Shop

[scarson61]

Hi all,

I've been very busy since the end of May building a shop for keeping my aquariums. I have a series of photos of the shop being built. I finished the shop about three weeks ago and have moved all the tanks from in the house to the shop outside and have plumbed my 155 gallon and got it online and filled this past weekend. I've plumbed my first set of three stackable 75 gallon aquariums and am hoping to get them online this weekend. The shop is 16 ft. by 20 ft.

Finished (except painting door and picking up construction leftovers)

This has been a huge undertaking that I could not have done without the help of my friend Gary who some of you know from the frag swap and a couple of meetings.

155 gallon tank--notice the blue tanks on the side. These are the stackable 75 gallon aquariums.

Wow. That is quite an undertaking. Glad you posted these pictures. Now you know you will have to fill us in on the specs of everything. How big is the building...how is it heated/cooled...how many tanks are in there...what type of lighting are you using on the systems...etc...etc..etc.

Impressive, when you get some free time you might consider getting a CAT scan.

Ok, now it is time to start on the 20X20 addition.. Looks good.

WOW! Looks good but I think you are gonna miss having a tank in the house. Come on just one nano, you know you want to.

Cameras on all the tanks that he can monitor from the house.

yeah easy enough to hook up a few web cams, then you could post em online and watch em from anywhere anytime.

Im sure with the addition of a fridge and microwave, it'll make for a one-of-a-kind soon to be batchelor pad...; -O Looks good!
