Here's some pics of my family room where I spend far too much of my time. I've also noticed the frequency of bars in the vicinity of the tanks. I personally didn't plan it that way, but in retrospect, I'm pretty delighted it happened.
Great stuff everybody! Still waiting to see Marc's though....:eek1:

I'm really going to disappoint you guys when you see my livingroom. It really isn't nearly as much fun as yours. And wow - I covet your woodburning stove! I so want one of those for some reason.
And I'll be honest, I'd like to get a little remodel done on one wall before I post. But since I know you can wait that long, I'll probably just post the shot, and then when the remodel is done, show you the difference. I got a flat screen TV finally after years of yearning, and now I want to change that entire wall to make the TV look awesome. The plan is to remove everything on that wall now, and create a built in look for some stuff (component gear mainly, but speakers too), move all the wiring to where it needs to be to create that clean look, texture, paint...
Plus I still have the old 56" Panasonic tv in the living room eating up some real estate unfortunately.

Not as colorful as Melev's (may have to get the paintbucket out after the holidays) Here is where the dogs and I hang out in the family room down in the lower level of the house with a walk out. Out the back door and under the deck is a koi pond..in the backyard is a lake. And inside is my 125 reef tank. I must have this "thing" for H2O.
When we built, we made sure to make extra headroom knowing we would finish the lower level for more living space. So the ceilings are higher than average and we used extra heavy duty trusses so no support poles would be in the room.
Now all I need to do is get real furniture and actually do a real design for the whole room....with the tank as the centerpiece of course.
I've really enjoyed seeing others tank rooms. Nice!:thumbsup:
Entering from the upper level down the steps:
From the back door view
Opposite room:
Where I sit every morning with coffee and every afternoon when I finish working:
Sump/work room on other side of wall of the tank:
My respite:
(hope these pics aren't too big)

Very nice. The colors in my pictures really seem a tad more wild than what the house really looks like in person. I'll just have to shoot new pictures and try to get something a little more accurate.
The mirror on that one wall was there when I bought the house, and I love it. Another project on my list is to make a picture frame to go around it. I even have the trim in the garage, so I don't have a good excuse why it isn't done. However, with my wall rebuild, I'll probably do that at the same time, as I'll be running new baseboard as well.
Great, even more work. LOL

Wow, a Purple Heart. I salute you. I'm just trying to figure out what the medal to the left of it is.
