FishyFishy!'s 155 bowfront fishroom/closet build

Yeah the 187 was sold, so the tank will be going in the kitchen, and the sumps and everything else will be going in the closets behind that wall in the other room. This way there is no equipment noises in the kitchen.

I sooo wish I had the air sander option earlier!! haha. My arms are sore from stripping that thing by hand.

Hahah yeah I bet they are! If can reef wasn't down for so long I could have offered it sooner

I can't wait to see the new tank getting set up! what are you thinking for it....LPS, SPS...Nems waving around while your cooking up a storm?

Its definately going to be an SPS tank. Going for some nice colonies that can grow into some open space. I'll be doing a minimalist type aqua scape, as i'm filling a 90 gallon with pure live rock in the filtration section.

Here is the stand on its third coat.

Still have to do one door and start the canopy.

Wow, that stand looks 100 times better. Very nice. You definitely did well on the prep, paint looks smooth.

Straight up sanding. I used 3 grits. I also use a fan in my garage when I'm painting, so that dust dosn't stick to the wet paint.
