3 months later and I am getting ready to order the tank. Just need to save a bit more money. Here are some pics of the progress on the theater room and the fish room.
This is the theater room with drywall going up.
Here is a mock up of how big the tank will be in the room.
Here is the room after drywall and painting. The picture on the wall sits opposite where the tank will go.
Here is the left side of the fishroom.
Here is the right side of the fish room. I plan to remove the little window and install some sort of fan on a humidistat like you would find in a green house. So far I haven't had any luck finding one, so any advice would be appreciated.
I had a sub panel installed next to the tank in the fishroom. There are 10 circuits. 5 circuits have their own switch controlling them, to allow for easy maintianence. Of course everything is on its own GFI. I plan to use all these circuits to split up all umportant tank functions. For instance I will have 2 small return pumps running on separate circuits to protect me in case one fails.
The next step is to seal off the fishroom from the rest of the house. After that is done I plan to order the tank. I don't know exactly how much a 400 gallon glass tank weighs, but I am pretty sure I will need some volunteers when it arrives.
