    Just read through this thread. Great job!

    I might have missed it, but what air pump do you use?

    This is the other 2 car garage area where cabinets will installed along whole wall. it will also have rubber mat floors so kids can play around.


    u can see the new the electrical subpanel installed here:


    heres a pic of 1 out of 5 GFCI outlets installed.
    U should look into that bare wire... it's not to code so I'm assuming u did sub panel without permit... that wire isn't in a wall so need to have a metal tube around wire

    This has been a great thread and I really enjoyed following it from beginning to end ... My plans are not so ambitious as I am only now returning to aqua culture and fresh water aquarium but I do know that I will be setting up a 55 gallon planted tank for Discus and few scavengers by May or June ... not in any hurry but reading a lot on the forum to hopefully do it right the first time ... so I really appreciate the time you took to share your experience and posting all your photos ... Gorgeous fish by the way!!! Can you share a source you trust for the Discus? Thanks and good luck with your set up ... Richard

    Last I heard Dave was selling ALL of this discus. Not sure if he kept the garage up and running with other fish though. Didn't hear back from him on another forum.

    Hey Guys this is an amazing thread and I understand the owner might not be in the hobby anymore. However I am currently planning to setup a 3 tier aquarium wooden rack and was interested in the photos on this thread and since I am somewhat restricted with ceiling height in my basement, I wondered what would be the minimum decent clearance between tanks? In order to have enough space for plumbing and to fit one's hand to clean etc....

    My ceiling height is maximum 209cm (82 inches) and was wondering if it was possible to fit 3 tanks on top of each other, or 2 tanks and a sump ?

    Many thanks for your replies.

    You can start the tanks at hip level and you'll be fine

    I mean the distance between the top of a tank and the rack of the tank above it. What is a minimum comfortable distance between them?
