BC Ferries ruined my reef meeting today, but the day wasn't all lost. Got some more progress on the fishroom!

Ok so we got the teleposts up to support the ceiling while we ripped out the guts of the load bearing wall. (my husband loves making faces for the camera)



Backside of the wall (the actual fish room)



Matt had a good ole time with the sledgehammer




Open sesame!



Shoring up the studs (the 2x6 part )



Getting the header in (the 2x10 part )



Tada!!! And the ceiling didn't even fall in!

Good Start! I'm loving the size of your fish room (wish I had a fish room )
Regarding the removable back for the tank: Did you see Dave's black curtain set-up the last time you were over? It works slick as hell.

I'm so very jealous!!! Look at the size of that fishroom!!!! *sigh* NICELY done! Can't wait to see it.

And I gotta say I'm part of the Euro-reef loving club too. Christy picked me up a new RS250 also around when she got hers and it rocks. I love it and man does it stink!

There are very few instances in life when something stinking is a sign of quality and performance. Gotta love this hobby!
