Thanks for the kind words folks!

The stand took about a week to build and the wall about another week. It was waiting for the tank to be built that took the longest but it turned out beautifully I think. I'm waiting for the builder to return with the black plexi that will span the entire back of the tank.

Everything is being done as I can afford it and in the middle of doing renos all over my house so things are chaotic at home. I don't think I'll have it totally operational until next summer or later unfortunately.

In a couple of weeks I'll be able to fill it tho and I'm sure a pile of freshwater to stare at will keep me content whenever the wife isn't beating me up with breakneck renovations!

Speaking of wives tho...mine is truly amazing to be cool with this. She knew it would be big but until I helped haul in the glass I don't think she had a clear picture. Thankfully!

Cheers,

Brett

Are you modifying an existing basement or developing from scratch?

I have to do the "from scratch" and the big hurdle holding me up more than anything is I just haven't found the time to get some drawings made up and getting the necessary permitation (electrical, plumbing and development). Did you have to go through this, and how was it in the end for you?

We bought a new house and the basement was just cement and studs.

My wife's dad is an electrician so I had help there. The rest I'm just learning as I go.
