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

Wow great Jesse.

Looking good Jesse, i cant wait to see it done!!, keep us post it!.

Good start! What are the weather extremes in Riverside?

will that hold those tanks and more when they are filled and stocked??
riverside isnt that bad!! although durnig august and september it gets up to like 100 degrees!

Wow... nice Jesse!!!! Keep us updated

Cool! Where at in Riverside are you? Need some fish to stock you'r tanks? PM me and I'll hook you up. I'll put up pics soon of mine. As for Riverside, its been about 96-100 dgrs. for the last week or so. Summer is just starting here.

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

.....niccceeeee...... lol

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.

thanks bristlenose i will get on the insulation part before i plum and fill all my tanks did you use the regular fiberglass insulation or what did u use and i assume the strofoam on the garage door

i dont plan on using as many heaters as i have tanks most likely just 1 possibly 2 in the sumps

It's looking good, Jesse. Can't wait to see new pics as it progresses and, especially, the finished setup!

thank you i just added a 60 gal to that and i also filled one tank up for my jewel fry i ordered my tanks monday should have them by friday of next week and all plumbed in and running by next weekend i will definetly keep everyone posted i need to find some breeding pairs of dwarf cichlids to fill the tanks

Get a space heater and don't use any tank heaters, that's what I do in winter. I only run 3-4 heaters in all of my 31 tanks. Space heaters are sooooo much safer and they end up using much less electric!

I just used regular fiberglass bats for the walls and had the ceiling blown. All my outlets are ground fault in case something gets wet. Styro will work fine on the door. My garage door seals up pretty tight so I don't have much air infiltration from outside. Summer seems more difficult than winter to control temps to me.

Nice job !!!
