The Making of Barrack systems/automatic drip system for my bettas

Life as a student really make me busy with all the assignments and exams that always comes to you .Time is the major issue here as there is not much time to spend with my bettas and that really concern me the most.I had to figure out how to maintain my bettas water condition without taking much of my time.So after doing some thinking and googling through the internet i found this system called barrack system or so call the automatic drip system.

This how it work: [water from filter tank] --->[pump up through all the pipes] --->

[water is filled in each container]---> [at certain level

water overflow from container] ---> [go back filtertank

via draining pipes]

The cost of the usual barrack system really cost alot.Here is the things for making a very gud barrack system:

1)-Gud filteration tank with Uv light to kill the germs at filteration section.

2)-Use glass tank for the bettas but each tank need to drill a hole for output holes.

3)-A very gud piping system (can use rubber hoist or normal pvc pipes)

4)-Big size pump to pump all the water from filter tank to all the pipes

As the cost is very high, i have to do some modification that will save cOST:

Objective:
-To built a low cost barrack system
-A system that use limited space
-A system that can accomodate many betta in one system
-To built automatic water changing system for each container with low degree of maintainance

Here is my barrack model using materials that are much more cheaper.With the help of my brothes we manage to finish it for 2 days:
