Al, that gives a whole new meaning to B&B.. lol.. Maybe your discus would enjoy some beer-battered blackworms?

Ryan,
 Besides the home brew I make a pretty darn good salsa that  might work well for a  cocktail sauce  for the fish to dip them Blackworm fritters in!!!!LOL!! ;D ;D

Al,
Now that's what I call a fish heaven! ;D Do you know how many tanks there are total in the house? Do you keep a log? 8)

I pulled the darker shaded plastic off the back of my tank last night and the PB's look much better. The wall behind is white.

Ardan :sunshine:

Hi darcy,
 I have  rewired  80 % of the room so far.  The electrician that did this house was a mason (the former owner) and should have stuck to stone work!  As it stands I have upgraded the electrical to  20 amp outlets /12g wire and added 2 dedicated breakers, with a 3 rd on the way for the  pump- room.  At that point I'll probably add a sub panel and   generator (just in case)-I'll hire an electrician for this part.
Hi Ardan,
   last count there was about 18 tanks,  including  a 55gal in the bedroom, 75 gal planted in the living room, and 50 gal in the den.
 as for a log,   I use a permanent magic marker on the side of the tank  where I track any treatments. (scrapes off with a razor) I keep a permanent notebook of various experiments, and I am blessed/cursed with a pretty good memory.



take care,
al

How about a contest of the most funkiest fish room.


Here is mine. *A kitchen that was converted to a Fishroom * *This what happens when one decides that fish are more important. *Water are saved and are great for the lawn.

Mmm...  Al's beer... mmm...

Those flakes make a tasty snack while drinking the beer, too.  Oops..  I didn't mean to mention that!

Mmm...  Beer...

I think I finally decided I like the export ale best - or the midnight stout...  That IPA is pretty good too...  I'll just have to sample them all again to make up my mind!

;D

Fishboi,

All those jugs of water look too painful to carry around!!! : : Nice looking fish though! 8)
The fish have not invaded my kitchen or bathroom yet ;D

Al, I'd love to stock my fridge that way! Love ales and stouts! Porters too!!! Yummmm

Hey Brew ,

Its 9:30 AM and after looking in your fridge, I'm thirsty
Which one tastes like S.Adams lager? Will you trade for beer??

Hey Brewman

Great fishroom & great pictures, now I can show my wife that 6 tanks spread all over the house isn't so bad.  Does the boom box in picture 2 supply mood music for the Discus ;D

Do you answer questions on beer brewing also? or is that another forum.  Oh well what I mean to say is BOY AM I JEALOUS !

To the original question, no backing on my tanks, unless there is direct sunlight hitting them.

Here are a couple of pics from my fishroom. It is not very fancy but you can sure get a lot of tanks in a small area with this design. On the 29 gallon tanks I paint everything except the one end with white spray paint.
