build

I want to share with you my new fishroom build project. I got tired of dragging the Python around and doing water changes and ran out of space for more tanks. I was inspired by many of the club memebers fishrooms, including Cabinetmkr39 (Dave G) 360 view, and decided to build my own Fishroom...

Thought I would start a new thread since the other was getting a bit long. Here is my latest update. Got my background today::)

I scored a 150XH (48x24x32 tall) off of Craigslist for $60. Now that the tank is in place in my fishroom, I'll start a thread to show how I'm setting it up. Here are a couple of the tank itself:
