killimike Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Inspired by a recent thread by one of the other Mike's, here are some pics of when my little fishie corner of the garage was going up. This was in 2003, in its first incarnation. View from outside the front of the house View from inside, looking back to the front of the garage. This frame is the back wall of the fish space, that separates it from the garage. Gyprock sheeting going up Finished deal, plus some weirdo. The black stand was the first thing I had setup in there, it came down early last year. The green air pump is still going 5 years later, it runs airstones and sponge filters in the fishroom, plus upstairs, and in two rooms downstairs! More photos to come of the modern incarnation.

Bettarazzi Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Aww... so nice of your parents to let you take over their garage. They mustn't want you to ever to leave home. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killimike Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 They are devious for such innocent looking people! Without a fishroom, I would be long gone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Come on! We need current photos!! It's not a fishroom unless there are rows and rows of tanks. Did you actually do any of the work? I only say that because your dad looks all dirty and paint spattered and you're all spotless! :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killimike Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 It was another day, that last photo, after the paint had dried I will take some more pics soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckie Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I have seen the fish cupboard and I'll say this, Mike really maximises the space he has to work with in there. Like my fishroom, it's hard to get a photo due to the dimensions. It's hard to get far back enough from anything to get what you need to get in the shot. Also - Mike you look SO different in that photo!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killimike Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I'm finding alot of threads that I meant to come back to, but have forgotten to over the course of time. I will clean up the fishroom a bit, then get to it with the photos :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninoid12 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 good! ive been going thru OLD posts and gunna bump a few of interest looking fwd to photos (and inspiration, i want to redesign my room) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killimike Posted July 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think it's a great idea to go through old posts and bump them when they contain good ideas. . . Or someone hasn't got around yet to doing something they said they would Re idea for fishroom, well, we make the best of what we have, but don't make yours as small as mine!! You can see it's fairly narrow from the photo. The first time I had more than one or two people over to look at it was at the killi meeting a few months ago, and it was very funny to see people trying to squeeze in There's like half a person's space in there at the best of times. But height is a useful thing ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bettarazzi Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 If you're trying to figure out how to take a photo of a small space, I find video a much better option. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
