New Fish Room from Winterpeg with 250G

[Scythanith]

I'd just build out a 1"x1" frame around it and drywall around it. Unless you need access to it. In that case make the 1"x1" frame and skin it in painted wood or something and screw it to the wall in a manner that it would be removed if need be. If that's not the case, I'd drywall it in.

Just imagine building a 3-sided frame to fit over that whole mess. The 1x1 is just a place to screw the drywall to. Then It's all hidden. Essentially a continuation of what's already there.

Thanks for this but it will push 2 feet into the tank. I wish I could do that

Well do a modification of this and put a heavy slant on the tank side of things? I'd worry that pipe would just corrode super quick with the amount of moisture in the area.

Looking good! I agree with SFU, you should do something to cover the pipes up. If not for corrosion resistance, just for the sake that you will see it as an eyesore! And once you get water in that tank you won't want to do any drywalling over it.

I know but just have to figure a solution out so I don't loose space inside the tanks area...

It's been a while sense a post.

1. Room is painted
2. We figured out a solution for covering the pipes. I have started to use foam to seal them up. It will taken some time to build it up. Then I will trim it down and apply drywall mud over it and paint it. Should workout nice.

I do have one question of someone can answer this.

On the the top of the tank I have my euro bracing and above that is my frame for the wall.

There is a gap around 1/4 to 1/2 inch. The lenght of the tank.If I can seal this then the wood will not be attacked by years of salt and water damage.

Thanks

What should I use. Caulking or silicone and what kind.

Instead of sealing it you may find it better in the long run to just block the gap with some sort of U-shaped plastic channel. That would be far less permanent if you ever had to get in there again.

Hmm.
Like the idea but not really sure what I need to get in there for..

It's just glass and wood....

Just want to stop water and salt creep

Here is a pic.

Again will caulk affect the tank and over time of my basement moves will caulk cause my tank Crack due to no elasticity..

Or should i use silicon

Here are some pics of space (7 feet long) and caulk

Tank update

I put foam all around my pipes in corner. Now to get some drywall mud and put it on it to look decent.

This is the only thing we could come up with.
