I did not lay the tile, although I have in the past. I do countertops and backsplashes, no floors. Apparently I'll be spackeling, sanding and painting next week. :thumb:

It's a basement.

Tanks only two high and two wide. They will basically fill in the rest of the wall in the back with a door opening to the access-way behind.

That's going to be a nice space for some tanks. I'd be hard pressed to have just 4!

I might have to kick a couple of my kids out to make space for one of these fish rooms!!

I think a fish tank or 6 would look great in a scrapbooking room :p

Tried it...went over like a ton of rocks. I'm lucky i got the 240 in the living room and not the shed.

Oh- come on, where's you sense of adventure?! LOL! :lol: The tile looks good.

Spackeling and painting can be fun, especially since it's your "fish" room. :thumb:

It's looking good so far!

Walls are painted and lumber for racks will arrive today. Pics later.

Question re the Shrimptom drain for fmueller. On the intake end of the contraption, what is the proper name for the PVC part you show on your website? I know the elbows and T's...

And what is the purpose of having something other than the end of the pipe there? The netting keeps out foreign objects...but what is the function/advantage of the part on the intake end?

This will be awesome!

Just a question, how does tile handle the weight of the tanks? Idk what size tanks you have, but imagining my 2x55g set up on tile makes me nervous

I have tile under all my show tanks upstairs, that includes a 125G. Upstairs, the floor is tiled over wood with a layer of "mud" between wood and tile.

Ceramic tile should not be a problem in this new room installed over level concrete with proper adhesive.
