So you had a budget? I had to cook my books when I showed the wife to keep mine within my budget.

Eh, my partner is actually pretty good about these kinds of things. But we have my money, your money, and our money, so that helps. He might roll his eyes at how I spend my money from time to time, but I do same to him.

Your wood makes me randy! Love it.

There's a joke in there, but I'll leave that alone.
Thanks Dennis!

My wife and I have the same "arrangement". She rolls her eyes a lot.

Mine too, just moments ago.

How exciting about the new build, I'm looking forward to following along.

Pretty much, but I did overshoot those costs just a bit.
Out the door, the 80/20 supplies total out at $1785. $140 of that is shipping.
For the reclaimed barn wood, there's just a tick over $300 there. And then in birch ply, there's almost $200.

I didn't go down this path with much regard to cost; simply the end product in mind.

Thanks. I can't wait to see this tank up and running.

Thank you! I'm glad my wood seems to excite people.

Took this shot yesterday at the new house. Just imagine it there...
Getting closer, day by day.

Nice flooring! Tile?

Yes, tile. "Wood look" tile; the "in" thing right now around these parts.

 

[kschweer]

Was going to ask the same about the flooring. It looks great hunter! Probably less worry with the tank on that than "real" wood incase of any spills. Also I really like those big windows!!

 

[redsea01]

Wow! Your flooring looks so great and modern, I love it. Can't wait to see your tank in place, how exciting!

 

[Tanked_Life]

OK GET ON WITH WHAT EPIC WRASSES YOU ARE PUTTING IN! I'm dying to hear!

 

[revhtree]

I really like the wood look tile! The look is nice as well as the functionality. Not to mention the TRUE functionality when dealing with a reef tank and water! Good choice!

See post #19; totally TBD.

Thanks Rev. Tanks only belong on tile, as far as I'm concerned. Plus post-tension slabs are a thing here, so there's nearly zero chance of anything "interesting" ever happening to the floor.

Oh look, a pile of new stuff!

 

[urbaneks]

Is that one of Jason's reactors that I see on the desk? Have you tested it?

What's the big reactor in the corner?

Also, what lights do you plan to run?

Oh look, a pile of new stuff!

How I feel every time I get a new shipment of stuff for my aquarium. "Oh look, more stuff."

There are so many things I like about your project!! I love the way your stand looks. The wood is really awesome, and I bet it's going to look amazing on those new floors in the new house!! Can't wait to watch this progress! Following along!!

P.S. Congrats on the new house!
