In this thread I’m going to try to share the creation of my new fishroom . It won’t as in depth as some others have done so just the basics . First tank in the fishroom is the tank we picked up on the side of the road in Toronto when our bus broke down . It’s actually a sump used to filter a larger tank but I’m repurposing it into four separate smaller tanks . Each section is around 6 gallons This is water testing it in the kitchen ( when the wife’s away anything goes lol )

Two of the partitions have two panes glass about 3/4 of an inch apart . I figured if I leave this as is debris would just accumulate , so what to do . I decided to fill them with the same gravel used in each section . I think it looks pretty cool .

Here’s how it looks with filters running and a piece of dragon stone in each . The third section has some guppy grass and the forth section has some java moss .

First off it just awesome to see you posting on your fish room. Secondly it is great to see the bus trip rescued tank put to good use. I really like the gravel between the sections and makes it a unique and eye catching. Very nice and I will be watching this thread with interest.
