The New Stingray Room

[Raymann88]

We recently moved to a new home and after unpacking and getting settled in, I decided to turn our entire furnace room into a stingray room. After setting up shelving for storage, I took the shelving down (that I just put up) and re-arranged my tanks to make room for 2 more 400 gallon tanks.

Draining tanks to move around



Using 120 Gallon to keep filters circulating while moving. Rays are in the tubs. Arowana in the tub with the milk jugs on it.



Air Sled Comes in Handy!



Building the bases for the new stands






Just need to get some 1" foam and 1/4" plywood tomorrow to lay down on top of the stand before the first tank comes on Wednesday. Glass tank weighing almost 600 lbs. Should be fun getting down the stairs - I hope it fits!!
Anyone available to stop by Wednesday night??
I haven't finished building the second stand as it will be in the way of bringing the first tank in. Hoping to get it on Friday.

I know - been too busy working on a fish room. Once i get the fishroom done I have to do something with the stuff I took off the shelving that is now piled in the middle of the basement family room.

Fishroom first - gotta get the priorities straight!

Hi Mike.
Looks like a lot of work but well worth the effort.
Tanks you have moved in already look pristine! and the occupants look settled, love your blackies, they are at a distance on pics but you can see the size of their spots..quality rays!
Good luck with the project, and keep us all up to speed with its progress.
Interesting thread!
