Fishroom Build (with pics)

[nacra99]

Half of the 75/40B rack. It only has a single 75 gal out of the twelve 75 / 40Bs that i could hold. Hopefully it'll fill up as i continue to collect used tanks.
Plumbing is done for this half of the rack. Each drilled tank drains into PVC drains and eventually makes it out into the flowerbeds.


Couple of cobalts are the first inhabitants of this rack.


One the other wall, 20 / 29s. These will be used for breeding and fry growout tanks before they are moved to the 75s & 40Bs acoss the room. Two more racks will be added whenever i have the time (away from homework) to build them.


Couple critters on this side of the room:

Temporary housing for the zebras before they get moved to a 40B across the room.


Zeeb-Pile


Leopards


Albino Millennium Gold Pair


Albino Pearl Diamond Pair


Well.. that's it for now!
I'm still looking for drill-able 75gal tanks (with middle brace) and 40 breeders.
Hit me up if you have any for sale.

looking good! how much does the temp in the garage differ from outside. Im trying to set up a snail breeding tank or two in my garage with 2 20 gallons, because I have no room inside. Also is this room for your personal collection or are you a seller?

[nacra99]

I'm running 1x75gal, 1x40B, 3x29 and 3x20L all with in tank heaters.
That plus the de-humidifier makes the room nice and toasty.
Also, all my tanks are insulated at the bottom with 1/2" insulating foam and reflectix all round the sides and back.
Together with versatops on all tanks, it seems to be keeping all the tanks above 80 degrees.

Yes. it's my personal collection. These were all around the house, making everything nice and humid inside. So i had to move everything out into the garage. The house is sooo much better now...

SO how do you think the tanks are going to do in the 100 degree summer weather?

[nacra99]

Well, I figure i'll take the tops off and have a fan going together with the vent turned on.
Or as a backup, i have the electricals set up so that i have an outlet in the corner that will accomodate a portable AC unit.

Sorry I've been goon should have seen this earlier and told you that green rock is still available at Stahlman lumber of. Sorry to break it to you and it is much cheaper than purple rock

How did your tank temps do during this cold snap?
