Perfect, thanks. That gives me a starting point.
You're tank looks really good the way its laid out and maintained.

LOL, i know... right?
We just built a room in the garage last month and even my wife said, "I can't believe this isn't a fish room".
I sort of figured you had something else to keep you busy with both health and elbow grease. Looks really good.

The Radions no longer use the large white power supplies, and have switched to 7"x3" black bricks.
You can see the three of them mounted to the board between the Vectra controller and the battery backup.
This was a WELCOME change for sure.
Sorry if I missed it but what size cable raceway did you end up buying?

I briefly thought about Titan... but couldn't do it.

I actually have the Titan (r3 clone). It's not terrible. You can definitely see the difference between paint and powder coat. Mine is one of the more recent ones with cleaner welds. If I were in the 500-1000# squatting category, I'd absolutely go with rogue, or something more commercial quality. But that definitely wasn't in the budget. Anyhow. I digress. Clean looking gym you've got there. Wish the HOA in my area would approve something like that.

It's a shed with 3/4" T&G plywood subflooring over 2x6 joists.
I was worried about the heavy weights, especially if dropped so I put down a whole second layer of the 3/4" T&G subflooring. Then some red rosin paper just to help with any moisture. Then what you're probably really asking about, the top layer is 1/2" rubber rolls from rubberflooringinc.com
It's their "quick ship" option (just a few colors to choose from). First was thinking of going with stall mats due to the low cost and 3/4" thickness. But I felt all the seams were going to bother me. And I liked the idea of having the fleck to help hide dirt. Even with the fleck, I keep my shoes in the gym and have door mat for anyone else to wipe their feet before walking in. lol
And the 1/2 ended up being a good choice. This stuff is dense. And heavy as heck. It took three 20'+ rolls and they probably weighed about 200 lbs a piece. It's funny how the rubber reacts in different temps. Below 50 degrees, it shrinks. I see major seams. In warmer temps, it seals up tight. Can't even find the seams. And cleaning it is a breeze. Damp mop with some vinegar mixed in the water.
Ya, I went back and forth but then decided that it was worth the extra few hundred bucks for my OCD and knowing I'd always be thinking "what if". lol
Only thing that sucked was I got this whole idea in my head right AFTER thanksgiving so I missed all the BF sales which would have save me a bunch. I ended up having to pay both tax and shipping on top of it. But I ordered a TON from Rogue all at once so at least the shipping got combined. My UPS guy must have been like :eek2: :headwalls: LOL

Yeah, who cares about your subflooring? :lmao:
Perfect. Thanks. I couldn't see any seams, so it almost looked like you epoxied the whole thing.
