Msj's fishroom, before the rebuild

[msjinkzd]

Getting ready to completely redo the ole fishroom. Going to build two racks, 18'x8' to house a row of 55's, a row of 20 longs, a row of 30's, a row of 20's, a row of 29's and 10's squashed in where they fit. Also going to build a medical grade stainless tank with acrylic front viewing panels. This is the space I am working with. Hope to get started on the rebuild in the next few weeks (pumps, pvc, tubing, etc coming in in the next week).
I also have 5 tanks upstairs that are more "display" tanks.




















Also have a shipping station set up, but I don't seem to be able to locate the pictures of that. I will also have a seperate small rack to house my 75g and 60 breeder. Going to sell the 120g once the 6x4x3 is built.

Yea, mainly so its not so random and so that I can fit more tanks with less outlets. Going to have a large linear pump running sponge filters in most of the tanks (except the big boys, they get canisters for now). Also, by redoing it, I can use less light strips and hardwire them all to one panel which will have its own timer, more efficient that way. I am also hoping by having so many tanks close together, I will not need heaters in alot of the ones that just need to be about 76. Right now, i have 35 heaters, 30 lights, 20 filters, etc running. By redoing it and streamlining it, I should be able to cut my energy use in half. It will alos look hella nicer than a bunch of mis-matched random tan ks in no particular order.

damn thats a lot of electrical. this is a really good idea, if i ever put that many tanks in my fish room ima steal your idea for sure, it seems the most productive. i know at the store i work at we have something like a one half horsepower air pump running most of the air pumps and sponge filters in the store. it seems like a giant linear pump would be hella expensive.
