I have a question
The side of my tank the width will be going against a outside wall. 1. It will be going tight against it Should I put drywall and painted it right away (will never have access to that side of tank) 2. Should I leave like 6 inches of space then I can drywall and somehow paint later. (This will push my tank further in room just trying to minimise going out this far.) Just thought of this issue before my tank is installed and I'm like oh oh now what. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

You definitely want to insulate and seal that wall for moisture before the tank goes anywhere near it. How will you protect those wooden sill plates and studs along the wall if there is spillage or leakage or fkupage? You will want to keep the tank off the wall at least 6" to let you get back there to deal with inevitable future problems. Best would be to put a fish room back there but that might push the tank further into the room than you had planned for.

I have a door frame and part of my tank bottom nailed to the floor.
It starting to take shape. We opted to leave a 6inch gap in the left side so I have some access to that part of the tank. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Stand coming soon If we need to shim the stand what do you use so under the weight it won't break the shims. We are going to build the tank spec as the floor from the left to right goes down I think 1 inch. Sent from my SM-G920W8 using Tapatalk

Better to use self-leveling compound to level the floor first, reducing or eliminating the need for shims in the first place.

your room is looking good !
are you tapering the floors to the drain or will it be flat? i am new to this forum but i am building a new home over the next 8 months and i am going to put a 250-300g tank in so i really will be following this thread. i have attached my plan (starting plan) but have not secured anything yet. |

It only needs to be level under the stand. This can be achieved by building a small dam with plywood strips and pouring levelling compound into it. The rest of the room can be sloped to the floor drain.

I have a ceiling question.
Should I? 1. Drywall it 2. Ceiling tiles Above the tank for lights. How do you know where to put supporting structure if you place up you ceiling and don't know what light you are planing to get? Need some advice things are moving way to fast now. Thanks sent from Winterpeg

Suspended ceilings are easy to install and alter when needed.
