With the obvious history in Reefing that you have, this may be an unnecessary statement but don't forget to put some type of styro under the tank...saw a buddies new 180 FW tank a day after installation and 2 weeks later it was all on the floor due to not remembering to do this. Painful...

I'm really looking forward to some Full tank shots on it's in place.

Yeah we already have purchased the foam to go under the tank.

Hopefully we can have the tank up on the stand in the next couple of days here and then for sure I will put up some more pics.

Here are some shots of what the room and view look like right now.

This is again the front view with the drywall and paint now on there


This is the side view ( Fell in love with this different vantage point again when we saw SuperFudges tank)


This is just inside the fish room where on the wall ahead with the window there will be a counter top and also a big rubbermaid sink. The sump will sit directly under the tank and the mixing tank under the counter top in the corner of the room.

It looks great. I'm hoping you keep this thread up because we seem to think a lot alike. My current plans are very similar for a tank setup but with the fish room being about 130sq ft. Did you use special paint in the room? How do you plan to manage humidity?

We didn't use any special paint in the room but instead of regular drywall, we used aquaboard around the whole thing. Also for humidty, their will be two inline fans. One that will exhaust just strictly from the lighting canopy and then another that will regulate the humidity of the room as a whole.
