Hey mate heres the pics.. ignore the mess haha the wife wont clean it. :whistle:

I have one shelf to sort out.. i have a tank waiting for me to get it up and running and it could do with another 3ft split on the same shelf.

View from the door.

Left hand side. Racking is 5ft long. Extra space towards the door is for Water storage, Electricity Input and egg tanks.

Right hand side. Racking is 6ft long, Bottom shelf is an ongoing project haha.

Bottom shelf Right hand side. Tank needs a 3rd coat of paint then ill fill it. Seeded sponges and Seeded water so mini cycle then away we go.

Left hand side. Egg tanks and behind water storage is where the electricity comes in.

Old faithfull. Hailea V60 lifted up with the aid of some spare insulation pieces haha.

Hi mate i never used that insulation actually.. i have 18mm ply on the outside of the shed. I used 25mm poly and then skimmed over internally with 9mm ply. Heaters are hardly on and seems pretty cheap to run.. Just had a bill and was amazed how cheap actually, i just preffered white as i thought it would be impossible to take decent pics if the whole place was silver, as for the tanks i would definately paint them on 3 sides, looks a lot better and fish cant see other fish who live next door.
