My new fish room with some pics

The new box
There might be enough wiring involved in this project to stretch around the world because my main line comes in at the garage which happens to be the furthest place from the new room. On the up side, I have lots of independent circuits to play with. On the down side, I can't stop thinking about my meter spinning out of control. More about how it's all utilized to come.

Thats one thing most people don't even think about when building somthing of that magnatude, the utility bill. Looks great, keep up the good work.
Doin' the drywall shuffle
This shows the main reason why I went for more windows. The light shines in from east to west as the day goes by. perfect for triggering fish spawning all over the place (I hope).
You are also viewing another mistake that I made. If you are building a fish room do not use regular drywall. Use this instead. http://homerenovations.about.com/od/wallsandtrim/a/artgreenboard.htm
I did not know about 'greenboard' until it was too late. Much better choice for fending off moisture. I'll have a dehumidifier but my room will likely wind up being a giant mold spore anyway regardless of the fact that I put several coats of paint on it. Today was a great day. Lots of much needed plumbing done! Me happy and feeling closer to drip system paradise.
