Had the new floors installed Saturday. Went from ugly carpet to nice wood. Not sure why when we built the house we had carpet and not the wood to match the rest of the house.

Tank will go on the wall once held by Mr. Rooney he has since been relocated to the other wall lol.

The wall where the tv is will have custom cabinets installed Wednesday. Then I’ll order granite countertops for it. Total of 5 cabinets. (Helps when your brother owns a cabinet company the markup is incredible) thanks brother!

Water station

ScottW · Jan 21, 2020

Here is the 96x30x11 when I set it up.

ScottW · Jan 22, 2020

Custom cabinets going in now.

Going to swap out the sumps this weekend. I don't want to have to rush when the other tank is here.

VERY WORRIED about the floor and how I can secure it to ensure it doesn't fall into my fish room below lol.

Unfortunately my joist run parallel in this room and only this room with the way I want to setup the tank. SoI will have the back side against the wall (outside wall of my home) and that joist and then the other side will be only on 1 joist.

I am trying to minimize the poles in the room below b/c I don't want to give up real-estate but I know this is going to be the only option I fear. Anyone on here have any suggestions?

WOW, you are going First-Class! Very nice; following...

Skynyrd Fish · Jan 22, 2020

This is going to be sweet!

ScottW · Jan 22, 2020

Of course 1 handle was the wrong size lol.

I wish I could take credit. You would have to hire my American Express haha. I know where my strengths and weaknesses are, and wood working for sure is 1 of them lol. I know how to plumb and wire things up, but I hire the pros for these types of things. Lucky enough my brother owns a cabinet company, so I made him give me the family discount of "YOU BETTER NOT MAKE A DIME OFF ME" for these lol.
