Full scale fish house beginnings here.
Box ponds in the centre are useful. Build a box structure line with polystyrene and add a cheap pondliner. (light blue lets you see your fish)

Little by little is sometimes better than jumping in with both feet... which by the way isnt good for your nitrate levels!


anyway...

Whats the plan now? what fish? what decor etc! always good to see peoples plans unfold!

I dont like the look of that electric socket directly under them pipes. (always best to be on the safe side)...

Cant you make a drop down cover (like a sloping roof) over it so if ever a leak it dont go on the socket?

Nice idea, 5teady

add - yer mate..twas early Don't do a lot on the weekends/no responsibility/kids or anything like that..so can get away with a dodgy sleep pattern, lol!

About your rack/bench design...I was wondering what size'access' gap you gave yourself with the bottom tier..?
