Study room=Study about fishes/shrimps…New aquarium room

[Prashanta]

Friends,
Was planning to convert my study room to study cum Aquarium room. It was a long pending task but finally got approval from the home ministry department (my mother and wife) :) :) :)

The room size is 10X11 and I guess it’s the best place for my aquarium and none of the walls are directly exposed to sun light.

Attached are the plan pictures….Will keep you guys updated…

Looks good, do keep us posted. Also instead of doing big tanks you can do shrimp racks with more tanks instead. I find that more tanks is better on this hobby so you will always have more room for selective breeding and if you don't want to mix or interbreed.

Thanks MananaP.
Actually The 5ft rack is there with me from last 1 year and Tank-1,2 and 6 too...
This weekend I would be getting my 4feet rack and then have to make 6 more tank (Tank-3 to 5 and 7 to 9).

Good to see plans and good luck with the project Prashanta...also good to see that India has ' home ministry departments' and regulations galore.

Just like the UK........!! My planning submission usually goes through by bribing that department with a holiday ...LOL

Woah. How much lighting do you have on that leftmost tank? It looks brighter than the window.

Christ Count....you may be good at shrimping but your shrimp / study looks like it's been burgled...LOL.

My wife would take one look at this room and place a nuclear fall-out sign on the door......You made my day !!!

72 watts T5 HO on a 20 long.

Count, if you tidy up a bit and get it more organised, your wife would be pleased with you. It is not just about shrimp keeping, but house keeping as well:D:D. May be you could have even more tanks.

Wow count if i make such a mess in my living area which is also where i kept my shrimp tank my wife will get someone to clear it all out overnight..... hahaha now every damn nite after i mess around with my tanks i got to do housekeeping for my shrimptank area.
