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...





My helper playing in the 'secret tunnel'...



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.

All I can say is seeing tank builds like yours, seeing Tony's in person on many occasions, and others makes me want to sell the house, buy another and build the Tank Room of my dreams.

Great Work Brett! You are going to love the overall look, cleanliness and functionality of everything.
