here are some updated pics of the garage extension, we built this to house the tub we built for the trip, now i will have the 800 gallon pond inside the heated garage but not actually inside the garage, we made the front wall removable with a few screws, if we ever need to get a tank into or out of the garage, we just remove the wall , move the 800 gallon pond out of the way and thats it:) easy right :)
so anyway, we set up the filtration for the new fish today also, and now to the main plan, as soon as we get the fish here and everything calms down, we are going to build the extension onto the side of the garage for the new tank were going to build, ive had it in mind for a while, but now, it seems i have to do it sooner than later, so we have room for a 22' x 16' extension, so were going to do that first and then we will build the tank on the inside of that extension so it will roughly be 16' x 10' x 6' high, and depending on the cost of the acrylic will determin the length and height of the opening that will be seen from the current fishroom which is 22' x 24', i will start a post for everyone to see that extension and tank being built
