Pics for Jojo

This is my pump. Pushing about 25 lines right now.


This is the tiny manifolds I have now. I have about 4 of them. The 4 lines that come from the pump go into 4 other manifolds like this one and then into the spoonge filter. I need some small pvc so it can push more....


This is the new rack I made...90" tall and 48" wide. It is on the right side. I will have 16 10G on it.


This is the other rack on the left side.... It has about 8 tanks on it...but also the other 2 racks are next to it...they have 3 20L on them....


here is a pic of them both from a bit away...

ok done jojo

That's not much air, when you want more let me know! You know I have some huge air pumps for sale!

Sorry Kory I got busy at work and forgot about this thread.


So the two manifolds are for one rack or two racks?
If two manifolds on the same rack I can make something like this:

I guess it would be for 2 racks. I'm trying to do atleast 30 tanks off this one pump

nice, you should get some good algae growth from those sunny windows.

Is that PVC in your so called drawing? lol What can I get for my pump so I can connect it to PVC?

I plastic adapter and plastic tubing from Lowes.

I would have no clue what to get....

I have a similar pump like yours. It is a Coralife Linear piston pump.

Let me take some photos tonight and give you an idea how to hook up that pump to your DIY manifolds....

sweeet. thanks boss! I need to come see you soon ....mabey next week..got your tank still

You know, this sounds like a good DIY topic for our first meeting!!

Once i learn how!!!

From Pump



To Manifold

WTF, you made that yourself? I need someting just like that. Where can I get the supllu for my pump?

Your pump should have come with that single output nozzle. Replace that 4 output manifold with that. Then bring it to Lowest and fit it with high pressure plastic tubing. The plastic adapter that goes to the threaded part of the manifold comes from Lowes too, garden hose adapter section of the plumbing area. I buy all my plumbing from home improvement stores except bulk head fittings.

Oh and Yes I proudly made it myself

Yeah thanks!

The bill actually goes down. I had about 11 tanks running sep. b4 I made the change. My bill went down about 40-60$. I now have 20ish tanks going and the bill still is not anything out of control. Best thing to do is monitor all the electo. Make sure u are not leaving lights, fans and stuff that dose not need to be on ..on. Manage the situation you should be fine.

One large pump vs multi pumps will knock the bill way down. I know my pumps use about as much as a small light bulb.
