My DIY Fish Room

[Reef Breeders]

I would like to give a tour of my fish room, which is basically a frag system, and a 3 tiered culture system. I also have a RODI unit and 40 gallon storage tank for it. I set up a shipping area stocked with boxes and packing materials for shipping frags, pods, plankton, and any dry goods that I am dine using. I will post progress on how I built the furnace room up to what it is now.

are you going to paint the stand or waterproof it somehow?

Looks good to me! I wish I had that kind of room.

No need to paint it unless you want to, but I would be concerned with the weight of those tanks being held up by just the screws... Cut some more 2x4s to but up against the vertical ones so you have the weight on a board instead of the screws...

Other than that I like the setup. When I have room I'll do the same.

Those screws arent cheap
I didnt add the supports on these tanks, but there is a cross brace under the frag tanks. The culture tanks only weigh about 50 pounds a piece. I dont paint my stands unless I decide to finish them, then only the outside is painted. More pics coming!
