Looking for Professional Help for Redesign

[FirstContact]

Looking for professional help to redesign my fish room in an unfinished basement and have a finished fish room and probably finish the basement too. Not sure where to look. I tried a couple of local companies and one didn't do that type of work and the other never called back. Not sure where to look for help. Located in Glenn Dale (Bowie) Maryland.

Looking for names of aquatic companies that people have actual experience with and would do this type of work. Anyone? Or is it all DIY?

Professional as in a construction company? Or an architect/engineer to design and lay out the room?

More like design, layout, and what materials to use as far as a fish room. I also need guidance from someone experienced with aquatic design, layout, and materials so that it's done right to pull this together with different construction people or whatever the path is and to convince the wife that a hole in the house for ventilation and hammering a drain in the concrete floor will be okay . She doesn't like hearing these things from me, but prefers to hear it from other people in my clubs and or especially licensed and bonded professionals.

I'm just really not a professional builder/designer/architect and my fish area has come together over the last 10 years as I have made changes, additions, or upgrades. It's not terrible, but I'm looking for something more finished and polished and would like a dedicated fish room separated from the rest of the basement. My wife and I would probably finish the rest of the basement too.

I'd be down to do a proposal/ design just for fun if you want to post some more specifics. Cant garuntee it will get done well or quickly, but it would be fun.

I'm no professional but have an architectural background and 7 years experience in the hobby.

Hi ETmanning,

Awesome offer. I’ve been swamped with end of year projects at work and the holidays. Sorry for the late response. I’ll try to post information and dimensions Sunday!

Cool! Just give as much info as you can and I'll see what I can do.
