New turtle/fish room construction (500g pond)

Sorry for the lack of updates. I've just been doing a whole lot of sanding.

Its my first time doing this so I'm learning on the job.

Did some more sanding and finally started painting.

Next step is the suspended ceiling. I'm gonna need my dad's help so that's gonna have to wait for 2 weeks. He's out of the country.

Meanwhile, I'll start working taking apart the old pond and build the new one.

Last night I moved everybody into their temporary home. I better start working on that new pond because there isn't enough space in there for these guys.

I worked for 5 hours last night to take apart the old filter and clean the liner. I still have about 2 inches of water to take out the old pond somehow because I can take it apart and rebuild it.

Time to build the pond. I had to cut down the walls of the old pond to a little over half their old size. It was fairly easy.

The tough part was to move everything inside the room.

It was a tight fit...



We started with the back wall then the sides.


Then we moved in the front wall.


This is everything done and bolted/screwed together.
