Fantastic tank and basement set-up. It looks like you've got a ton of room down there.
The bottom of your tank looks very realistic. Are those slate-like pieces of reef rock?

Wow! From what I can see in this pic:
My living room is layed out a lot like yours. And you're a fly fisherman too. Wierd.
I was also just telling my wife that I want to upgrade to a 72" x 30" x 24" low iron glass tank if/when I outgrow this 120.
Don't tell me you're a Sox and Pats fan too?

This makes me very excited for my 238g arriving 
slightly different dimensions (60x36x26) but I love the depth, and how you have kept your aquascape away from the glass on all sides so you can get the clean black back. I think I'm going to have to follow your lead. Oh yea, I would agree a TOTM will be coming, maybe 6 months or so more of growth and it will be prime time

Many thanks tbone28, Lunch, doog, cbui2, mcliffy2, and Julio
Yeah...I have all the equipment in the unfinished basement so I have a lot of room. As for the rock, it is 7 big pieces of Tonga (200lbs). The guy from my LFS picked them out for me and he did a fantastic job. I was looking for pieces that could stand by themselves and give me that space between the back wall.

My fault, I meant the little pieces of rock on the sand.
Are you a salty fly rodder by any chance?
Here's my living room:
I'm going to mount the TV and three low-profile speakers above the mantle and put the tank where the TV is now. Anyway, I thought the layout looked a lot like yours.

P.S. The Mets? OK. But awe man, the Giants? You da Devil.

Thanks Typhon
As for fly fishing, I do both fresh and salt but I have to say there is nothing like landing a False Albacore on a fly....what a freight train.
It does look like we have the same room setup. Mounting the TV over the fire place is a great idea.....I wish I had thought of that.
My condolences to you for the Pats :lol:
Yep.....my calcium was too high early on so it probably precipitated out and created hardened pieces of sand.<a href=showthread.php?s=&postid=11801025#post11801025 target=_blank>Originally posted</a> by TOO FLY

They look like thin pieces of limestone that I saw on this one flat in Andros.
I used to fish FW, but gave it up for fishing salt any chance I got. And I agree, FA, pound for pound beat just about any small sport fish in the fight dept. I've landed them to 12+ lbs. on Martha's Vineyard with 8 and 9 weights. One crappy weather day, my buddy and I landed 15+ 8-12 lb. albies each in one day. They're a blast. Next I'd like to land a sbft on the fly. Hopefully this season, but I say that every season.
My wife suggested moutning the TV there before, but it seemed like a PITA. I should've listened.
Accepted. Wait til next season though. :smokin: Oh. Did you hear? We won the 2007 World Series. Your Mets look half decent this year.
