journal My new rack & tanks

[Squiggle]

I just thought I'd start this thread about the new rack I'm going to build, it will be two 5x1.5x1.5 tanks divided into five 1ft sections with a 5x1.5x1.5 sump. As some of you may know I had to move house this weekend & I spent all of today moving the tanks & Bettas. All went well, only three fish didn't make it :( but three out of a few hundred isn't a bad percentage, all the shrimp made it so I'm stoked. Anyway, here's a pic of my new fish room, it's a 10m x 3m tiled room with air conditioning, YEEHAA!!! This is a few hours ago & now all the existing tanks are setup & a new rack for the Bettas, the new shrimp tanks will be setup across the back wall & the lounge & tele will be setup where I'm standing, all I need is a bed & I'll be right, lol

Looking good Squiggle what's this about a lounge and a telly? That's not allowed in a shrimp room! :encouragement:

[Squiggle]

Lol, they are in mine & I'll have a beer fridge as well, I never called it a shrimp room, I called it a fish room & they are allowed in a fish room, hahaha I know, I know, it's just a technicality :encouragement:

Lucky bugger! Look at all that space for tanks! Wish I was that lucky...Keep us posted! Would love to see the finished shrimp setup.

[Squiggle]

I definitely will be Chi & yeah there's heaps of room, this will be the progress thread & first on the list is pallet racking, then pick up the tanks & sump, YAY! :victorious:

Tele, lounge, bed, why don't you add a toilet so you'll never have to leave the room :)

[Squiggle]

Hmmmmm, that sounds like a good idea, lol. Actually, if I add a microwave too that would be it, no need for the rest of the house, hahaha

[torface]

This is amazeballs!

I like the look of the wheelie chair... you don't even need to get up, you can just wheel everywhere on that tile floor :P

[MrShrimp]

Yes torface but it has to be an electric wheel chair.lol we are so bad

[Squiggle]

Yeah that's my favourite little stool, perfect for the fish/shrimp room :encouragement:

Lol, too funny dude :congratulatory: Yeah I have the whole three bedroom house to myself, that room is part of the garage, the garage is a 12m x 10m & this is 1/3 of the garage, so I have twice as much room in the rest of the garage, talk about an awesome score :victorious:

[KillieOrCory]

How about a Segway :P
