a1foxes Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I've spent the last week or so building stands for as many tanks as my new fishroom will hold! Downside, though, have to keep them 2-3 ft away from the walls cause the drywall needs to be replaced due to flood damage. The landlord has stalled that project to the point I can't wait anymore, neither can the fish! Its way too crowded upstairs..... I threw together 2 units today, 1 to hold a 55 on the top and a 33 on the bottom. The other, is a 3 shelf unit, should hold 12 - 10 galls. I'm going to do another one to hold a 55 on top and 33 on the bottom, and need another one for a couple 20's and a few smaller shelves for betta jars. After that, I'll build what i think will fit! I had thought about having a bit of a fishroom party- nothing like a bunch of fishy people hanging around yakking about fish and drinking like one hahah.Any volunteers??? keep in mind, a 55 can hold most people, and i'm sure i could find a nice big pirahna to keep them in check. The biggest project- I need water hauled in! my well water sucks, its full of iron and its not easy to get it all out, so I have to bring my water from the city of calgary. I'll get maybe 1-2 tanks filled per day, tops, if that.....ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishManTy Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Get 10 camping water buckets (Blue with Pour spouts). Fill them up at a reefers in calgary here, and then drive them out and top them up. Or just buy those jugs they sell at safeway, and make many trips. Might get costly. Good thing about camping buckets... return them after you're done :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker69 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I picked up a 50 gallon plastic barrel from the local wine making supplier for $45. Get a couple to put in the fishroom and fill them up before you take the camping jugs back. If you have a truck and some way to unload them, such as laying them on their side and rolling out onto some old tires, then you can take them to the city and fill them. How you get them into the fishroom is another story, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vapor Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Sounds like quite the room. You'll have to get us some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
