I am having a after thought and might be moving this pole. Maybe I should take a pole as to whether or not to move the pole.

 

[dbuesking]

Man, that fish room is looking nice Dave! Do you have an Idea as to when you're going to be ordering the tank?

Thanks! Jason, I am thinking I might be ready by early July, so I will probably order it end of this month.:dance:

[dbuesking]

LMAO:lol:

We could set it up next to the beer pong table in Kraash's garage. The question is... Who is going to be the one using it? This could get ugly

 

[Tater11]

Lmao yep that's it you read my mind I wonder if nancy would get upset if I put one in our fish room hmmmmm lol

[Nanook]

Actually I have been trying to decide whether to put 2 of them on the back or 1 coast to coast on the left side. I like the idea of being able to have a 3 sided view. Any thoughts?

 

[dbuesking]

I will be ordering the tank at the end of this month. For right now it will be
72x37.5x30.5H That is a standard glass cages 350. It will have star fire on 3 sides.

 

[Nanook]

Sahweet!

 

[Tater11]

I would say it depends on where you"re going too locate your sump

 

[dbuesking]

So I have decided to put the overflow box on the left side of the tank and have a 3 sided view with the sides star fire glass. I am going to order the tank next week.

Was able to complete a little more of the room.

I decided to wrap the tank area with the extra FRP i had left over.

I am going to use 1" blue foam as my ceiling pads so as to block any moisture from getting to the house.

Next on the list is the floor, then building the stand and equipment shelfing.:hammer:

 

[zero26]

Where are you going to order the tank from? I was reading on another forum that a guy ordered a custom tank from Marineland.

 

[dbuesking]

Glass Cages. It is hard to beat there price.

 

[Apollo1K9]

This tank is proving to be absolutely awesome so far. Makes my 120 seem small now, lol. Can't wait to see how this whole project progresses!
