Here's where I'm putting the tank, in my house. It'll be in the living room... where we all congregate. "We" being me, my better half, and two loud teenagers and their friends. I'm hoping it'll drive the kids upstairs to the gameroom, if I'm always working on the tank... One can dream!
I can't remember if I built this sump, or bought it from BigRick back in the day. Either way... it's probably too big, but will do for now (48" x 24" x 16"). I may finagle it for a refugium or something... Ultimately, I'll probably upgrade it. I'm like that Icecap 48XL.
I'm also considering do a decorative wall here. I've seen a lot of guys do this, and really like how it looked. I dunno... what do you guys think? Wall tiles/stone?
