wow those really are top notch , very thought out set-ups i bet all that plumbing really cuts down on water change time significantly. if i had more tanks and a bigger budget i'd love to do somthing similar , but for now my most urgent project is rewireing the basment onto it's own curcuit so the fish room will stop tripping the breaker . a bit of a daunting task when you know nothing about electricity except it hurts!

Ouch! Find an electrician. I was lucky.. my father in law is an electrician, and he came down for a weekend and helped wire my room.

I had an electrician set in a separate circuit for my fish room. He ended it in a small circuit box & I did the rest. It's easy, but buy yourself a basic "how to" electricity book.

Ted your fish room is very inspiring. I wish to have such a nice fishroom someday. I'll surely use from your experiences and tips. I hope your can find more time to update your site and especially logs about apisto species :)

Thank you!

I'm trying to enlist the help of one of two family members that are electricians , but failing that i pick things up pretty quickly. I'm already a diy plumber and carpenter . only differece if i screw up my carpentry i just have a crooked shelf , with electricity my mistake could turn my house into cinders.
