Nice! I've always wanted to do something like this. And an aquarium in the bedroom, without any noise! What are your plans for stocking it? Something peaceful, I hope. :)

I have the official kitchen pass permit to demo the shower in the wet room. I have also been told not to drag my feet getting it done either.

1. The stand. 2x6x10ft pressure treated from the 70% discount pile made the $4. I should have bought all in the pile. I did get six so if I do a cinder block stand for the 220 I’m set.

2. Got the 90g moved. The Silver Dollars really flipped out. Hopefully, the health issues. Did you know that BNP have spines in their whiskers on their gill plates? Got pocked but not stabbed.

3. Near disaster. I almost spilled water on the floor.

Aha! So you are moving your fish room into that room with all the windows! That will be awesome! First thing I thought when I saw that room was 'This would make a great fish room!'

I lightened up your first pic so we can see it better; here it is-

I just love all the windows in this room, as fishes look so pretty under natural light. The silver dollars and angels especially will show to best advantage. Have fun!

Moved the planted 55g today. Now running 2 Aquaclear 50s instead of sponge filters.
The rack was to close to the wall so I had to drain the lower 55 and add some distance.
