patrick Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi everyone. I have been working alot on our new fishroom lately and it's about time to show how it's progressing. Since our basement is unfinished I wanted to cover the walls with something. I picked up some 4'x8' "light oak" wood panels at Co-op. Liquidation sale $3.99 each! Turned out pretty good Here I am setting up the foundation and bottom frame. I spent a considerable amount of time making sure everything was absolutely 100% level. The various frame pieces are being put together Frame is ready! Sideview of the frame Level! Frame has been attached to the bottom frame and ceiling, shelves put in place. Left to do now is light fixtures and then the tanks themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrick Posted January 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) I am picking up the tanks on tuesday I have also installed two GFCI plugs above the racks in the ceiling. The electrician is coming to hook them up to the panel on monday. Each will get their own breaker.

NatureNut Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 What a great setup! Can't wait to see it fully loaded! Maybe in 18 years when my kids are out of the house one of our rooms will be converted. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First fish to go in one of the new tanks is a group of 1 male 3 female WC Aulonocara stuartgranti "Maulana Bicolor 500" that I have ordered from Spencer Jack. First Malawi in many many years :thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
