Damn didn't know you have that much height under there until you stand in there LOL ..

What kind of rocks are those? They look like reeferrocks but I thought they stop selling them.

Great looking set-up and nice toys. Can't wait. I think you mentioned that you are keeping this tank at low temp. Are you thinking of keeping deepwater fish?
Thinking about it. We will see.

Thanks Mark, corals actually faired pretty well. No casualties that I know of.

It was plenty of height for some people others of us just had to make sure to stand between the rafters if we were gonna be standing up straight. Think it is about 6' exactly high.

Really? Was it a little taller in the place Ian is standing in the picture, because I know he's shorter than I but not THAT much shorter.

I think the basement clearance was perfect for most of us. Not sure I could say same for Dudley and Bryan. I think Bryan was watching his surroundings as he moves around avoiding thing like the light. Lol

wish I had a basement too!

LOL. Yeah, he did. He only got shocked once replacing the socket. :P

There's quite a bit of headroom down there. If you're 6' or over, then you'll have to be slightly more careful. You'll be fine walking down there, Mike.

Nothing like doing electrical work in a damp room in flip flops.

Ian....that fixture lifting setup you have is awesome!!! I'm going to have to do that one of these days for my suspended canopy. How does the actuator work? Does it roll up the suspension wires like a winch?

We told Ian to recess the box into the ceiling, but nobody wanted to climb into the attic and cut big holes in Ian's new house :D

At least I didn't have to worry about my hair standing up.
