Folks.............A request. In about 3 weeks my new fish room will begin to take existance. From the ground up it will be about 16' x 16' attached to the house as an add-on....standard 8+' high ceiling. Concrete brick walls and a cement floor with about a 1/2" slope/5-6" to a drain......it will have it's own heat/air conditioner, and all new 2x4 stands to be made as I choose. By the way I am in St Pete, Florida and thusly the concrete walls..........I figure about, depending on size, 60-70 tanks all facing lengthway out....no short ends of tanks. What I would like to ask of you guys is if this were your new room what 1 or 2 things would you insist on in terms of making a fish-room work............to raise apisto's of course.....;-)....this is an apisto list!!! Remember, this is from the ground up.............I am really excited and there are alot of you out there that I really respect and enjoy.....give me a hand.....thanks! Have fun and help me make this 30 year dream happen....throw in your suggestion!
