Let's Build a store....

[Amphitrite]

Looks great indeed! Is that crown molding? In a fish store?

-d

Yes it is....this is going to be unlike any "fish store" in the Pacific Northwest.

Have you been studying the cable programs "Tank Kings" or "Tanked" series...lol. But, your goals will beat their live set-ups.

Well I along with alot of fellow reefers are guilty of watching those shows. They are great entertainment. I personally like Tanked better than Tank Kings. I can say that none of our ideas for the store came from those shows. However we could model our own show after those shows, we already have the cast of characters. We would only need to get Mojo to agree to be on tv.....and I think WE ALL know the answer to that one.

Nice progress so far! Also good seeing other reefers pitching in to help. Love to see stuff like that!

How many gallons per coral tank?

Looks good!!!

 

[mercenary-grunt]

i believe they are ~240g 72"x48"x16"

 

[eww]

That is correct Ben. There are two of them. One will be LPS/Softies and the other will be all SPS. There will also be 3 65 gallon tanks with nothing but zoos.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting a paint party......OF ONE!!!!! THANK YOU MATT(crazyfish253) for showing up with spray gun in one hand and sandpaper in the other(how does that go?...."I love the smell of sandpaper in the morning")

And now for your viewing pleasure.....

The masked gunslinger hard at work

everything is looking so awesome all primed out

two coral display stands

yes Devin(oneguydude) Crown Molding in a fish store.

The whole enchilada

The future "lounge" we will switch out the water cooler for something more "loungie". The couch is looking a little small compared to the display stand, and in the background the glass for the aquarium that will sit on top of the stand

 

[Recalibrate]

Wow, it is looking awesome...can't wait until the grand opening!!

 

[eddiecorrea]

OMG 3 tanks full of zoas?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Can I just come clean the glass all day to stare at them? lol

 

[TJL]

WOW! Lookin' amazing in there, definitely will be worth the drive from the Northend just to hang out with all you 'Cool People' may eventually need a bouncer in there :fish:

Cheers, Todd

 

[Scooterman]

I really like the lounge idea.... wish you are not joking.... damn...

wife:... honey, I want to buy something at southcenter....
me: sssuuurrreeeee, just drop me off at OBD and take your time honey....

Thanks scooter! Hopefully they will post up some finish coated ART work. Mike with 20 years of experience in the painting industry has expectations on finished millwork. Im happy to say, i think we exceeded his expectations. Looks much bigger and better in person.

Matt,
I couldnt agree with you more, the expectations of OBD owners are quite high across the board. That is what will put this store in a league of its own.

BTW nice work Matt. It is comforting to know you wount be able to see my mistakes!!!! LOL

 

[Skimmy]

absolutely epic looking.
cant wait to see the rimless tanks and
filtration all set up...

saving my duckets for a new anemone reef system.
im betting its going to be gorgeous and less expensive
than i had imagined with those awesome OBD leds and sump system.
i might have to cough up for a metal stand and full starfire tank for penninsula viewing...
