Indeed... I wish I had that kinda money to throw around. I mean, sounds like the $$$ worth of Alcohol is about what I paid for my system.

rockwork is very cool.
details? explanations? How the heck did you put that together and how the heck will you get it in the tank without a major crash and burn?

OK tank is on the stand, and undamaged.. believe it or not,
BONUS CHALLENGE: Name the day I first manage to put an annoying scratch on one of the 2 veiwable sides of this tank... winner gets a NO expense paid trip to the couch in my fish room (once it has a couch) and a cold can of cheap american beer to drink while sitting there...

Bet the part I know people are waiting for. How the heck did 2 people manage to unload a 1000 pound tank off a trailer, get it on to the stand, and in to the house without breaking it...
well... My girlfriend usually just hides when I get going on something.. but she popped out to see if everyone was still alive..

some of the aftermath...
Then I got destracted again.... I didn't want a garage door on my fish room anymore... so I ripped it out. new wall going in... don't laugh to hard. I've been called alot of things over the years. A carpenter is not one of them. and this is where I stopped for the night. There will be 2 41x45" windows in that wall, dark curtains, and a couch to sit and stare at my tank and drink beer (or other stuff) Tommorow I need to frame in the windows, insualte and screw in some drywall, and hopefully cut the wheels off the stand so I can get it leveled out, do a leak test, then put new filters on the RO/DI system and set it loose for a week to get the tank filling. Hopefully get the rockwork in there as well. I work 60 hours a week, so not much gets done during the week.

this is a very rough sketch of my fish room plans so far. If anyone is good with one of those 3d programs, I'd love a more veiwable workup...
Edit: oops. there should be an 8x2 stand on the left wall by the couch.... where I eventually plan on putting a frag tank on.
