Looks Good chad!... Keep me updated as well

Well, I figured I would add a little update. I have been busy as heck with finishing the basement and taking care of Sierra.
I have some quotes in for the new tank. If anyone has some recommendations besides Miraclesaquariums (Toronto) for a custom tank and quote, I'd appreciate it. The rock and sand is on its way.
Carpet is coming Monday, and furniture Tuesday. I finished up all the trim stuff and detail finish work this weekend. Today I am fishing the wires for the IR Repeater and HDMI switch so all the entertainment stuff will be underneath the stairs and wireless. So I can switch between cable, dvd, computer, ps3, ect with a remote and they will be out of sight.

I did a new rendering of the basement to see what 72x24x24 with 40" stand would look like. I just wanted to make sure it looked aestetically pleasing, or if adjustments to the size would be needed.
It looks good to me.
I made a few calls this weekend for quotes, so we'll see what happens.

(It is all to scale and what the basement looks like now, except for the stairs, they're close though

)

The wife picked up an Achilles Tang on Friday for us. So I re-setup my QT tank. I wasn't planning on getting anything soon, but it was a great looking specimen that was local and ready to go.

For those inquiring about the zoa/paly deal I put up for a minute - the guys backed out, so I'll have some packs up for sale here whenever I get time to take pictures and all that stuff. It'll be of whatever is on the plugs/discs now and have been growing for 2+ months. No time to do anything else.

Yeah, the stairs aren't to scale, so it just looks tight. There is 18" just in tile there.

More pics!!!

Soon.

Well I haven't been on in the last couple weeks. Things have been keeping my busy around here.
Lots of updates and pictures though
I'm just waiting on quotes for the new tank now.

I also got the shipping info from Marco Rocks, so that is on the way too.

Well the carpet is in and looks/feels awesome.

Here are some quick pictures.

Thanks Bro! You know you have a standing invite

Considering it came from this (no framing or lights and all that stuff though - just bare walls and floor), to where it is now, I am pretty proud of all the hard work I put into it.
Also thanks to Brian (Corsi on here), who helped me with being the GC, framing, finishing, ect.

Rock and sand came yesterday

The basement looks fantastic Chad! Can't wait to see the tank portion come together for you as well.

looks awesome man... ahhhhh! carpeted basements... they just feel more homey for me for some reason... ours is finished as well but has a bar and slate tiles... me and the wifey don't drink liquor so the bar is kinda stinky to have... taking up room... anyway, great job again with the basement and I'm looking forward to seeing the tank progress...

That Chevron tang is insane. Great job with the intire project thus far. Good luck with the rest.

Ricky,
