Hi Chris i too am going to be building a fish room (well its a brick shed but i still need to insulate). I work in a builders merchants and we sell 8′ x 4′ sheets of polystyrene either 1 inch thick or 2 inches, i am going to use this as it wont get damp and board it over with 12mm Water resistant MDF. I priced it up and for 1 sheet of each it came to £14 (thats with my discount but still less than £20). Let me know how you get on.. Cheers.
Ps iv got two pairs of CPD upstairs that went into the breeding tanks last night, Theres a lot of chasing this morning but no actual spawning yet…Fingers crossed.
im pretty surprised about your coose of wood. i was going to go with 9.5mm (i think thats the size) exterior ply on the inside and shiplap on the outside (looks the same as the shed that way)
i aslo was considering polystyrene using 2 inch sheets as the uprights for the should are going to be 2×2. after looking at the silver buble wrap im also thinking about putting that on as well so an extra measure
this wont be happening for another few weeks as i have to get my exams out the way before the parents let me loose
how much would 1 sheet of waterproof mdf and 1 sheet on 2 inch polystyrene be to the general public? if you dont mind me asking
and good luck with your fish
