New fish room

And some more progress still very slow but getting there.

 

Making some serious progress !!

 

Its looking very good. You can take your time and only be ready in spring - avoid the winter costs

 

I discovered my garage door acts as an heater during the day. My theory is the more tanks running will keep the ambient up making heating a little less. So far 20 tanks are running.

 

Wow @Barry Roux ,

Looking good and that is quite some progress!!

 

Hi Barry
How are you going to insulate the ceiling ? there is going to be a LOT of condensation - esp in winter - from the cold corrugated sheets and the warmer temp inside the fish room ?

 

Hi @eros111 there is no plans to insulate at the moment all electrics will be covered for dripping . My main concern now is keeping the humidity in check.

 

Just to show some rare fish , I think

 

Give us an update. Summer is getting close! You must come get your fish.

 

Thanks Nico Room is settled and complete for now. Breeding is in full swing again with a few surprises . Ile take some pics over the weekend.

Wow @Barry Roux .... That's amazing!!

The amount of breeding going on there.. you must be a fish whisperer!!
Did you breed the Uaru?

Well done... what a set up

 

Thanks @MariaS im hoping to breed them. They have been showing some breeding colours the last 2 days. So really holding thumbs.

 

Sounds promising, good luck!!
Must admit I love the Uarus, that would be awesome .. Not a fish you often hear about anyone breeding them

 

Awesome fishes you have there. Sure you adding something special to the water to get them all spawning

Not really just use the basics and do the basics(prime/stability) . None of my tanks has had anything fancy in chem wise. I use mostly air for filtration. Still believe firmly in UG filters.

 

If it isn't broken why fix it?
Your defnitly doing it right at the moment. Keep it up.
