les Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Hi Mum That was a good idea replacing the MDF ceder planking is much more durable. Its a very tidy set up you have ther what do you have in the tanks Cheers les Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumofthehoarde Posted September 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 The Island: On here I am going to have my cursed barracks, spawn tanks and when I get it, my sorority tank. I have Bettas in basically all of these tanks. A few have fancy guppies. Elsewhere in the house is my husband's Bristlenose,Peps and Ls tanks. Then there is my daughter's tank with "Stanley" the Black Ghost Knife. And I wont show you the pic of my other daughters's very grotty gold fish tank. Still to come in this area is the barracks I am working on building. Hopefully I can post some completed photos soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrefly Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Poor goldies.. So rarely do they get any love! The setup looks fantastic though, well done.. I'm super jealous of (What looks like) a dedicated fish & capucchino room :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wow, love it! Great set up - it's so neat, and the stands are a great way of saving space. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mumofthehoarde Posted September 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) If each 30cm Tank uses its heater and light for 12 hours a day it will consume 116kw of electricty per year The Aqua One barracks again using 12 hours of Heater and Light per day uses over a year 175kw. The 2' sorority should use 459kw per year. And my home made barracks should use 573kw. If electricity costs 27c per kilowatt all these tanks will cost me $1076 in electricity for the year. I havent worked out what my husband's tank cost yet. Edited September 11, 2011 by mumofthehorde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to know that I am getting the setup right...now I just need to get a spawn to make it through...I have had 2 spawnings but lost them with the first week. Now I have microworms, VE and Gridals. Finger crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yanagi Posted September 11, 2011 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 Great set up.. Wondering if it would be more efficient to heat the room rather than each individual tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
