Austin Raabe Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Dean and Cory produced a couple of youtube videos detailing how Dean raises fry. They showed and discussed the fry containers but not the tank in which the containers were suspended. Is there a video I missed that focuses on the tank? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 It's a 20 long tank with a couple sponge filters in it. Here's another video @Bentley Pascoe made about it 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Raabe Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share Posted August 7, 2020 Thanks for the info. Do you know if the pump simply recirculates the water or is there a continuous water change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MickS77 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I believe it just circulates the water through the trays from the tank. I'm not sure if he has the tank on the auto water change system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentley Pascoe Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The pump circulates. Dean has a central water change system, but he controls his water changes rather than fully automatic. I'm not sure how much he changes the water on that particular tank, but I would guess frequent smaller changes over one big change to keep water chemistry as stable as possible.

Dean’s Fishroom Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 The tank itself is a 20 gallon tank that is filtered by an Eheim canister filter filled with bio-media. There is a relatively fine sponge on it's intake in the tank. There is also a fine sponge filter in the tank and another small filter in the tank that is kind of like a small box filter, it has coral in it for buffering the water. Finally there is a really fine sponge on the intake to the power head that supplies water to the fry trays. About every three months I clean all the sponges and filter media in the tank itself. I haven't cleaned the canister filter in the last three years. I do approximately 30% water changes three times a week. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric R Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I love it when I can search for an answer and find that exact answer already posted in a thread somewhere! And in this case, the answer is from the man himself @Dean’s Fishroom. Also, thanks @Bentley Pascoe and Dean for taking the time to make a detailed video about your fry tank setup, I'm looking forward to trying it out myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck33 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) Hello, I am curious as to what the metal valves that control the water inflow to the fry containers are called? The ones with the rubber gasket that come from the pvc pipe that supplies the water. Thanks in advance!!
