Hi Everyone, as I mentioned in my Rio Negro Heckel Project I started building a proper Discus Room.
I didn't want anything too big, just for enough space for having between 800-1000 gallons. We move in our new house last spring and I had a section of the basement that was barrelly 8ft wide... It didn't suit my basement plans but it could work as a Discus Room. Plus it right beside the Laudry-Bathroom, so water and utility sink were not an issue ;)

The current plan is to have both 140 gallon plywood tanks on each end plus a wall of six 65 gallons tanks and a breeding wall. I'm going to use my current four 30 gallons for the breeding wall, but plan to change them for three 35 gallon cubes.

The first step was to remove the sheetrock as I need to redo the electricity. I want to have 3 separate 110 volt circuit dedicated to the Room, plus a 220V circuit for heating the Room. As the room is in a corner, 2 walls are already insulated.

I've built the end wall

This weekend I'm running the wires, plus putting the the sheetrock on the outside for the end wall. I'also continue to add the insulation on the ceiling.
Cheers,
Fred
