It has been a journey to get to this point but I'm almost there. I started working on my wife a couple years ago about getting a bigger tank, but since I'm away from home with work most of the time she didn't want more tank to watch. So I waited and bargained my way to it lol. We enclosed our garage for the room that our 75 gallon sits in now, and every time it rained I got an earful about building a carport. So this summer she got a carport and I got the OK to upgrade the tank. Fair is fair. In the construction we built a storage room that's part fish room and part storage. The room that the tank is in wasn't insulated on the outside walls so we went ahead and did that before upgrading the tank, and sheetrocked the room. It had exterior paneling so it just fits the rest of the house better now. The room we built has my rodi and barrels in there. It's nice to have the extra room for that stuff. I had the tank built recently and picked it up this week. It's 96X24X24 with dual external overflows. I have been building the lights when I get time away from work. I'll be taking the tank home from Pittsburgh to Mississippi on my next days off. (work in PA live in MS) I had a guy up here build it. So I'll have to build a stand and finish my lights yet. I'm just going with the open look. No canopy or bookshelf stand this time. I'm hoping to be home for the holidays but not overly optimistic. I'll post pics as I get to the next point in it. Can't wait to see it filled.
