What does your tank room look like?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I need to buy a house.
But I'm only 22, and I don't think I could deal with a 150K mortgage over my head yet.
anyhow, my fish room is my living room and my entertainment room...
anyhow, couldn't find my tripod, so I just balanced the camera on my dinner table opposite of the room.
and the tank...working through my algae cycle.. (I'm using that in-tank filter for carbon, and a sub-micron filter. As soon as the algae drops, I'll pull my carbon out.
here's a closeup of the tank
I've got 5 astreas..wheee

<b>21reefman</b> - Looks like Britney - works for me.
<b>Tom</b> - great room! Love the matching woodwork.
Marc, Good eye, it is. I was at Maddam Tsuso's (I'm sure I spelled that wrong) Wax museum in Las Vegas. That was her Wax statue.
Let's see a full room shot (and a close-up so I can see the final design) of your new set-up. I was following your build thread before I went to Vegas, I bet it turned out sweet!

What are the dimensions of that tank?
__________________
Tank is custom from Oceanic. Dimensions are 60" L x 36"D x 28"H. The house builder took special interest in the project for this was his first tank install. I had to work with the engineer to beef up the floor. The filter room is in the basement and worked out well. Thanks for the good words...it gives me some pull with my wife!!

Tom thanks for the information that is the size I wish I had. I have the the 120 which is 24 deep and as I was landscaping the tank I was sitting there thinking I wish it was 36 deep. I think my next tank will be 48x48x24. I have to wait for the kids to grow up and move out so I can customize the house more. :lol:

RevHtree...well the tank has been up for a little longer than 2 years. Alot of the corals came from my old 180. I stick with all softies now. Went the SPS route but they are too touchy for my taste...even though they really are colorful. I have gotten into anthias and have roughly 60 fish in the system. The filter room, as I mentioned, is in the basement. The main sump holds about 50 gallons of water and I run a Deltec AP 902 skimmer along with a phosphate reactor to control the phosphate levels from the fish and feeding. A Korallin 3002 calcium reactor tries to keep up with the demands of the tank but I often have to add Cal Chloride and Mag Chloride to keep levels close. A refugium was added a few months back and holds about 35-40 gallons of water. 2-400 watt halides plus 4-VHO's consist of tyhe lighting system. Overall I really have enjoyed this project although the tank could use even more circulation (closed loop would be nice) and of course it could be bigger. Happy none the less with the final outcome. A few more pics of the system.
