I have had my tank up for almost 6 years now and thought I would share some pictures. The tank has been moved twice because I was in an apartment between selling my old house and the completion of my new house.
My tank is a 175BF that used to be in my office in my previous house. About 1.5 years ago I built a custom home and had fun designing my fish tank room. I am finally in and just about every thing is done with the tank room.
The Tank is built into the wall of my office and it looks nice. I need to learn how to take better pictures because I am getting the reflection of the flash.
1) The room behind the tank has a recessed floor with a floor drain.
2) The walls are green board to protect from spills.
3) There is a sink in the room with two 32 gallon trash cans for top off and water changes.
4) I also included a humidistat and fan which kicks in when the humidity in the room goes above the percentage I select. The humidity is vented into my A/C return duct work so the A/C can withdraw the humidity.
5) Pumps, Lights, and chiller are all on separate circuits.
6) Half of my house is prewired for a backup generator including the Fish Tank room and AC/Hear for entire house. It is already on an automatic transfer switch. I am just waiting to get the 25kva generator.
I will include pics of the tank room very soon.
Equipment:
3x250 HQI 14k lights
Deltastar 1/3hp Chiller
Tunze 6100 stream
Tunze auto topoff
Tunze WaveBox
EuroReef Skimmer
Custom made sump plumbed with PVC for all connections.
Korallin calcium reactor with PH controller
I hope the pics turn out. I am posting a link to them. If you are asked for a username it is "fishtank" with no password
