Its a classic mid century modern design and actually quite common. The chair is designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and is known as the "Barcelona Chair" It was unveiled in 1929 at the Ibero-American Exposition, which was hosted by Barcelona, Spain. You can either find knock offs for around $600-800 per chair or originals (not made in 1929 but made by Knoll Studio these days) for $6000-$10,000 per chair. The difference is noticeable  I am a huge Mid Century Modern fan...so I could go on all day! I try to collect as many pieces as possible. Gets more expensive than aquariums if you can believe it! Not the best pic but my favorite piece is in the far right corner of the room in this picture...  Just realized...I have no idea where the Barcelona Ottomans are in any of these pics! LOL. The chairs look funny without them... Last edited by GreenSpottedPuffer; 12-04-2008 at 08:20 AM.

Cool, Is this a sunroom? Question how do you find all the extra sunlight on the tank?
In the summer I get this algae on one side of my tank, its not the side closest to the window but the opposite side. Winter it goes away! Hard as heck to get off then magically poof it's gone. Back to your kitty and lizard love is blind. Love your tank too!

I never get algae in my tanks...Its seems like I should for various reasons but just don't. I think it has a lot to do with all the Limewater I top off with.

As for the tank itself...WAY too loud. The overflow is nice and quiet but the water near the bottom of the drain is LOUD. I have no idea how to fix this though. I think its just going to either have to stay like that or I have to try to get someone over who can drill another hole with the tank half full. I don't like that second idea for obvious reasons.
Its hard without seeing the tank in person but if anyone has any ideasfrom the pics, let me know!

The overflow in my tank was also very quiet, with the noise of the water entering the sump way too loud. I had a 1" return line from the pump and a 1 1/2" drain, with a gate value to control the output. I was told by co-workers that I was probably creating a vortex at the gate valve because the drain was to big. I then reduced the drain size in the overflow to 1". There was a considerable reduction of noise at that point.
After that, just for fun and because I had it, I attached a Tee to the bottom of the drain, below the water level. I don't know why it worked but it made a considerable reduction in the noise. The Eheim pump is now the noisest part of the tank.

I think I am going to try to get another hole drilled in the tank. If your in Vancouver and have a diamond hole saw for a 1" bulkhead and are willing to drill my tank, let me know!

Actually the other option and I don't know if I like this is to take down the FOWLR and set it up as a reef instead. I was debating this originally but didn't want to see my Puffers go. Now I am debating it again just because having two tanks in here is really taking up a lot of space and the maintenance is too much for me I think. The FOWLR looks horrible now because I am spending all my time on the reef.
Hard decision.
