I finished the hallway side of the built in today.

 

[justDIY]

that's awesome ... you'll have living framed art on the wall!

How do you access it to feed the fishes or to add more?

 

[GrndHog]

The other side is in my office, I have total access from there

 

[fishfreek]

I would enjoy verymuch seeing the office side of your setup.

 

[BillyZ]

absolutely beautiful grndHog!

Quality work!

 

[Guest]

Looks great!

Question though,

Why the hallway?

 

[GrndHog]

Because I could'nt move move my office without reframing the whole house. I have a few carpentry skills but not that much. Beleive me, I wish I had a spot to put in the living room.

fishfreek,

Heres a shot of the office side. As you see I still have a lot of work to do

 

[newcomer]

GrndHog... that is a very cool set-up...how much did it cost you to build...do you have any before pictures?

 

[GrndHog]

As of right now I have about $750 into it and that includes the construction, tank and sump. By the time I'm up and running I figure I will have about $1200-$1500 into it.

I had a link on here, somewhere of my progession but I cant seem to find it, sry

[GrndHog]

Thank you, vega and ghoast

I'm in the process now of making my canopy and ordering pumps, lights, etc.

 

[GrndHog]

These are about a month old, since then I've setup w/ 200lbs of aragonite and 145lbs of LR

fishfreek,

Hey are you gonna put little slide door or some sort in your office side to cover the ugliness of the back and the sump, and everything under the cabinet? OR may be some sort of half size door to at least cover the bottom part, the stand and everything else!! Man that was a VERY nice work, I wish I can find a little closet in my house and tear it down for a setup like that

 

[GrndHog]

Yeah, the doors are on now, they are trimmed out like the canopy. I'll have updated pics this next weekend

 

[GrndHog]

Well I finally got around to get a new camera. Here is the final product, it took me way to long to finish (6 months), but I told myself before I started that I was going to take my time and do it right. I put my first two fish in two days ago and the 140lbs of LR has been in there for about 8 weeks.

Everything that went into this project was DIY except the tank and the skimmer
