So this week I have accumulated 8 more tanks, resealed and thoroughly cleaned and tested them and am ready to start building the frame for my tank wall. Hopefully I have time to start this weekend! Attachments:

I keep most of my tanks all together. Make things a lot easier. But great start nice cleaned sealed tanks. Also I have a complete 10 gallon for $20 if you want it and don't need to seal it its currently holding water. Had hood light filter gravel etc. Selling it for a friend who also breed guppies but has to cut back a little due to hard times. .

they aren't staying on the ground like that. I am building a large grid on the wall with 2x4s and facing it with plywood. They will be side by side, but nothing too low to the ground or too high up so I can have easy access to everything. I will be running long T5s that will light several tanks at a time and I am cutting acrylic to cover the tops instead of hoods. I think I will pass on the 10, but thanks I prob have enough small tanks. I might put another 55 or 40 in there and that will prob be it.

lol well I know there not staying on the ground. But your plan is solid. Most of mine are on my breeding wall. My tanks are on two levels on a custom built metal stand. Can fit five 5.5 gallon tank side ways across the bottom and four, 10 or 15 gallon tanks sideways across the top. Now i don't have set up full like that at the moment. Instead I have one 15 gallon, two 10 gallons, two 5.5 gallons and a 2.5 gallon. Attachments:

lol well when it s comes to breeding guppies you need small tank. Because I do line breeding. But there done up nice. I take pride in what I have. For me at the moment is all about space. I promise the next place I move into I will be getting more tanks to go along with these of larger size. Need to move to bigger place. lol have to wait for that thou.

just an idea of how much we are reinforcing the corners. My husband tends to build things that will live through 50 hurricanes and 500 years! Attachments:
