
thank you for watching fish keep in Jamaica it is hope that you in your construction of either your
tank or your pan keep bear in mind that sometimes water can sometimes water can overflow from where
it's said to be for example you might leave your pond to be are you a talent to be filled
right and you you decide to go in the kitchen and we decide that it's being filmed not remembering
that you have actually placed the tongue so we feel now it is good whenever you have an overflow
on your tongue because it prevents disasters right I for example when I had the tender when I had the
pump installed with this pump right and water usually circulates through the canister filter
at times you will see tanks looking like this right with water actually decrease in
volume within the tongue and you will see tanks overflowing now if I had the overflow set up no
this would not have happened because what what happened is that the water will continuously
circulate water continues to serve in excess water is in it it will just leave and the system
owners system will work on balance of itself now with a pond it's a little bit more easier
to actually create overflow because you have easy accessibility to jail a bit that can gel
plastics or you can build a pipe system within your concrete so as to get the excess water oh
but with glass you have to carry this to shop which actually cuts it so it would be best if
you in planning tube in an aquarium you believe to have by the way that's if you're going to be
using your system air and water needs and what an exit water infiltrating and it would be good
if you have an overflow because the overflow serve a wonderful purpose now this haptic in
me quite a while to do right it took believe it or not this row of Afghans sorry these were
tanks took me I've been of this overflow system cost me a bit right um the pipe itself was two
lengths of pipe and each length is 40 feet right that really I think it was one horn one hundred
one thousand dollars per feet right the fittings I could not use the the normal ball can because
one world can was for two hundred dollars and I would need at least fifteen voltage so you
can do the match 15 times two hundred right they the male and the female adapter the male adapter
cost about $25 the female cost $20 right the bomb cost $15 and that was it and that was less than
$100 therefore in actually doing my overflow system I had to consider cost because I had
a large amount of era to be covered no no that my overflow system is in full operation the holes in
which I have actually enjoy within some of the tanks because it was right these holes will be
filled with 100% white clear should I say clear silicone so as to give the fish more space to
swim right so some will stay while for example this it was just very high what is very high
these holes were for the main purpose of overflow what I think they the fish was coming up too much
to the top and this allow babies to actually come out I think I might just fill them with
silicone right so these holes they feel and yeah so therefore all what I will now exit through the
overflow which goes in the deck on the pipe in which I actually shown you into the change into
the backyard thank you again for watching risky to Jamaica do have a wonderful day and remember
to subscribe share and like I like when you press like it encourages me to move forward and
to be creative and to put forward whatever I have actually looked at or become interested in bye bye
