Getting back in after about 1.5yr break. For those who dont know i left the hobby because we were planning a move and after much consideration it was best and easier for me to just sell off. Now things are settling down at the new house so its time to start getting back in.
So far the plan is to start small with frag and QTs and eventually put a bigger DT in the dining room on the same wall as the frag/QT in the garage. Im sure this will come with some challenges as i have never put tanks in a garage before. My initial concern was heat during summer but the garage seemed to stay very cool during the summer was suprised. May need to add some fans for those really hot days and Luis brought up that it might get to humid in the garage guess will have to figure it all out then. Would like to hear any other problems and solutions you guys have dealt with having tanks in a garage.
Dining room where DT may go later.
Wall in garage backs up to the dining room had some shelves built in.
Tore those down and spackled the wall. Will paint before build starts.
RO/DI in utility room to the left of the garage wall. Will run the outlet to garage through the wall and into a container.
Used those shelves and wood to build a 8x2 stand for all the tanks and just general work and storage area.
Received bunch of goodies in the mail today.
