I saw that Pat... something similar will be done but I don't like not being able to see my fry. That would drive me nutz.
The house is still in Glen Burnie... sorry yun... Point Pleasant
A block from the water
So, you can come by and then go have a drink at the 5 bars out here
okay the outside... this is the garage... not our house. There was some confusion on another site lol
okay... first off I have no water going to this building. So, temporarily Bill ran two lines from the house that I can put away when it freezes. Yes I will have water soon... but, for now I don't. Getting the tanks and racks set up are more important for now. He ran them from the basement lines into a slop sink we put into the garage.
Heat was another issue. While a wood stove will do the heavy lifting I needed back up in case we are gone for a while. So, we decided eventually we will put in a furnance... but again, temporarily I needed something. Something cheap that won't run me a fortune. Doing a bit of research... heating large spaces ( remember I am insulated )... was the hard part. I opted for these that are energy efficient.

They are doing a great job so far... on the energy efficient mode.
With a wood stove... we have figured out harder wood is better ( lololol so many jokes here )... we bought a cord of red oak for a very good price. It burns very nicely and evenly.
okay another way of heating was a dehumidifier... I went with the largest I could without going to the industrial level. The wood stove will dry things out... but I figured a dehumidifier will also help heat the place as well as remove any humidity issues. This is the dehumidifier we decided to do.

Frank I can't redo the whole building lol... it's already built. We get to do the water system.... but in terms of spills... it's the old fashion way.
okay... so I have to move my tanks from my old place right ?
So in order to do this... we built another rack to slide most of my 50 longs into.... we bought this air pump, thanks to Sam... for 100.00 on ebay.
It should run my whole fish room... and it's pretty darn quite. For now we have to bleed a lot of the air
Only uses 80 watts.
So, the first rack of about 6 to 8 racks... it's about 14 feet long and 4 tiers high. I'll post a picture later. We ran PVC and air valves. Painted the rack to try and keep the racks lasting longer....
