  1. Rick, no wonder we were messaging each other around 4:30AM :-) Yup, I like to get one too... I really like the look of that tank especially the OF It will be my display tank instead of frags tank.... some people having too much frags tank (brick) sorry for being jealous but I wish I have more tanks.

     

    This one for Steve, where would you put Vortech 20 if you have one in your frag tank? I am trying to figure out if I have a tank like your, most likely I will then where you I put the vortech? I like the vortech make waves in the tank so it a must have :)

  2. You should of asked me while I was there.... I am like a pro at it. Here some thing to think about...

     

    1. Use a stud finder and find the studs around 42" that you want to place your LCD.... you can borrow stud finder from anyone here. I lost mine. Screws your LCD holder into the center of the studs. The more screws the better.

    2. You can tear out the wall around 3X4 right at the input for the LCD and anther one one where you want to place your DVD, Blueray ect.

    3. Run all your monster cable through the holes into the back of your LCD and DVD, blueray ect. Or you can buy the input boxes to cover the two holes that you cut out on the wall.

     

    Sorry I can only do it but I am not explain well. Pershap if you call me on the phone I can guide you through it :-)

  3. Thanks Steve, I have seen people use sound blocking materials to keep their pump inside the stand quiet. That will increase the heat trapping inside the stand, but I can ran a ventilate from the outside.

     

    I am more concern about is the wall that I want to take out a bearing wall, how can I tell it is a bearing wall? Where can I get that information? I am pretty sure most of the real estate agent wont know (I never asked them about this yet they may know).

     

     

    This tank from RC is what I really want to do, the only thing is it's not complete yet. It show the bed room and the livingroom sharing a wall. Where can I find a house like that? ;-( http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=1451069&perpage=25&pagenumber=7

  4. All,

  5. To bad you don't want to live here in Vancouver. We have two house's with Masters that are up against the dinning room, then spills into the living room.

    Plus both houses have unfinised daylight basments under them as well.

     

    Couple things to look for when getting the house for this.

     

    Is the wall you want to take out a bearing wall? That would mean you have to put a beam up top and then carry the load down to the ground from the sides.

     

    Do you realy want to be able to see through your tank and see whats going on in the bed room, hehe, guest and future kids.

     

    Wireing and plumbing can allmost always be moved but can run up the cost.

     

    Gool luck house hunting and allways lookup who build it and try to find out more about them.

     

    I wish I can find a house like your then all of mine time will spend on building the tank. Two places in the house I spend most of my time are livingroom and bedroom. During the day I can look at my tank in my livingroom and at night I can look at in the bed room while I am laying relaxing on my bed. I have no kid right now and just me and my gf so no need for privacy... (naughty) Like Garrett said I can build a drop down drape when there are guest inside the house :-)

     

    For the cost I am not too worry about it. I am not puting it all at once. Once I got the house I will follow everyone else slowly put it togeter :-) A year will be ok too

  6. My RBTA splitted while I was gone :-( I guess it had to do somthing with lighting. I forget to set my light to automatic turn on at certain time on my timer. I left my house on Saturday and came back on Monday, during those three days there were no light in my tank beside the moon light. I came back from the weekend and found my RBTA split into two (yahoo) The first picture showed I took it a week before my vacation, and the split is yesterday. (popcorn)

  7. Thanks garrett, my idea is to share a fish tank between the living room and bedroom. My gf wants to buy a new house so we dont have to do anywork on it. All the new house these days doesn't have basement so there is no way that I can do the plumbing underneath the house. I am thinking or building large sump under the tank and all the electrical above the lights. Well I dont know how this setup is going to be so I am going to do a lot of research and look for a house that have a bedroom sharing the wall with the livingroom. I found a few house that had a office space sharing with the family room but my gf wants to have a walkin closeth and a huge spa in the the masterbed bathroom. Seaching for a dream house it not easy ;-( But anyway thank you for your input. I will check out rc.
