Quoted from Spyderturbo007:The plan is for an 8' reef tank to be built in the fish room wall. The fish room will allow me to house the life support system for the tank, as opposed to having to lug 5g buckets up and down the steps all the time. It's going to be awhile before I can get to that, so I'm just going to drywall the wall for now and then rip it out in a year or two when I'm ready for the tank.
That sounds amazing - make sure to keep us updated on that.
I have a 65g freshwater right now, and had plans to do a 90g peninsula tank (I'm in love with the idea of a peninsula tank..) in the basement. I wanted to make that double as a sort of bar, with a ledge protruding from under the tank to rest drinks. I was really excited about it, but the reality of building a custom stand, trying to figure out how best to do maintenance (I don't have a sink in my basement at the moment), etc quickly set in. I'm still hoping to do that at some point, but it's further down my priority list these days.
