The time has come to strip down this fishroom. Actually, it's fishroom v4.
V1 was my first multi-tank set-up in my bedroom at parental home; it got moved a mile across town (because of a girl) and then came back a year later. V2 was set-up in the first place I owned, it took my first import of fishes from a collecting trip to Peru in 2000 - eight tanks on 4 dual stands. Later, in the same property I converted a typical Edinburgh tenement boxroom into my first "proper fishroom" (v3). I will, one day, find some photos of it, I know they exist somewhere. I also had a 48x18x18 display tank in the house before I moved out of Edinburgh.
Fishroom v4 is the one featured in this thread. Hundreds of photos on this site were taken in this room, fishes from seven families of fish have bred here. It has produced a lot of shrimp. It's been graced by aquatic dignitaries from the world over and seen my three children grow. The elder two now have their own tanks. The floor is warped and one end of the room is supported by two car jacks under the floor joists. The walls a damp on one side and the fitted kitchen sink is rotten. Time to strip down, dry and plan v5!
