dan486 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Moving into our new house next weekend...(i hate moving, but this one is worth it) At moment I have my tanks in our garage and spread throughout the unit. The house we are moving into house a old granny flat in back yard that has been stripped out and is just a empty room. Its approx 4mtr x 7mtr, has water, power, lights and aircon. Here's a few pics of it at moment, will have my breeding tanks in their along with workbench & tools, tv, couch, stereo and the most important bit - the beer fridge. Will get some more as I get it all setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan486 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 The mrs will be happy, gets tanks out of the house, although the display tanks will still be inside house. The benchs in pics will be going, make room for everything else. Have also noticed the floor is level, so will be a bit of mucking around there - but so be it.

random-cichlid Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 if they are steel stands id recommend just making some adjustable feet up if you do it smart you can make like 20 legs for 30 bucks prob the cheapest way to do it just a bit of a tip use it or dont \\\\ may be easiest option thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan486 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 that would be great if i had steel stands.....all of them are timber though. Ive got some thin ply lying around so will just make some packers from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan486 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 That area near the XXXX poster looks about right for the pool table. Lol pool table would be sweet, but unfortunately there's no room. Tanks and workbench take it all up Here's a pic of the tanks so far, just gotta fix up the power leads.

dan486 Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Rack holds 6 x 3fters. Top shelf is 2 breeding tanks for bns and - for fry. Lower shelf is a grow out for some Africans waiting to go in my display tank, other 2 are empty at the moment. All run off one big sucker air pump, 2 sponge filters per tank. Temp in tanks is around 24 without heaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan486 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 is that the bunnings rack ?i just set up one with 3 x 3 ft x 2ft x 1ft tanks and setting another 2 up this week, i believe it is, i got it from someone else though. Fairly easy to put together and looks fairly tidy i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Betta Posted November 11, 2012 Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Very cool, so jealous of your man cave, looks amazing. I'm using a Bunnings rack too but I changed the particle board shelves to ply, I know I'd get them wet & I don't want to have a fish tank fall through the shelf, already glad I did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan486 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2012 Mate that i got this off had already changed to ply for the same reason. Now that i have this room setup it makes me want a bigger one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
