Waiting is going to be rough but it's not like any waiting I've done previously. I have a tank so I'm still totally happy! Speaking of which...water change time! |

Well I'm sore as hell. Was a busy day getting my basement ready.
Few things changed (I'm sorta like Mike sometimes!): - Going regular glass afterall. Concept Aquariums will be here before Feb rolls around! - Absolutely no holes in the tank. Safety and energy efficient Vortechs. So before I built the stand (I'm getting really good at these) I had to frame my fishroom and behind the tank because it'd be really hard later. This was tough because I have to shuffle couches and stuff around to build walls in this tiny basement. I also had to demo and dispose of the silly half-wall the previous owners had made. If you look at the photo below you can see there is a floating wall. No idea why but it had to come down. Before: After: I still need to clad the sides with some plywood for lateral stability. Will likely use some scraps I have and not sheet the entire area as I don't think it's needed. The wall behind the tank needs some more love but I ran out of 2x4s. Off to bed. That was a rough one. |

No vapour barrier behind the studs?

I'm pretty sure vapor barrier always goes to the warm side on the insulation |

Vapor barrier goes after the studs
