Finished fish room project. Pics as promised

I'm not sure what order I have the pics in, but my project is finished.  Cleaning up my mess was the least fun part.

My top 250 gallon water storage was plumbed for water by a real plumber when I first set up the fish room.  I needed to install another 20 unit pump and plumb air to it, the blue water storage containers, the brine shrimp hatcheries, and the 75 gallon.  I had to plumb incoming water to the 75. 

The rack the 75 gallon is on was first a stand,a before I had the fish room built, afterward a work bench, and is now back to being a stand.  As you can see there is room on the bottom for a 100 gallon :)  The white work bench was a tank stand in the house.  Then I had it in the laundry room being storage and a flat surface to put laundry on.   Now it's a work bench and has fish stuff storage underneath.  Suddenly I have room in the laundry room for a dryer and a smaller flat surface for laundry.

Then there are the 2 100 gallons I repaired.   One has fish in it and the other is empty.  Imagine, an empty 100 gallon tank!

No tanks or fish just good friends and allot of fun...

Thank you gentlemen.  I consider it not half bad for a self taught amateur.

Good job Liz.  I'm still amazed that you were able to move those big tanks.  I start getting muscle spasms in my back just thinking about it.  You are a strong lady.
When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because those weirdos are your tribe.  (Sweatpants & Coffee)

Looks like a super job, well done Liz.....the satisfaction of having it finished is great, huh?....pop some tunes on, crack a cold one, sit back, and enjoy....you deserve it  ;D

I've always been active.  Never had a desk job.  I thinks that it has helped now that I'm old.

Well done Liz!  Still can't see how you lifted those tanks alone.  And you aren't old.

Let's agree on a couple of things.  I am 62 3/4 years old.  I call that old.  But when I set my mind to doing something I can do it.  After all these years I have a pretty good idea of what I can tackle myself and what I have to hire pro's for.
