Begining of my fish room.

Looks great. I also LOVE the dimensions of that big acrylic tank. This is the thermostat I use to heat my reptile/fish room. http://www.reptilebasics.com/Johnson-Controls-Thermostat-Pre-Wired-p-16178.html It works really well for me. It's not proportional, meaning it doesn't control how much electricity your heater gets to hold a steady temperature. Instead, when the temp hits the pre-programmed temp, it just shuts everything off. Proportional is nice, but more expensive. The ONLY problem I have with this thermostat is that in February my 1500 watt heater tripped the safety switch in the power strip attached to the thermostat. But, that was on the coldest days of the year (right around -15) in a room that is completely unheated except for that space heater, and I use that heater to heat a room to 82 degrees. I would ask the company to wire in a different power strip if I were to buy another one, or you can buy it un-wired and wire it yourself (couple bucks cheaper but not really worth the hassle).
Awesome. I'm really gonna have to look into getting one of these soon. Just being away today fish shopping, my room went from 80s, to 90, cause the heater didnt turn itself off. It seems the thermostat doesnt work at all.
My air pump finally arrived, it was holding me back. My other blower was just too overkill for what i am doing.
Sponges should arrive tomorrow or the next day. I'll get some pics soon I hope. I have the mother in law staying. Been here for about 3 weeks. 1 more week and I'm free to go back to the fish room.

Yeah, theres lots to learn about fish rooms. Tonight I'm gonna try and put a shelf near my ceiling. So that I can mount the new air pump up there. It'll eliminate the need for check valves. and It'll pull the hottest air in the room down, and put it into tanks.
Small update, only cause I promised pictures!
Pic of the shelf with new air pump
Pic of the 6 foot stand. Still missing 2 15 gallon tanks.
Pic of the Humidity 44% spilled water yesterday
Stack of tanks/stuff that is in the middle of the floor at the moment.
Part of the reason this build is going so slow, Had to save this Iridescent shark. Yes... that is his bone sticking out of his pectoral fin. He was in a 125g. He's 22 inches. Eyes all clouded up. He's doing better now, still recovering though.
