Been working in the basement a lot!! things are starting to come together.

I see I haven't really updated the build thread much :rolleyes: so latest info below...

Painted floor and started to build some stands.
Put green board on the walls so over spray would not be an issue.
Floated and painted and trimmed said wall:p (I really hate that part!!) Yes thats 2 part epoxy on the walls as well, I had lots left over!

Ready to complete the stands and get them faced and then move some sumps in.

That looks awesome! Great job.
 
Pics of the mixing station:
Decided to move it after I closed up the other walls though so will move after I fill some tanks. Going to put a counter and sink in this space.

Rock Scape for the 120 complete and moved to the tank. Its hard to get the real feel of the scape unless you can move around it but big shout out to my wife who did a fantastic job!

Getting caught up here, love the progress. Everything coming along great. I am jealous of all that space you've got for the fish room!
Really digging the aquascape in the 120... looks fantastic 😍

Thx man! Be surprised, I am actually starting to run out of space. I need a Frag QT and having issues deciding where to put it:p

Its been awhile since the last update on this thread and so many things to post.
I have a EMax 170 cube, the 120 peninsula and a full basement fish room to update on.
Since @Trizzino is demanding an update once a week I think I'll pace myself :p

Still trying to get the picture taking figured out so any pics at the moment will still have some blues, sorry.
Last Sunday we finally got the corals and fish all out of QT and moved to their respective tanks.
We only had 8 coral and 9 fish to move for both the 120 and Cube so the tanks still seem pretty sparse.

My wife's phone takes better pics so will need to first, turn off the tv ;) and get the lights right so we can get a few good shots and post later.
