It sucks, but really there is nothing we can do about it. Kevin is going to try and repair some of the damage, as aside from the damage, this thing looks like lots of fun!

We did a bit more demo in the basement yesterday to prepare for the tank stand delivery.

Looking good.....man I miss having a tank.

Just a thought on the AC...if you are handy and it seems like you are I know my brother installed everything himself and just had the AC tech come and charge the system with the refrigerant and he saved a bundle.

Just something to look in to.

Hot damn that thang is red hot SEXY!

And you want to cover that with something like WOOD? How's about frosted glass so you see the red bits and then it's frosted enough that you don't really see the guts inside? Maybe a few dim lights inside for effect?

Dez will be along soon to suggest placing a few sprigs, twigs, and quailBalls...you've been warned!

Do you plan to have the floor under the stand finished with some paint or textured/speckled sealant or something?

Pheasantballs sound great!

We're going to finish ripping up the tile on the floor, and then we'll finish the entire floor all at once. We'll paint the floor in the fishroom, and we're on the fence about tile, or hardwood for the rest of the area. I loath carpet - immunology and infection courses ruined carpet for me.

We can't properly level the stand until a) we finish the floor, and b) we get some more weight on the stand.

Still though, isn't it pretty?!

I say you have little red LED moodlights behind the frosted glass to skirt the stand. This situation does not call for pheasant balls. The sump should be enclosed in red so that the mood lights highlight the colour and structure of the stand. You might have to check with Brett though cause he's the interior designer. I'm still trying to source out pheasant balls myself. ROFL
