Fluid bed with multiple colors

Well, I saw a video by SDG lurecraft this weekend and was influenced by his fluidbed,,,it’s not exactly what he made, I did a 6 color bed where he did an 8,,,I saw with his big compressor pump he could manage only using 5 at best, so I attempted making a 6 bed and hope for the best… it was made with being more compact then his, and a lot narrower so I could have everything together including the air pump and easy to grab and hang on the wall after using… So here it is,, please let me know what you think….

Cups are filled with different colors sitting on a shelf waiting for me to chose what colors to be used next,,,,just twist and pull out color cup and store ,,that way nothing spills and I don’t have to clean out a cup to change colors,,,,just have multiple cups pre filled…tj’s tackle makes the 2” cups readily available with built in filters

Great looking setup

Looks pretty cool. Let us know how it works for you.

Works great with 3-4 cups working at the same time,,,for me to get more, I’d need a bigger compressor or add another,,,,4 is way more then I’d use right now,,,,maybe later I’ll get bigger….

The compressor and fluid beds are glued down into the plank after I cut 2” holes to fit cups,,, so it all fits snug and tight,,,.manifold hoses are all glued down with solarez so it’s airtight .

Very good work

This is what I've been using for my four-bed system. I don't know what it's limitations are but I think it's well beyond four beds.

Now that’s a pump!

I got it for something like half price on one of those Amazon open box deals.

Very good work. One of the aggravating things about fluid beds for me was their instability. Your set up takes care of all of that and simplifies changing colors. Good Job!
