    just the framing of it and a few tanks im going to plumb in somewhere

    here are some new pics of the fish room up and running






    New room divider (updated pictures)


















    the finished project











    All tanks are up and running either on a sponge filter or running thru a sump and uv sterilizer just a few tanks are empty mainly 10g fry tanks

    10g tanks= 12
    20g tanks= 6
    25g tanks= 2
    30g tanks= 4
    37g tall= 1
    40g tanks= 1
    60g tanks= 5
    120g divided= 1

    I could not have done this without the help from the members here at usa fish box this fish room is far from over as everyday i am either adding or moving fish and tanks as well


    Thank you all for your help and advise
    jesse

    i still need to add some supports and braces but evrything is done by a very good framer and he knows the weight distribution as you can see its all tied into 4x4 post it will hold 4 55 gallon tanks and a few smaller ones to hold my fry im designing some new racks for the breeding tanks and for the weather out here its really hot like 100 degrees and up as for keeping everything cool im going to put a portable ac unit under the bottom shelf to keep the sump filters cool in the summer time unless someone has a better idea and im in riverside county the actual town i live in is menifee more pics to come when my tanks get here im gonna start the plumbing this weeken or sooner i will keep u updated

    Throw some insulation in that wall and in the garage door. It is way easier and cheaper to heat/cool the room versus heaters in each tank. I have 40 tanks in a single bay of my garage and it works fine this way. Tank heaters in that quantity are just asking for trouble due to their failure rate. I have a portable A/C unit that is needed for a few months in summer and a dehumidifier that provides plenty of heat in winter.
