Didnt do much today,had a tidy up in my garage and cleared some offcuts of insulation and correx.
Also returned the drills and drill bits that i borrowed.

I backfilled some of the trench and fitted the waste pipe.This is 43mm waste pipe,and i have used the glue together fittings.

Looking very nice indeed.

Am i right in thinking that you are not going to individually heat the tanks but have the room heated instead...??? (thermostat fitted to left of light)

Or are you going to do both as once the temperature of water and the room are up to the correct temp the individual tank heaters will stay off, unless something goes wrong with the main room heating, in which case they will switch on when the room temp drops.

cheers

Hi mate,

The room will be heated to 28/29 degrees.The thermostat controls 2 x4ft greenhouse tube heaters,they are 240w ea.
some of the tanks will have small heaters in them just in case.probably 100w ea.
I keep zebra plecs,l260,l134 and will have a small heater in there tank just in case
All the fish that require warmer water will be at the top of the rack,cooler water fish further down the rack.s.

Hope that helps
