Building a fish room in my garage. Planning and installing electric

Hi All! I am in the process of building a fish room in a kickout area of my garage. Lots to do and we are starting basically from scratch. I would love your thoughts and feedback on what I’m doing and let me know if you have any suggestions. Thank you, I appreciate it!

Adding outlets into my garage fish room. Please give any feedback, I’ve never added outlets before. I learned a lot!

adding outlets in the garage with a fish room in mind, id make the first one a ground fault outlet. are you adding on to an existing string of outlets, or running from the breaker box?

Hello Lefty,

Thank you so much for your feedback and response. Yes, I have pulled electric through a shared wall (in my laundry room) that is a 20 amp GFI. I then added a number of outlets in the fish room from that. Check out the video, and see if I did it right.

Thanks again!

Hello Fish Heads! Time for insulation. I had to insulate the attic area above the fish room. Here is a video of how and why I did what I did. I would really appreciate any feedback and discussion.

Hey Fish Heads! So the next part in my build is framing the fourth wall for the fish room. Check out what I did and how I did it. Hint, I’m the worst carpenter ever!

Making progress.  Always fun watching a new fishroom come together.

Just a suggestion, you may want to see if a mod can move the post to the "photos/videos/journals" section.

Its less likely to get lost in the shuffle and you can continue posting updates long after the build is complete.

Thank you so much s1_! I will see if I can ask the mods to move it.

All the best,

Here is the next installment. Here I begin to install the drywall on one side of the wall for the fish room. Check out my mistakes and how I get around them. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Question for everyone. What should I do next?

This far I’ve done:

1. Add electrical outlets

2. Insulate the attic space above the fish room

3. Frame, drywall and insulate the fourth wall of the fish room. (Currently finishing)

I plan to paint the walls and floor once the fourth wall is finished. After that should I:

A. Build racks

B. Set up drainage for water change system

C. Something else?

Thanks to the community for your help and input.
