WOW WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!

Holy Crap Chris, your basement is nicer than my 3300 sq. ft house!!!

Damn Man, Great Job! And your tank isnt done or Stocked which is gonna be more impressive than anything!!!

Excellent work man and its no wonder why its taken soo long!

Please keep the updates coming!!!!

Thanks Ryan! Yeah it has been a very expensive tank...since the basement was built around the tank

I should have water in it soon...I have to bore out my 2 overflows a little bit to fit the 2" bulkheads better...

I title these pics- "Debauchery- the infant years". That basement is going to see some ludicrous times to come.

I fully agree...there will be good times to come down here...there is 1500sq ft for pure pleasure

oh and basements can see...havent you hear that the walls have eyes?

Thanks! I went for the "Colorado" look and am very pleased with the end product

Great job Chris, looking forward to seeing it in person one of these days.

Thanks Cris! You will be one of the first to see it up and running...very soon

Looks very nice chris,good idea on adding the pondliner to keep potential water spills off your new carpet.

Thanks Kieth! The pond liner is a must for me. I have one under my 180 and it saves me daily. This one was the size of a small bedroom...gives me a good piece of mind.

Incredible List Chris!!!

I can not wait for it to be complete!!!

 

[Dejavu]

That's a nice list of fish Chris! Should be an awsome display.

 

[stunreefer]

WOW, place looks amazing Chris! I think I need to find a "meeting" for work in CO so I can come check this out!

Nice fish list to man, VERY nice :thumbsup:

Sweet!!! More FOWLR tanks... More pics...

 

[jjk_reef00]

More shenanigans, just kidding. Where did you find that video!

This build is amazing! I'm curious why you want 2 Achilles tangs? Do you have any specific plans for how you are going to go about finding and adding 2 healthy specimens? Achilles are one of my favorite fish and I want to add one after I upgrade. Adding 2 of them would be amazing! I can't wait to see your tank progress!

Nice basement Chris!!! How big is the equipment room?

 

[ccampbell57]

Nice basement Chris!!! How big is the equipment room?

Thanks David! The equipment room is about 125sq ft. It i a big "L" shape. I was going to make the tank 48" deep, but I would have had only 20" to walk behind the tank. The area that is the long part of the L is ~21'x5'.

Update 3/9/2010

All plumbing completed...did a fresh water test last night and only had 1 leaky bulkhead...not bad considering there are 11 on the tank

flow in the tank is amazing...

 

[roktsintst]

Good to hear!!!

Your getting closer!
