UPDATE!! Well this aint much about the construction but I am gonna try and get the LR racks built today. I need to do this soon since they take 5 days to cure. This is a project that I am very very excited about. I have been researching this for the past week and have found some very very neat ideas and have incorporated a few of them into this design. These will both work as racks for the rocks and also a home for cryptic sponges and pods!!!! I will photo the whole process.

Graphixx...it's that way in my house too. I am the one asking my hubby to knock out walls and reinforce floors for my tanks. I can't remember the last time he got to build anything that wasn't fish related. He's a good guy about it though.

The lights on my 125 were on rollers and tracks. I could raise and lower them for cleaning or maint. It was NICE. I will have to look for the old post I had of the 125g in wall tank. It was great fun.

Allright, today was a pretty good day. I pretty much got everything done except setting the tank. I got the stand 99% finished, just molding around the doors. Lyndee is painting it. Got the molding done around the den side and mudded and almost all sanded. SSOOOOOO, tomorrow the stand will be finished along with the molding on the den side and the stand will be set tomorrow. And then thursday the tank will be in the house and set!!!!! I would of like to have gotten it done today but it didnt so OH WELL. No hurries just taking my time and having fun. Here are some pics of the den side of the room. And me and my little neice, she was my helper today!!!

Greg? Child labor? What WERE you thinking? I should report you to ... umm, somebody! Unless, of course you paid her well... what are the going rates for adorable little girls these days?

Seriously, I really do love how kids are so eager to help out with atypical stuff. My kids are near impossible to get to do their chores, yet they will be their great-grandmother's gopher (you know- go for this, go for that!) for next to nothing. My son struck up a deal with my grandmother for - get this - a dollar a WEEK! LOL!
