Building my Fish Room- (will need lots of help/advice)

[webdizzy]

I just found this thread (a year later) when searching for fish room builds and started reading it only to find it was never finished. Did you complete the room?

I have still been working on the room whenever I get a chance, however 2 kids (1yr and 3yrs) keep me busy, as does the rest of the house. I have, however been purchasing equipment here and there and doing a little work when I get time/money. My dad has taken some measurements and we're going to work on building a new hood that has a little more room. I have the bench for the sump and refugium built and the countertop on, just have to skin it to make it purdy then I can start plumbing. Won't be a ton of real progress until late spring though and by then it will be time to work outside again. My guess is that it will be about this time next year when I actually add water. I just want to make damn sure I'm doing it right. I'm spending the money that I need to when I can. I'm not taking short cuts (Other than buying a used tank). I will try and get some pics up though. I know it makes a big difference to you all. =)

I can certainly understand other responsibilities getting in the way! I also agree with taking your time and doing it right. I was just curious if you finished it and just stopped documenting it in this thread.

This was just after I put the flooring down. Wife was pregnant at the time so I did it by myself. Was almost a disaster. It was cut about 1" too long on 2 sides so I actually slid it under the drywall a little. Problem was getting it slid into the right spots when I had the glue down. I was really close to throwing in the towel and starting over but I pushed through. Other than a crack in the concrete floor that shows up through the linoleum a little it turned out pretty darn good.
