I've already got a tank in the kitchen as you can see... fishroom was the next logical step i guess haha.

A couch is going where I took the last picture from. When that jackpost is out there's actually a decent amount of room out front for viewing but yeah no chance at a billiards table. I might move my other white leath 3-seater from the other basement room into that spot if it still fits through the doorways I put in

This basement is a shoebox but it's MY shoebox!

There's more then one room in your shoebox

You can see where the other couch is in shoebox 2 on the right. It may be stuck in there now. Hopefully using all 32" doors will give me enough play if I decide I want it in front of the tank.

Thanks to Brad (Abcha0s) for suggesting this 100% epoxy floor coating. It's called Enviropoxy (from IPP here in Calgary) and I have done the first coat. I'll be doing a second coat so all the higher spots in my floor become smooth as well. Hard as a rock and not slippery when wet either. Love this stuff but the prep-work for the floor was brutal.





The stand is done except for the doors now. The scribing process was pretty painstaking but I'm really happy with the end result. I have to go back and carefully touch up the paint in a few grooves still...

Not a very flattering shot as the harsh lights down here right now show a few seams. You can just make out something in the groove for the left vertical line. On this panel as luck would have it I hit ALL FOUR screws that were used to mount the panel originally. I didn't want to try and move them and screw things up but nobody but me will notice I think.
