outdoor fish shed

[jamal]

Hi there.
Im in the thought process of making an outdoor fish shed and was looking for some advice/information/experience on regards to actually building the structure of the shed and how to go about insulating it due to me living in the uk with our winters.
Any advice is much appreciated!!

Let me dig up a link of a mate of mine. 1000g, insulated and heated in a shed at the bottom of the garden, My Tancho is currently living in this tropical oasis for the winter....

Forum upgrade caused all the pictures to be lost but to sum up.

Block built, bottom drain to easy pod, all walls insulted with boards, boxweld liner, covered with corex, 750watt heater.

All built into a shed, built from outside in.

I would think it would be like building a house.
make sure to insulate with temp. control electric box so it will handle the wattage
and if you are lucky have pluming for the water changes
love to see pics wen done good luck

You're definitely going to have to build it like a house. I would also suggest a concrete slab to put the structure on. If you're building it from the ground up, you have a lot of opportunity it build it with drainage, heating, and water supply that you wouldn't necessarily be able to retrofit.

Good luck!
