Haha, I'd like to call it patience but "forced patience" may be a better term. Having a young family and a very busy work life means that although I've had the time...I just don't know if I've covered every base. But this is getting much much closer.
I just can't wait to see my tank again. It's been crated for the entire time so I barely remember what it looks like. Though I remember how heavy this SOB is.

Pics of the fishroom:

Here you can see the 60amp subpanel:

And here is the plumbing and electrical behind the wall.

Hi Mark, thanks for the tour. The house is going to be fantastic. When I got home my wife wanted to know about the house. The patios, views, breakfast bar, amazing ensuite, theater room etc... and all I could talk about was the huge fish room lined with plywood, the natural gas generator that will run the tank durning a power failure and how you will even have a sink hidden in a cabinet next to the display tank. All she could do was shake her head.

Very impressive and well thought out!

Please keep including the "stuff for guys". Many of us have dreamed about building a house for their fish tanks. The pretty corals will grow for years and years but you will only build once. So please keep the updates coming!

I wonder what the record is for number of pages in a thread before there is actually a tank in the house???....

I thought Brett might have the record for slowest build but I'm coming on strong! (not the current 404 of course but his last tank.)

Don't worry Kevin, I will keep posting the build...its the only way I can cope with the anticipation of actually getting things going for real.
