Might have to re think my plan? Kinda weird to have the tank behind you 90% of the time and I did kinda like it in the hallway so future kids / nieces and nephews won't break it if playing mini stick hockey or something?

Well at least it would be in the room and it would depend on how the rest of the room is laid out. So are you going to have TV down there? I would think that would be just as likely to get broken. If you were that concerned though you could always use plastic or even tempered glass for additional impact strength. But you may be surprised how strong tanks can be, I remember some careless douche smashed a wii remote pretty darn hard against my old tank and it didn't break

Yeah I'd like to put a huge projector screen down there that rolls up behind the engineered beam that's down there. Another effective use of otherwise useless space

oh yeah ahah. I totally forgot about that. Man I hit that thing so hard I thought I broke my hand... but only broke the remote. Cost me $50 ahaha

So now that I've got my tank over to my new place it's time to get it back in shape. So to start with I redid the rock work:



Oh and I also installed my r/o unit today
