The Bar is open!
This part of the plan started months ago when I purchased two old fir floor joists from a reclaimed lumber business. I had a local cabinet maker cut/joint them to wrap around the aquarium.
Many, many coats of urethane later...the bar finally got installed today. Once they were cleaned up, each piece is about 12" W x 2.5" thick. As you can see, I immediately served myself a drink! http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r...n/100_0483.jpg |
wow, fantastic progress. ive been fallowing this now since the beginning and am a little envious. maybe someday i will have a place to do something like what you are doing. what are you going to put in the corner to the left of the tank there. have you thought of what you may put in the tank once it is ready for livestalk (aqua scaping, corals, fish).
cant wait to see the final, but i guess it will be a little while yet. cheers |
A bar around the tank, brilliant (and so everything else).

Looks killer Brad. I love the bar. Have you figured out your Lighting yet?

I don't have a list of livestock yet, but it's coming. I'm certain that I will use Florida aquacultured live rock, and there will be some transfers from my existing tank. Quote:
I picked up an awesome overhead track system last week. Once I complete water testing, working on that is the next step. |

stealing ideas
Unfortunately I'm going to have to steal that bar idea ..... thanks :mrgreen:

The bar around the big tank is an awesome idea... I had hoped to incorporate it into my big tank plans here... unfortunately I hit a couple roadblocks on my tank and it never got finished. Now we have gone and sold this house and the new house has no room for a big tank. Oh well!
Cant wait to see what the bar looks like with the tank in operation, Im sure it will be killer :) |
Kinda hate to be the one to ask.....but........I know everyone else is wondering this as well... Any idea what kinda money will be spent in total? Or even NOT including livestock???
Don't hafta answer if ya don't want. Just curious for future interests. TIA |
