    Default Fish Room 2.0

    So switched up the fish room. Sold all the DAS tanks and went back to acrylics.
    1 140
    5 55s
    2 29s
    6 20s
    Wanted to better control temp and water in each tank vs. the DAS that were sets of three. Filtration is a Alita blower/sponge filters and massive water changes. Just have the right side racks up and the 140 on the end. Right now I'm running heaters in each tank but as soon as the electrition can get out here to install it, the room will be heated to 84deg using a hot water heat ex-changer.

    The 20s are for breeding prs, the 29s are break out tanks and the 55 are grow outs. The 140 is the recoup tank for adults not currently breeding.

    Short vid right before doing the mid day tank cleaning. First upper tank is most of my older red fish, second tank is my May order, and last tank is my turqs, SS, and leps.

    The fish look awesome. Those three select grade calico (or koi?) you had stood out to me but all the fish look great.

    Still arranging but getting closer to the final set-up. Wish my room was bigger but also thankful my fiance let me build it . The 140 on the end was a real pain to get in. Had the rack on the right up and thought their would be plenty of room to slip the 140 in, I was wrong lol. Finally got it into place and than built the rack on the left side. I have roughly $200 in all the tanks, they are used and while not livingroom quality, they suit my needs well

    Planned arrangement once all the dust settles.
    3-55 top of left side
    3-20 and 2-29 bottom left side
    2-55 top right side
    3-20 bottom left side
    140 endcap

    I made room under the left side rack in case I ever wanted to add a few more tanks, will see. Having wiring track coming in to help manage wires and airlines, along with a new 200ft role of silicone airline tubing. Water to air heater will be in midweek along with a new De-humidifier. Last task will be plumbing all the 55s for the water change plumbing. Will do the left bank first, move fish over, than the left side. The 20 I am not plumbing in and will continue to do those 6 tanks by hand. Lastly odered LED to light all the tanks, Finnex Ray2s
