Updated Shrimp Room 9/13/08

I figured I would add a few more pictures of my shrimp room as a lot has changed since the first posted pictures.  All 10 tubs are currently filled and 6 have shrimp in them.  I have finally removed all my tanks from my upstairs bedrooms and moved them into the shrimp room.  All the 20gals will eventually be either on a top shelve or moved to another part of the shrimp room.  They will also eventually be drilled but I wanted them out of my upstairs ASAP.

Someone here in AZ was kind enough to give me 6 tanks that are roughly 60 gallons each.  They were from an old Petco.  They were dirty and old but the price was right. Here is an example of what the tanks looked like when I got them.  I removed the dividers by cutting the silicon and pulled out the overflow boxes.  I also had to plug the one hole that was drilled at the top for the overflow and drill another one about half way down to attach a ball valve to so I can quickly drain the tank and do my water changes.   These pictures are in my back yard before I started cleaning them up.
