Works stopped on fish house

[JoePlec]

Stuck for a little bit waiting for my mate to make my racking.

But thought id stick a pic up, bit boring but this is where i am now.

While you are waiting, why not do the eletrics, install the air ring if you are using air and other such jobs ?

[JoePlec]

theres not a lot needed electrics wise. its basically done apart from plugging in a few 4 ways. as for the air pump im mounting it high and wont be able to run airline until i have racks in place with tanks on racking is getting tied in with the wall supports. I have one more job i can do and thats lay the lino

[PeterUK]

Not an air line . . An AIR RING.

Fit it all the way round the top of the wall or to the ceiling and plumb the airpump into it, then just add a tap where you want the airline to drop to.

My air ring.













Airline drops are Top left of photo and on the right by the sockets

[JoePlec]

yeah wont be running it like that. because its such a small space its not worth it. it will just a splitter straight from the airpump and then single airlines to each tank it will work out cheaper and easier, also i wont need to tap in for more lines because ill have spare taps.

[JoePlec]

Laid the LINO today, still waiting for the racking to be made.

[JoePlec]

Apparently racking is getting done tomorrow WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO haha

[MattP]

Nice one Joe, get some piccy's up when it's done. I will be attempting a similar project next year in quite a confined space and would be interested in how you set it all up.

Cheers Matt

[JoePlec]

No problems Matt, Hopefully racking will be finished tonight.

[JoePlec]

Racking is all in place. I will take a photo later. I have to cut ply to go on top of the racking, then can start filling tanks.

[JoePlec]

Could get more racking in than i thought so need a couple more tanks haha

[MattP]

Looks great Joe, good work! You've made good use of the space you've got. What's going in to all these tanks then?

Cheers Matt

[JoePlec]

Well the top tank on the back wall is going to be my own show tank because i dont have fish tanks in the house. The one under that is going to be a growing out tank, im thinking of splitting the other 4 tanks on the top which are all 30x12x15h and breeding plecs, corys and dwarf cichlids in them. Not decided what to do in the 4ft yet, Ive got 4 light units waiting to be wired in 2 on the top above the sides and 2 under the top tanks at the sides, Im tryin to get hold of some polycarbonate twin wall sheet. It cuts with a stanley knife and is 10mm thick (great insulation its also see through so im going to make condensation trays out of it. All tanks will be 3/4"-1" sand decoration will be smooth rocks and bogwood.
If you look in the picture the left hand rack is shorter than the right hand rack this is because i am building a cupboard to house all the electrics and keep food and treatments etc in.

[JoePlec]

Nearly finished.

Maybe a few pic's when you get a few of the tanks set up.
