Are you getting some implants placed?

Yeah...got one done and another one in progress. Waiting for a bone graft to heal before planting the 2nd one. I didn’t realize implants are so damn expensive otherwise I wouldn’t have eaten so much sweets...lol

I really like the dimensions and height of this tank for viewing and that it’s viewable from both sides. I’m hoping that fireplace to the left is hiding the secret fish room entrance!

I don’t know if you can see the stairs leading downstairs in the picture but that’s where the fish room is located at. The “fish room” for this tank is actually right under the stairs!

Another one I am working on! This one is super cool! The tank is supported on a welded cantilevered design and all the plumbing are hidden inside the wall. Also laminated glass.

See -- this is why the midwest boy in me loves basements!

Yeah not cheap Robert. You will be much happier with an implant than a bridge though.

Robert these builds are all really nice. Makes my tank look like child's play.

When you’re ready Ian I would love to work with you on your dream tank!

I would have to get a bigger house first and convince my wife. Can't put my dream tank into a house that is the same size as the tank. Maybe instead of redoing my detached garage, my garage can be one big aquarium. I better tell my architect to change the plans before he submits them to the city. jk
