newbreed Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) I never thought I would see the day when I would be so excited about concrete, but today is that day!! We have had a visit from the Fishroom Fairy Godmother and she left me a new floor in my garage, half which has been allocated as a fishroom. Should be 4.5 metres wide by about 3.5 metres deep all up. The fishroom portion, not the concrete!! Once dry, I will be insulating and putting up new walls and a ceiling, hmm the dream is developing slowly. All the fish have been relocated to a temporary residence in my stable, converted into a tool shed. The divided three footer was kindly provided by Ray, Big Thanks Ray!! It meant I could get me a selection of Betta. Will keep you posted as the fishroom develops. Sorry for blurry pics. God I love concrete......

fishbites Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Looks great!!! would be wonderful to have a fish room from a clean start like that! put in more power points than you think you need! and a hole in the wall to put drainage pipes for piping old tank water to the garden Hmmm... what else..... space for a comfy chair and big screen TV.... a bar fridge.... nah... just plenty of rack space for tanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Very exciting! Looks great. You should add a sink! +1 for a comfy chair in the middle - no TV but... why would you watch TV in a fishroom? Keep us updated. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Tv wouldn't last anyway, it's taking up valuable rack space. Lol. Fantastic. Keep us posted. Nothing but a dream for me though. :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbites Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 gotta have a sense of adventure Paul Got to have a TV so you can keep up with cricket, tennis, football etc while you're tending to the fishies.... A sink is a good idea and a bit of bench space even if it folds down from a rack or a wall..... on a temp basis.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbreed Posted January 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Thanks for the feedback guys and gals. I think a comfy chair will have to be added. No questions. Thanks for the workbench suggestion, would have thought of that too late and am always looking for some work space as it is. Willhave a bar fridge, mainly for frozen and live foods but may have a cheeky beer or two. Pipe into the garden is next on the list, concrete can be walked on from tomorrow, can't wait.....

newbreed Posted January 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 Now that is the Best suggestion so far!! Don't think I'll risk suggeting it to the other half though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
