im building a fish room and would like a few ideas on filtration please

How big is the tank going to be? What type of filtration are you considering? Commercially bought filters, or one you will build your self? Obviously If you're building a fish room, it will enable you to get everything right, hopefully first time.

i have done a small 13 tank room a few years ago and used sponge filters and canisters on the parents tanks but i are going to have about 30 to 40 tanks this time most will be 4 foot but my oscar pairs will have 4 x 2 x 2 tanks so not sure to run sumps on parents tanks and sponge on fry tanks what do you think

thats huge! are you a professional breeder?

if your keeping fish with all the same water specs i would consider going with a sump setup. you could hook all your tanks into one sump and do all your biological filtering with it. however if you have a disease prob withone of the tank it could spread to all of them with this setup.

yer i guess i manage a aquarium and before when i had 13 tanks i didnt have contacts and had a bit of trouble with what fish were in demand but now i have the contacts and they let me know what they want and i will be giving it to them when i get the room up and going. i work full time and then come home and work on the room so its pretty full on he he

i wish you lived next door to me lol...i would love to do what your doing..
