Sorry Robb, kind of a disappointing update. I still have to stop by some time a check out your tank, might have to drag my kids along though.

Sorry to hear about your bad luck, it looks like you're well on the way to recovery though..

Feel free to stop in anytime and kids are always welcome!

Well managed to get some what back on track, progress has been slow. The nice thing is the basement is near complete, the rug goes in next Tuesday. Everything else is small odds and ends, so maybe I can get back on track and get some water and at least the rock work done in the next couple months. Here's a couple of pics.
Started to do the wood work around the tank and the access panels.

And what it looks like now.

A lot done but still a pile to go.

Stand looks really good Bob, blends right in with the walls. I guess you can look on the bright side of the flood, new tank & part basement.

Thanks, Im no carpenter, but it has worked out quite well.
Just don't look too closely, you'll see where I screwed up.

Ya, it's been a pain in the butt, but the basement sure is opened up and looking good. Can't wait to get some water in and get started again.

By "in there" you mean the tank this time right?

Things are progressing nicely. Keep those pics rollin!

Is that a bathroom fan in the wall there? Will it's location allow you to effectively pull enough moisture out of the room? Maybe some stylish fans on the eurobrace aimed across the top towards the fan will help some?

HAHA, your a funny guy! Im hoping this is my last incident with water.

I don't know quite yet how Im going to finish this off, I had planned on a canopy over the tank. So the fan would quite easily remove enough moisture out(it is wired to a dehumidistat above the tank). This would also cut any of the glare off the lighting over the tank as well. Haven't quite figured this out.

If anybody has some ideas on how to finish this off, Im all ears.
