Help with fish room walls!

[jlfalin]

So I am currently in the process of setting up my 475g tank with a full fish room. I have been slowly framing the walls as I have time and I am almost done. Since the aquarium was delivered recently I put vapor barrier up on that wall and then had them put the aquarium in place. I am currently rethinking the front wall of the room where the aquarium sits. Do you guys think that the vapor barrier over the inside 2x4's with the seams and staple holes taped are adequate for both the wall the aquarium is against and the rest of the room? I am trying to avoid any water damage/water splash getting on surfaces that could mold. I am also trying to protect from the humid environment. The reason I ask, the aquarium and stand are ~1000-1500lbs empty so it is difficult to move back and work on the wall. The rest of the room I was considering green board and frp to make it as water resistant as possible. I will also have a room vent for the room and a dehumidifier. Any thoughts on just using vapor barrier. If not what else would you do? If you have a fish room what are on your walls?
Thanks in advance!

Take the time to move the tank and stand and cover the walls with FRP.I cover my fishroom walls with this. It is cheaper than the frp, but serves the same purpose.

Also could consider making the tank more of an island, with room behind it to get there if needed.

+ 10 on this, my 125 in the living room has salt creep going down the back glass I cant remove cause I set the tank very close to the wall (like 1/2")

The tank is in a fish room and is accessible from all 4 sides. My main concert is the wall just beside, below and above the aquarium. The back side of the wall the tank is built into is my biggest concern. Do you think vapor barrier is enough to keep it safe or would you drywall/FRP it?

I went with a vent fan, so far so good

If your not done closing in the walls and ceiling, try for the exhaust fan. I think with a tank that size you will look back and be glad you did
