The post boss, the post!!!! I thought of hiring a team of graduate students to come up with a plausible reason to have that post where it is. Then I figured I'd save some money for fish food and just make something up. Well its been a year now and I don't have anything to offer except the darn thing just had to be there to keep the floor away from the ceiling, or at least that is what my architect told me. I will however eventually come up with some strategy to integrate it somehow into the context and environment. How about a periscope??? OK, OK an intentional web cam stand then......... When I'm ready for it I will pose the question to the general audience but in the interim lets just pretend it isn't there........just don't tell anybody eh? Peter |

You had that post put there so there was something to lean against when staring at your favorite coral didnt you?

Peter did you realize that you have best of both worlds. A reef Tank and a indoor saltwater pool. Everything is looking amazing with all that your doing.

Peter. This is the best thread I've ever read.
I love the way you tell the story, not to mention all nice pictures. Please keep up your excellent work. P.S. I try to figure out what is your occupation. Is it anything related to antique or maybe real estate?

It's not a post it's an astigmatism. "What post?" "You should really get your eyes checked man.."

Seeing this post near the tank made me think of his setup. Why not add a nicely finished 2"x12" rim around three sides of that post to act as a sort of bar table. A couple of tall stools and you have a nice place for a couple people to set drinks and enjoy the view. As an alternative with purpose in mind, you could build a nice shallow cabinet around it or around a few sides (floor to ceiling) to store dry goods such as food or supplies. I am really looking forward to this thread as it progresses. You are off to an incredible start on what promises to be a very spectacular system! Keep the pics coming! I am subscribed!

Peter, you have a beautiful home. I love the wood flooring and underlighting around the tankbase. Your landscaping is serious eyecandy and makes me pine for our home when we lived in MN. The tanks OK too...

The situation in Bangkok is quite normal. Reporters always make it look critical. We just hope the protestors will disappear in couple days. They kill the traffic!!!!

Thank you eric, its the same high intensity LED system used to light up the CN Tower in Toronto. My challenge is a little easier, I don't have to light up the city........just one house.
Peter Its actually one of three different systems.....more on that later. |

Peter, Your build is my wet dream( pun very much intended. I love the way the space is coming together. Especially the latest picture with the wood floor. It is hard to believe this is a basement space. I am awaiting more with baited breath.
Chris
