very nice

Nice setup dude! I could never keep a bar that nicely stocked...mainly because I've got a "problem" as my counselor calls it.

Apparently spending a lot of money on booze = bad, but spending a lot on aquariums is acceptable?

Where did you get the tanks from? I am wanting to set a larger sometime in the future but for now my 75 will have to do.

Thanks for the kind replies. I am getting the 300g stock tank up and ready for a big liverock order from www.livestockusa.org

I am going to cure the rock for the next month or two and get the tanks ready with plumbing, lighting, etc.

Dave, I looked at your bar pictures several times. And try as I might, I don't see any Crown Royal.

This project is simply not complete until you've got some Crown.

The basement is stunning - I have to wonder what the rest of the house looks like. Either you'll never leave the basement because everything upstairs is old and ugly, or your entire home is fantastic. I'm guessing the former.

I never look around the house Im to busy looking for Daves sweet dog that wants to eat me!!!! Looks good Dave cant wait to help plumb those.

What kind of rock are you going with?

 

[Nanook]

Fiji rock.

oh, oh...I found some Woodfords. Nice basement. What are those glass boxes?

Great looking basement and tanks. I always wondered what happened to those tanks in your basement.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product! and the GEO skimmer.
