I am in the process of installing split system inverter heat pump into my fish rooms is this the cheapest option avaliable to run 200 plus tanks as currently the powerbill is out of hand.

i am looking at running pump room on solar power. any info on building home made system would be much appreciated

most large south americans are good with oscars. eg. nics,jags,pearl cichlids.

In pic 11 its just a reflection from other tanks also in responce to tanksman the fishroom is the basement under the house

Ill be going down to Napier to the HBAS meeting this coming Wednesday while down there ill check out a couple of glass outlets to see if i can get hold of them

I will be looking at Uv Sterilizers for the breeding room only but not for the grow out tanks currently running two pond master 5Watt and 9Watt on some of the tanks only on for an hour a day at the moment

Question: Currently building a fishroom and needing to know where to get hold of glass hole drill bits, sizes 19 and 25mm for already made up tanks, as I am having trouble locating any in Gisborne. For 5mm to 10mm glass. Enough to do up to 150 tanks. Also any information on large filtration systems for a fish room containing up to 200 fish tanks of various sizes.
