Can't wait to see what you put together!

Give me a shout and I can give you a hand.

I finally moved the new IM-38 into the family room. I've got an Alternative Reef structure I traded with @larryandlaura. I will be moving most of my other Alternative Reef shelves and pillars over from the biocube once I get the tank wet.

On a down note, I am still considering replacing the flooring in the family room and will likely wait to fill the tank until that project is done. I'm trying to decide whether to re-carpet or go with vinyl plank flooring.

Here's a peak at how it looks now:

Our family room is mostly dark grey and I think the tank will look pretty striking in the room. I will be sort of nice to see it while sitting on the sofa...something I've never done with any of my reefs. Its uncharted territory...

Throw some tile under the tank, and do the rest of the floor later. :p Get that thing wet!

Looks good. The rock structure still leaves plenty of room for your other rocks, and there should still be plenty of swim space for your fishes to swim.

Your going to love having your tank where you can comfortably view it. Especially in a seated position. Definitely my #1 consideration when setting up my tank.

Looks great there Jim. You will love that tank.

I agree!! Your tank should be the focal point of your room. You spend a great deal of time careing for it. Show it off! We have a big flat screen in the same room as the tank. What do visitors look at?? The tank of course. My Dad lived in Hawaii and when he stayed with us he would always say " move the tank or the TV ! I can't watch both at the same time and fox business news is boring compared to that !" Lol. I really miss his Words of wisdom , but really enjoy passing it along

I still haven't set up the new tank...here's a pic I took of the red spot cardinals with my phone this evening.
