I did think about that but I game pretty heavily and having the bright lights behind the computer will be a bit of a detriment to playing haha I currently have the tank behind me in our study and it works out quite nicely
I can easily spin round and just stare!

I put as much time, effort and money into my gaming as I do into the tank haha major de-stress mechanism for me so if I'm gaming it's no distractions
What about putting the sump/equipment in the laundry room or garage and through the wall!

I'm currently working on/warming Georgia up to that idea
but the sump won't be under the tank regardless, maybe to the left of it if I can't work it into the laundry!
I'm currently working on/warming Georgia up to that idea
oooooooooooh boy! This is my favorite part of tank builds! Hope you can convince!

Nice looking plan so far. Just put a tent around the PC with a viewing hole.

haha the bonus about having the room below is I've been allowed to do pretty much whatever I want with it and the laundry will definitely be heavily tank related too haha I'll finally get an RO machine and setup a mixing station too!
haha that would get uncomfortably warm
See gaming and a distraction like that would simply not work! hahahaThe end of the tank is level with the end of my desk, it is quite distracting!
Howdy mate! haha yep, you've found another one of us lol and thanks man

Do you think we should make a Australia reef club since so many of the USA states have one?haha the bonus about having the room below is I've been allowed to do pretty much whatever I want with it and the laundry will definitely be heavily tank related too haha I'll finally get an RO machine and setup a mixing station too!

There is one of sorts but it doesn't see much love haha

The problem for the Australian scene is, a particular forum was so badly managed and regulated that it pretty much ensured that forums don't work here. It became so negative and filled with cliques and "boys clubs" that it was just unfriendly and inherently unapproachable. A lot of holier than thou reefers here which adds to the toxicity. That being said a lot of that "old guard" has moved on or mellowed out which is nice, I still have a lot of grief with the Australian scene but that's a rant for another day haha
Hence why the Facebook pages are such a big deal and that there are really only two main ones currently. If you want to be part of the community of regular activity Marine Aquarium Fanatics Australia and League of Extraordinary Australian Reefers are really the two options currently. There's a few other coral specific groups as well.

@NY_Caveman will do depending on what @Wrangy says

Staghorns will prevail
WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!!! 
It's all confirmed and we start the move in a month!! It's totally unbelievable at this stage but Georgia and I are so unbelievably excited!!
Please ignore the terrible terrible quality of the picture (I think they got super compressed when they got sent to me haha) but it's extra super official!!
Congratulations, Wrangy.Thanks man!
Here's my sneaky plan for the downstairs room!
Best news on this thread, besides the growing peppers, engagement, fish, corals, cats,...
I am glad this sneaky planned study is a priority overall all other rooms.
I am pretty sure Georgia has the same priorities LOL

She's been pretty good so far! We've definitely had a lot of fun and it's I certainly can't wait to get some new goodies like a fridge, couch, and other white goods!
