Aquarium Advice Regular
well since redoing the whole house, the tank that was in the wall in living room is being relocated. it was too hard to maintain equipment in the tight space and one flooded living room and then leak in plumbing, decided enough was enough. after much running around with tape measure, we decided, bedroom it was.
it is going to cut the corner between bedroom and dressing room. tank is ideal since it has angled corners, not square. all plumbing and filtration is to be in the basement, hopefully only thing in the tank will be 2 pipes, one for out and one for in, rest be downstairs, with easy access, eliminate most noise in bedroom and clean up tank.
i finally made the plunge and cut the stud to make way for it.. being a load bearing wall, this took some nerves and plenty of coffee before ifinally cut (dont worry all those structural engineers reading, i have added a new stud to replace one i cut, just moved it over a bit.)
pics so far.... now plumbing into basement, will post more as progress is made. fish like new place, dont have a cat in their face every morning now (she hasnt found them yet, sure she will) not sure if to use 10 gallon baffle filter or turn the spare 55gal into a filter/refugium. undecided as of yet
