Changing around the fish room

Recommended Posts

Thought i would share my new fish room design and progress pics.

The whole room will be run by 2 LP100s as each tank has air driven side drop filters.

Below is what i hope the room ends up like. I have one side up so far.

The first few racks, all built by James at Caramels fishy friends (sponsor),

And with tanks, all tanks built by Michael Ellis on the gold coast.

Nice one lloyd, how big are the tanks, 6x2x18 and the other row 4x2x18?

2 lp100's thats quite a bit of air. Are you going to pvc plumb the air around the room?

You probably dont need to in QLD but did you seal around the roller door gaps?

What do you plan on filling all that wonderful tank space with?

Good so see you have left yourself additional space for more tanks :p

Thanks Mate. The Row completed is 6 5x2x18s and 3 4x2x18s, the other side to be competed will be 6x2x18s.

I have plumbed PVC behind the first rack to get these tanks going, the plan is to create a circuit around the room, with one LP100 on each end, so if one fails the other will still work until i can replace the other.

Yes i have put seals around the roller door, im in ipswich, in winter we get 0 degree nights and summer gets 45 degree days so do not want any out side air in.

that is looking very pro, very jealous but giving me some great ideas for my next set up.

one question ill ask is how are you planing on plumbing the tanks for water changes will you drain each individual tank 1 by 1?

Thanks.

Each tank has a 25mm bulk head into a 25mm pvc pipe, i will drain each level at a time, i have connect the pvc pipe to a garden hose to water my lawn on each water change.

Yes i find the side drops far better than sponge filters. Can be filled with what ever media you like, and keep the water crystal clear.

Hey mate, I'd love to see a few front on shots of that plant tank in the middle row if you've got time to take some?
