Peachy - nice quiet day at the office - very much relaxed.

This tank is going to be awesome once all of this gets setup!

Yea I think so too, I'm pretty nervous though putting it all together, it's one thing adding a peice of equipment to your existing system but starting from scratch seems daunting,I'm also worried about heat and humitity in the fish room.

Aren't you putting in a vent system in the room?

I know it's pretty dry down where you live - never too hot never too cold.

Yea but this is new territory for me, I'm afraid of a 20K steam room.

Here are some photos of the equipment that will be under the new tank, I decided to get a jump on the placement of all this stuff before the big day comes, by the way things are going the tank will be running before you know it.

Thank's for the offer Gorm but it's a really small project, on another note I just pay pal'd a payment on a Deltec KM 500 Kalk stirrer, now I'm ready to construct the electrical panel for the tanks equipment.

Dude I'm all for the open to the outdoors look, but I would add some walls before I put a fish tank in there.............






J/K It's looking good.

The tank should be moved in now, and then you build the room around it! Then people will try to figure out how you got the tank in the room.

The big question is was this a tank for the remodel or a remodel for the tank?
