Can you please share the dimensions of your movie room and the projection screen area? Thanks!
I'll double check but the dimensions are roughly 16x23. There's tons of websites that vice the ideal viewing proportions. I told my architect to make it as big as possible while taking into account all the other space we needed to accommodate. Oh btw- my screen is 136 inches on the diagnol. I should've gone a bit bigger. ����

I've read through every post in your epic start to finish build with great interest. I have to say you have built what to many would be their dream tank....congrats to you and I cannot wait to see both finished house and tank)

What?
Ive had a bunch of people message me, wanting to see photos of other parts of the house. I was going to wait till the space is a bit more complete but I grabbed a few additional photos. Ill get some more at the end of the day and post pictures. Not much to see right now - we are in the final 45 days of construction hopefully to get all the loose ends wrapped up.
Here is our main hallway. We have my wine cellar at the end of the hallway. The entire hallway will be covered in wainscot- the arches will have columns with trim.
This is my movie theater. Black paneling. The walls will be black. The carpet will be black. But I have red seats on order. I plan on sitting in the seats and watching many a good movies here:
Another view of the theater
This is my wifes closet. Yes, its two stories. We were doing framing and had some empty space behind the closet. Decided to frame it up and add a second story. She loves her closet. The photo does not show the complete closet here. The moulding and trim work is already in place. Ill snap a photo of that later:
Need to move the tank into the theater, add a fridge next to your chair for beer and sodas, and an intercom for "Hey wife, bring me food", then you'd be set.
Very beautiful house!

Checking back in. Moving along nicely, when is construction supposed to be done?
Do you anticipate a problem here? There is no way to clean 75 feet of underground piping. None that I know of atleast.
By set you mean divorced correct? Lol.
Thank you. I am indeed a very lucky man. Tank is wrapped up and protected in multiple layers of wrap.
Construction is done not soon enough! The only things left to do in the house are the floors and put in appliances and final finish work. Stucco has bed. Started and roof and stucco will be done end of next week. I'm hoping to move in at the end of August.
Yes,
Look at page 612 plumbing mantainance of
"The reef aquarium science art and technoloog, j. Charley Delbeek And Julian Spung..."
Also i know of a cooling method using pipes untherground who where fouled after 3 years and flow was dropped 1/2.
If you know somebody with a reefaquarium wit pvc pips which can be openend and are in use For Lets say a year go there and have a look inside of one....
Than think how yours will be with all the bends. There Will be plenty off food coming from youre fish only....
And hopefully no fish or shrimp who got lost...

My old tank was about 7 years old. After this time the pipes was good!?
Let's just say build up in the lines is the least of my worries. There are no joints- it's one solid pex pipeline. There will be roughly 13000 gph of flow through the 2 inch lines. Not too concerned about anything getting caught in there. And no I did not read 612 pages of plumbing maintainance.
I wouldn't be too worried about the pipe fouling. Barring a collection of large shells getting wedged in the plumbing it should be fine for many years. Even if something were to get lodged or over time flow was substantially reduced there are a number of different attachments that can be used on pipe snakes. From brushes and grinders to high pressure water jets. As long as there is easy access for a clean out it's not a concern.
Just pump some shower scrubbers through the pipes periodically. Have a tee and a valve on the bull of the tee to pull it out when it gets to the pump. We do this on a much different scale in the natural gas industry. It's called "pigging a pipe".
If you got real intersted, you could pipe in a "pig" catcher (shower scrubber catcher).
(The wire bristled cleaning missile (pig) we send through the pipe squeels like a pig when it goes through at almost super sonic speeds)
Congrats so far, nice house and build.
