THE BEST Fish Room Air Pump Setup - DIY Closed Loop System

Today we cover what is arguably the best fish room air pump setup which is a closed loop system powered by a single powerful pump, in my case a linear air piston pump from Jehmco. We go over the pros and cons of this system, how it works, and how to set it up.

I'm about t9, finally, install/build my halo/hoop today... I'm currently rebuilding my 3 fishrooms one at a time, thanks for the free education...! I'm in Sarasota Florida, heard you were also in Florida... Anyway, thanks again and keep up your good work...! Go enjoy some nature today...!!!

Got this same project coming up in my room next month. That looks like the 45, I plan on going with the 60 but I also plan on having more thanks cramped into my room. Thanks for sharing your project.

I love this idea. And I’m about to start my fish room build in the next month or two. Can’t wait!

[terrymartins]

Love all your DIY ideas, great job!!!

Makes sense. The hose will expand a bit under pressure and when you are running long lines and a bunch it could be just a tiny bit but would ad up fast. Just changed my plans. lol I guess 3 loops in 1 system here. Our room here is a U shape. This will be entertaining to get it all dialed in. We plan to ad a single air system this weekend. We planned to use a linear pump but I think we will likely end up on a compressor. We will be running 120 filters on the system.

That is a neat system, I like it.
Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍

Ryan, makes sense in the length of the airline. Hopefully the new changes are more efficient. I will have to look into that Jehmco pump if I expand my fish room. Heard a lot of good stuff about them.

[SportsNBourbon]

Thanks for the tips man, about to do this myself. Definitely going to use a few of your tips for sure.

[plantsandfish]

Thanks for making this video! It was helpful!

[anthonycoates]

Great stuff bud. I'm surprised that the tubing would be creating the air flow issue. I always thought that it had to do with the head pressures from the tanks. I look forward to any changes you make and any improvements that they result in!!!

[johncarlson]

EXCELLENT - Thank you for all of this information.

QUESTION: When you install the manifolds, aren't you creating more corners & more possibility of losing pressure. it better to come off the 1" PVC instead of the long lengths of air hose?

[jamesdean]

Great info for a newbe. My only question is where can I by these walwes you use direktly to the 1 inch pvc aond put the oxygenslang in för transport to one oft the akvariums. Thank you

[MsJimbo]

Hi, i have built a fish house and got the same pump as yours.Could you tell me how you attached the hose to the pvc tube please ?

[catfishcave]

That was a great tip from Caotropheus!

[andygirone]

Going to do this, this week in the fish room.

[steandtee]

Don't know if you have modified yet but I wouldn't unless you fit check valves as if you power goe off you could end up siphoning the higher tanks into the lower ones nice room pal

i'm about to open my own fish store in the philippines. been watching youtube videos about closed loop air systems. do u think closed loops increase the air flow/air pressure as compared to linear (not sure if linear is the term where i basically use 3 air blowers. 1 air blower for this side (straight for 100ft), another air blower for this side (straight for 40ft) and lastly another air blower for another 40ft straight? coz my store is big. like 100ft x 12ft and practically all the 2x100ft sides are lined with fish tanks (no fish tanks on the 2x12ft sides). a total of maybe 300 to 400 airline drops. i'm worried my 400w hailea vb800 vortex blower is not able to provide enough air pressure for all the airline drops. i actually have 3 air blowers ready. but damn. the electrical consumption is gonna be high. 1x400w, 1x180w, 1x120w. if i can only use the 1x400w to power all my fish tanks, that would be super!

[mrhick]

Subbed. Nice system! What model/brand is that "plumber's tape" that you measured, cut, and used to hang your PVC from the ceiling? Building a basement fish room and that looks like the best way to build my loop, but a "plumbers tape" search isn't giving me the stuff you're using.

[Sentrygunmancolab]

What connector do you use to attach the pump to the loop?

[barefootfish]

Just came across your video bro, great fucking job, very detailed 👍🏽 perfect explanation, love it keep doing what u doing brother.
