Thanks a lot guys/girls and chris….Only kiddin mate. :wink: Thanks
I bought 4 secondhand 18x18x12 tanks for use as growing on tanks,I got them CHEAP,CHEAP,CHEAP, the girl who was selling was local to me and advertised on ebay, she was going to uni and needed to shut down the majority of her 18 tank fishroom. iv told her to contact me if she sells anymore tanks this size. I had the tanks for a week or two but there was no point in putting them into the shed side which was uninsulated and had no flooring. So my fishroom now measures 11ft x 6ft it is completly insulated with 2inch polystyrene sheets and will have a laminate floor all the way through.The walls are painted white with a smooth waterproof masionary paint,and the tank racks are made with 2 1/2 inch planed redwood.
It will eventually contain upto 35 smallish tanks with a total water volume of 1000litres or 264 gallons…I also have two display tanks inside the house….

What shed were you looking at chris?? Let me know what sort of size and your price range and ill help you scan the net see how cheap we can get one for, im lucky as i work in a builders merchant and get a good discount on building materials, plus my company have just taken over a garden center and i took full advantage and bought a big water butt for half price
It can be done fairly cheaply if you do it in bits, also try and breed some expensive fish and it should pay for itself..Mine has upto now.
