Definitely been a while!

Stopped by Concept on my way home, were closed even tho website said they were open. We really can’t plan out a tank until we can get into the basement and plan it out. We had originally talked about a fireplace on the mechanical room wall, but now thinking it would be the best spot for the tank, run plumbing through the wall and have sump behind the wall. Hubby seems to have different ideas. We may end up with too much time to think about this ugh.

Popping in again, we are still at least a month away before we can get into the house. Foundation is poured, but waiting on backfill and framing, then wait for basement pour. Then we can start thinking about the tank set up. I have purposely stayed away from fish stores for now, ideally would like to start a build over the winter months.

Well, we have finally moved into our new home and slowly getting settled in. I'm still tossing around the idea of a small tank, I stopped by Concepts some time ago, but they were closed, not sure what their hours are as they were posted as open when I did head over. I had thought a tank in the basement would be a great idea, but it is smaller than what our last basement was and hubs wants to set up a bar/gaming area. Main floor is not really an option - I know me and water lol. Are there any other tank builders in Calgary or Edmonton you all would recommend? Anyone here got anything under 100 gl looking to sell? My 180 build had pretty much all brand new equipment on it and boy did I take a hit when I sold, so not sure that's the route I want to go. I have a fish fund but definitely want to be a bit smarter this time round if I do start back up. I do still have some equipment we found when moving, but I got rid of all the good stuff lol.
