No more conflicts of interest!

Here it is...... I learned a valuable lesson having the tank in the garage, you don't get to look at it. Unless you enjoy standing out in the cold.

When I decided to set up another reef, I flirted with the thought of putting it downstairs in the living room.

I recently bought a new TV and decided I'd better put the tank in the same room as thats where I spend most of my time. I was lucky enough to convince the wife that one of the empty spare bedrooms would make an excellent fish and filtration room.

So it begins. This is the start of a 210 primarly SPS reef. Here's some pics:

Sweet layout Brett! I have mine by the TV also. Now I can enjoy watching the office and my tank at the same time!:lol:

WooHoo!!! 'Bout time Brett!! Your tank occupants will even be able to watch TV. Gonna play "Finding Nemo" for them? Looking like it's going to be a very nice set up!!

Admit it, you took a pic of the dogs fighting because they're both too big for you to have stepped in and broke it up anyway!!!

The only problem is I have set this room up for movies. Painted the walls dark, black out curtain pannels, and have the canister lights on a remote that automatically dim when a movie starts. Three 400w halides is going to change all that.

They are pretty funny. Dukes 3 and frankenstein is only 5 months old. He's not nearly as big but there paws are the same size. The ruff house so much its like having two teenagers wrestling.

None of the picecs are that big, so I was going to do some drilling and ziptie-ing to make some structures

I know the feeling, I have two danes and a mastiff puppy that are constantly knocking furniture around.
