Hello there

Picture updates.... :spop:

Update :spop:

WOW just WOW

Worse than the Soprano's...

Any reason you prefer that type of piping? How would metal work? (I have been offered metal fittings/taps for free)

When is this happening? What is the best material for the pipe work? metal or plastic?

Nice plans!!!! :love:

Yeh basicy, but of late plants and loaches are also doing it for me a bit. So they will get a mention in the room. The idea of running a few different central systems is to play around with different types of fish, see what ones I like what ones I don't.

Yeh 3 big tanks in the house the rest out in the garage. The land lord is my father, so I have had several conversations regarding this and if there is a chance of him selling the house. No chance of the house being sold unless something very major happens. He is also helping to set up and build stuff when he is down. ( fingers crossed he may bank roll some of it as well) Room will be mainly for "display" or just kepping fish reasons no real desire to breed. Was thinking about running a small tank on the African system for anything that may breed/A mate wants something that I have.Other than that survival of the fittest. Henward, are you refering to Si or me?

WOW they are some cool videos. Yor tank is super dooper cool

Maybe I will put a beer fridge in a corner of the room to go with the couch :thup: thinking on the couch David

Thats exactly why I am not going t go for a single big tank, I did have a big think about it but decided to go the other way as there is lots of different fish that I want to keep and this is the only way. I will already have 3 display tanks (2 in the lounge, 1 in my office) in the house by the time this is done, so I don't think I need a big one in there as well. But things may change. Hard plumb is smart, and I agree with the hose going every where. The land lord has given me free licence on this project so I will definitly look ing to that. And as you say, do it once do it right is what I am applying to this

Was looking at 5% a day, I have not worked out exact number of litres per day as of yet. I didnt think of into the down pipe, great thinking thanks. I was thinking of into a drip irrigation into my garden, but watering the garden would mean I would need to regularly weed it, which isnt happening. Yes that would be amazing to have a tank that size... but it will not be happening in my room sadly. 6 foot tanks should surfice for me.....

Now I am doubting my temp readings. Can't wait to see the fish in that pool of a tank :spop:

Yeh I will be converting my current garage, waiting for the ute to be picked up so we can start the framing. Rough size will be 3.3m X 5m, concret floor, I have an aircon unit sorted out courtasy of Caryl (Thanks ), my flatmate is a builder so he will be doing the building and sorting the tank frames and other supplies. I am wanting to keep a variety of bigger tanks for bigger fish 5-6 foot tanks and then smaller tanks 2-4 foot for dwarf species. I like a variety in life, so the room isnt going to be for specific fish types, but I am planning on sump set ups for regional fish i.e Africans and Americans on a differnt sump system. Will also run a air compressor system into tanks on bubble filters as well. Looking at making the bigger tanks from ply and sticking with glass for the 1200 and under tanks.I have access to metal framing for the smaller 1200 tanks. This will depend on the cost, what ever is cheaper will be getting the green light. The water change is something that is doing my head in, I am going to ask my neighbour if I can dig into her yard to her drain as it is rite beside my garage. If she declines me, I don't know what the next step is yet. Basicly I am trying to get as much info from other people on mistakes that they have made. I am mulling over the questions of how many sockets to add, where to put and how to plumb the plumbing, how to use the corners of the room to the best advantage, do I need a work bench and a sink. Thats a super cool looking room you have designed, looks pretty high tech but I guess thats due to the marine sret up over fresh wate
