Fishroom got it's first coat tonight! I also now have some cool-looking white highlights in my hair that for now seem sorta permanent lol.

First a peek at my rad new mixing station. Wife can't wait to see this gone lemme tell ya.



This stuff is the bomb.



You can see where I applied silicone to all the cracks and knotholes in the plywood ceiling. Those are all the spots the paint doesn't really want to stick to.



To paint my water-change nook I removed the blue drum and tossed it temporarily on the laundry tub. Sorta forgot the tap works now and it started working all right! Too bad the drain is not connected. You can sorta tell the floor is wet. Officially my first mini flood!



Outside lookin' in...

I am jealous as well, I would love a fish room & so would my wife. At least I have her down for a small tank in the kitchen when we do the remodel.

Looks nice & WHITE but there's no room for a pool table......or even a couch for that matter.

I've already got a tank in the kitchen as you can see... fishroom was the next logical step i guess haha.

A couch is going where I took the last picture from. When that jackpost is out there's actually a decent amount of room out front for viewing but yeah no chance at a billiards table. I might move my other white leath 3-seater from the other basement room into that spot if it still fits through the doorways I put in

This basement is a shoebox but it's MY shoebox!

You can see where the other couch is in shoebox 2 on the right. It may be stuck in there now. Hopefully using all 32" doors will give me enough play if I decide I want it in front of the tank.
