Keith’s 50 gallon low boy fish room

Got the rubber cut and built a little frame to help contain any potential spill. Just ordered garage floor tiles that should be here Monday. Once those are in and I get the baseboard put on top, I’ll finish plumbing the ejector pump and build my stands!

Yea..i was toying with the idea of making a hole in the ground and adding a sump pump. I could have just drained my sink into it, but it would have been a lot of extra work, plus it would need to empty out the front of my house. Not a great look.
 
Floor is down and sink permanently installed. No leaks for the win!!! The pan should hold about 50 gallons of water before I get concerned. I’ll get some water detection sensors so I should be able to address things before they get to that point.

Tomorrow is trim and starting to build the stand. Perhaps a shelf or two above the sink for testing supplies.

Tank stand built and frag tank put in place. Tighter squeeze than I had anticipated, though I knew it would be tight. Stand may be a little high, but I’d prefer working height in the fuge below (yet to be put in). Gave myself a foot there, pushing the frag tank to about 40”.

Tight to the left where my mixing station is going to be as well. Tight all around, but better than trying to fit all this under a stand!! Once all the tanks are in place, I’ll likely wrap that stand in Azek, or something similar.
