Yes! Got to talking to my wife last night and she has agreed to let me play with the big boys. (Pause a moment while I dance a jig… O.K.) If you have been following my other thread with my 55 gallon tank, you’ll notice that in July I bought a house. The downstairs has been designated the Home Theater/Office Space/Fish Room. The room is roughly rectangular measuring 23’x 10’. Where I plan on placing my tank is a slight alcove giving me another 18†of depth to play with.
The first picture is looking east. The window will be removed, the wall painted flat black and the 50†DLP TV will be in a floor-to-ceiling, left-to-right wall unit housing all the A.V. equipment, DVDs, books, ETC. The side walls will also be painted a flat black and covered with red velvet fabric just like at the theaters!
The second picture was taken from the east side of the room looking west. The work station on the left side of the picture will remain, and on the right is where the new tank will go. The windows look out on to the front yard. And yes, I’ve seen the neighbors walking by stopping to take a closer look when the windows are open.
The next three pictures are of the space that the tank is going to occupy. The left half of the wall opens up into dead space under the stairs. Keep going through the wall and you end up in the garage. There are some interesting possibilities there for plumbing, sump space, ETC when the time comes. The right side wall goes into a closet that will house the computer/router.
The floor will be some sort of laminate, but I was thinking that I would build the stand right onto the sub-floor.
The Dream is a 96â€Lx30â€Dx24â€H tank, by which if I did my math right will be about 300 gallons.
