    Hi everyone here is TASA, I am from Malaysia and i breed guppy, betta, killi and discus.
    Aquatic plants wise, I am keeping rare and exotic cryptocorynes( more than 40 species)
    I have about 200 tanks now and all are equiped with automated water changing system.
    I am glad to be here and hope to intereact with aquatic hobbyists in SA.

    I am also an International Guppy Judge and events organiser for ornamental aquatic fish competition. I will post some pictures later.

    Welcome Fishoman,

    Nice to have you on board. If you have 200 tanks then I am sure that we will appreciate your advice.

    Kind regards,

    Dirk Bellstedt

    200 tanks??? Dude... that's SERIOUS ACCUTE Multiple Tank Syndrom!! (AKA MTS)

    You should get some help with that... I beleive at a certain point the cure doesn't work!

    Welcome.

    Look foreward to hearing about the stuff you breed, your automatic water change system... oh, and pictures always go down VERY well.

    Welcome. I like it when guys like you join because there is so much we can learn from you.
    Saw some of the pics you posted of your fish and must say they are impressive.

    This is how my system tank looks like. I have 13 racks and each rack has
    14-16 tanks. I drill two holes on each tank, one at the top and one at the bottom and i use dripping system to add water into the tank everyday. One second per drop, and the excess water will flow out from the hole on top on the tank . And when I need to do partial water change, I just turn the knob on the bottom of the tank and the water will flow out from the pipe to the drain.
