It is about time that I start this about my current build, because if I do not do this as I go it will not happen as this will be my third tank without a build thread. The posts will be coming as I get things done. The kicker is that not only will it be a new tank but it will also be a fish room added to this mix. The first pictures will be all about the fish room first and the tank as things progress. The current tank is a 70G with a sump.

The specs of the tank.
72" x 30" x 30" Peninsula
PPG Starphire on 2 long and 1 short side
Builder - Still obtaining quotes. (have about 8 so far)
Leaning toward adding a closed loop also.

Fish Room 10' x 18' which was previously the workout room.

Starting the Demo and removed the flooring.

Had to fix a few places that were leaking on the walls.

Installed the insulation and started cleaning up the incorrect wiring.
