starting a fish room

[tranced]

identical post on another forum but anyhoo

so im getting a bit sick of ramming fish into my sad 4 tank setup, and have decided a fish room is the way to go! and when the missus gets sick of it, then great excuse to get a shed i think. bahahah.

so here the current state of affairs, two 4x18x18 and two 3x18x18. boo



here the room i will be commandeering



got some serious work to do!!

Nice one Nico, What the plans fish wise?
Gonna stick to cichlids or moving onto something totally different?

[tranced]

definately goldfish!!!!!! bahaha maybe a few of those. some malawis, some tangs, dwarf cichlids, corys, gouramis....

[Aquatic Dreams]

Nice one.
Hey some of those Goldies you use to get out were pretty schmiko
Are you able to get some update pics of those?

[tranced]

most of them died in my pickle barrels of doom i got some pearlscale golfballs now...! they are pretty freakish!

[tranced]

well i finally got a rack up and running... one down, five to go!
this was my 'prototype' rack, the next one will be alot better. but i kind of had to just set one up to see what i could do better next time.

Looking good buddy.

You might want to contact Kinh on PCS he is selling a heap of stuff real cheap.

Awesome stuff Nico! I was waiting for when you started setting it up since I came and visited you and ya talkede through it!

Im jealous now, was happy with my 2 tiers all the way around my fish room but now you are making we want that third tier real bad!

[tranced]

im getting everything brand new, stands made by jason/scroogy and tanks from aquotix. im doing it a bit different to most people and working with space restrictions as its a small room, so unfortunately i cant really use second hand tanks. in fact once i get the first three racks in i will be either selling my existing tanks or throwing them outside to breed platys or something... lol. the floor space is really limited in this room so two tiers is just not enough!

i wouldnt mind those two ibcs kinh is selling tho just got no way to move the bloody things! oh well.

three tiers is nice but ... all the racks from now on will be FOUR tiers high!!!!!!!!!! it will literally be floor to ceiling tanks lol

[echotracer]

Haha, now that is just teasing! I forgot you said 4 tiers! Bastard!

Yeah I was just about to message kinh on his IBCs but noticed they already on hold

[tranced]

moved the old tanks n crap into the room. this will all be replaced when i can afford it.

[Aquatic Dreams]
