New Fish House Project (its Quite Big) 2800 Gal

[steve_m]

My new big project DADS DREAM A new 16.5ft X 20ft fish house for my dad. It was going to be a double garage/office
Builders have finally left and after the big tidy up we started fitting the roof and knocking up the door frames.

Mikie the pikie (jack of all trades) finishing the roof

Frame work ready for insulation

one of the roofing sheets. they are used on caravans (statics) and when fitted look like proper pan tiles but much cheaper.

A mate is making the racking for the tanks (not finish yet). This one takes 6 48"x18"x12" (33g) and 2 sumps. Im having 2 walls of these from floor to ceiling and a pond/more tanks/a tank in the middle Im yet to decide.

Edit to add a pic

More pics will follow. Im off for a bath and a beer (not bear lol) or 2 and to watch the rugby

That's looking really good, and a smart idea too (calling it a garage ) haha I wish I could convince the other to allow that keep us updated!

Cool project, go for a pond in the middle! How cool would that be?
A big tropical/subtropical pond. You could have a shoal of silver sharks, oscars..you name it!

Or you could go for millions of tetras, angel fish too would be cool.

All in a very natural environment, the only problem would be providing light for plants if you wanted it to be natural - sunlight would be best and cheapest + more natural, but a few pendants would do great too.

An indoor (most likely in a glasshouse) tropical pond is one of my personal fishkeeping dreams .
