Faran Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Best of luck with building your fish room on a budget. I recommend spending some serious time planning out advanced plumbing systems for your tanks and water changes to make life easier. With a dedicated room this could be as simple as a drain in the floor or as complex as entirely automated water change systems. You may also want to spend a little more time dedicating that large empty space in the middle of the room for another rack of tanks (coming out from wall that currently has the display tank) as you'll want a higher water to air ratio in the room to keep it naturally warm and make the huge investment a worthwhile endeavor. My 3M x 3M room ended up costing me well over the price of a nice car (so far) and I'm still about $1000 of equipment away from being happy with it. At your age this means putting your desires for a car and independence on a back burner for a very very long time. What are your plans a few years from now? A local club member your age spent the better part of his time and money for a year building a little fish room in his garage and only got to use it for a few months before he moved out... leaving the whole thing behind. Not saying that wiill be your future but it's something to keep in mind even if you're an adult that doesn't own their own home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
