Fish room

[Magnos]

finally got my ps5 and tv mounted. On the top level of the fish rack I will be putting a bunch of 23.62x14.17x7.09" 10G longways tanks for breeding apistos from the main tank and a few grow out tanks. I'm thinking with the length and width the lower gallons won't matter as apistos live in 4" water in the wild

Can't go wrong with gaming and breeding fish at the same time

To be honest I'm not sure what I think as I could not have that setup. Still it is pretty awesome.

My problem is that I'm into media and watch a LOT of movies. To me it seems that the video screen is way too small to avoid total distraction from the tanks while watching a movie...

Lol yeah I'm putting up a 43" with hdmi 2.0 and 4k in two weeks. This is just a tv I had laying around but tbh I've been down here all night haha. I'm just playing turn based strategy games watching the fish. I am really into watching the apistogramma when they are in low light. Although they aren't very shy even in full light

Just and update. Tank is grown out. Clearly thats the dominant male and the big female. He just keeps harassing her trying to Netflix and chill with tail slaps. She's not digging it. Maybe she likes shorter men. Hoping she just needs to acclimate a bit more as she's only been in the tank for a week....

Oh there is always more work to be done brother. Going to end up removing that large wood shelf and putting in a small bar connected to a tv stand for the new tv I'm getting. And with all the space I think I can put another rack in. (Don't tell my wife)

Today I'm working on my airline piping. I never had enough valve adjusters to fit all the splits from my air pumps... it's a mess back there I'll show the plan after this post. I wanted to run it along the top of the rack but I cwnt think of a good way to affix the tubing to it. Any suggestions?

 

[Magnos]

That's what I have so far

Use a cable organizer for the air lines. If they can hold USB cables air lines should be fine. Use some silicone or super glue to mount the organizers on the tank frame or where ever is convenient.

Hmmm so I go from the pump to that and affix the organizer to the top of my rack and have them hang down? Definitely could work. I was like imagining using like double sided adhesive tape on individual air lines and I was like eww... let me get a pic of the space

 

[Magnos]

That's the space above. Should I do three organizers? I suck at this lol

 

[Magnos]

If I'm being honest I could care less about the mess of cords and tubing. It's more about adding flow regulators to all the lines to reduce the noise and unnecessary bubbles lol

Here are the air valves that I use. Been using for over 2 years now without issue. Cheap and stainless.

Here is the Amazon page for the cable organizers. I thought that they would be ideal as it is a three pack with different number of slots so you could start with the largest and drop down as the number of air lines lessens.
