Fishlips fishroom build

Hi guys

I officially started with the fishroom build today.

Not much but its a start i suppose.

Im first starting with insulation.




Have to continue tomorow or when i find more glue.

 

Howzit,

Looking good, lekker start! Keep those images coming.:bigsmile:

 

Will be a good thread to follow....

 

Right, i planned ahead of time.
These images arent mine.


Will be building these stands for my fishroom.
Found this image on google images.


Will probably use a pump like this for my central air system.
Any inputs or comment is welcome regarding this air pump.

This is a pic of Howards pump.

 

Thanks @Reedfish. It will be stretched out over time though

 

Nope, not at all. But the basic should be done in a week or 2.

 

Looking forward to this.
I just wish I had the space and funding to attempt something like this as well.
As it is I am pretty much maxed out with 5 tanks in my office and 1 in the lounge.

 

Lol i dont really have much funds, but im going to be creative about it lol

 

What kind of filtration are you planning to use? With a central air system, you could use sponge wall filters. But they need to be supported with frequent water changes. Which is the other thing to think of. It would make your life much, much easier if every tank is drilled and fitted with an outlet valve, which you can then combine into a header that runs out to the drain or into a collection system for your garden (be water-wise!). The alternative would be to use a submersible pump, and pump out tanks individually, which is very time-consuming, but perhaps more precise. The water supply would be much easier if you have a Jojo or similar, elevated above your tanks, where you can treat and age the water in bulk, then have a header with individual tie-offs to each tank.

Anyway, good luck and enjoy the project! I wish I had the time and space to do something similar. Maybe one day...

 

what do you use for insulation?

 

@dorff im planning on using sponge filters. I will also be using a water tank to treat water and just keep it full.

 

Lol 2 weeks for insulation i ment...a while to get everything running... didnt even buy tanks yet haha

 

Already hitting 23 degrees in the room

 

Awesome not sure if I have seen similar threads before? Glad to see this one Fishlips, keep the pictures popping
