Future Fish Room Update!

Here is a photo of the new fish room in our new house. They have started constructing that part now. It's not going to be used only for a fish room, but I'm calling it that =)

Our original goal was to get a 240 in wall on the left hand side... but that's not going to happen right now. Maybe eventually...

It would be so much easier to plan for it now though - instead of having to tear it down later just to make room for an in-wall.

Oooo - idea! Instead of an in-wall, how about just a "WALL TANK"! Just going along with melev's idea.....

It's planned for, that's what that space is for. Nothing to tear down except to cut the hole.. and the builder wouldn't leave a whole in the wall bc it wouldn't pass inspection. We have a dedicated circuit run to the spot.

Wall Tank would be awesome! =)
 
Yea they could do that or put a "panel" up but they wanted an absurd amount of money to do it so we passed on it.
 
Then don't worry about it. You can buy your own SawsAll and go to town as soon as they are done. :D
 
I couldnt get them to make me an office for my house. That was the original plan have them make an office and one day I cut ahole in it. trust me it is easier than making a hole room in your house. too much dust. That is a nice size fish room. I would just try and get some plumbing and electrical.

I know some GC's can be a pain in the butt. They almost ripped out all my data and speaker wires that I ran extra in the house wile they were building. I was lucky and got the to keep all the low voltage stuff.

That 1000 gallons sounds nice.hahahhah

Thanks! The electrical will be there it's going to have it's own circuit. I also had them install greenboard on the wall it will be on to help with the mold/humidity. The only thing that won't be done is the actual hole. My bf rehabs houses, he knows how to do that stuff so it won't be a big deal for us to do. It's going to be a long time from now, if ever so I wouldn't have done it anyway through the builder.

Maybe one day =)

Sounds like your builder doesn't like variations ;)

It's not hard to frame out and gyprock over the hole to pass final inspections.

How are the inhabitants of your tank going?, I know your not doing much, just curious about ocean and the others.

Cheers

I mean the 240g isn't going to happen right now bc of the cost... so we are trying to figure out what to do. I can't keep Ocean in a 75g forever, and it's stupid to buy a 120g then get rid of it in a few years for the 240g.. so at this point I don't even know what to do!

Ocean is doing great thanks! =) The only problem I have had with my 75 is my six line disappeared. I don't know if he died, or he's just been hiding.. hard to see through all of the coraline. I am waiting until I have WC water available then I am going to scrape it all off and work on it. Once I do I'll post some new photos.

My zoas are spreading like crazy.. as are my mushrooms. They are everywhere. I lost my pinks birdsnest, the bleaching was just too much for it to come back from I guess. My clowns now host the RBTA.

My mandarin now eats sinking pellet food... so he's incredibly fat! After all that trouble to get the pods going.. he likes pellets lol.

Thanks for asking!
