Here is where my journey begins. Actually...I've been down there cleaning a little already if you can believe that. I took out 14 bags full of recyclables! Pop cans are the wife's job lol.

Kids' TV and toy room:



Looking towards my office:



Tank and fishroom. You may need to really just have faith at this point?

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world with a basement dumping zone

Looks like an awsome build plan, I'll be following the progress

This is going to be awesome! So happy to see you doing another big build...if it's anything like the last one we're all in for a good ride.

Have you thought about a DIY LED fixture for a tank that size? I am only doing a 290g but the savings of going LED just on bulbs, etc really made a lot of sense.

Lol thanks but this won't be like the other build for a few reasons: No high end skimmer or light planned. The lighting I have (need to pickup more reflectors I guess) but the skimmer I have no idea about.

I'm trying to make this a larger version of my current tank. Modest in design and equipment but easy to care for and relatively successful.

I'm planning on going with the Octopus XP Cone 5000 internal skimmer. I think the External might be a good match for your tank...they have pretty good reviews...semi-reasonable pricing and a 3 year warranty on the pump.
