  • Aquascaping the Reef Tank

    Aquascaping the Reef Tank

    Aquascaping in the reef aquarium is primarily the design of the live rock formations the hobbyist creates. The goal is to create something natural looking in the limited space of the aquarium.

  • Tank  Room Construction

    Tank Room Construction

    This is behind the pre-existing 2x4 stud wall where I expect to construct a stand to hold the tank. I do not plan on reusing my tank stand as I want the tank higher than the height of the stand.

  • Tank Installation

    Tank Installation

    Room construction is just about finished. Just minor work still needs to be done such as molding and a flip up door above the reef tank.

  • Tank Viewing Room Construction

    Tank Viewing Room Construction

    This shows the room before any construction had started. This is the basement of my house. Poured concrete walls with a concrete slab floor.

  • Tank Wall Frame & Trim Construction

    Tank Wall Frame & Trim Construction

    The tank frame and trim are professionally built custom cabinet carpentry performed by First Cut Custom Woodworks. This shows the trim being assembled at the wood shop.
