I've made a little headway and may just make the end of Sep swap.
Got half the tanks cleaned, prepped and painted today. Here are a few pics of the work in progress.

installed the doors



Made a few thresholds (by the way... it's lots harder in real life!)




Painted tanks and particle board shelves


Got some racks built


but don't you know, there's an aw "sheep" for every attaboy somewhere.
Check out the terrible joint in this one. I'm going to try and finesse it with some wood putty. It's the only one that didn't come out nicely. There's always gotta be one!



best regards
mike

I think it looks great.

The older I get...I can't even see those little flaws anymore. Just take your glasses off, man!

Clunkster, I have to pay for Christmas before I can complete the room. I need to hire an electrician to put another couple of 20 amp circuits into the fish room. I only have 14 tanks up and running in the fishroom right now. One 55 remains in the snooker room and the 180 is up in the living room... I dread the thought of lifting that to the basement!
