Drive back 45 minutes. A little after 9am this morning:   Getting some work done:   Top of the stand done:     Did pretty well with the cut offs (not a whole lot of waste):   Decided I didn't want white walls, so hello Bermuda Bay (Glidden pre-mixed color):   And drove back to Menards because I decided to make a change in the base and needed one more 2x6.  Finished for the day:   Stand built, top painted.  Letting the room dry (and stand) for another coat tomorrow.  Not sure on sump yet, but I think the top will be a 75 and a 40Breeder, although that may change if I think about it tonight.    #5 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:v5.0 - The I now have a fishroom build Monday, July 27, 2015 2:10 PM (permalink) 0 Mixing up some salt and trying out the stand.  Moving the bulk of my stuff today, so no real fishroom time.     #6 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:v5.0 - The I now have a fishroom build Saturday, August 1, 2015 9:35 PM (permalink) 0 Added first pelagic system.  Plumbing next week when I have more time.  Cleaning out 30 Rimless and moving it to new place Sunday.   #7 slosht Total Posts : 178 Scores: 0 Reward points : 1162 Joined: 5/4/2009 Location: Clinton Twp, MI, US Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: MarineLife Aquarium Society of Michigan Re:v5.0 - The I now have a fishroom build Saturday, August 22, 2015 11:14 PM (permalink) 0 It's time for a progress update! like Jish said... deposit...

I've recently built tank systems where I thought I had enough, and it was not.  I need enough to get my head above the tank without my nose getting wet! check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #14 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:v5.0 - The I now have a fishroom build Sunday, September 13, 2015 10:28 AM (permalink) 0 Originally Posted by Fishtal Looking good!

I've recently built tank systems where I thought I had enough, and it was not.  I need enough to get my head above the tank without my nose getting wet!   I'm pretty lucky in that I've got more room than I'll use.  I've got a standard height basement room, but I've still got two walls (one 11' one 10') that there is nothing on yet.  I devote one wall to growout.  Larva are going into the live feeds room to make feeding easier.    #16 Arc Katana Total Posts : 929 Scores: 19 Reward points : 1293 Joined: 10/20/2009 Status: offline MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:v5.0 - The I now have a fishroom build Wednesday, October 14, 2015 11:01 AM (permalink) 0   #17 Online Bookmarks Sharing: Facebook Digg Google del.icio.us StumbleUpon
