My Fishroom Make-over

Wow die hard steel... I'm hopefully getting a stand in this week coming with a design similar to yours although for smaller tanks. I'm creating more of a fish wall than room lol. So your build will be a good guide line. Thanks

 

lol.... @Reedfish three weeks ago.... every day something new comes up... like... today I decided that the door must open to the outside... so's I can fit more inside of the room... that sets me back by another 4 days... "ad hoc" decisions will decide if I am back in by next week Friday.... let's play it by ear.....

 

Here is the before & after of the second stand of 4.... (this stand was also made somewhere around 1975/6 and is also a first refurbishment for it in almost 40 years)

Before:



After:

 

looking good
wish i had this space to do something pretty like this instead of the moutley crew of tanks i have

 

Righteo.... now starts the nitty gritties.... literally ...... the scrubbing of the tanks..... 20 done.... 20 to go.... lots of elbow grease to get the calcium off... a full 9 hours to do the first 20 tanks....

 

Tagging along Good work so far!

 

Awsome , wanna keep my eye on this one

 

Can't wait for the setup of these tanks! Following...

 

lol.... the irony of this whole exercise is... that I am upgrading all of this without doing my homework to establish if I have the market to justify even half the costs of it... (or alternatively... just to break even)... Certainly not in the Kimberley market..... I have bred approximately 40 different species in the past... and... my intentions are to breed.... Maybe if I deliver to Bloemfontein... it can be viable... else... I am going to be stuck with a great fishroom.... and thousands of fish.... lol.... Bloem???... do we have any Bloemfontein dealers on this forum??.....

 

he he ... surely if you breed the more expensive fish it might still be viable to do JHB / CT delivery - else you need to start looking for a lift club of sorts. In the end it is good that you have the time and energy to be doing the project - esp considering the amount of time you have previously invested in these tanks before.

Love the thread - keep them pics coming.

Later Ferdie

 

fish i breed make great feeders sadly
where most end up in jhb

 

Suddenly... now that I move the stands back in.... the space seems limited...... I have moved 3 of the 4 stands back in.... Still one to collect that has to go against the wall behind me.... I will start putting the tanks in the stands on Friday.... after connecting the wall mounted heater.....

 

welkom needs proper breeding relailers. any cichlids planned? will buy from u if u willing to ship
