Oh wow!
I wish I had a wall I could do this in my house!
How do you get any work done with that right in front of you!? Lol

 

[iadubber]

I almost did this to my shower years ago but never did.

Oh man, I guess I need to apply for another credit card and do my tank right! Haha

Very nice. I love that it is an office tank but doesn't take up any desk space. Very nice close up pictures too.

Yeah that's the great part. I vowed when I had my last three tanks (72 bow, 40b, and fluval 2 gallon) that I would make it so I had a fish room and this just made sense. Two pet peeves of my last tanks were light spill and pump/water noise. This almost eliminates that. I also wanted to minimize carrying 5 gallon buckets so I have my RODI and Salt Mixing above the tank in the fish room. It works out quite well and makes water changes a breeze! I still need to install a slop sink in my fish room which will complete my easy water change system.

Thanks, I need to update on GIRS a little more. It's hard to keep up four threads . Especially when they all have different forum software so I can't just make one update and copy and paste the code.

Thanks, they could be better. I've just been hand holding my 6D for these so the ISO is crazy high on most of them. I need to get my tripod setup and do some longer exposure lower ISO shots. But the desk does get in the way to use the tripod on the left side of the tank. I'll have to make a pile of books or something instead of a tripod over there.
