Quick Fishroom Tour

wow shocked and stunned!!!! :blink:

almost speechless!! almost not quite!! lol

everythings so beautifully looked after, i'm very jealous lol :eek: :wub:
 
Wow, didn't expect so any responses! Thanks for the complements folks. :D

My wife says the same thing about me having a problem, just shakes her head & lets me do my thing. She has to be the most tolerant person I know. :)

I did count those, when transferring from a 10 to a 29. My wife will probably get in on the next move when I split them up, she likes trying to keep the different ones in seperate tanks. I have left spawns in with the parents plenty of times, no parent raisers yet.

They get sold to a few lfs, and at auctions. Some of the best out of each spawn get saved for future breeders or traded with other breeders for different strains of breeders.

I originally built that room as a spare bedroom, glad I put in plenty of outlets. My son comes over every other weekend, usually sleeps in there. He's a computer & Pepsi junkie. The noisiest part is the air pumps, I really need to set up a centralized air system.

That is a 63 gallon, same dimensions as a 55, but a foot longer. It's the only 5 foot tank I've come across yet. I do have a few non-angel tanks, a 10 with platys, 20 with platys, corys, & plecs, the oscar tank, & the plec breeding tank.

The tanks with breeding pairs rarely get anything switched, I also have a 65 gallon in the living room set up as a show tank with a couple of pairs & a few unpaired angels. That tank pretty much stays as is;

Water changes take around 4 hours if I do all the tanks at once, half of that time is waiting for the water heater to reheat. It's all hoses & pumps, 350 gallons out, 350 in.
 
You are mad sorry mate but that is crazy looks fantastic tho you show tank is beautiful
 
:hyper: Ok 1st off let me say Thank you! I showed that page to my husband so he now knows - it's not THAT bad! LoL I'm workin' 4 tanks right now - just starting out but think i will stop where I'm at till I get an idea of what i really want. (truely wanting a large discus tank) I have 65 / 2 - 30's (one empty) / 12 / an a 10. My husband done thought I'd gone overboard hehe - he now see's how far it CAN go! :lol:

Amazing! Thank you for sharing that. I dont know about you but I can sit hours in front of my tanks and just watch. With a room like that, I might never come out! :look:

On the stacking - that gives a bit of idea to structure. I do really hate to put wheels on it - we looked at some at home depot yesterday and they aint got much for looks that will hold the weight but gosh having them on there would make it so much easier on me when I got an urge to "relocate" the tanks. I'm terrible at stuff like that.

The way you've got yours built gave us an eye ball look - helped bunches. I'd like to do it that way but come out on the edges a few inches so the bottom tank is not covered at all on the sides in the front. Then Put a cover piece over the front --- tank size cut to veiw tanks from front veiw only but trimmed enough to hide the base an tops. So in the end... it will be a huge box with two areas where you see tanks.

Tossing about ideas right now really. If it werent for limited space I would simply come up w/ something in a side by side enclosure with devider in the middle to hide the seperation point but I dont have anywhere to put it right now if i do that:( I've tossed that idea around as well.

I'll post pics as soon as we get started :) We got some wood to start will yesterday - just got to make a choice on how we are gonna do it. This will be a 1st for mew and my husband both so this should be interesting :p
 
ha ha cool, nice pics, and you are completely and utterly crazy :p :lol:

although personally If I had anywhere near that many tanks I'd have more variety to the fish I kept. Just personal preference though I guess. I don't really have much interest in breeding anything though, just leave it up to nature, if I did then I'm sure I'd end up needing a similar set up.
 
Stupid question but whats your electricity bill like :blink: ;)
Nice colllection, but the worst case of MTS I ever saw B) ROFL.. get treatment please!!

Electric adds another $50 monthly, it's actually cheaper in the winter when the furnace is running as I cut a heat register into the main trunk. Heaters suck up the most juice, they run less in the winter. Having most of the tanks in the same room with lots of insulation helps as well. I just got done moving the black rack into the room yesterday, have a 72 where the black rack was. I'll be building another double 29 rack soon, and moving a few more things.

Angels sell well, help pay the bills. I'm considering breeding some apistos once I get a few more tanks set up. I hang out with people who have double what I have running, so I'm only half crazy. :lol: A centralized air system & auto water changers are in the plans, but so is a bathroom & kitchen remodel.
 
it looks like a small fish store lmao, have you got any kribensis, because in 1 of the pics there is a fish that looks alot like a krib.
how many filter have you actually got running, internal and external?

keep up the work anyway mate :good:
 
You have what I am dreaming of. You are so lucky to have a partner that lets you do all that.
We have a spare bedroom that would be great as a fish room, but sadly I have a hubby that wont allow it - yet :)
Maybe in the future he might let me do it as I already have a 55, a 16 and a 35 gallon dotted around the house and if he realises i will be spending 90% of my time there then maybe just maybe he will let me do it.

Would love to see close up pics of your angels, i love them. :)
 
Dang, that is an awful lot of tanks!!! 4 hours worth of water changes >.<... Blah. That is a very impressive fishroom.

And my mom complains that one tank is enough fish and I don't need two =P.
 
Lol your house is a LFS by itself but I agree with some saying I would have more variety Have heaps of tanks each with different species :D Awesome anyways :drool:
