amazing build. can't wait to see the full tank shot.
the.............................. Big one..........
- Thread starter abyss1
- Start date
well
its over
we are moved and i can calm down and think a little about future plans
it will all start, on tuesday with a visit from the architect, just to make plans for the house and for the fish room, but this can take a few weeks, but hopefully not too long
i will put a couple of pics up this week, just of how i have it running at the moment, remember its in vats etc at the moment, but hopefully, i can get the main tank in for xmas
thats the plan, so it might be a bit slow now, but ill do my best to keep you all informed
kind regards

Important cool title
Looking forward to watching this develop 
well.......................... is there any progress?
yep, no pics as of yet, firstly as i havnt got any internet since i moved, and not likely to be any for a while, so im having to use my internet at work
hence the reason no pics as of yet, but i will be keeping some and saving them for a big post
the builders have started today, on the rebuild of the garage, but its been raining all day today so they have just been getting supplies in and materials
but hopefully soon, it will be worth the wait, basically im getting my double garage insulated and rendered, with a hole for the tank, and this will be up to the plasterboard stage
but i will be able to put the tank in the wall and get the vats in and also get everything out of storage and into the building, so as i can slowly start to build this baby
ill keep you all informed along the way
kind regards

things are now moving along
so ive attached a few photos, basically, its a double garage dimensions being 17ft across the front and 18ft front to back
the roof is sound but it does need some strengthening
also the whole building needs to be rewired and insulated as well as rendering on the outside
all this is in hand and will slowly get done, im also completely rewireing it with a 16mm armoured cable direct from the main consumer unit
not many pics but it is a start
this is the building as it was when we moved in a couple of weeks ago
and you can see in the next few pics, how it is inside, single skin, large gaps in doors and no good as a fish room
so in come the builders, to make a start on the transformation

heres a few more just to keep you all up to date
but the builders have got about another week left
finish the insulation and render the outside, they have only done the scratch coat on the outside
then im gettint it skimmed on the inside, but just to give you an idea of scale
there are a couple of pics of the plinth that the tank will sit on, this will be a solid construction
topped of with 1" marine ply and 1" poly for bedding in
tank is going in on saturday......................
this gives you an idea of the chaos
and the doors are being put on, once the tank is in place, just to make things a bit easier
