My new discus room!

[SantaFeDiscus]

Well this is were it's going to be anyways. Today is groundbreaking day and progress begins. Maybe it's not a room but definately a space with potential! The new addition will be 20ft x 18.5ft and my fish room will be 10ft x 18.5ft. I will post pics almost everyday.

Congratulations and good luck with your new room

[Mr. Limpet]

You gotta start somewhere. Good Luck and looking forward to the progress pictures. A small piece of advice from someone who didn't know better 18 years ago. Plan for moisture. Use a dehumidifier or air exchanger or something. Consult a pro. It will save a lot of trouble down the road. Have fun, Paul.

KD- Thanks this is a fun project I have been planning for a long time.
Paul- Thanks for the advise, I actuallly have a dehumidifier and I also plan on painting the room with a paint that has an anti mold formula added. In addition I will have 3 windows to help with with air movement. ;D
