My "fishroom" is being built in the closet of my birdroom. Its currently a work-in-progress, I'm still working on heating and need to run my airlines on the 10's. I can run up to eight 2.5gal Eclipse tanks(currently four), eight 10gal, four 4gal plastic fry tanks, and 2 20gal(one high, one extra high-these will have power filters). I am setting this up so I can breed and show IFGA guppies. Attachments:

Standard $100 rack is rated for 600lbs per shelf, I put down sheets of styrofoam on the shelves to help with making sure the pressure is evenly distributed on the tank bottoms.

IFGA stands for International Fancy Guppy Association, check out their website www.ifga.org"IFGA guppies" means guppies bred to their show standards. |

I'm hoping albino reds and Moscow blues. Planning on contacting Luke Roebuck soon.

Luke has good stock, as does Stan Shubel and Jim Alderson.
There is another who lives in Fla. with great stock, but I am drawing a blank on his name.
When I think of it I'll post it here.
We have a co-member here from East TN who has some very nice stock also, but I don't believe he competes with the IFGA. His pen name is bayway. You can look him up in the member list and contact him. I think he has a web site too, but don't know the name of it.
Sells on AB a lot, and I have some of his stock. True breeding and nice stock too.

I'm still working on heating. Right now the room is only staying 70-74, so I need to find a space heater with a thermostat. My BF says he has one, but he still needs to dig it out for me.
