    WOW!!! I have been watching you for some time now, and decided to share this video with my wife, and "oh boy", was i happy to hear her say that the "SHED FISH ROOM", is something that i can absolutely have!!!! I almost passed out hearing her say those words.(just kidding,but I was very surprised and happy) Thank you so much for sharing your own fish rooms and more importantly, the FISH.... Good Day.

    Hello Andy I’ve just watched your video and how you have set your fishroom up which is a credit to you and just goes to prove we don’t need a large garage or basement to enjoy our fish or it cost us a fortune to run especially in these difficult times with energy cost being what they are !!
    I’m just in the process of having some much needed building work done and once finished I will be coming into the hobby I want my fishroom to be around the same size as your own , fully insulated including the floor and I do like the heating the room idea so something I shall be certainly trying 👍.

And the pumps pipe that goes into the plastic pipe, is it just make a hole in the plastic pipe and just put the pupm pipe in and then all the tank water just flows back and fourth from the sponges to the pump. Please can you let me know. Thank you.

  • @grantdyble3472

    I’m guessing Andy is from the West Midlands. The very coldest you’d ever get is probably around -5c or 23f but that will be at the extreme end and only for very short stints. Most of the coldest bits of winter will be a few degrees above freezing with a few odd snow days. A lot warmer than most places at our latitude.

      @andywoodscichlids2942  3 роки тому +4

      I've not a clue. I keep my eye on water temp not room temperature. I'll turn my heater up after a water change, then right back down again once all tanks have stabilised.
      Once stabilised the heater is set just high enough to keep everything good trial and error. I just keep checking water temp.
      Smaller the air space the more economical it is. So the more tanks you cram in the better.

    Great video thanks ! Juat wondering did you have to reinforce the floor of the shed?

      I put joists running across the opposite direction to the originals. Only were the feet of the racking are.
      Your OK as long as you don't put racking feet directly onto the floor boards. Make sure the feet are on joists only.
      Hope that makes sense 🤔🤔 to you.

    Great vid gives me some ideas for my shed. What rack are you using for your 6foot tanks?

    • @andywoodscichlids2942
      @andywoodscichlids2942  3 роки тому

      Don't know what it's called. It's just clip together steel racking. Like warehouse shelving.
      Sorry I'm not much help.

    That was a great video....do you ever get condensation in fish room?I'm suffering in my shed on roof had to remove it.

      Very little condensation. The shed is mostly warner than the tanks, so no condensation. Also all the tanks are well covered with glass sliders. Thanks for watching happy fishkeeping to you sir.

    Hi Andy. I’m busy building my own fish room in my garage. Came across this video. Brilliant advice and very informative. Quick Q. How did you stop the racks from pressing through the floor insulation.

    • @andywoodscichlids2942
      @andywoodscichlids2942  2 роки тому

      The racks go directly onto the timber joints. The insulation is cut around the timbers. Hope that makes sense to you.

    Andy great video, thank you. I was thinking all the way through the video "how does he do water changes" them bam you answered it lol.
    I'm currently running 3 tanks. Was thinking about doing something like yours. Do you get much condensation/mould from evaporation?
    I'm in Ireland, can get quite damp here. That's my only concern

    • @andywoodscichlids2942
      @andywoodscichlids2942  3 роки тому +1

      If you well insulated and heat the room there's no condensation.
      If you heat the tanks higher than room temperature then you will have evaporation. Then condensation.

    Australia watching.Do you know of the idea of running off back pressure? I noticed you didn’t mention it. It may safe you burning out air pumps every 6 months? I subscribe to King and Queen cichlids. It will do your channel no harm to get a bit more exposure. Good luck mate.

    Hi I’m trying to find a 500w oil radiator but they seem very small do you know what make your one is please and how much of an area it would heat if insulated well like your fish room thank you

      Mine is very old, picked it up for £5 at a car boot sale.
      I have seen new 650w rads for sale on occasions.
      Mine keeps things warm with the thermostat set at 50% of max.
      The more tanks you can squeeze into the fishroon the more efficient it is.
      Little air space more water.
      It can take I wile for all tanks to reach temp, but once there. They help keep the room warm to.
