Hello, Im a french canadian from near Montreal (so excuse my english if its not perfect). My career is in telecom/IT. Been in the marine aquarium for about 6 years, been on this forum for 2 year, mostly stalking, not talking a lot. Thought it was time to show my tank to people, since most of your posts helped me build my tank. So started with a 35gal , and soon got too small. So when I bought my house 4 years ago, it was a deal with my wife that I had to have space for a "real" tank. So bought a house with unfinished basement; that was perfect. Fitted the 180gal tank first on its stand, then built the basement around it. Everything is not perfect, but I did 99% of the work with my own hands, so its good enough for me.

Looks awesome! Hoping to do it like this one day as well!

Welcome to the R2R community and happy reefing!!

and that is because, even when in the bathroom, I cant live without my reef ! I ordered an auto tainting film to put on the glass on this side to have some intimacy when necessary.

Latest update from my tank. Had to break that huge red monty cap on the left, was blocking all sun on a 2 feet diameter all around. First idea was to break it in pieces, bleach and reuse as Carx media, but on second guess, decided to make it as a back wall. Not sure if I like it or not...I had ordered some smart film to test for bathroomwindow on the reef....looks like its a fail. The light make it almost opaque when it should be clear (its working perfectly when not on tank)....so, I am not sure what I should do about that bathroom window...shades or curtain? I find both option ugly...if someone has an idea, it would be appreciated.
