Peredhil Fish Room

Behind my tank is a set of stairs. On the other side of that is a closet.

This will end up being a small room where I can finally get an RO/DI unit, water reservoir, ATO and auto dosing pumps. I will document the build here.

I started the investigation on another thread
http://www.3reef.com/forums/general-reef-topics/access-panels-need-ideas-66083.html

Now that I'm going forward, I thought I'd do a full build thread.

 

So I didn't like that opening at all and have now done this!


Door closed (held shut w/super magnets)

Great Job! Looks awesome and I hope it works out for what you desired!

 

cool.. what else will you put in here? seems like you have a decent amount of room to work with..

 

I'm going to put a 5 gallon bucket in there with a PH to make saltwater and another 5 gallon bucket that will just hold spare RO/DI freshwater. In addition to the 5 gallon ATO reservoir. I will run the little tubes through the wall in an oversized cable wall face plate to the tank.

I'll also store all my bulkreefsupply supplement buckets (etc) in there. I'm going to build little shelves and make a small shelf/table. you may notice in one pic, I have a chair in there.

And maybe some other stuff

 

Nice ideas! I like the door with magnets. Can't wait to see your progress!!

 

I have now added power receptacles (starting w/a GFCI outlet) and added the light to the existing hardware.





That will be it, pretty much for now. In next couple of weeks I will research and get an RO/DI unit, ATO, float valves, dosing pumps, timers, etc. Around that time, I will build the necessary shelving, etc.

Stay tuned ;D

 

I added a plastic sheet ceiling to catch any fall-out.

Found a rug that fits exactly... awesome race track!!!

Also found a table thing at a garage sale that fit perfect for three bucks!

Hurray. So I moved some stuff in there...





I can fit 4 <break> 5 gallon buckets under/behind this table. So that's nice.

 

I do see one thing missing from this picture... well two things.... where is your chair and mini-fridge for the beer?

 

Looking good! And what's the use of a road if you got nothin' driving on it? Get an RC car or something. Then you will have a pretty handy man space down there
