    We are getting it custom made for the length of that little wall and to the edge of the patio door. It'll be 84"L x 24" T and 24" deep with a 36" stand.

    We're going acrylic because I live in good old rumbly So Cal. We're getting an extra thick top on it to help with bowing.

    That one has more bubbles than most of the youtube videos. They're also making them without bubbles at all. I personally like the bubbles, although, there's inherent risks involved with all the bubbles. Particularly with lionfish.

    The skin will go on this weekend.

    Moving officially Monday. Tanks to be moved between monday and the 21st....... all 13 of them. O.O

    There's a "Do Not Kill" list. It's the fish they are not easy replaceable, pricey, my data sources, or "special" fish. These are the fish that will stress me out and will be moved extra EXTRA carefully. I'm scared.

    The front room is going to have tanks everywhere for awhile until we get them all sorted out. We have yet to insulate the garage before we move AC in there as well.

    ehh...I wouldn't do it. It looks a bit tacky, yeah. I should ask..what what this be used for? If you want wall decor..well my house is a notical theme.We have two shelves that look like row boats, a "fishing net" that we got at walmart, shells & some misc. notical stuff. We also have a clock that looks like a life saver.

    I was thinking of somehow incorporating it in my office. If it looks tacky, I won't do it though.... and somewhere between 200-300 bucks isn't a tacky kindda price. My office will have my Orange Spot filefish/Red saddled anthias tank and some of my photographs on gallery type canvas. It's the only room where I will really showcase any fish stuff.

    Yeah I'd like to get some good shots of my tank once it is running & really looks good. Probably mat & frame them, or canvas size as you were saying.
