Sorry Sam, but one cuppa will not be enough mate, I am a tea aholic you will need an URN.

Could probably stretch to 2 cups of tea and a biscuit for you mate.

Hello everyone, I saw this thread the other night and flicked through the process of setting up the shed but I didnt realise how many posts there were of us all drooling over the project

Nice work, im looking forward to seeing the tanks all setup

Not sure now if I'm drooling over the project or the pasties, scones with clotted cream and Jam...

I think its probably the food... I'm just a little jealous of the project..!!!!

Bit of progress today.
Things are started to come together now...Finally
Racks are in and bolted down and have fitted the 25mm Polystyrene.
added extra plastic trunking and all the waterproof connection boxes can be seen,These are ip65 rated 100x100x50mm Gewiss boxes,All wires enter and exit via waterproof glands.
All boxes can take up to 6/8 connections,2 tanks share each box,smaller tanks have 1 box for 4 tanks









And i have connected the heaters,Need to shorten the wires,seemed to work ok,Was quite warm in there at 28 degrees.Heaters are 2 x4ft greenhouse heaters,each one is 240w
Polystyrene on the floor is 50mm

Only one word comes to mind. WOW!

Picked up the last bit of wire i needed and fitted that,replaced all the ducting covers.

Also drilled the air ring main.

Have 15 outlets on the righthand side,5 on the end wall,and 24 on the lh side.

EPIC!!!

Runing out of words of praise for this project Sam, just sheer brilliance.
Please keep the pics coming. ( should have made into a movie, you might have got an Oscar )

Now sir there are fish sheds, fish houses, and fish farms, but i can say that nothing i have ever seen compares to yours, just shear mind blowing and fabulous.

WOW, WOW, WOW!

The above doesn't give what you have achieved justice, your project is awesome sir, i have had great delight in reading and looking at the pictures and would like to say a big thank you for letting me see such a great fish project come to life i would very much like to see the finished project with fish happy in the tanks in that mansion of a fish palace.

A very very big welldone to you and your shear hard work truely a work of fish art.



Lee.

Thanks for all the kind words,its nearly there.

quick update.

Plastic end caps added to the stand legs.



I have added some 60mm wide pieces of galvanised steel,under the polystyrene,this is to stick the led lights to.This is only on the plec rack.





Brackets added to the non plec racks.these bolt on and hold the lights for the top tanks.
Will be adding a strip of stainless to bolt the link lights on to.

You cease to amaze me Sam, it just gets better and better.

another update,

few more hours tonight

Lights for upper tank,Lh rack.
Fitted a piece of thin Galvanise across the top and fitted 3 x 18w (2ft) link lights.




Lights fitted to Racking





Red tape is a reminder for me to add heat shrink to the connections.
I have fitted a total of 9 link lights,they are all 18w each and have seperate switches on them.

Upper tank lights working

Booked today as holiday.

Started fitting led lights.

These are 5050 3 led modules,in strings of 20.Only 14.5w per length(3m)
Top shelf-Plec rack







Led lights on.Top shelf only





Tanks

Amazing it just looks so professional.

I have been wiring in the 2x 6way switch boxes.



Have also added 3 silica gel sachets,that should absorb any moisture if any should get in.

Led moonlight/sunset/sunrise added into the 5ft fluorescent



This picture shows the 2 strips of Leds one each side of the tube.
Waiting for a 240v-12v transformer to run them,should be here this week coming.
