    So I decided I was going to build a room around the grow on to save on heading cost and so it looks nicer.

    Project is coming along well now

    I needed to build it so I am able to remove the tank without taking the whole thing apart. I will also need access to the pumps, heater, uv, filter

    Tank repositioned and supports added.

    It will be insulated with 50mm boards.

    The front lower panel can be removed.

    A mate had some spare 3mm Perspex from an old commercial bike rack so he brought Bmw a large sheet over.. So I could add some windows.

    Got the ship lap delivered for the cladding

    I have not decided how I will finish the main opening for the tank.. I would like to add a hatch or maybe doors.. I am going to finish it open for now as the weather is not cold. But I have decided I will have a window at either end and will partition the filter and main tank off

    Looking good Mikeh, and if you don't like the finished product you could always sell '' Mikes hotdogs '' or
    '' Mikes ice cream '' from it, stick some wheels on it and she will be good to go...................
