i have been anticipating this for months, i finally get to set up my fish room, i will be going over my entire expieriance building, setting up and running my fish room.

i will be moving down a few set up tanks from upstairs.
29 gallon comunity
20 gallon livebearer babie tank
20 gallon crayfish tank
10 gallon brackish
6 gallon neon tetra
5 gallon female betta


i will be setting up.
90 gallon tank
46 gallon bow front
40 gallon long
29 gallon.


i am setting up my fist fish room so this is a learning expireance for me and you.


for the 90 gallon i plan on discus, cardnal tetras, and cory cats.

for some other tanks i want to do breeding and i may do gouramis for breeding,

i may sett up my 40 long with, gouramis, zebra loaches and mayby some other fish from that area.

i would love your input and advice,

i am seting up a shelving system out of cinder blocks and 2x4s, i got the idea from andy sager.

Where in your place are you putting the fish room? A basment or out building or? What are you doing about electric? That's always an issue for me.

We want pics of the process!

Following with much interest.
I've always imagined a fish room to be bit like a fish shop, rows of bare tanks, but where the fish are the only interest. Are you planning a strictly functional room or will you be adding plants and decor. Having different tank shapes and sizes will break up the fish shop look.
Have you drawn up a plan that you can photograph and post. It would be interesting to look at your ideas.
I am actually quite envious ?.

it will be having plants, plants and rocks are my decor, i enjoy the fish but i think they look even better in a plant with sand, rocks and live plants. Who agrees with me?

this is a basement and i'm good for power. i will post pictures soon, i have it set up so i will have room for more tanks if i get them. i will have tanks in during thanksgiving break. or should i say TANKSgiving break.

Wholeheartedly agree. I've tried pieces of decor I thought would look nice but in the end I'm always back at ground zero with sand, wood, plants, and rocks.

Same here. I'm at the point where I actively loathe "decor". Ask my wife what happened to the "Beware of Jaws" sign that was in her family's 10 gallon when we took it over.... Give me sand, plants, rocks and driftwood!

 

[livefishguy124]

well i have a few pieces of decor, i have a large castle, i got as a reward, i may not use it it takes up so much room, but i have 2 pieces of decor i love, both are only like 4 or 5 inches and one is a army jeep and the other is a submarine, the sub has little holes and it is so cool to see the little fish poking their heads out of the holes, i may have a picture i will post if i have it, but my main decor is plants, rocks and wood.

 

[livefishguy124]

the weirdest thing happened, i have a aquaclear 70 i bought at auction a few months ago, it hasn't worked, but i left it plugged in and 1 day it just started sucking up water for no reason? weird

 

[ImACoolguy]

It might have been jammed. Try removing and cleaning the impeller?

her is the room now

Ok so which is the final colors? Love the purple. Don't forget to have a white space somewhere to take pics for sales fish.
