Trigs' Man cave / Tank room
 
So after much debate and a lot of thinking i decided to make a big step and to re do my outside room and create something I can sit in enjoy my tank and of course have a pretty killer entertainment room.

I thought about getting something big for in here 150gal+ but then decided to set up my current 35gallon and see what I could do with it before upgrading(since we all know it will happen eventually).

The room was a absolute mess when I first decided to tackle this project, was used mainly as storage for the house and the ocasional beer pong room.... :twised:, but i put my mind to it and started the build.

The idea was to have a couch/tv area on one side and have the aquarium on the opposite side. well much has changed since that beginning idea and ill show you!

So first things first, get to cleaning! I got my hands dirty and started with the biggest and that was the beer pong table, that was gone. next i worked my way through the room organizing and cleaning, cleaning and organizing.

Slowly it started to look like something was getting done.

Fish tank.
 
Now Comes the tank, I am still working on it waiting for my lights and changing things from time to time. Here is a series of pictures documenting the tank and how it started to how it is now.
