Ok well in August I am moving into my new house. I am gonna stick with a 180g tank like I have now but do not wanna transfer the tank and everything in it so I wanna get a new tank and when its ready I will transfr verything into it. So heres what I wanna do :
Equiptment
BK 250 Internal
RD 10 return pump
2 Tunze 6100's on controller
Zeo
mainly just reef ceramic rock and a few pieces ofLR
2 3/4 seaswirls on return
moonlights on lunar system
400w MH's on Lumernarc's III
VHO's on dimmer
1/2 HP Chiller
Ok now for the set up where I need help is I wanna build it as a room divider veiwable on 3 sides. The house is set up where when you walk in the living room is open right into the kitchen. So i was thinking build it between both rooms. The house is 14 feet wide I was thinking of a metal stand w/ removable sides and the top has to open to get inside the tank. I was thinking of making it so that there is a one foot wider all the way around the tank so that there would be more space beow it for the equiptment. I do not have a basement so I cant plumb it to there. the tank is 6'x2'x2' so the stand would be 7'x4'x3.5 or 4'. I wanna have the tank so that the bottom of the tank is belly level for better veiwing instead of having to bend down to look at it. I want hte outside of the tank to have a distinct look. not just sheetrock and paint or wood you know what I mean. Please let me know if you have any ideas for the outside and also to build the stand. Thanx
 
Sounds like a cool setup! Here are a few pictures of some tanks that divide rooms which I got from a friend which he got from RC of some of there members tanks. Hopefully they may give you some ideas. Best of luck!
