Anyone see this yet? A co worker told me about it today, gonna have to try and catch it.

I thought I'd share how I built my nano tank for my daughter. This was originally going to be a seahorse tank but I found out later it was too short.

1st I laid out the design I wanted, I wanted something different to show off some acrylic skills.



2nd I made a cardboard template so when I bent the acrylic I could make sure the 1 piece side was correct.

Well not really the end as we all know there is never an END to this hobby. Always upgrading, swapping, buying etc....

But I did get the room done inside and out. Tile is laid, over 400 sq ft of it! I wish I would have done that first it would have been WAY easier.

When I started this hobby a few years ago I never realized I would have to be a carpenter, plumber, chemist, tile layer or electrician. I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting that I've learned over ...

Now for the rest of the update

Its the weekend so work has been done, I glad to say the the outside of the fish room is 95% done. Still need to clear coat and cut a piece of trim, trim the rest of the basement and then save for carpet. But I did get paint on the walls, trim installed and have started on the inside. Bulkhead came in yesterday so I can soon start on the plumbing.

Day 6 of work or What a way to spend your birthday.

Well I fell into some money so I now have enough to finish this project 100%.

Well we started by doing the electrical, 20 outlets in all. I wanted to make sure I had enough....




Then it was on to insulation, and I did put 6 mil plastic on as well just no picture of the plastic.
