myself and a few partnres are setting up a new fish room in our basement located in denver colorado. we had a pretty good setup but we are upgrading about 3 times more and on a central system. the basement is about 1200 square feet with three different rooms. when we first started we deciided to unfinish our newly finished basement. we had the electrical company come out and run a 220 service just for the fish with 100 amp service. we are running a seperate breaker box around our filter system in our sick room. we took up all the carpet and repainted the floor with cement paint. we have about 80 tanks ranging from 5 gal -180 gal. we will have a breeding room and and main room just for viewing. all the filters will be in one room to make it look clean. in the garage we have a 550 gal water storage unit with about 800 gal a day r/o unit. we have ran electrrical around all the walls in each room and plan on doing the same with the plumbing. we will start posting pics today and updating every few days acording to our progress in the room. we are currently on day 4. thanks Mark, Anthony, Partick, melsiia, and all helpers ( Lewis, Tony, isaiah)
