A new Fishroom

[severum1]

So i'm helping in the construction of a new fishroom.

It's a small space, 260x32cm, but it'll be enough for the purpose. The objective is to maintain some new fishes received from exports and quarantine them.

This is the space

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/alberto_gil/P1010364_50.jpg

As you can see it’s in very good shape :ROFL:

[severum1]

My idea is doing something like this

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/alberto_gil/fishroom2.jpg

This one is the wall on the top

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/alberto_gil/fishroom1.jpg

Do you understand something?

[severum1]

Now is already broken :D

On the floor the hole is already open do the water canalization

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/alberto_gil/DSC06551.jpg

The walls already starting to take form.

[AFRO-thunder]

looking very nice. Does this room have a concrete ceiling or will it be kind of a glass house?

[cbarnes1987]

cooool!

[watnazn]

I really want to see this finished, I want to know what you will do with it. Looks very nice so far.

[AQUAX13]

very cool project.

[SuperDave]

Looking good, keep up the hard work!

[severum1]

looking very nice. Does this room have a concrete ceiling or will it be kind of a glass house?

I'm going to use a ceiling that we call sandwich panel. It as 2 blades and in the midle as something to isolate.

I don't know the name but i'm going to search in the inetrnet.

It's something like this

[Davey_8313]

Looks good so far man, can't wait to see it finished. Love the built-in sewer...

[jeff@zina.com]

This is very interesting. I love some of the ideas that you have, which probably would be against building codes here in the US. :)

Jeff

[AFRO-thunder]

great progress

mr.reef24

[djarmstrong]

Looking good , coming along very nicely . :)

[John7429]

very impressive!!!!

[snow]

looks good!

[Nemesis]

Nice..Just building a tank just wasn't enough for you huh, you had to build the whole damn room. Great progression.

[EdzCatingub]

thats great...
can't wait til its finish...

[wow_it_esploded]

I LOVE it! Having water lines right there will make water changes easy-breezy! What do you plan on for filtration? I would, personally, do all sponge filters and run a central air system. Because you are so good at building things the central air pump could be run outside with a covering and enclosure to help reduce noise in the room itself. Just make sure to keep the pump off the ground for rainwater purposes.

This will really come out fantastic I think. The tiles on the walls are something I haven't ever seen and I really like them.

Is the metal in the ground for drainage?

[andy1]

i have so much respect for people that can visualize something, and actually do it. props to you. *claps

[Redearsunfish]

Cool!

[Thalan]

Very nice. Between this and your greenhouse you've got some legendary setups.

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee24/alberto_gil/DSC07107.jpg

Now i must start thinking in building the tanks

[severum1]

Thank you all.

wow_it_esploded thank you for your input.

I don't think that i'm going to use a air system. The system that i'm going to use for aeration is the same that i use at my home. Only water fall. This aerate very well the water. it can be a bit noisy but there are several ways to minimize that ;)

At the bottom i'm going to build 3 sumps. One in each wall. Middle level and uper level will be for the fish tanks.

It's not ot big but it will be enought for the purposes, i hope.

Regards

[severum1]

[KoiGorgon]

Beautiful and professional looking for sure. Mad props.

Are you going with some kind of central filtering system for all the tanks?

[troybernard]

Looking good. Nice size tanks too.

[Shive]

Wow! Awesome room, and the tanks look great. Can't wait to see them up and running. :)

[Muni]

Are you going with some kind of central filtering system for all the tanks?


He mentioned that he's using a 55 gallon sump on the bottom row of each wall. That would be interesting to see once it's all plumbed.


I think his top tanks are about 110-125 from the looks of them. I don't know metric tank sizes very well.

[severum1]

The plumbing as started

This 4 tanks have 2 x 150*80*50cm = 600lt each and 2 x 130*80*50cm = 520lt each

[evojoey]

Awesome. Can't wait to see them filled.

[severum1]

Now, how should i heat the aqua?

IS better to heat the air, because it's not a big area, or to heat the water?

What do you think? I need some cool ideas to do this.

i think you should def heat the water. the temp of the water will keep the room a suitable temp.

x2 Water holds heat better than the air anyways.

And your set-up is just sickenly sweet. You've got a real dream building there!

[Gobrian44]

wow....very smart...well if its a trickle down theory like i believe it is....i'd say put a heater in the sump if there is room or at the tube where the water hits the first tank....i think sump could but the best....GREAT JOB....never would have thought to do the central sump tank

[Drew_H2o]

Dude, that's just awesome! I wish I could do something like this but you know.. the whole time/money thing.

[nolapete]

I'd try to keep the ambient temp of the room stable and heat the water. Both won't have to work as hard to maintain temperature and you have redundancy.

Beautiful set up.

Find a good Titanium heater for each sump and you should be good to go. That much water will keep the room warm too.

[wizardslovak]

niceee
any idea what will you stock them with ?

[severum1]

Thank you for your ideas.

I think i'm going to try both ways.

I'm going to buy a good water heater and perhaps something to heat the air, to help a bit.

[severum1]

niceee

I think that they will house a lot of diferent things.

Starting with cichlids, african and american. Some rays ;) and some aro. And a lot of other things :D

[Muni]

Did you get anywhere with your heater setup?

I'd recommend something like this

One for each set of tanks. Having the controller remote means you can mount one controller for each set of tanks so you can keep each set at different temperatures for different types of fish.


I'm getting one of the 800 watt heaters for my 300 gallon I think.

x2, these titanium heaters with the controllers are amazing and really reliable.

[severum1]

Thank you all.

Ohhhhh YES. It works very well. But in tis case i can't use nothing similar because the fishroom is in the midle of buildingsso the sun isn't enough :(

[severum1]

What do you think of something like this http://www.elecro.co.uk/index.asp?docid=52

[loureyes]

OMG!!!!!!! This is 1 of the coolest threads....... Keep up the good work turned nothin into somethin!!!!!!!

[Lambrakopoulos]

The best part about fish keeping is all the hard work, time and effort. And watch all of it bloom into something amazing, I have to say there's no other satisfaction. Very nice.

[Mirko]

Any updates to the project?

[kjfan1]

I am super jealous!

[kingyella]

glad somebody bump this, great build.

[bmxer4ever]

Fantastic job, so well thought out, the design will make operating all those tanks in such a tight space so much easier.
Respect due.

[JonF]

VERY nice!!

[kjfan1]

Come on! more pictures!

[bmxer4ever]

:popcorn:

[severum1]

:D

It's not finished yet.

I have made a heating system with a heater from a washing machine :D

And i hope that today first fishes will be inside new tanks :D

Tomorrow i'll try to update with pics.

Thanks

After reading this thread, I've started on your Greenhouse story. I'm still at 2008! Got a bit more reading to do - long thread, but fascinating. Just got to the part where you're building wind turbine blades - loving it! let you know when I get to the end - don't tell me anything - enjoying the surprises!
Looking forward to seeing fish in the fishroom...

[turtlesrock]

i wish i had one....

[bmxer4ever]

i wish i had one....

Me too!
It would keep the girlfriend happy - no more wet floors in the house!
Mind you, she'd probably never see me - I'd be in the fishroom all the time!

[Raptorthefishman]

Awesome keep the pics coming so I can be more and more jealous. :P

[severum1]

So here are some pics from my lattest invention :D

Another crazy one, ehehehe

I used a heating system from a washing machine and a temperature controler all offered by 2 friends :D

With that i build a heating system for my aquas :D

The temperature controller

The controller let the heater work until the 28ºC. Over that he stops.

Now i'm going to build a box to put the heater inside to avoid any possible damages that may happen.

I can tell you it works very well and now i have a 2000W heating system, eheheheh

[BODYDUB]

What an awesome thread with a very professional look to your fish room. But what exactly are you going to be doing with the tanks???

[JT.]

subscribed!! :popcorn:

and yeah! what are you planning to do??

[severum1]

I'm going to put some flowers inside!!! :ROFL::ROFL:

No, i already have some fishes inside ;) that i received Columbia. They are in quarentine. When possible i will put some pics.

But fishroom is not ready yet :( There are still missing some tanks :(

[Valous]

Looks great and love the idea of using a washing machine heater.. I might have to keep that in mind if I ever get a monster tank or fish room. Keep up the good work.
