LOL you read too fast! i quickly noticed my dumbness and already edited that question out of my post hehe. i might just give that company a call and see if they service my area. epoxies are not easy to work with on a large scale (at least not to me, yet)

there are different types you can used. here's what i used, my house was new construction at the time when it was prep and apply.

It look very nice Bart, but how much does it cost to finish an 2 cars garage?

BART, are they expensive?

 

[Jar*Head]

Ok folks, here is my final decision.

I will insulate the two walls, garage door and use two parts epoxy on the floor. I am not going to build the little room because after i finish with the insulation and the floor, i will be broke . Plus it look cleaner without that little room.

Heating plan
i will buy the gas operated heater with thermostat for the garage

Cooling plan
I will get the 1.5hp tradewind chiller

Decoration
I will have a couch and coffee table (no TV). Laptop to access RC and other reef forums .

What else do i need?

how about cutting hole through the wall and covered it up with a painting? then removed the painting when you want to view it. still be considered 3 sides viewable .

I made the promise of no wall cutting or drilling hole. But i may need a couple for the breakers and the RODI line

Steven...when is this tank getting wet?

 

[Jar*Head]

Sean, i am not sure when the tank will get wet but everytime i look at the tank. I get wet

Should be sometime in May

 

[SeanT]

Dont buy your chiller yet.

 

[Jar*Head]

How come?

 

[tbone28]

Man, I miss a few hours today, and there are so many changes! I think you need to change the title of your thread back to "Planning"

 

[Jar*Head]

I am done with planning . Tank will be in the garage. I will pimp my garage as well...

 

[tbone28]

I think the compromise with putting it in the garage is making it an in-wall. You should sell to your wife how relaxing it will be to see the tank during dinner, etc. Also, your little one will love to see the tank, and you don't want the little one to catch a cold going into the garage

 

[Jar*Head]

That sound very convincing. But i like to be able to claim my own space. She can have the living room, dining room and whatever room she like... I will take half of my garage....

 

[tbone28]

Sounds like it's going to be a Man's room
