Figured I would post this here since this is an on going project that me and my buddy are currently working on. Just moved into this house 4 days ago. Haven't even finished unpacking and already starting on the fish/reptile room.
5 - 20 gallon tanks.
Snake racks
30 gallon and 20 gallon currently with fish.
Now onto more pictures of the 5 breeder tanks. I plan to face the entire stand with plywood to hide the concrete block and to give it a more finished look. Under the tanks will be where my sump will go. Tomorrow I plan to pickup pvc pipe, bulkheads, foam (for under the tanks), and sump materials.
Lighting for the tank will be a bit different. I took the fixture out of one of those tracing tables. Very very bright. Had a 6 bulb setup in it. Cutting the fixture apart to seperate all the bulbs. For this setup 1 bulb per tank will be plenty. Once done they will fit perfectly between the 2x4 of the shelf above each tank.
Lighting fixture we are cutting up.
Here is a video walk through of the room as it currently is. Mind you we just moved in 4 days ago. The bins with the slide out rubbermaid drawers are the snake rack. Each bin has a snake in it.
