Fishroom ideas and plans

The 360. There will be a 200 gallon sump with two 40 g water change stations to make that alot easier.

I looked up some mini splits and they wouldnt be too pricey if I am looking at the right thing? $500-600 I will need to learn alot more on them though. So far most of the material for them online is all the same stuff just copied and pasted it seems.

Erik- What is a 240?

Erik- What is a 240?

2 phase. Like a dryer or oven uses. 220/240vac

Oh I was thinking a 240 gallon? I was wondering what he meant. lol

things i learned is:
1) you will never have enough room no matter how big the room is (mine is 14x14)
2) PUT A FLOOR DRAIN IN (no I dont have one and im still kicking myself for not adding it)
3) you will never have enough plugs or dedicated circuits
4) utility sink
5) I had a window unit and a dehumidifier which added a lot of heat, I changed to a portable a/c which keeps the room cooler and less humidity. plus no dripping water outside which accumulates pretty fast
6) insulate the walls

I was wondering about insulating. I didnt know wether to or not but since the room will be cooler than the house I guess it would be a good energy saver for sure. I was worried because if it got wet(mold) for some reason but read that with KILZ and a water sealing paint that room ought to be good to go. A dehumidifier will be in there for sure as my last house had alot of condensation during the winter because of my 180G.

Does anyone run a mini split by any chance? I would love some advice on this.

JT I plan on having front and back access to help with this. This will actually make the 3 foot depth easier to work on hopefully. Side note- when can I drop off the suction cups? They were great to use and thanks again.
.

thats good than not many tanks are set up like that and i hate to work on those tanks lol

work is fine for the cups or if you want to swing by the house its cool what ever works for you

Yeah I saw one on RC and loved the idea. The hole for the tank will be cut larger then I will have a hinged overhead door that will give me access in the front. If I run across the picture I will try and post it up.
