?'s on mutiple tank system

Tethyis · Oct 13, 2007

I would like to know how the filter system is set up on a wall of tanks like breeders use. I'm looking at getting a new place soon and would like to set up a wall of tanks for breeding fish but I cant seem to find the info on how the filters and all are set up behind multiple tank breeder systems. Anyone have any links or info on this?
Thanks

sponge filters. you just get a blower and hook them all up to sponges.

You can hook multiple filters up to one blower?
I'm such a newb still lol.

Do a google search for regenerative blower. Its basically a big air pump that can power sponges for anywhere from 10-50 or more tanks off one line.

yes you can. the ones i have seen hook into pvc pipe and air valves installed for each tank. i think a 1/2 hp can power 50+ tanks.

There's also what's called linear air pumps. They work very well. Less expensive than regenerative blowers too. Try www.aquaticeco.com. They have a lot of aquaculture related stuff and plenty blowers and pumps.
