Ok so i am in my house and can do as i please so that means big tank and in the wall!

Here is the tank. 6' long. I think its a 120 or 125 gallon. picked it up for $40 just need to reseal it and put new bracing on it.

I'll be using a 75g for the sump and also will have my extra tanks in the room for maybe a frag tank and whatever other ideas might come up.

So here is the wall that the tank will be going on. This is looking from the kitchen area. After doing some measuring I think I will have about 9" on each side of the tank. (notice the Amarillo Reef Club webpage)

Here is another view from the living room.

This is the view from the garage side. I'll eventually plan to close off the room and do some kind of venting so i can keep it cool enough without a chiller, and warm in the winter. Plus it will be nice to have a small room dedicated to just my stuff. better organization.

alright so i've been doing some of the demo work. I'll get some pics up once i find a stopping point. I'm hoping to get at least the tank in the wall and cycling this week but I guess we will see.

I'm planning on doing a rock wall for the display so it might actually delay it a little. idk.
