New turtle/fish room construction (500g pond)

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I love following these threads. Keep the updates and pics coming
 
Sorry for the lack of updates. I've just been doing a whole lot of sanding.

Its my first time doing this so I'm learning on the job. :)

 
Did some more sanding and finally started painting. :) :) :)

Next step is the suspended ceiling. I'm gonna need my dad's help so that's gonna have to wait for 2 weeks. He's out of the country.

Meanwhile, I'll start working taking apart the old pond and build the new one. :)



 
Last night I moved everybody into their temporary home. I better start working on that new pond because there isn't enough space in there for these guys. :irked:
 
holy daily water change. hurry up and build, doesnt take as long as you think.
 
I worked for 5 hours last night to take apart the old filter and clean the liner. I still have about 2 inches of water to take out the old pond somehow because I can take it apart and rebuild it.
 
Time to build the pond. I had to cut down the walls of the old pond to a little over half their old size. It was fairly easy.

The tough part was to move everything inside the room.

It was a tight fit...



We started with the back wall then the sides.


Then we moved in the front wall.


This is everything done and bolted/screwed together.


This is a preview of what the future live webcam is going to show. :naughty:
 
Looks nice!
