Frank's Fish Room

Hey Guys.

My dear wife has given me a fish room. Yay. Only condition is that the room looks good. So what i have done is taken my braai room and turned it into my study slash fish room. I learned to braai in Pretoria so we do it outside. hahaha. I have only used the braai room once since i bought the place a year and a half ago so now it is a fish room. I will remove the braai at a later stage and add a 2mx2mx0.6m tank there.

So does anyone have any suggestions or ideas what i can do to improve the room? I still want to add more lights to hang over the tanks.

I will add more pictures once i have all the lights on. I just got table and 3foot in yesterday so i took the pictures very quickly.

 

Cool take some close ups of the tanks....I was going to say...who braais in doors? That's a no no!

 

Most the big houses in the northern suburbs of Cape Town have a braai room lol. I was shocked when i moved here. I stay in Welgemoed and i think almost every house has a braai room.

 

A fish room is a fantastic idea. Thinking about it my self. Just insure you got enough ventilation and in the winter, you can keep the room warm.

 

@HennieRoux you will be converted to an indoor braai as well once you have tried to braai in a howling Souteaster in the Cape - not recommended for the faint-hearted, even for us dyed in the wool Gautenger's...!!!
@Frank007301 very cool - now you can braai and do fishie things at the same time...!!

 

Yeah take out that sissie braai and install a proper sky light or two for that big tank, make sure you can in some way control the light though.

 

I only see 1 serious problem .... There is only 3 tanks !!!! :bigsmile:

 

Yip. The show tanks are in the entrance hall. hahahaha. I will get more tanks soon. I am going to see if i can get a 3 foot stack and a show tank in the fish room too as well as a few nanos.

 

Nice... My recommendation is that you look at building or having built for you a racking system that can enable you to take the tanks up... Trust me 3 tanks will never be enough...

 

So here are the tank close ups that you requested. I will post a close up of the Planed tank once it is looking pretty again. lol. I had to move a few things and the tank has clouded up now so will post ASAP!
