Amazing looking fishroom...wish I had a Garage that I could convert like you've done. You've earned my subscription. Look forward to seeing more updates from you, Ryan!
the concrete blocks under the fish tank in the corner are turned sideways, they have way more strength and structural integrity if you turn them so the holes are oriented up and down instead of side to side, you should be able to look down through the blocks to the floor. If they haven't already failed, you may want to drain that tank and fix this before it becomes a real problem for you and the fish inside that tank.
You guys are acting like he has tractor trailer trucks parked on the blocks. They might have 125 lbs of weight PER SIDE. My grandma weighs 130 lbs and if she can go around stomping concrete blocks in half then I'll stand corrected. Till then drop it.
+Brad Stumpf if you had paid all that money for fish and a tank, wouldn't you want the 6 dollars worth of concrete blocks supporting said tank and fish to be as strong as possible? You clearly have no concept of load bearing principals. Get real pal, anyone with any sort of practical knowledge knows how to orient concrete blocks for strength. You and the creator of this video clearly have no practical knowledge.
+Brad Stumpf Sure thing, turn the block sideways and watch it crumble. The integrity is in the design, not the concrete. Drop it from standing height and it will shatter.
Nice variety.. What do you feed all of these fish? I have one large tank, and it seems like they're absolute pigs.. With your volume of fish, can imagine you must go through buckets of food?
I feed New Life Spectrum Food. Best in my opinion but I also mix it up with a variety of vegtables and other foods with a lot of Spirulina in it. I am a dealer for the food so if you ever need some I deliever. HCI cichlids is my facebook page.
What temp do you keep the room at? Does it maintain well in the colder months? I am in Michigan and would like to set something bigger up in the garage Thanks
It maintains very well in the winter months. We got temperatures around -5 to -10 for quite a few days last winter and it kept up well. I keep the temperature at 78 on the thermostat.
I can tell by how they act usually but will sometimes just pull them out to look at them. Most of my breeders are in actual tanks and use these as grow out tubs
Everything looks good. BUT. That bright blue background paint is from hunger. You never want to have a background brighter than the fish colors. The fish do not present as attractively as they should and in fact, look washed out in most samples. Black would allow them to color up to better intensity and show better against the tank wall. If you have something against black, use a dark charcoal gray for neutrality. Just my not so humble opinion. Some project.
John Marsh Still building the website but have a facebook page with a list of what we have. Send me a message on there and I can send a price list over. Thanks

I'm working on my African Mbuna tank. I want to use black sand. Is there a reason why people do not use black sand?
I have used black sand in some of my tanks and it looks great just got to make sure you used the right stuff so it doesn't hurt the fish

Yes

Lazarus Gaming
If you look again, you will see multiple sponge filters.
