ctaylor3737 Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 dude. looking awesome so far. My only concern would have been with the moisture and textured ceiling I saw you joined a facebook group I run LOL It's got plastic sheeting first,mold resistant drywall and I painted it with waterproofing paint. If it molds I'll pay you to come fix it lol. 2 dehumidifiers and window fans to pull the air out in the summer. Should be pretty stable lol. -Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctaylor3737 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 Any new updates or plans coming up for the room?Lots of updates, grout is all cleaned up and sealing it as we speak. I'll prime and paint the walls tomorrow, install the airlines and drain this weekend. I'll be doing most of the little things here and there this weekend. Want it completely done before I move. Don't want to have to create dust when I'm down there.Thinking of putting a nice post around the floor Jack and trimming out the floor beam down there. I ran water lines to my water storage are when I did the ceiling. I'll have a hookup by the tanks for a future drip system or just easy refilling. Going to put a bunch of valves to be able to fill a few tanks at once. Still lots of planning and executing to do yet. DETAquarium 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2014 I'm off for a few days next week. Hoping to move all the tanks by Wednesday of next week. Pretty easy to do I believe. Then I'll be building some racks and plumbing all them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctaylor3737 Posted July 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Does anyone have any experience in placement of drains on tanks? I am going to drill the tanks and can't drill the bottom of them. This is going to be used just for drains, I will probably drill two while I am at it in case I want to put cannisters or something else on there. I was thinking lower on the tank instead of high like alot of people do. Not to low though because I will more than likely never drain a tank that low, want to be able to just open the valve and drain the tank. I will of course use bulkheads safe for the shrimps, I have been looking at a few different ones I havent decided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
