The top row will be all outlets and below will be switchs to control the outlet above it. 23 outlets 23 switchs.

And thats were im at, next step will be painting replacing the basement window in the fishroom, putiing in drop ceiling in fishroom, building stand.

Ludi looks great! Lots of thought put into your fishroom, I love all the outlets and breaker box, it'd make life soo much easier! Look forward to more updates.

 

[ludiNano]

Thank you keyser, i hadnt originaly planned for so many outlets but i figured once i got the drywall up it would be a pain to add more later. I added the boxes for the switchs the day before my electrician was coming over. I just thought a switch for each outlet would be easier than unpluging a bunch of cords for WC and other maintenance. My electrician said it was the most outlets he's put in a 10 x 10 room.

My electrician said it was the most outlets he's put in a 10 x 10 room.

HAHAHA Probably thought he was helping wire up your grow up:worried2:

Have you got any updates for us?!

 

[ludiNano]

Got the fishroom and rest of the new dry wall in basement all primed with 2 coats of kilz latex2. I should be getting the paint for final coat next week. Gonna go with a high gloss white shade for the fishroom. I'm a couple months out on getting window and drop ceiling done, had to do a bunch of unplanned auto work that set me back.

Here's how the fish room turned out.

[ludiNano]

Thank you for following along. Go ahead and subscribe to the link at the top I'm better at updating that thread and go into much more detail on what I'm planning.

Made a sketch-up of my stand/ fishroom. The tank is built to hold my current 60 x 18 x 25'' tank, and will be able to hold an upgraded tank 72 x 36 x 25'' 280g tank. A 280 is as large as i could go without going wider or taller, and the length can only be a max of 72''. I figured down the road when the unevitable urge to upgrade came, i could just take old tank off and put bigger one on.

The stand hieght will be 41'' when i put 2 layers of 3/4'' plywood down.
